Jazzy’s Nobel Prize Day Bookshelf 2023

Five different Nobel prizes have been awarded almost every year since 1901 to individuals and organizations deemed to have made the most important contributions to world peace, physics, chemistry, medicine and literature. A sixth prize, for Economic Sciences, was added in 1968.

Jazzy’s 2023 Nobel Prize Day Bookshelf celebrates a number of well-known Nobel Laureates, Nobel Prize Nominees and other important contributors, as well as Alfred Nobel — the man who made the Nobel Prize possible.
