Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'Karplus's tales of a turbulent graduate school experience at Caltech will inspire readers to muster fortitude when everything seems to be spinning out of control. Karplus balances rigorous scientific discussions with refreshing chapters expounding his passion for photography and gastronomy.'Nature Chemistry, May 2020Nobel Laureate Martin Karplus was eight when his family fled Nazi-occupied Austria via Switzerland and France for the United States. He would later credit his life as a refugee as a decisive influence on his world view and approach to science.Spinach on the Ceiling is an autobiographical telling of Karplus' life story, and how it led him to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2013. The book captures pivotal moments in Martin's life -- from his escape to Switzerland in 1938 shortly after Hitler's entrance into Austria; to memorable moments like when his parents gave him a microscope which opened his eyes to the wonders of science; to his education in New England and California; and his eventual scientific career which took him to England, Illinois, Columbia, Strasbourg, and Harvard. It relates how Martin's optimistic outlook and belief in his vision made it possible for him to overcome setbacks in his life, and turn a subject of study his colleagues considered a waste of time into a central part of chemistry and structural biology. It is his hope to inspire and aid young readers, in particular, to have a successful trajectory in their own lives. Although research and teaching have been his primary focus, he has traveled the world photographing people and places with a Leica IIIC and has had numerous exhibitions of the photographs. He has also enjoyed a lifelong interest in cooking and worked in some of the best restaurants in France and Spain.…

VERY FRESH copy oft the english FIRST edition. - Auf DEUTSCH erschienen: Facetten meines Lebens : Optimismus, Selbstvertrauen und manchmal Glück. Eine Autobiografie. Aus dem Englischen von Sebastian Vogel: Verlag Der Österreich. Akademie Der Wissenschaften Jun 2022, 2022 (Wir bieten zahlreiche Titel auf diesem Sachgebiet an.) ISBN 10: 370019210XISBN 13: 9783700192107 'Ein Buch voller Inspiration. Martin Karplus erzählt meisterhaft eine Geschichte über Spitzenwissenschaft und stellt gleichzeitig Aussagen über die Zukunft infrage.' (Dudley Herschbach, Chemie-Nobelpreisträger 1986) 'Der ergreifende Lebensbericht eines versierten Ornithologen, Fotografen, Kochs, politischen 'Umstürzlers', Chemie-Nobelpreisträgers und Menschenfreundes ist reich an Worten und Bildern. Martin lässt uns die Welt durch seine Augen sehen und lenkt den Blick mit außergewöhnlicher gedanklicher Klarheit und Kompetenz auf das Wesentliche. Seine Berichte über Menschen, Orte und Leistungen, aber auch seine Visionen für die Zukunft vermitteln einen optimistischen, einfühlsamen Blick auf unsere Welt.' (John Straub, Boston University, USA)'In diesem Buch erzählt Martin Karplus sehr lebendig sein Leben. Aufgewachsen in einer jüdischen Großfamilie in Wien, vertrieben 1938 durch die Nationalsozialisten, machte er in den USA eine beeindruckende Karriere zum weltberühmten Wissenschaftler. Die Beschreibungen von Martin Karplus, sei es über seine Neugier in Bezug auf die Wissenschaft, seine Passion zur Fotografie oder seine Erlebnisse mit berühmten Köchen, machen dieses Buch, besonders auch für die junge Generation, absolut lesenswert.'
