But when the clock strikes midnight, Sophie’s enchanting evening ends. Since that night Benedict has been able to think of nothing but the bewitching young woman, and he’s sworn to find and wed his mystery miss.

This second Volume of our unique Nobel Collection brings you more articles by Nobel Prize winners (called Laureates), written specifically for young minds. These amazing research leaders explain their ground-breaking discoveries and how they achieved them, and also share their thoughts on making a career path in science with advice for becoming a successful researcher and having a happy life. Like everything Frontiers for Young Minds publishes, these articles have been reviewed and approved by kids like you! What are the Nobel Prizes? Humans are highly curious – we are eager to understand ourselves and the world around us. A scientific understanding is critical for finding solutions to all our global challenges, from diseases like Covid to climate change. Scientists and researchers devote their lives to exploring and understanding the laws of nature and life itself. Every researcher’s results contribute to our body of human knowledge. Occasionally, new discoveries totally transform the way we understand the universe and ourselves - for example, Albert Einstein’s famous break-throughs in theoretical physics, or the pioneering work of Marie Skłodowska Curie, which led to the discovery of new elements and advanced treatments using X-rays and curing cancer. Each year, these transformative discoveries are celebrated with Nobel Prizes, founded by Alfred Nobel in his will and awarded since 1901, to represent the highest level of recognition for research. In our journal we feature the winners of prizes in Chemistry, Physics, Physiology or Medicine and Economics. Did you know that you, as a Young Minds reader, share an important trait with our Nobel Prize winners? This is curiosity. The scientific journeys of Nobel laureates are fueled by an intense, life-long search for answers – the same curiosity that motivates you to read these articles. As Nobel Laureate May-Britt Moser told us: “As a scientist, I feel privileged to be able to ask questions that I think are important. I hope the papers in this journal may help nurture and reinforce children’s passion and curiosity for science – what a gift to humanity that would be!” Let this unique Collection help you to develop your own curiosity and passion, and inspire you reach for new discoveries in your own life! Check out the 10 brilliant articles in Volume 1 here – find out about key discoveries ranging from how humans find our way using special brain cells, to how we might find life on planets beyond our solar system!

Since 1901 there have been over three hundred recipients of the Nobel Prize in the sciences. Only ten of themâ€"about 3 percentâ€"have been women. Why? In this updated version of Nobel Prize Women in Science, Sharon Bertsch McGrayne explores the reasons for this astonishing disparity by examining the lives and achievements of fifteen women scientists who either won a Nobel Prize or played a crucial role in a Nobel Prize - winning project. The book reveals the relentless discrimination these women faced both as students and as researchers. Their success was due to the fact that they were passionately in love with science. The book begins with Marie Curie, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in physics. Readers are then introduced to Christiane Nusslein-Volhard, Emmy Noether, Lise Meitner, Barbara McClintock, Chien-Shiung Wu, and Rosalind Franklin. These and other remarkable women portrayed here struggled against gender discrimination, raised families, and became political and religious leaders. They were mountain climbers, musicians, seamstresses, and gourmet cooks. Above all, they were strong, joyful women in love with discovery. Nobel Prize Women in Science is a startling and revealing look into the history of science and the critical and inspiring role that women have played in the drama of scientific progress.

Economic theory may be speculative, but its impact is powerful and real. Since the 1970s, it has been closely associated with a sweeping change around the world--the "market turn." This is what Avner Offer and Gabriel Soderberg call the rise of market liberalism, a movement that, seeking to replace social democracy, holds up buying and selling as the norm for human relations and society. Our confidence in markets comes from economics, and our confidence in economics is underpinned by the Nobel Prize in Economics, which was first awarded in 1969. Was it a coincidence that the market turn and the prize began at the same time? The Nobel Factor, the first book to describe the origins and power of the most important prize in economics, explores this and related questions by examining the history of the prize, the history of economics since the prize began, and the simultaneous struggle between market liberals and social democrats in Sweden, Europe, and the United States. The Nobel Factor tells how the prize, created by the Swedish central bank, emerged from a conflict between central bank orthodoxy and social democracy. The aim was to use the halo of the Nobel brand to enhance central bank authority and the prestige of market-friendly economics, in order to influence the future of Sweden and the rest of the developed world. And this strategy has worked, with sometimes disastrous results for societies striving to cope with the requirements of economic theory and deregulated markets
