Synopsis Mario Molina: Nobel Prize-Winning Chemist by : Tammy Gagne
Mario Molina knew at a young age that he wanted to grow up to become a scientist. He studied chemistry in his native Mexico before heading off to other countries to learn and prepare for the wondrous career that awaited him in the field. He soon put his curiosity and knowledge to work as a research chemist. In the early 1970s, he made a startling discovery which led him to an upsetting theory. Chemicals that industrial companies were releasing into the world's atmosphere were destroying the Earth's ozone layer. Although many people were not pleased to hear Molina's theory, other scientists eventually confirmed it. Read more about Mario Molina and how he received the Nobel Prize for alerting the world to this problem that threatened the very existence of life on Earth.

Synopsis Mario and the Hole in the Sky by : Elizabeth Rusch
The true story of how a scientist saved the planet from environmental disaster. Mexican American Mario Molina is a modern-day hero who helped solve the ozone crisis of the 1980s. Growing up in Mexico City, Mario was a curious boy who studied hidden worlds through a microscope. As a young man in California, he discovered that CFCs, used in millions of refrigerators and spray cans, were tearing a hole in the earth's protective ozone layer. Mario knew the world had to be warned--and quickly. Today Mario is a Nobel laureate and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His inspiring story gives hope in the fight against global warming.

Synopsis Introduction to Mario Molina by : Gilad James, PhD
Mario Molina is a world-renowned scientist who is widely recognized for his groundbreaking research on the effects of man-made chemicals on the environment. Born in Mexico City in 1943, Molina was educated at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and went on to earn his PhD in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. He later taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of California, San Diego. Molina is best known for his work on the depletion of the ozone layer, a critical component of Earth's atmosphere that helps protect us from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. In 1995, he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with two other scientists for their contributions to the understanding of the chemistry of the atmosphere. Throughout his career, Molina has been a tireless advocate for environmental protection. He has worked tirelessly to raise awareness about the dangers of pollution and climate change, and has been a vocal critic of policies that would undermine efforts to protect our planet. In addition to his scientific work, Molina has served in numerous advisory roles to governments and international organizations, and has received numerous awards and accolades for his service to the scientific community. His legacy as a pioneer in environmental science will continue to inspire future generations to work tirelessly to protect our planet for generations to come.

Synopsis The Nobel Prize by : Agneta Wallin Levinovitz
The Nobel Prize, as founded in Alfred Nobel's will, was the first truly international prize. There is no other award with the same global scope and mission. The Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace, and the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences (from 1969) have not only captured the most significant contributions to the progress of mankind, they also constitute distinct markers of the major trends in their respective areas. The main reason for the prestige of the Prize today is, however, the lasting importance of the names on the list of Laureates and their contributions to human development. In celebration of the centennial of the Nobel Prize in 2001, this book offers a clear perspective on the development of human civilization over the past hundred years. The book serves to present the major trends and developments and also provide information about the life and philosophy of Alfred Nobel, the history of the Nobel Foundation, and the procedure for nominating and selecting Nobel Laureates. Contents:Introduction (M Sohlman)Life and Philosophy of Alfred Nobel (T Frängsmyr)The Nobel Foundation: A Century of Growth and Change (B Lemmel)Nomination and Selection of the Nobel Laureates (B Lemmel)The Nobel Prize in Physics (E B Karlsson)The Nobel Prize in Chemistry: The Development of Modern Chemistry (B G Malmström & B Andersson)The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (J Lindsten & N Ringertz)The Nobel Prize in Literature (K Espmark)The Nobel Peace Prize (G Lundestad)The Sveriges Riksbank (Bank of Sweden) Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 1969–2000 (A Lindbeck) Readership: General.
