Book Description:

Linus Pauling, one of the most important scientists in history, remains the only person to ever capture two unshared Nobel Prizes, having received the 1954 prize in chemistry and the 1962 prize for peace. Pauling won the Peace Prize for his tireless efforts to ban nuclear weapons, and won the chemistry prize for his work on the nature of chemical bonds, which helped pave the way for subsequent developments in organic chemistry, particularly the discovery of the structure of DNA.
