Features: Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been awarded, which can be said to be a microcosm of the development of physics, chemistry, and life sciences in the 20th century. It records almost all major achievements of these three disciplines over the past century and has greatly promoted the development of the world's scientific cause, widely recognized as the highest honor in the scientific community. People admire the Nobel Prize, praise the scientific contributions of Nobel laureates, and many related books have been published. So, why do we still plan to publish this series of books, "A Century of the Nobel Prize"? This is because there are many science-loving readers who very much hope to have such a set of books, which is based on specific scientific content, enabling the general public to have a certain intuitive understanding of the achievements of scientists; it takes the inheritance of discipline development as the main thread, allowing readers to appreciate the endless progress of science; it is also concise, easy to understand, and enjoyable for readers to read and benefit. Based on this consideration, this series of books divides the Nobel Prizes in the three disciplines over the past century into 26 fields according to the specific winning content, with each field written as a small book of about 80,000 words. The content of each volume follows the development of the field, with the relevant Nobel Prize-winning projects as the focus. Readers will not only learn the scientific content of these Nobel Prize achievements but also understand the development process of this field. The division of the volumes is not limited to the classification of first-level disciplines, reflecting the integration of modern science. In addition, the series also includes 3 volumes of overviews to help readers gain a macroscopic understanding of these three disciplines. The content of the 29 volumes is as follows:
20th Century Physics Revolution
