In this beautifully photographed coffee table book, Oivind Stenersen, Ivar Libaek and Asle Sveen, all historians who specialize in the Nobel Peace Prize and have worked as research fellows at the Norwegian Nobel Institute, explore the history of the Alfred Nobel, the Nobel Peace Prize, and select winners. Winners covered include Frederic Passy (1901), Mother Teresa (1979), and Barack Obama (2009). The authors consider the role of the Nobel Peace Prize in times of war and also discuss the future of the prize. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
