No More War! In this book, Pauling addresses the need to combat the genetic and political threat of nuclear weapons. He asserts his conviction that scientists have a responsibility to share their scientific knowledge with the public and to state their conclusions on matters of public concern.
1962
Nobel Peace Prize The 1962 Peace Prize was announced in 1963 on the day a limited test-ban treaty went into effect. This prize meant more to him, Pauling said, than any of his other awards, because of the moral content of the work it recognized. It made him the sole person to have been awarded two Nobel prizes granted to a single individual. Pauling credited the peace work to his wife when he accepted the award. |
