Synopsis

“With only 0.2% of the world population, Jews have been awarded almost 24% of Nobel Prizes in medicine, physics and chemistry.
American Jews, accounting for 2% of all Americans, have received 37% of all U.S. awards. The vastly disproportionate award winners exemplifies Jewish exceptionalism.”

The Super Achievers examines such topics as:
• The rarified world of Nobel Prizes
• What factors likely account for Jewish exceptionalism
• How America benefited from scientists who fled Nazism
• The rise of Israel as a science and technology powerhouse
• Lives and discoveries of groundbreaking Jewish laureates
• Prizewinners’ origins, family and educational backgrounds
• Tectonic shifts: Where Jews live now and where they used to live
• Barriers to Breakthroughs: The Jewish American experience
• Nobel science award recipients worldwide
• Women who won Nobel Prizes in science
• Are science and religion compatible?

You’ll also discover…
• The first American to receive a Nobel Prize in science—a Jewish Naval officer
• The German Jewish inventor of poisonous gas used in extermination camps
• Einstein’s Nobel Prize was not for the Theory of Relativity
• Why Jonas Salk did not receive a Nobel Prize
• The 18-year-old Harvard student who was recruited to work on the atomic bomb project
• The Nobel physicist who solved the mystery of the Challenger space disaster
• The physician whose death was kept a secret so he could win a Nobel Prize
• An entrepreneurial laureate whose discoveries led to creating major pharmaceutical companies
• The oldest Nobel science prize winner—a ninety-six-year-old in 2018
• The Nobel physicists who had to wait fifty years to have their findings corroborated
