Conquer Club

I am compiling a list of Biographies written about scientists who have won Nobels.

I have like a bajillion on the Curies and not one on Becquerel.
I have 7 on Marconi and not one on Braun.
I can't even find one on Lord Rayleigh!

William Giaque grew up in Niagara, maybe I can hunt down his family and force them to write a biography.

No biography on Lenard? The most ardent Nazi of all the Nobel Laureates. I thought for sure David Duke would have commisioned a bio on him. Or a crappy biopic for YouTube, either or would do.

Gap in the market. Get writing!

Wasn't Marconi the head of the Grand Council of Fascism under Mussolini?

I haven't read one biography on Marconi, let alone seven, so I might be wrong.

I don't think thats legal. Plus, what if they are crappy writers? Nah, nagerous is correct, just write one yourself.

Haven't read it, I'm afraid, and it looks out of print.

Happy to help. I can maybe look through some of my databases for other sources, although it depends on what you want. Would Journals work? And if not in English?

Check the other thread for more info on what I need. I'm not interested in journal articles, I can find those rather quickly.

I thought you might. I'll keep an eye out for anything more thorough.

There is no such list.
