Description: From a curious boy in Portland to one of the most influential scientists of the twentieth century, Linus Pauling reshaped our understanding of the molecular world and dared to challenge the political powers of his era. This biography traces his groundbreaking work on the chemical bond, his pioneering insights into proteins and disease, and the convictions that led him to campaign against nuclear weapons and champion the controversial promise of vitamin C. Along the way, readers witness the making of a rare figure honored with two unshared Nobel Prizes—for Chemistry and for Peace. A vivid portrait of genius, conscience, and the enduring architecture of modern science.
