Inhalt:
In the last 130 years, 30 Swiss people have won a Nobel Prize. One of them is Richard R. Ernst. In 1991, he received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his ground-breaking contributions to nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. He laid the foundations for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which revolutionized medical diagnostics across the globe. Now 87 years of age, the scientist talks about his life in a new autobiography. Ernst was born in 1933 and grew up in a long-established family in Winterthur, however his childhood and adolescence were overshadowed by a demanding father. He talks in detail about the start of his career in the 1960s, when he made a number of key discoveries in Palo Alto, before returning to ETH Zurich and the shark tank that is university research. The highly talented chemist reveals how his passion for Himalayan art began while traveling in Nepal, which ended in him building up one of the most significant collections of Thangkas - Tantric Buddhist scrolls. His book discusses this and much more, with Ernst talking openly and directly about all aspects of his life, with humility and a wry sense of humor.
