Synopsis "the nobel book of answers,the dalai lama, mikhail gorbachev, shimon peres, and other nobel prize winners answer some of life´s"

IF YOU COULD ASK A NOBEL PRIZE WINNER ANYTHING YOU WANTED... Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has honored the world's great geniuses in the most important fields: physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, economics, and world peace. What if children could ask these creative thinkers about some of life's most intriguing mysteries, such as "Why can't I live on french fries?" and "What is love?" The answers from the Dalai Lama, Mikhail Gorbachev, Shimon Peres, Desmond Tutu, and seventeen other Nobel Prize laureates are rich with surprise, humor, and of course, wisdom. Every single answer will make you think...and learn something new. WHAT IS LOVE? The Dalai Lama WHY CAN'T I LIVE ON FRENCH FRIES? Richard J. Roberts WHAT IS POLITICS? Shimon Peres WHY IS THE SKY BLUE? Mario J. Molina WHY DO I FORGET SOME THINGS AND NOT OTHERS? Erwin Neher WHY DO WE HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL? Kenzaburo Oe WHY IS THERE WAR? Desmond Tutu WHY DO WE FEEL PAIN? Günter Blobel HOW DO I WIN THE NOBEL PRIZE? Mikhail Gorbachev WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE RICH AND OTHERS POOR? Daniel L. McFadden ...AND ELEVEN OTHER RESPONSES

James Earl Carter Jr., known as Jimmy Carter, was born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia. He was the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. Before his presidency, Carter served as the governor of Georgia and as a naval officer. After leaving the White House, he has dedicated his life to promoting human rights and world peace, founding the Carter Center in 1982.

In addition to his political work, Carter is a prolific author. Among his most notable works are: An Hour Before Daylight: Memoirs of a Rural Boyhood, published in 2001, which is a memoir of his childhood in the southern United States; Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis, published in 2005, addresses issues of ethics and morality in American politics; Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, published in 2006, offers a perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; among others.
