Excerpt:
February 2001 marks the 100th anniversary of Linus Pauling's birth. To commemorate the occasion and celebrate this important figure in world history, the OSU Press has published Linus Pauling: Scientist and Peacemaker.
Modeled on centenary books published in honor of Einstein and Bohr, the Pauling Centenary volume includes a wide variety of original material, most of it never before published, from the Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers kept at Oregon State University. Short contributions from his contemporaries and students, as well as Pauling's leading biographer, round out the content.
