"The autobiography of Martin Karplus, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 2013, describes the
journey from his childhood in Vienna, his escape to Switzerland in 1938 shortly after
Hitler's entrance into Austria, his education in New England and California, and scientific
career which took him to England, Illinois, Columbia, Strasbourg, and Harvard. The
author's optimistic outlook and faith in himself made it possible for him to overcome
difficulties in his research and to develop methods in several different fields of
science that asked questions to teach him and others something not known before. Paralleling
his efforts in science, Martin Karplus enjoyed a life-long interest in cooking, working
at some of the best restaurants in France and Spain, and in photography, holding numerous
exhibitions of his work around the world"
