Title: "Research Should Be Fresh, Simple, and Clear"
Author: Ryoji Noyori
Series: L..."
Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

Hi, I've added the hardcover according to the information found on worldcat: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
You are welcome to add a new request if you'd still like the e-book to be added. In that case follow the guidelines as per GR template ‘How to request a book to be added to Goodreads’ (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...).
Don't reply to this post as once it's archived it's unlikely to be read by a librarian.

Description: "Ryoji Noyori, born in Kobe in 1938, accepted the challenge to look back upon his life. He saw himself living in poverty and often struggling during and after WWII. He saw his parents and their friends guiding and inspiring him. He saw himself climbing up the ranks at the universities in Kyoto and Nagoya, deeply embedded in the Japanese culture.
He saw himself conquering organic synthesis and asymmetric homogeneous catalysis as well as green chemistry. Formative was his time with Nobel laureate E. J. Corey at Harvard where he was exposed to a completely different culture. Back in Nagoya, Noyori’s scientific success continued and culminated in receiving the Nobel Prize in 2001.
His extraordinary care about Japan’s science led to his second career, first as President of RIKEN, Japan’s largest research institution, and then as a leading figure to many governmental and industrial organizations. The basis of all his activities is a deep sense of responsibility for the society at large and the next generation of scientists."
