FROM THE JACKET FLAP: "Old Wine New Flasks is a unique and provocative look at how science and religion--too often considered at odds with one another--are actually parallel ways of trying to make sense of the same material world each a voice intertwining with the other to help shape true human understanding." ROALD HOFFMANN born 1937 is a Polish American theoretical chemist who has also published plays and poetry. He is the Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters Emeritus at Cornell University. He and his family escaped to America from the Holocaust except for his father who was killed by the Nazis. He earned his Master of Arts degree in 1960 from Harvard University and PhD from Harvard while working under joint supervision of Martin Gouterman and Nobelist William N. Lipscomb Jr. In 1965 he went to Cornell University and remained there where he is a professor emeritus. Hoffmann's research and interests have been in the electronic structure of stable and unstable molecules and in the study of transition states in reactions. For this work Hoffmann received the 1981 Nobel Prize in chemistry sharing it with Japanese chemist Kenichi Fukui who had independently resolved similar issues. W.H. Freeman and Co. hardcover books
