Alfred Nobel: The Man Behind the Peace Prize
Almost everyone has heard of the Nobel Prize, a collection of prizes awarded
for accomplishments in science, medicine, literature, and peace. But few
people know about the man who established the award and for whom it is
named, Alfred Nobel.
Alfred Nobel was born in Sweden in 1833. A quick and curious mind,
combined with a love of science and chemistry, drove him to invent
numerous technological devices throughout his long life. But he is
perhaps most well known for his invention of dynamite.
Intending it to help safely advance road and bridge construction, Nobel saw
his most famous invention used in the development of military weaponry.
After a newspaper headline mistakenly announces his death, Nobel was
inspired to leave a legacy of another sort.
