The dramatic societal upheavals and radical value shifts that occurred during the first half of the 20th century influenced every aspect of life, including the scientific and research systems. A biography of Heinrich Wieland, awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1927, one embedded in a chronicle of the times, shows clearly how this one individual adapted to multiple drastic changes in his environment.
