Autobiography of John Goodenough (1922-2023)

 John Goodenough was an amazing scientist. He made important contributions to our understanding of strongly correlated electron materials, magnetism, solid state chemistry, and materials science and engineering. He developed materials that are widely used in computer RAMs and rechargeable lithium batteries. He kept working in the laboratory and writing papers into his early 90s. Goodenough was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019. Here is his Nobel Lecture, including text, slides, and video.

In 2008 he published Witness to Grace, a brief autobiography that chronicles his personal, scientific, and spiritual journeys. It is a fascinating story. The book is now out of print and the publisher is out of business. I have scanned a copy. You can download it here. I thank David Purdy for bringing to my attention the need to preserve the book.
