Nobel prize winning chemist Glenn T. Seaborg ranks among the most prolific authors in scientific history. With some 50 books, 500 scientific journal articles, hundreds of published speeches and a lifelong daily journal, a massive volume of written material written by Seaborg is available. Seaborg frequently collaborated with other scientists, co-authors and staff members to achieve the productivity for which he was so well-known. Although most of his writing was in the field of nuclear chemistry, history of science, science education and public science policy, he has also collaborated on works in sports and collegiate history.
