Description
Scientific Publishers Descendents Of Kanad Life Sketches Of Some Indian Scientist by P M Tripathi
India is celebrating 75 years of its Independence (Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav). The book ‘Descendants of Kaṇāda’, is an attempt to celebrate the lives of our scientists who paved the way for our intellectual and scientific growth. Many of them have been well-recognized for their contributions while some remained unsung. An important facet of their lives is that besides being extraordinary in their research, they have been excellent students and teachers. Our choice of scientists was simple; those who devoted their lives to promoting the culture of science, not just publishing scores of scientific articles in journals of repute. It has been a common observation that ineffective communication with society and a lack of interest in historical accounts among young scientists are major hurdles to the popularization of science in India, which is uncalled for, history allows us to put things in perspective. The book is a compilation of biosketches of some of those who worked with immense dedication and practiced science as Dharma.
