An Indian Pioneer Of Science The Life And Work Of Sir Jagadis C. Bose

About the Book :- The author is asked whether the title of this book means especially a pioneer in science, who happens, to be an Indian, or a pioneer of science in and for India. One hand Bose is the first Indian of modern times who has done distinguished work in science, and his life story is thus at once of interest to his scientific contemporaries in other countries and of encouragement and impulse to his countrymen. But it will also be seen, in the general world of science, independent of race, nationality and language, which looks only to positive results, that here is much of pioneering work, and this upon levels rarely attained, with intercrossing tracks still commonly held and treated as - distinct—in physics, in physiology, both vegetable and animal, and even in psychology. His life and work are set forth with conspicuous literary skill, scientific knowledge, and sympathy with the East. The book contains 29 chapters, 8 plates and 26 fine illustrations. The result is a singularly instructive and eminently readable book. About the Author :- Sir Patrick Geddes FRSE was a Scottish biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town planner. He is known for his innovative thinking in the fields of urban planning and sociology. He introduced the concept of ‘region’ to architecture and planning and coined the term ‘conurbation’. Later, he elaborated ‘neotechnics’ as the way of remaking a world apart from over-commercialization and money dominance. While he thought of himself primarily as a sociologist, it was his commitment to close social observation and ability to turn these into practical solutions for city design and improvement that earned him a "revered place amongst the founding fathers of the British town planning movement". He was a major influence on the American urban theorist Lewis Mumford. He was knighted in 1932, shortly before his death at the Scots College in Montpellier, France on 17 April 1932.
