Summary of the book:
In this book
there are many essays but the essay that I like the most is, on the great
scientist of India “Homi Bhabha”. The great Indian atomic physicist Homi Bhabha
was born in the year 1909 and, he was regarded as the father of independent
India’s scientific ethos and its nuclear programme and, Bhabha is remembered
for his unwavering commitment to science and the great hopes he had for the
future of science in India. Once upon a time he observed that an ancient mango tree
stood at that place where a road was to pass.
It was
recommended that the old tree should be uprooted so that a straight road could
be build and when he heard about this suggestion he was greatly distressed. He
strongly felt that the tree, which had lived at the place for more than 100
years, had a right to be there then, he suggested a realignment of the road in
exact civil engineering terms in order to save the old tree. The great atomic
physicist of India Homi Bhabha was died in the year 1966.
Recommendation for the book:
I will recommend this book to children because if they read this book, they will gain a lot of knowledge about scientists and mathematicians.
Opinion about the book:
The book is very interesting and it is very knowledgeable book for science and mathematics enthusiasts.
