Homi J Bhabha A Life
<i>Homi J. Bhabha: A Life</i> is the first full-fledged biography of the theoretical physicist who founded India�s nuclear programme. A Renaissance man, Bhabha was also a lover of music and an accomplished painter. A scientist and aesthete who was equally at home in the world of science and the arts, he was both a visionary and a doer�a man of thought as well as a man of action. A great deal is known of his astonishing intellect, but less about his human side. This biography combines both aspects of him, presenting a more complete picture of the man.<br> Bhabha�s life story also provides a good vehicle for telling the story of Indian science and the foundations of India�s atomic energy programme. This biography is as much an early history of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, and India�s atomic energy programme as it is an account of Bhabha�s life and work.<br> Meticulously researched and narrated in rich, human, political and scientific detail, this biography tells the story of one of twentieth-century India�s greatest scientists and the country�s greatest-ever science administrator.
