The Life and Work of Sir Jagadis C Bose: An Indian Pioneer of Science

Abstract

THE author of this biography was fortunate in his subject: it was no hard task to write an interesting chronicle of so eventful a life and of so striking a personality. Sir J. C. Bose is equally fortunate in his biographer: his life and work are set forth with conspicuous literary skill, scientific knowledge, and sympathy with the East. The result is a singularly instructive and eminently readable book.

The Life and Work of Sir Jagadis C. Bose: An Indian Pioneer of Science.

By Prof. Patrick Geddes. Pp. xii + 259. (London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1920.) Price 16s. net.
