Jagadish Chandra Bose demonstrated wireless transmission in the 1890s and spent much of his later career showing that plants respond to stimulus.
Kunal Ghosh follows that career from a Bengal schooling through Cambridge, the Presidency College years, the instruments Bose designed and built himself, and the reception his work met in a scientific establishment shaped by colonial hierarchy. The biography is careful with questions of priority and explains the physics and plant physiology clearly enough for readers with no science background. What emerges is a researcher whose public reputation has never quite matched the scale of his contribution.
Highlights of this edition:
• Full-length biography of Jagadish Chandra Bose
• Covers his work in radio science and plant physiology
• Sets his career against colonial-era obstacles
• Technical material explained for general readers
For readers of science history, students and biography enthusiasts, available through Boipoka.
