An overwhelming response from our readers to the earlier book "The Hindu Speaks on Scientific Facts", a compilation of questions and answers that appeared in "Question Corner" column has reconfirmed the place such a book will have in the public mind. We are sure that this second volume, like the earlier one, will serve as a ready reference for all.
Apart from being a compilation of questions that cover many areas in science, this book contains a select number of articles written by Dr. D. Balasubramanian, a well known molecular biologist with the LV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, and a popular science writer for the "Speaking of Science" column published in the Science and Technology pages. He was also a former Director of the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad. These articles address some of the fundamental issues in life sciences and will always be relevant. We hope the list of Nobel Prize winners during the century will serve as a reference material.
This book, Volume II on Scientific Facts, is broadly divided under the following heads:
- Earth Sciences (Atmosphere, Geology, Hydrology)
- Life Sciences (Botany, Zoology, Health and Medicine)
- Physical Sciences (Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry)
- General (Applied Science and Technology)… (more)
