hello Wishwas,

I was wondering if you have manage dto add several marathi books without ISBNs at once (using a list for instance), and if so, how? I tried it in librarything as well as on google without success. :-(

I just joined the Library Thing and was navigating to whatever got my attention, mostly things connected to science or science-related. So I came across your profile and thought I'd write, since I felt you'd probably be interested in what I've added below.

Anyway my own book Convergence documents the surprisingly cut-throat world of science and reflects the real-world experiences of tens of thousands of young researchers everywhere. There are four main storylines, each involving a woman seemingly unrelated to the other three. Convergence begins by slowly taking the reader into the world of science and discovery, an apparently benign culture full of supportive people. However, despite the moral purity of the four main protagonists, sinister undercurrents undermine each storyline as the novel progresses. Thus, although starting out purely as a science mystery, Convergence develops into a slow-burning political drama. At the core of the novel are ethical and moral issues that are frequently revisited throughout the book, echoing similar themes contained within The Demon Haunted World and Contact (by Carl Sagan).

Subject to availability, a limited number of free copies of Convergence have been set aside for review purposes. Send email to Christopher Turner at general@convergence-cpt.com if you wish to have a free copy for review. Please mention Library Thing in the body of your email.

Thanks.

Christopher.

Hi, will check out baraha. You should be able to get "tao is silent" in pune/mumbai now (crosswords etc.) However, I did get my copy from the US when I was in India. Let me know if you have trouble getting it and I will see if I can help.

Just wanted to say hi... guessing from your books tagged maths, were you in the indian IMO team?

I just wanted to greet you. I was searching tags for Marathi and found you. I have friends here in America who are Marathi speakers. I see that the books we have in common have to do with math and physics. Anyway, though the connection is slim, greetings to you!
