Pranay Lal

This is an excellent book! It revisits the evolution of the Earth from its very beginnings, but focused on developments around the Indian sub-continent. The illustrations, the typesetting, images and the writing make this for riveting reading. I am now ready to go fossil hunting around my house!

Viruses have shaped human civilization and life on Earth in ways we are only beginning to understand. Pranay Lal's Invisible Empire shows us tantalising glimpse of powerful hidden forces that affect each and every one of us. Fascinating and illuminating - Siddhartha Mukherjee
