• Description :
  The first comprehensive biography of the theoretical physicist who started India's nuclear programme is called Homi J. A Life. Bhabha was a Renaissance man who was also a skilled painter and a music lover. He was a visionary and a doer—a man of thought as well as action—a scientist and an aesthete who was equally at home in the fields of science and the arts. Though not as much is known about his human side, his incredible intellect is well known. By incorporating both facets of him, this biography paints a fuller portrait of the individual. The biography of Bhabha also serves as a useful medium for narrating the history of Indian science and the establishment of the country's atomic energy programme. This biography tells the story of Bhabha's life and work as well as the early history of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, and India's atomic energy programme. This biography, which is well-researched and told in rich, human, political, and scientific detail, tells the story of one of India's greatest scientists of the 20th century and its greatest science administrator ever.
