The thread is taken up with the introduction of Western science into India in the previous century. The contents are a mixture of science and biographies, interspersed with anecdotes and reflections on the historical and societal connections. The style is generally non-technical, with any technical issues explained and interwoven into the narrative. This book is of interest to scientists, to people with interest in science and the history of science, students curious about the initiation of science in the Indian context and about the famous Indian scientists, as well as administrators who wish to understand the roots of current Indian science, especially in the context of particle physics. 001439037 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001439037 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 25, 2021). 001439037 650_0 $$aNuclear physics$$zIndia$$xHistory. 001439037 650_0 $$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 001439037 650_0 $$aNuclear physics$$xHistory. 001439037 650_6 $$aPhysique nucléaire$$xHistoire. 001439037 650_6 $$aParticules (Physique nucléaire) 001439037 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001439037 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001439037 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRaychaudhuri, Sreerup.$$tRoots and Development of Particle Physics in India.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG, ©2021$$z9783030803056 001439037 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in history of science and technology. 001439037 852__ $$bebk 001439037 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-80306-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001439037 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1439037$$pGLOBAL_SET 001439037 980__ $$aBIB 001439037 980__ $$aEBOOK 001439037 982__ $$aEbook 001439037 983__ $$aOnline 001439037 994__ $$a92$$bISE
