About the book:
Modern science and its manifold applications, collectively called Technology, have been the greatest human intellectual enterprise over the past five centuries. The age-old traditional sciences, origins of modern science and its method, the pioneers and devoted experimentalists, the revolutionary ideas that changed the foundations of science from time to time, and the explorations of the Universe itself, are indeed fascinating. Equally interesting are the nature of modern science as a knowledge system, its values and relations or otherwise with the other human inclinations like religion and spirituality. In this context, the advent and growth of modern science in India, and the présent scenario of globalization propelled by modern science and technology vis-s-vis traditional sciences in India, merit our attention. This book attempts to present an integrated perspective on these and allied issues, which may stimulate further thinking especially among young students.
