This book describes a story of scientists of undivided and divided Punjab revolving around the life of Bal Mokand Anand. He was born in the small village of Domel (now in Pakistan). He came from a middle-class family. With hard work and perseverance, he became a professor, and the Head of Physics Department, Panjab University, Chandigarh. The present book intends to explore: 1. B.M. Anand as a person as portrayed by children, grandchildren, relatives, friends, and students. 2. His scientific work in various fields such as ultraviolet spectroscopy, soil science, Raman spectroscopy, and cosmic rays. In early 1950’s, B.M. Anand established a Nuclear Emulsion group to study the cosmic rays that now has become one of the leading centers for high energy particle physics. It is hoped that the life of B.M. Anand will inspire the younger generation, especially the underprivileged one, to emulate his life.weiterlesen
