S.D. Chatterjee – A Scientist’s Journey from Tradition to Modernity

This book presents the fascinating story of a physicist, Syamadas Chatterjee, who dedicated his whole life to science. The person who elbowed his way into almost any branch of physics, be it nuclear physics, high energy physics, condensed matter physics, magnetism, radioactivity, instrumentation, ionospheric science, or hot springs and recovery of helium from them. Sadly, he missed receiving the credit of discovering the spontaneous fission in uranium. His curiosity to understand the mysteries of nature will inspire our younger generation to realize the spirit of science.
