Language: English Brand New Book. Chandra is an intimate portrait of a highly private and brilliant man, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, a Nobel laureate in physics who has been a major contributor to the theories of white dwarfs and black holes. Wali has given us a magnificent portrait of Chandra, full of life and color, with a deep understanding of the three cultures--Indian, British, and American--in which Chandra was successively immersed.I wish I had the job of reviewing this book for the New York Times rather than for Physics Today. If the book is only read by physicists, then Wali s devoted labors were in vain. --Freeman Dyson, Physics Today An enthralling human document. --William McCrea, Times Higher Education Supplement A dramatic, exuberant biography of one of the century s great scientists. --Publishers Weekly.
