31 Fantastic Adventures in Science: Women Scientists in India (Penguin Books )

This book talks about 31 Indian women scientists who come from various regions of our country yet to be known in a big way to many of us but none the less they are contributing greatly for the community and to the world of science , arts and many other arenas of life. 










From Botanist who helps local farmers of Eastern hilly areas to combat the affects of deadly viruses in orange plants to scientists who study astrophysics who are related to  mysterious traits of black holes, they are not only making the female clan but the whole human kind proud. 




Their strong willed mind never failed . In fields of Archaeometallurgy , Hydro-geophysics , Ecology , Biology , Anthropology , Astronomy , even in Signal engineering , Genetics , Chemistry and where one had to spend 500 days in Antarctica , they have never looked back . 



Beautifully told in small chapters with colorful illustrations , it is a book I found not so heavy for minds of little young people but enough informative , vividly eye catching and very thoughtful. Must read for kids and people of all ages. .
