Chandra: A Biography of S. Chandrasekhar Wali Kameshwar C.
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. I wish I had the job of reviewing this book for the New York Times rather than for Physics Today. "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. . . .
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
