    Readership: Students and teachers of chemistry, and young scientists.
     
    “A Life in Chemistry is a unique book, the autobiography of a top-class scientist who, quite unusually, is still very active at the age of 76. The book is not only absorbing but also entertaining.”
    The Telegraph
    Calcutta, India
     
    “This book presents an interesting personal voyage and seems to have been written, in part, to inspire young people to take up careers in science … this is an absorbing autobiography of a man who has inspired many young chemists around the world as well as his beloved India.”
