Satyendra Nath Bose – His Life and Times

Considering Bose's legendary association with Einstein and a remarkable discovery to his credit, one might expect him to be better known in the international sphere. However, little is known about him outside India. Quite often he is thought to be from Germany, name misspelt without the "umlaut" on "o". Even in India, he is often confused with Jagadish Chandra Bose, who was the first 19th century scientist from the country to have received worldwide recognition for his experiments on wireless transmission as well as his experiments with plants, demonstrating such vital characteristics in them as growth, nervous system and other distinguishing features of animal life.
