Description

Man has always been inquisitive by nature. Since his very origin, he has been making unrelenting efforts to unravel the mysteries of the earth, the sky; the oceans and even the Hades have not been spared by him. The earnest zeal to know more and more into ‘what has already been known’ is the glorious tale of his continuous development.

Though he has been constantly baffled by the mysteries of nature yet the greatest riddle for man has been the ‘man’ himself. How little he knows about himself? In each and every particle of the universe, man has been discovering some think or the other but in ultimate analysis, his each discovery is a discovery of his own self and so, infinite is his quest.

The book is an attempt to highlight some of the notable achievements of the man’s inquisitive nature. This book consists of 33 major discoveries in all. The chapters of the book are not confined to just giving details of a particular discovery. They go still farther and introduce us to those unknown aspects of the discoveries never been pinpointed hitherto.

The rare pictures and relevant illustrations are an added attraction. On the whole, this book written in a lucid and lively style can well serve as a mini reference book of scientific discoveries.
