About The Book

The month of May is observed as, “Gardening for Wildlife Month” with the aim to get more people to honour local flora and fauna. It is remarkable to think that some of the greatest scientists like Manfred Eigen (German biophysical chemist and Nobel Laureate), Ronald Ross (British medical practitioner and Nobel Laureate) and Edward Jenner (British physician pioneered the concept of vaccines and created the smallpox vaccine, the world’s first vaccine) were all born in May and have ever lived. It is essential to popularize the science knowledge through the biographies in classical (Abhijat) languages like Marathi. Book entitled, “May Mahinyatil Vidnyanyatri” (Biographies of May-born-scientists) is commemorating their contributions through discoveries and inventions. Biographies provide readers with valuable insights of remarkable individuals. In this book, author explains how minds of scientists worked and the mysteries of the universe that they discovered. Inventions, innovations, and discoveries, the respective domains of science have got a new direction to follow. May born scientists are linked through their wider area of science, bound to have fortified inventions and discoveries. Present book is going to inspire readers of Marathi, Indo-Aryan Prakrit and Indian classical language and popularize the science around the world.
