"Pioneer aviator, numero UNO industrialist, institution-builder, philanthropist, and man manager par excellence, J.R.D. Tata was a nation builder, who was and continues to be a source of inspiration to both young and old. Having placed India on the aviation map of the world with his pioneering flight in 1932, he went on to guide the destiny of his child Air-India with the same enthusiasm and eye for perfection which informed his other ventures. As an industrialist, JRD is credited with placing the Tata group on the international map. Apart from being a businessman par excellence, he was a patron of the sciences and the arts, a philanthropist and yet a man with a passion for literature, fast cars, skiing and flying. As a philanthropist, he was respected for building and keeping alive the tremendously active Tata Charitable Trusts and adding some of his own. As a founder of institutions he played a seminal role in the founding of Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, National Centre for the Performing Arts among many others, and advocated family planning long before anybody had visualised that population would be a problem. But it is an inspirer of men that JRD will always be remembered. With an uncanny knack for selecting the right man for the right job, his greatest achievement lay in his ability to weld a team and get the best out of persons who differed greatly in outlook, character and ability. Filled with an unmistakable zest for life, his desire to instill and inspire a spirit of initiative and enterprise was always evident, and he led those working for, and with him, in the only way he knew: with affection."

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Homi J. Bhabha: A Life is the first full-fledged biography of the theoretical physicist who founded India's nuclear programme. A Renaissance man, Bhabha was also a lover of music and an accomplished painter. A scientist and aesthete who was equally at home in the world of science and the arts, he was both a visionary and a doera man of thought as well as a man of action. A great deal is known of his astonishing intellect, but less about his human side. This biography combines both aspects of him, presenting a more complete picture of the man. Bhabha's life story also provides a good vehicle for telling the story of Indian science and the foundations of India's atomic energy programme. This biography is as much an early history of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, and India's atomic energy programme as it is an account of Bhabha's life and work. Meticulously researched and narrated in rich, human, political and scientific detail, this biography tells the story of one of twentieth-century India's greatest scientists and the country's greatest-ever science administrator.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. John Matthai was independent India's first railways and transport minister. Later, he was India's second finance minister but resigned due to his differences with Pandit Nehru over the Planning Commission. Matthai served in important position in the Tatas and was a friend and confidant of J.R.D. Tata. He was chairman of the Taxation Enquiry Commission (1953), which provided a framework for the future tax policies of the government. Matthai was the first chairman of the State Bank of India of the court of governors of the Administrative Staff College of India, Hyderabad, and of the National Book Trust. He was also the founder-president of the National Council of Applied Economic Research, New Delhi. Drawing from numerous primary and secondary sources this comprehensive biography introduces Matthai to a new generation, even as it rekindles the memory of a man who has become the victim of collective amnesia. Meticulously researched and engagingly written, it also provides a window to that period in history: Matthai's life and work provide a picture of those tumultuous times as well as describe the thinking that went into the making of modern India. This biography fills an important gap by throwing light on one of the more substantial, but now forgotten men, in the public life of those times.
