Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. As the march of knowledge began and humans developed newer tools of exploring the universe, it was felt that science would triumph and it would not be long before the deepest mysteries of the cosmos would be laid bare. There was rapid advancement in all the branches of knowledge and everything appeared to be within the grasp of human intellect. However, that was not to be and our efforts were met with unexpected obstacles on the way. Although much has been discovered, yet much remains to be known. This book is a chronicle of the human endeavour in finding answers to some of the most exciting questions that have confronted us. Every chapter traces the attempts made by scientists and philosophers to provide answers to one such set of questions. Scientific discoveries have been presented in such a manner that a reader with little or no background in science can also grasp their essence. This book is useful not only for young minds curious to make sense of the world around them but also for any reader interested in understanding the deeper meaning of life and existence.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This is the story of the accomplishments of a civilization and its gradual decline into obscurity. How did a civilization once known for its intellectual brilliance and spiritual depth decline so gravely? While much has been said about the fall of the Hindu civilization, few have examined the deeper reasons behind it. Was the decline due to rigidity, internal fractures or a failure to withstand external forces? Through rigorous research and a comparative approach, this book explores these questions offering insight into how and why the Hindu civilization faltered across culture, politics, society and thought. The book is not an attempt to mourn the past or rewrite it. The past lives onin memory, in ruins and in the ways it continues to shape us. The only way forward is to face it: its beauty and its failures, with honesty.
