"The present volume is a mosaic of articles, a witness to the emergence of different schools of historiography who debate about bracketing science and technology together, about internal history (of viewing the scientific community as a society in itself) and external history (study of science in society at large) or even about whether sciences and not science in general merit their own history with regional variations. Some of the articles discuss personalities who have seen to the emergence of this country as a meaningful participant in the international sphere of scientific studies, relate science to other disciplines and also trace the rich heritage of endeavours in specific areas like medicine in the ancient period or voice recording technology in the early years of this century. Together with these, developments in technology in certain areas, beyond the frontiers of this nation have also been discussed. Nothing is too insignificant to be taken note of, not even dishwashers (gender issue in technology) or the canal system (industrial archaeology) in the broad canvas of history of sciences."

Hardback. Condition: New. 2020 ed. This book presents the basic fundamentals of descriptive archaeoastronomy and its application to the astronomical descriptions found in ancient Indian scriptures. Archaeoastronomy is a branch of positional astronomy that helps to determine the epochs of ancient astronomical alignments and special astronomical events. In this book, only the descriptions of special stellar alignments and events found in ancient texts can identify the antiquity of the descriptions. India possesses a large volume of ancient scriptures like Vedas and Puranas which contain many astronomical descriptions as in ancient India positional astronomy was well developed. The antiquities of these texts are determined through archaeoastronomical techniques. Major events like Mahabharata War are dated and using these dates a chronology of ancient India is determined. The astronomically determined chronology is compared with the results from various archaeological, palaeoclimatological, geological and genealogical investigations of ancient India. This introductory book interests readers interested in unveiling the mystery involved with the protohistory of this ancient civilization.…
