Popular science (and more) in Forbes Life

A shout-out for the latest issue of that elegant and supremely well-produced magazine ForbesLife India – it’s on the stands now. This edition has a long essay I wrote about some of my favourite popular-science books, including works by Stephen Jay Gould, Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Oliver Sacks and V S Ramachandran. There are also columns and features by such fine writers as Urvashi Butalia, Kai Friese, Manjula Padmanabhan, Sumana Mukherjee and Meenakshi Shedde. Topics include film, food, travel, personal history and much else – in all, highly recommended.
