apj abdul kalam autobiography wings of fire
Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, the son of a little-educated boat-owner in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, had an unparalleled career as a defence scientist, culminating in the highest civilian award of India, the Bharat Ratna. As chief of the country's defence research and development programme, Kalam demonstrated the great potential for dynamism and innovation that existed in seemingly moribund research establishments. This is the story of Kalam's rise from obscurity and his personal and professional struggles, as well as the story of Agni, Prithvi, Akash, Trishul and Nag-missiles that have become household names in India and that have raised the nation to the level of a missile power of international reckoning. This is also the saga of independent India's struggle for technological self-sufficiency and defensive autonomy-a story as much about politics, domestic and international, as it is about science.

It attempts to create a pro-environmental attitude and a behavioural pattern in society that is based on creating sustainable lifestyles and a new ethic towards conservation. This textbook stresses on a balanced view of issues that affect our daily lives. These issues are related to the conflict between existing `development strategies and the need for `conservation . It not only makes the student better informed on these concerns, but is expected to lead the student towards positive action to improve the environment. Based on a multidisciplinary approach that brings about an appreciation of the natural world and human impact on its integrity, this textbook seeks practical answers to make human civilization sustainable on the earth s finite resources.
