Journey into Light: Life and Science of C.V. Raman
G. Venkataraman
Raman found his effect with equipment costing a few hundred rupees and had the Nobel two years later.
Why you should read this
Venkataraman's biography of the physicist who won India's first Nobel Prize in the sciences for the discovery that became known as the Raman effect, published by the Indian Academy of Sciences that Raman founded in 1934. Written by a physicist rather than a professional biographer, so the science gets fuller treatment than the life.
