When Jagannath Giri left India to seek a better future in the United States, he thought his wife and children would join him in short order. Just leaving his homeland was a big step. He had lived there all of his thirty-eight years, but he desperately wanted to further his education—and the best place to do that was in the United States. Even though he arrived in the United States with just $8 in his pocket, he earned a doctoral degree in engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. He became the first man in the world to prove that composite material is lighter and stronger than the conventional aluminum used to make airplanes, and his temporary separation from his family became more permanent when he accepted a job at his alma mater. Giri fought valiantly to get his family visas to join him in the United States, but the paperwork was tedious, and his native country was fighting a “brain drain.” After nine long years, however, the family was finally reunited. In his autobiography, Giri looks back at how he fought to earn an education, keep his family together, and live a moral life.
The human life is simple as well as quite intrigued and it always tries to find solutions to unending problems and challenges. We know that the need is the mother of invention and the scientists in the world are saints of modern age, as based on their tireless efforts the humans have made a significant progress in various fields as telecommunications, information technology, space technology, infrastructures, food technology through green revolution, life-saving drugs, etc. All these fields need chemicals, which must be manufactured at commercial scales. However, the old technologies are handicapped with unlimited limitations for commercial production of these much needed chemicals. As an old man needs help to cross the road, such limitations in the commercial productions of these chemicals are overcome with co-operative effects of other additives as promoters of reaction rates, which in turn help produce the desired products in quantitative yields. Isn’t it interesting to find out what kind of these promoters are, as they have been identified and successfully used through a long journey of innovative, cost-effective process developments with excellent yields and purities of the targeted molecules, which find number of applications in human life. New technologies with above attributes are the essence of this book entitled as “Aniline and its Analogs”, which covers the old and new methods and technologies of their preparations and manufacturing till date, which is compiled by a versatile and an accomplished scientist.
