Abstract
This is a refreshingly different book about Professor C. V. Raman, Nobel Prize Winner for Physics in the year 1930. It is written by a professional historian of science, working in the University of Oldenburg, Germany. As is appropriate in a scholarly book of this type, almost every one of the numerous statements is given a citation of the source from where the information has been collected. Thus the author is in a good position to separate the myths and the hypes from the day-to-day reality and facts, in so far as they can be taken from the original sources.
