520 _aThis book is a fitting tribute to M.S. Swaminathan, one of India's tallest scientists and one of her greatest sons, in his centennial year, who championed the greatest freedom of them all--the freedom from hunger. It is a biography that will leave you not just in awe of his work but will also fill you with gratitude for what he achieved with grace, dignity and above all else, unparalleled humanity.
