Pranay Lal

In this illustrated guide to the natural history of the Indian subcontinent, Pranay Lal, a biochemist, creates a compelling narrative by discussing geological phenomena such as the lava floods that formed the Ellora caves, and the tectonic event that shaped the unique climate of Bengaluru. Lal draws from various disciplines to tell stories across a vast period, from the planet’s formation to the earliest human history of the subcontinent.
