Book Reviews
Pharmacopoeias and Formularies
Famous pharmacopoeial historian Professor David L. Cowen (Rutgers) stated: 'The reading of this history of British and Indian pharmacopoeias and their relationships brings to mind George Urdang's 'Pharmacopoeias as Witnesses of World History.' Dr Singh's detailed account demonstrates how ideas and demands of empire, and the striving for independence and nationhood of Indian people affected the pharmacopoeias.'
Pharmaceutical Education
'Like the first book this one is thoroughly researched and documented.............In a nation as large and diverse as India, the development of pharmacy education has been complex and Prof. Singh puts it together into a coherent narrative.' (Dr C. G. J. Higby)
Pharmacy Practice
'Professor Singh has produced an excellent record of the history of pharmacy in India. This will serve as the standard text and reference on the subject for many years to come. Its publication should stimulate a greater interest in the history of pharmacy in India and comprehensive references quoted will be of great value to other researchers who wish to work in the field' (P. Worling)
Builders and Awareness Creators of Modern Pharmacy 1 : Mahadeva Lal Schroff and Making of Modern Pharmacy
'It is often felt that a good biography should tell you enough of the person, set him (or) her in the context of the time and should be readable. This biography excels on all these accounts' (Dr Nitya Anand)
Builders and Awareness Creators of Modern Pharmacy 2
'This book, like the previous ones on the series has been rigorously researched and is meticulously referenced. The next step is to present this material in broad social, political and economic and cultural context, and to locate it in the wider literature on the history of pharmacy and medicine; Singh has created an important legacy on which future social historians of pharmacy can build' (Dr S. Anderson)
Medico-Pharmaceutical Professionals
It embodies the research carried out on Brevet Colonel Ram Nath Chopra, and his one time associates Professor Khem Singh Grewal and Dr Bishnupada Mukerji.
Sir Ram Nath Chopra--Work, Vision and Legacy
Sir Ram Nath Chopra became legend during his lifetime. This is what one reviewer wrote about the book and its subject: 'For historians of pharmacy the book brings together a number of important and significant contributions by someone who was at the very center of the action in early 1930s, and who offers insights on the state of pharmacy in India right up to 1960s. But also of interest are the analysis of the pharmaceutical industry, and research on Indian medicinal plants. The value of the book is to bring the personal reflections of a leading figure who was intimately engaged with the state of pharmacy in India to the attention of pharmaceutical historians' (Dr S. Anderson)
Pharmaceutical History of India
'.............. serve as a standard textbook in the Indian universities and reference to the subject of history of Indian pharmacy' (Dr Ravindernath Kaul)
Pioneers of Pharmaceutical Industry
'The full history of the Indian pharmaceutical industry has yet to be written but with this book Singh has made a small but useful contribution to fulfilling this aim' (Dr S. Anderson)
