Wings of Fire
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam with Arun Tiwari
Read
What I am examining
An autobiography of scientific work: laboratories, institutions, and the projects around them. Written with Arun Tiwari.
My note
What I keep is the record of technical work done inside laboratories, institutions, and projects. I use it as a check on the idea that understanding arrives before the build. I do not treat the life as a template for my companies, and I am not quoting the book.
Bibliographic note
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam with Arun Tiwari. The published title is Wings of Fire: An Autobiography. Universities Press, Hyderabad, 1999, ISBN 9788173711466. A later expanded edition (ISBN 9789349750494) continues the story past the original autobiography. I have not recorded which printing I read, so this entry does not treat the expanded edition as the one on my shelf. The jacket is a Universities Press cover for this title. The Amazon link is the paperback ISBN 8173711461, not the expanded edition.
