Chikitsa Bigyankosh by Dr. Nripendra Bhowmick [Hardcover]

Felix Carey is credited as the pioneer of compiling encyclopedias in Bengali. While many distinguished individuals have walked this path, the first comprehensive attempt at creating an encyclopedia in Bengali was made by Nagendranath Basu. This encyclopedia, completed in twenty-two volumes, was published in the first decade of the twentieth century. Although there have been several successful attempts at writing encyclopedias in Bengali over time, there was no medical encyclopedia, or Medical Encyclopedia, in the Bengali language until then. Dr. Nripen Bhowmick's Chikitsabidyakosh (Encyclopedia of Medical Science) undoubtedly fills this gap with a painstaking and essential effort.

The subjects in this book are arranged alphabetically in Bengali, with the corresponding English terms in brackets alongside the newly developed Bengali terminology. The book will be useful not only for general readers who are not in the medical field, but also for doctors. It will serve as an important resource for medical students, nursing students, and paramedical staff as well. The Chikitsabidyakosh is, therefore, a valuable collection for readers of all kinds.
