8 Positive Attitudes
(Self improvement)
by  R.H.Schuller
Price: Rs. 195/-


Life can be tough in this high-powered, fast-paced world. So how can we do more than merely survive? How can we create rich and abundant lives that are fulfilling for us and a blessing to those around us? How can we make our dreams come true and find real happiness in spite of disappointments, tough times, and our own weaknesses?
Best-selling author Dr. Robert Schuller applies the timeless message of the Beatitudes from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, to these questions. Looking at the Beatitudes one by one, Dr. Schuller explores what they mean for us today and shows how making eight crucial attitude adjustments can make a practical difference in your life.
8 Positive Attitudes can help you grow and prosper despite hard times, maintain a positive attitude in the face of your problems, and live harmoniously and happily no matter what situation you face.


Tiger Hills
(fiction)
by Mandanna Sarita



'Muthavva gazed at her daughter’s face in the lamplight and felt a strange chill down her spine. She tightened the amulet on Devi’s arm, trying to stay her sense of disquiet. Devi stared through the window into the clear, starlit night. Beneath the blanket, her fists were curled into little balls, her nails pressing into the skin. She thought again of the tiger wedding, and of the bridegroom. “Only him,” she repeated to herself. “I will marry only Machu.”'
Coorg,1878. Devi is born on the day of the herons, and Muthavva knows that her daughter will be special. Beautiful and spirited, the little girl quickly becomes the object of adoration of her entire family. She befriends Devanna, a young boy whose mother has died in tragic circumstances, and they soon become inseparable. But the course of their lives changes forever when Devi meets Machu the tiger-killer, a hunter of great repute and a man of immense honour and pride.
Blind to Devanna’s devotion, Devi vows that she will marry Machu some day. This creates a rift between her and Devanna who leaves the village to study medicine in the hope that when he comes back Devi will return his love. But a catastrophic twist of fate changes the destinies of all three, with consequences that affect generations to come.
Rich with powerfully realized characters and intensely vivid imagery, Sarita Mandanna weaves an unforgettable story in her debut novel.

Red Pyramid

Kane Chronicles: Red Pyramid
(Children)
by Riordan Rick

Since their mother's death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane.

One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives.
Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them —Set— has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe - a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.

Fault Lines (Hardcover)

Raghuram Rajan

 (Author)






Book Summary of Fault Lines

The financial collapse of 2007 and the ‘Great Recession’ that followed left many economists on the defensive. News programs,\nmagazines, pundits, and even the Queen of England asked, with some variation, the same question: Why didn’t you see it coming?\nWhile there are broad similarities in the things that go wrong in every financial crisis, this was a crisis centred on what many would\nagree is the most sophisticated financial system in the world. What happened to the usual regulatory checks and balances?What happened to the discipline imposed by markets? What happened to the private instinct for self-preservation? Is the free\nenterprise system fundamentally flawed? These are not questions\nthat would arise if this were ‘just another’ emerging market crisis. And given the cost of this crisis, we cannot afford facile or wrong\nanswers. Fault Lines is a perceptive, detailed look at where the answers to the questions that were raised during the recession\nmay lie.
