American Studies
At each step of this journey through American cultural history, Louis Menand has an original point to make: he explains the real significance of William James's nervous breakdown, and of the anti-Semitism in T. S. Eliot's writing. He reveals the reasons for the remarkable commercial successes of William Shawn's New Yorker and William Paley's CBS. He uncovers the connection between Larry Flynt's Hustler and Jerry Falwell's evangelism, between the atom bomb and the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

And he lends an ear to Al Gore in the White House as the Starr Report is finally presented to the public.

The Goal
The book tells us the story of a plant manager, Alex Rogo, who is trying to save his plant, at least show some improvements within 90 days to keep it open. Alex's primary problem is that his plant can not consistently get a quality product out of the plant on time at the cost that can beat the competition. His plant is losing money and if he cannot make it profitable, the management eventually will decide to close the plant. In his fight to save his plant, a physician, Jonah, helps him in achieving his objectives. Alex, with the help of Jonah, finds that the goal of a manufacturing organization and all organizations in general is to make money. Jonah explains the measurements which express the goal of making money in a different way. These measurements are: Throughput Inventory, and Operational expense Throughput is defined as the rate at which the system generates money through sales. Inventory is all the money that the system has invested in purchasing things which intends to sell, and operational expense is all the money the system spends in order to turn inventory into throughput. Then it turns out that the goal of an organization is to increase throughput while simultaneously reducing both inventory and operating expense. To help Alex in achieving his goals and solving problems in his plant in terms of the measurements which express the goal of making money, Jonah introduces him the theory of constraints. Theory of constraints approach includes the following steps to improve the performance of a system: Identify the system's constraint(s) Decide how to exploit the system's constraint(s) Subordinate everything else to exploit the constraint(s) Elevate the system's constraint(s) If in the previous steps a constraint has been broken, go back to step 1, but do not allow inertia to cause a system's constraint.

Yoga
Children, more than adults, are highly susceptible to falling prey to contagious diseases. A major factor that leads to an increase in the number of ailments afflicting school-going children in particular is stress; whether it is related to a child's studies, peer-pressure or home. This and several other factors contribute in weakening a child's immune system, which can lead to serious health issues. Not only this, growing children, especially those in their teens, are often plagued with skin-related problems like acne and pimples which can prove to be quite traumatic for a young mind. Yoga for Schoolchildren is quite what the doctor would have prescribed in such a situation. It offers yogic asanas which help address all these problems and more. These asanas are easy to perform and do not take up too much of a child's time or energy. What's more, they help children lead a healthy lifestyle which enables them to grow up into healthy, confident adults.

Women who run with the wolves
Within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species. For though the gifts of wildish nature belong to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. In Women Who Run With the Wolves, Dr. Estes unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, and stories, many from her own family, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul

This world-famous bestseller has withstood the test of time, inspiring countless books and films, including the author's own popular sequel, The Eyes of the Sphinx.

Most incredible of all, however, is von Daniken's theory that we ourselves are the descendants of these galactic pioneers -- and the archeological discoveries that prove it... -- An alien astronaut preserved in a pyramid -- Thousand-year-old spaceflight navigation charts -- Computer astronomy from Incan and Egyptian ruins -- A map of the land beneath the ice cap of Antarctica -- A giant spaceport discovered in the Andes

Twilight Saga-Breaking Dawn

In the first part, Bella marries Edward and they spend their honeymoon on an island belonging to Carlisle, called Isle Esme. Soon, Bella is pregnant and realizes that she is carrying a child which is half-human and half-vampire. Bella and Edward decide to return to their home in Washington. Edward is concerned about the rapid growth of the foetus and believes that it will be fatal to Bella, and he wants the foetus to be aborted. Nevertheless, Bella wants to have the child. In the next part of the book, Jacob Black's Quileute wolf pack who are anti-vampire, want to destroy the unborn vampire child as well as Bella. Jacob does not agree, and in protest leaves the pack and forms his own. The birth of the over-grown vampire child leaves Bella half dead due to the loss of blood, and Edward injects his own poisoned blood into her to save her life. This transforms her into a vampire and Bella's new life begins as a vampire. The later parts of the story revolve around the newborn vampire child, Renesmee, who is growing at a rapid rate. Some members of the vampire clan think that the child is not a vampire but an immortal and want it killed. They plan to kill the parents of the child as well with the help of the Volturi, the governing coven of vampires. The story is about what the Cullen family does under this situation and the confusion among the vampire community. The book received the British Book Award for ‘Children’s Book of the Year’ in 2009.
