Duke Agent

Rebecca Jenkins studied history at Somerville College, Oxford and is an accomplished journalist and broadcaster. The Duke’s Agent is her first novel, and marks the debut of an exciting new writing talent.

In the tradition of Georgette Heyer comes the debut novel of the Raif Jarrett series: a classic whodunit set against the romantic rolling hills of Regency England….
Raif Jarrett has returned from battle, and is seeking a quiet life as agent to the Duke of Penrith. So when he is sent to the Durham town of Woolbridge to settle the affairs of one of the Duke’s tenants following his sudden death, the dangers of the Yorkshire countryside could not be more unexpected. Jarrett begins to uncover a network of crime and corruption but is thwarted at every turn by the town’s powerful and much-feared magistrate, Mr. Justice Raistrick. When a young woman dies in tragic and mysterious circumstances, Jarrett is accused of her murder and has to fight for his life as he desperately seeks to uncover the truth.
While he unravels one mystery, Raif Jarrett keeps the lid firmly closed on another. As a stranger in Woolbridge, Jarrett sets tongues wagging, but he refuses to talk about his family, especially his connection to the Duke. And why did he flee to the army – seeking almost certain death – some years previously? Even the elegant and charming Henrietta, in whom Jarrett longs to confide, cannot work out this enigmatic newcomer.
Rebecca Jenkins writes with the skill of a natural-born storyteller. The Duke’s Agent is full of richly evocative descriptions, audacious plot twists and a cast of unforgettable characters: vivacious black-eyed Sal who falls prey to the sinister Tallyman; sharp-minded old Lady Catharine who is cared for by her poised and proper niece; and of course, the gallant Jarrett himself, who may yet have more in common with his amoral nemesis Raistrick than he would ever care to admit.

A Time Elsewhere

J.P. (Jagannath Prasad) Das is an eminent poet, playwright, fiction writer and critic.
His books have been widely translated into Hindi, English and other Indian languages and his plays have been performed in many languages in different parts of India. A Ph.D.
in Art History, he has authored several books on Oriya art. He was a member of the Indian Administrative Service, but left it to devote himself to full-time research and writing. He is a recpient of the Sahitya Akademi award and the Saraswati Samman. Born in 1936 in Orissa, he lives and works in New Delhi.

‘[J.P. Das is] the quintessential raconteur with an instinctive mastery of form’—The Hindu
In A Time Elsewhere, fiction and history come together in a sweeping narrative spanning fifty years to create a minutely detailed portrait of nineteenth-century Orissa.
The novel revolves around the fortunes of the ruling family of Puri. It traces Divyasingh Dev’s career as he inherits the throne, becomes a debauch and, ultimately, a murderer who is banished to the Andaman Islands for life. As Divyasingh spirals out of control, his mother Suryamani, the rani of Puri, emerges from behind her veil as the real ruler, shrewdly and gracefully negotiating the pressures brought to bear by the Empire.
The book is also an engaging portrayal of the great intellectual and cultural ferment that marked the clash of the east and the west as figures from Oriya history who played crucial roles in culture and politics during that tumultuous time are brought to life. Fakir Mohan Senapati and Radhanath Ray, educationists and writers, lead the charge against the hegemony of the English and Bengali languages. Gourishankar Ray, who helped set up the first Oriya printing press, publishes the Utkal Dipika, a periodical which quickly becomes the conscience keeper for Orissa, and Pyari Mohan Acharya, expelled from school for defying the British authorities, writes Orissa Itihas, a history of Orissa.
Lucidly translated from the original Oriya best-seller Desh Kaal Patra, A Time Elsewhere is a riveting account of a half century in the life of a people. It will fascinate both the student of history and the general reader.

All That You Can`t Leave Behind: Why We Can Never Do Without Cricket

Soumya Bhattacharya’s first book, You Must Like Cricket? was published to acclaim across the world in 2006. He is also the author of the novel If I Could Tell You. His writings have appeared in the New York Times in the US; the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age (Melbourne) in Australia; and the Guardian, the Observer, the Independent, the New Statesman and Wisden in the UK. He is the Editor of the Hindustan Times’s Mumbai edition. He lives with his wife and daughter in Mumbai.

If one were to do a nationwide poll of Indians born after Independence and ask which is the one date they remember most, the answer may well be 25 June 1983, the date on which India won the cricket World Cup. It is often said that cricket in India is like a religion; nothing could be more misleading. Religion has scarred the nation more deeply than anything else. Cricket is the balm that heals.
In our collective consciousness, there is nothing quite like cricket. As the most visible expression of national identity, as an obsession or a dream, cricket is the only thing that possibly unites a country as diverse and as contradiction-ridden as India.
In this brilliant book, Soumya Bhattacharya shows how we have made this game our own, given it our own colour, our own customs, our own codes. And how cricket in turn has come to permeate every aspect of our public life, from popular culture to politics—so that, when a game is on, the rest of life happens strictly between overs.
In the end, All That You Can’t Leave Behind is as much about India as it is about cricket.

Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think

Brian Wansink, PhD is a Stanford graduate and a professor of applied economics and management, resident at Cornell University’s Food and Brand Laboratory in New York, USA. He specializes in nutrition and marketing, and is the author of three previous books on the subject.

It’s not what you eat, its how you eat it…
Carefully conducted studies over many years show the same thing: that our eating habits are almost entirely unconscious, and can be influenced by hundreds of outside factors. In fact, every one of us makes over two hundred decisions about eating every day, and of those, ninety per cent are made without any conscious decision.
By gaining knowledge of your eating habits, he demonstrates that it is entirely possible to lose a stone in weight. While detailing his simple and fascinating studies, Dr. Wansink explains how people don’t eat calories, they eat volume, how we are manipulated by brand and appearance, and what your favourite comfort food says about you.
With an insightful, incredible exploration what makes us eat the way we eat, Dr. Wansink demonstrates that it’s not what we eat – it’s how we eat it.

The Lacuna

Barbara Kingsolver was born in 1955 and grew up in eastern Kentucky. Her books include poetry, non-fiction and award-winning fiction, and in 1999 she was shortlisted for the Orange Prize for The Poisonwood Bible (recently voted Britain's favourite reading group book). She lives with her husband and daughter in southern Arizona and in the mountains of southern Appalachia.

The Lacuna is the story of a man’s search for safety in the grinding jaws of two nations, at a moment when the entire world seemed bent on reinventing itself at any cost.
Born in the US, reared in a series of provisional households in Mexico, Harrison Shepherd is mostly a liability to his social-climbing flapper mother, Salomé. From a coastal island jungle to the unpaved neighbourhoods of 1930s Mexico City, through a disastrous stint at a military school in Virginia and back again, his fortunes never steady as Salomé finds her rich men-friends always on the losing side of the Mexican Revolution. Sometimes she gives her son cigarettes instead of supper.
He aims for invisibility, observing his world and recording everything with a peculiar selfless irony in his notebooks. Life is whatever he learns from servants putting him to work in the kitchen, errands he runs in the streets, and one fateful day, by mixing plaster for famed Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. Making himself useful in the household of the muralist, his wife Frida Kahlo, and exiled Bolshevik leader Lev Trotsky, young Shepherd inadvertently casts his lot with art and revolution, and the howling gossip and reportage that dictate public opinion.
A violent upheaval sends him north to a nation newly caught up in the internationalist goodwill of World War II. In the mountain city of Asheville, North Carolina, he remakes himself in America’s hopeful image. Under the watch of his peerless stenographer, Violet Brown, he finds an extraordinary use for his talents of observation. But political winds continue to push him between north and south, in a plot that turns many times on the unspeakable breach - the lacuna - between truth and public presumption.
This is a gripping story of identity, connection with our past, and the power of words to create or devastate. Like no other novel yet written, it illuminates an era when bold internationalism gave way to a post-war landscape of narrowly defined ‘Americanism’. Crossing two decades, from the vibrant revolutionary murals of Mexico City to the halls of a Congress bent on eradicating the colour red, The Lacuna is as deep and rich as the New World itself.

A Tale of Two Revolts: India 1857 and the American Civil War

A former parliamentarian in India, Rajmohan Gandhi currently teaches in the USA at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Apart from several biographies, his works include Understanding the Muslim Mind and Revenge and Reconciliation: Understanding South Asian History, both published by Penguin India .

Two wars––the 1857 Revolt in India and the American Civil War—seemingly fought for very different reasons, occurred at opposite ends of the globe in the middle of the nineteenth century. But they were both fought in a world still dominated by Great Britain and the battle cry in both conflicts was freedom.
Rajmohan Gandhi brings the drama of both wars to one stage in A Tale of Two Revolts. He deftly reconstructs events from the point of view of William Howard Russell—an Irishman who was also perhaps the world’s first war correspondent—and uncovers significant connections between the histories of the United States, Britain and India. The result is a tale of two revolts, three countries and one century. Into this fascinating story Rajmohan Gandhi weaves the choices of five extraordinary inhabitants of India—Sayyid Ahmed Khan, Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar, Jotiba Phule, Allan Octavian Hume and Bankimchandra Chatterjee—and of three towering figures of world history—Karl Marx, Leo Tolstoy and Abraham Lincoln—to show the continuities between the nineteenth century and the world we live in today.
Scholarly, insightful and gripping, A Tale of Two Revolts raises new questions about these wars that changed the world.

Stones into Schools

Greg Mortenson is the recipient of Pakistan's highest civil award (The Star of Pakistan) for his sixteen years work to promote education and peace. The cofounder of the Central Asia Institute and Pennies For Peace, he lives in Montana with his family.

From the author of the phenomenal No.1 bestseller Three Cups of Tea, the continuing story of this determined humanitarian''s efforts to promote peace through education.

In this dramatic first-person narrative, Greg Mortenson picks up where Three Cups of Tea left off in 2003, recounting his relentless, ongoing efforts to establish schools for girls in Afghanistan; his extensive work in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan after a massive earthquake hit the region in 2005; and the unique ways he has built relationships with Islamic clerics, militia commanders, and tribal leaders even as he was dodging shootouts with feuding Afghan warlords and surviving an eight-day armed abduction by the Taliban. He shares for the first time his broader vision to promote peace through education and literacy, as well as touching on military matters, Islam, and women – all woven together with the many rich personal stories of the people who have been involved in this remarkable two-decade humanitarian effort.

Roadrunner

Trained in computer science, with two decades of software under his belt, Dilip D’Souza eventually realized writing was his passion. He has written two books, Branded by Law: Looking at India’s Denotified Tribes and The Narmada Dammed, a monograph of essays on patriotism, and has contributed to several anthologies. He has won a number of awards for his writing.

What do we learn when one great democracy looks at another? Alexis de Tocqueville''s seminal Democracy in America answered the question 1800S. Today, India is the world''s other great democracy, and maybe the answers are different.
Through stories large and small, this book shows us America as refracted through the eyes of an Indian who is critical but not intolerant, understanding but not starry-eyed. From gawking at wall murals by German World War II POWs in Texas to getting to know the bikers for Christ at the annual bike carnival in Sturgis, from charting the history of immigrant Icelanders to driving a fire truck in a quiet mountain town, D''Souza travels American roads, discovering old cultures and new concerns in one of the most revered and reviled nations in the world today.
More important, he explores the lessons in that process, for India and for readers everywhere, as he searches for meaning and nuance in ideas like patriotism and being liberal, in a country''s sense of self.Passionate and perceptive, wry and empathetic, this book is ultimately about what it means to belong. Wherever you are.

Inside 26/11

The Indian Express team of reporters and photographers were some of the closest witnesses of the carnage and the counter-terror operations that followed, recording them from within minutes after the first bullets were fired. This team also stayed with the story for weeks and months after, tracking the complex investigations across countries, exposing the diabolical plot behind the attack and even uncovering some shocking lapses in the response of the security and emergency system.

Terror is no stranger to India, or the city of Mumbai for that matter. But the style, scale and shock of the assault on the country''s financial capital on 26 November 2008, was horrifyingly unprecedented. People returning home from work, or enjoying a mid-week beer, having dinner at a restaurant, or just staying at home and entertaining guests, were brutally targeted and killed by ten terrorists who came by boat from Pakistan. It was sixty hours of mayhem the likes of which the world had rarely seen.

Sujit Chakraborty has been a journalist since 1982 and has worked on a surprising range of subjects, from culture and art to criminalisation of the Marxist political party in the eastern Indian state of Bengal to telling the world what Mother Teresa was really suffering from in 1990, a closely guarded secret till his revelation. Sujit has specialised in environmental journalism. He lives in Thimphu, Bhutan, and is the driving force behind Bhutan Today, the kingdom’s first and only daily newspaper.

One journalist travels on various errands and assignments across the plains of northern India. Not fussy about personal comforts, passionate about watching and understanding others, he observes and makes mental notes. His background as a former Leftist activist takes him closer to the common people, like the itinerant singer who prays to the long demised Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti to rebuild his future; like the impoverished government janitor Bikol Tanti, who loses money trying to win a gamble.

The Other Woman


Monica Das’s work on gender studies has been recognized by several international universities.

She edited Her Story So Far: Tales of the Girl Child in India for Penguin Books India in 2003. She teaches Economics in Delhi University and is a Fellow at the Developing Countries Research Centre, Delhi University.

Deceptive, tenacious and sinful, the ''other woman'' seduces husbands, breaks happy and unhappy marriages by playing the dark temptress. She stands as much on the inside as on the outside of the relationship she infringes upon. As lover, girlfriend or second wife, she is not always in the wrong, though she can often end up becoming a victim. This is the woman, powerful yet powerless, that we encounter in story after story of this unusual collection. Manorama''s many men abandon her the day she falls in love with one man. Maganlal Daruwala initiates Shardabai into prostitution and becomes the richest bidder for first nights to her daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter. A tribal girl frees Randhir of all inhibitions in a sexual encounter. A man surrenders his body to an older woman as a devotee''s offering to a deity. A visitor from home brings along Suniti''s little secret from the past, thus shattering the calm of her marital life. Incredibly moving tales of love and heartbreak, The Other Woman bring together the many perceptions of love, lust, fidelity, and the enigmatic ''otherness'' of all women.

Civil Aviation In India: Challenges and Prospects

A leading aerospace journalist for almost half a century, Hormuz P. Mama started his career as Technical Editor for Air Space Age. Over the decades, he held senior positions with major international journals, including that of a Senior Editor for Airport Forum of Germany, and Asia Editor for the Swiss journal Interavia.

India, with a population of 1.1 billion, would seem an ideal environment for air travel. However, in reality, the air travel market of India is much smaller than believed and just about 2.5 percent of the population flies at least once a year. By misjudging the size of the market, India''s airlines have created gross excess capacity which continues to plague them.

Hindu View of Life

A timeless treatise on what constitutes the Hindu way of life
Religion in India can appear to be a confusing tangle of myths, with many different gods and goddesses worshipped in countless forms.This complexity stems from a love of story-telling, as much as anything else, but it is only the surface expression of Indian faith. Beneath can be found a system of unifying beliefs that have guided the lives of ordinary families for generations. Here, one of the most profound philosophers of India explains these and other related concepts intrinsic to the Hindu philosophy of life.

The Giver New edition


Lois Lowry, author of over twenty novels and twice winner of the Newbery Medal (for The Giver and Number the Stars), was born on 20 March 1937 in Hawaii. Her father was an Army dentist and the family lived all over the world. Now divorced, she lives in West Cambridge with her dog, Bandit, and spends weekends in her nineteenth-century farmhouse in New Hampshire.

the surface…

Each Family Unit is entitled to onefemale and male child.Each member of The Community has their profession carefully chosen for them by the Committee of Elders, and they never make a mistake. Jonas, a sensitive twelve-year-old boy, had never thought there was anything wrong with his Community, until one day. From the moment Jonas is selected as the Receiver of Memory at The Ceremony, his life is never the same. Jonas discovers that The Community is not as perfect as it seems. Although they appear to have everything, they are missing something of great importance. It is up to Jonas, with the help of the Giver, to find what long ago had been lost. And so Jonas embarks on an adventure to save the world as he knows it.Simply and beautifully written, The Giver is sure to touch the heart of every reader. Lois Lowry deals with issues of everyday life that are so often taken for granted. Through the noble character of Jonas, she presents a glimpse of what could be the future. As the tension in the novel mounts,so does the number of questions that Lowry confronts the reader with. The Giver is a book of courage and adventure, and most importantly, one of deep thought. Once readers make contactwith Lowry''s treasure, they may never see things exactly quite the same. Lowry presents a forceful novel that demands to be heard and philosophically dealt with.

Fragile Eternity

Coming Back To Me: The Autobiography of Marcus Trescothick

A true-life sporting memoir of one of the best batsman in the game who stunned the cricket world when he prematurely ended his own England career. Trescothick''s brave and soul-baring account of his mental frailties opens the way to a better understanding of the unique pressures experienced by modernday professional sportsmen.At 29, Marcus Trescothick was widely regarded as one of the batting greats. With more than 5,000 Test runs to his name and a 2005 Ashes hero, some were predicting this gentle West Country cricket nut might even surpass Graham Gooch''s record to become England''s highest ever Test run scorer.But the next time Trescothick hit the headlines it was for reasons no one but a handful of close friends and colleagues could have foreseen.On Saturday 25 February 2006, four days before leading England into the first Test against India in place of the injured captain Vaughan, Trescothick was out for 32 in the second innings of the final warm-up match. As he walked from the field he fought to calm the emotional storm that was raging inside him, at least to hide it from prying eyes. In the dressing room he broke down in tears, overwhelmed by a blur of anguish, uncertainty and sadness he had been keeping at bay for longer than he knew.Within hours England''s best batsman was on the next flight home. His departure was kept secret until after close of play when Coach Duncan Fletcher told the stunned media his acting captain had quit the tour for ''personal, family reasons.''

An Idealist View of Life

''One of the most profoundly religious books of our time'' — The SpectatorScience is a system of second causes, which cannot describe the world adequately, much less account for it. In this remarkable treatise, Radhakrishnan explores aspects of the modern intellectual debate on science vis-à-vis religion and the vain attempts to find a substitute for religion. He discusses, drawing upon the traditions of East and West, the nature and validity of religious experience.Finally, he creates a fine vision of man''s evolution and the emergence of higher values. The range of subjects combined with the author''s own faith, undogmatic and free of creed, makes this book a philosophical education in itself.

Zero Percentile: Missed IIT Kissed Russia


Neeraj Chhibba was born and raised in India. He studied engineering at Volgograd, Russia, where he spent almost seven and a half years of his life. He is currently employed with a software company in India. His single claim to literary honours is a ‘Highly Commendable’ certificate in Class X in an English Essay Competition organised by the Royal Commonwealth Society and he himself was surprised to be the only one in New Delhi to have received it that year in his category. He could perhaps have done more but the pressure of succeeding professionally and earning bread made him turn away from writing. This is his first book. And if you like it, he promises, there would be a lot more.
Zero Percentile is a heady cocktail of the fascinating adventures of Pankaj, a less favoured son of destiny, across two completely different countries, India and Russia.

The Al Qaeda Connection


Imtiaz Gul has written extensively on Islamist groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan for several Pakistani English-language newspapers and journals. He reported on Pakistan for the German radio/TV network, Deutsche Welle and for the German Press Agency, deutsche presse agentur until September 2006 and for CNN between 1998–2000. Gul appears regularly on Al-Jazeera and on Indian and Pakistani TV channels as an analyst on Afghanistan, Pakistan’s tribal areas and militancy issues. He is the author of The Unholy Nexus: Pak-Afghan Relations under the Taliban (2002), and edited Islam and Liberalism (2002). Imtiaz Gul currently heads the Centre for Research and Security Studies in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The face of Terror has changed dramatically. Today major terrorist attacks are marked by their meticulous preparation and deadly execution—as the Mumbai attacks of 26/11 have clearly established. The most important planning centre for these operations is the tribal region located on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Following the U.S. action in Afghanistan in December 2001 many Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters escaped and settled down in these regions where, historically, the writ of the state has always been weak. Taking advantage of the inhospitable terrain and the porous border, Al Qaeda militants of multiple ethnic origins regrouped.In 2008 alone they launched over fifty suicide missions which have inflicted more than six thousand casualties in attacks across the world. In these remote valleys the fatal mix of ultra-conservatism, economic under-development, religious obscurantism and the absence of law and justice has resulted in a cauldron of militancy which is being fed and fuelled by the shadowy presence of the Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Ever-younger fighters are being recruited for suicide missions while music, shaving and the education of girls are proscribed by increasingly powerful clerics.In this book Imtiaz Gul follows the trail of militancy and the way it has evolved under Al Qaeda’s influence in tribal areas.

Unleashing Nepal: Past, Present and Future of the Economy

Sujeev Shakya is a business executive with a societal conscience and is based in Kathmandu. He is a chartered accountant and also holds a graduate diploma in international marketing from Boston University. Since 2001, under the nom de plume ‘Arthabeed’, he has written a very popular fortnightly column in Nepali Times that delivers sharp economic analysis with humour and common sense.

The past decade has been an eventful one for Nepal. It has featured thwarted attempts at democracy, a royal massacre and a coup, and finally, Maoist guerrillas coming over ground, winning a popular electoral mandate and ending the centuries-old institution of monarchy.

Unleashing Nepal has been written at a time when many fundamental questions on economic rights are being raised by an ever more assertive citizenry. It narrates the chequered history of the Nepal economy—from the time of unification, through decades of autocracy, mixed economy and foreign aid dependence, to the ‘conflictonomics’ of the Maoist guerrilla war and a remittance economy driven by the labour of the Nepali diaspora. Acclaimed columnist and business executive Sujeev Shakya unflinchingly examines the squandered opportunities of the past, but also, importantly, looks at Nepal as a potential Asian Tiger.

Freedom At Midnight - Revised

Dominique Lapierre & Larry Collins enjoy worldwide fame as the author of several best-selling books on modern history, including Freedom at Midnight, and Is Paris Burning? Dominique began life as a journalist, working with Paris Match, a magazine that brought out well-researched, in-depth articles. He met Larry Collins, an American journalist, in Paris and in tandem they jointly authored books for over twenty years. A Thousand Suns, a collection of stories written by Dominique Lapierre, bears the stamp of the essence of their writings: the quality of not making judgements but bearing witness to events.

First published in 1975, this 2009 edition is a new edition of the best-selling book described as ‘irreplacable’ by Le Monde, Paris. The defining moments of the end of the British Raj, the independence of 400 million people, their division into India and the newly created Pakistan - Time Magazine raised a poetic salutation to this brilliantly written book, hailing it as ‘the Song of India . . . illuminated like scenes in a pageant’.
The significance of the new edition lies in engaging the minds of two generations ‘born’ into a free country, to enable them to empathetically understand the aspirations and goals that united our leaders then towards the common cause of freedom. The significance lies in invoking the re-awakening of the Indian spirit. Surely it is time for the over 1 billion people in India to ask themselves honestly what their contribution has been thus far towards realizing an India free from poverty, illiteracy and inequality.
While numerous tomes have been written on the Indian freedom struggle, the popularity of Freedom at Midnight lies in its easy narrative flow which veers from the thrilling to the enlightening, sometimes poignant and ever compelling style.
