Reading in Punjabi Literature: A Post Modern Critique by Jaspal Singh (Hardback)
- Page : 424
- ISBN : 978-8182476110
- Dimensions : 25 x 19 x 3 cm
Punjabi literature in the last about one century has had a phenomenal development both in quantity and quality. It underwent a number of twists and turns but the most sustainable has been ‘progressivism’ of sorts which still inspires most of the Punjabi writers. There have been a few literary experiments also since the second half of the 20th century mostly under the influence of Western writers yet Punjabi cultural flavour remained the dominant motive force even among the scores of Punjabi writers settled abroad in the Western countries. The present book is a unique experiment in itself. It is a kind of running commentary in English on the state of Punjabi literature in the last about three decades. As encouraged by Mr. T.K. Ramasamy my friend and Associate Editor many of these hundred and fifty four pieces appeared in The Tribune, Chandigarh almost regularly since the nineties of the last century. Some others have appeared in the South Asia Post, an online fortnightly edited by my friend Gobind Thukral with which I was associated as an associate editor for about fifteen years. I owe them sincere gratitude.

The Dyeing and Cleaning of Textile Fabrics by F.A.Owen (Hardback)
- Page : 224
- ISBN : 978-8182479999
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 1.5 cm
- Excerpt from The Dyeing and Cleaning of Textile Fabrics: A Handbook for the Amateur and the Professional IN placing before the reader these useful recipes and processes it has been necessary to use some terms not familiar to everyone, and, therefore, some pages are first taken up with a description and elucidation of such matters as may reasonably be supposed to need explanation. The different processes are class ified as much as possible, and directions for dyeing occupy the first part of the book, while cleaning and re-dyeing are treated afterward. Some recipes do not admit of exact classification, and some are ap plicable to more than one class of materials; but it is hoped that by a frequent use of the index, which it has been the intention to make fairly complete, the user of the book will be able to find what he needs.

The Leader in You by Dale Carnegie (Hardback)
- Page : 198
- ISBN : 978-8182475489
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.4 x 1.5 cm
In today’s fast paced business world where people do not have time to communicate on a regular basis, clients are looking for something more. Dale Carnegie, in this book stresses on the point that relationship building is the cornerstone of every successful business. He suggests that businesses can no longer ignore the needs of their customers and also mentions that, ‘people will have to think quicker, work smarter and dream wilder and relate to each other in very different ways..’ Carnegie says, ‘About 15 per cent of one’s financial success is due to one’s technical knowledge and about 85 per cent is due to skill in human engineering – the personality and the ability to lead people.’ In this book he emphasizes the need for such a leader who will have to communicate and inspire others using a distinguished skill set, encouraging his people to adapt to change and move with the times and by recognizing untapped and creative talent within their workplace. Although, Carnegie wrote this book years ago, he did leave a set of principles that are as relevant today as they were then. Some of his principles that any leader can easily apply in their daily lives are : Consider the other persons’ perspective Praise genuinely and open-heartedly Tap on the power of enthusiasm Respect others’ dignity Keep criticism on the low Give people a good reputation to live up to Maintain a balance between work and fun, in life and workplace ,

Anna Karenina (An Original Classic) by Leo Tolstoy (Hardback)
- Page : 1024
- ISBN : 978-8182478657
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 6.7 cm
Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina was first published in serial instalments from 1873 to 1877 in the periodical The Russian Messenger. A canvas exploring a diverse array of themes matrimony, politics, philosophy, altruism, adultery, religion and death, it is a masterpiece in realist fiction. Anna Karenina, a married aristocrat and socialite from St. Petersburg, falls in love with Count Vronsky, a suave military officer. Hemmed in by the laws of the Russian Orthodox Church, Anna is indecisive and anxious about leaving her husband and starting a new life with Vronsky. A social outcast, Anna is a voracious reader and detests fakery that she feels her husband epitomizes. Unfortunately, with her growing suspicion of Vronsky’ s fidelity, her affair brings her more misery than joy. Eventually, her paranoia leads her to taking her own life. ‘Flawless as a work of art’ is how Fyodor Dostoyevsky described Anna Karenina.
