As the demand for Special Operations military forces has grown over the last decade, elite trainer Mark Lauren has been at the front lines of preparing nearly one thousand soldiers, getting them lean and strong in record time. Now, for regular Joes and Janes, he shares the secret to his amazingly effective regimen?simple exercises that require nothing more than the resistance of your own bodyweight to help you reach the pinnacle of fitness and look better than ever before.
Armed with Mark Lauren?s motivation techniques, expert training, and nutrition advice, you?ll see rapid results by working out just thirty minutes a day, four times a week?whether in your living room, yard, garage, hotel room, or office. Lauren?s exercises build more metabolism-enhancing muscle than weightlifting, burn more fat than aerobics, and are safer than both, since bodyweight exercises develop balance and stability and therefore help prevent injuries. Choose your workout level?Basic, 1st Class, Master Class,and Chief Class?and get started, following the clear instructions for 125 exercises that work every muscle from your neck to your ankles.

I?m stranded on Mars.
I have no way to communicate with Earth.
I?m in a Habitat designed to last 31 days.
If the Oxygenator breaks down, I?ll suffocate. If the Water Reclaimer breaks down, I?ll die of thirst. If the Hab breaches, I?ll just kind of explode. If none of those things happen, I?ll eventually run out of food and starve to death.
So yeah. I?m screwed.

Interview with the Authors ? Pralay ? The Great Deluge
Q1. What is Pralay ? The Great Deluge about?
Answer ? Pralay is the sequel to the first book of the series, Harappa ? Curse of the Blood River. After Harappa emerged as a national bestseller, I was inundated with mails and messages from readers, expressing boundless love for the book and also demanding that I release Pralay as soon as possible. I am delighted that part two of the Harappa series is now in the readers? hands.
Q2. So, is Pralay also a mythological thriller? Or is it a historical fiction novel?
Answer ? As I have said in several interviews before, the Harappa series is an altogether new fiction genre, or may I say multi-genre. It intertwines mythology and history deeply with fantasy and a modern-day crime thriller. Pralay is no different. A part of the story is based in Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. There is an intense tale unfolding in the year 1700 BCE, at the time of the destruction of the Indus Valley civilization or the Sindhu sabhyata. An equally intriguing part of the narrative is in contemporary Benaras or Kashi. The intricate saga takes the reader on a forceful roller-coaster ride from Harappa to Benaras to medieval Constantinople to present-day Rome and Paris.
Q3. What has been the reader-response like so far for the title?
Answer. The response has been overwhelming. It is most gratifying for me to share that within the first three weeks of release, Pralay became the number one national bestseller. It was a bestselling fiction novel across all of India. The love of readers was also visible when I spoke at various literature festivals, including the Jaipur Literature Festival, the Chandigarh Literary society and the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival. I was thronged by readers of all ages and regions. It has been one of the most gratifying times of my life.
Q4. Several press articles and media coverage are comparing you to the likes of Dan Brown and George RR Martin. What do you have to say about that?
Answer ? It is most generous of them to say so. Both Dan Brown and GRR Martin are legends. But yes, I do feel the genre of historical and mythological thrillers was sub-optimally tapped in our country, till the Harappa series arrived. Novels by Indian Authorss were attempting to leverage this space, but most of the work was basically reinterpreting characters from our mythology and history, whether it was Shiva or Rama or Sita or Draupadi or Chanakya or Ashoka. There was no real ?creation? being done, like you would see in Game of Thrones or Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons. The Harappa series, on the other hand, has a powerful backdrop of history and mythology, but all the characters are new and intense. Therefore, it is not the retelling of a story already told several times, but a completely new, thrilling saga.
Q5. What are you working on now? When is Kashi, the third part of the Harappa series, coming out? Any other books from you in the offing?
Answer ? As you have rightly mentioned, I am working on Kashi ? Secret of the Black Temple at this time. It should get released around September of 2018. Once again, my readers are chasing me with great affection and even greater eagerness! (Laughs). I am hopeful the love of my readers will continue to pour in even for Kashi. Of course, there are several other literary projects I have in mind, ranging from crime-thrillers to science fiction. But I will pursue those only once I have given my heart and soul to Kashi, and have done full justice to it.

Keeps one reading long after the lights should have been out? ROBIN HOBB
Read the explosive New York Times bestselling debut that?s captivated readers worldwide. Set to be a major motion picture, An Ember in the Ashes is the book everyone is talking about.
Under the Martial Empire, defiance is met with death.
When Laia?s grandparents are brutally murdered and her brother arrested for treason by the empire, the only people she has left to turn to are the rebels.
But in exchange for their help in saving her brother, they demand that Laia spy on the ruthless Commandant of Blackcliff, the Empire?s greatest military academy. Should she fail it?s more than her brother?s freedom at risk . . . Laia?s very life is at stake.
There, she meets Elias, the academy?s finest soldier. But Elias wants only to be free of the tyranny he?s being trained to enforce. He and Laia will soon realize that their destinies are intertwined ? and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself.
Sabaa Tahir grew up in California?s Mojave Desert at her family?s eighteen-room motel. There, she spent her time devouring fantasy novels, raiding her brother?s comic book stash, and playing guitar badly. She began writing An Ember in the Ashes while working nights as a newspaper editor. She likes thunderous indie rock, garish socks, and all things nerd. Sabaa currently lives in the San Francisco Bay area with her family.
Titled Smokes and Whiskey, the book is a collection of 42 poems on relationships, the ups and downs that come along with it, falling apart like rubble, but then finding oneself, gathering that strength back and building yourself up, back from that same rubble. I hope that this book makes everyone feel what I felt while writing it, and that love is a universal thing, and my story is not unique. And I hope that this makes them see that there is a beyond and that they can come out happy and clean. And, that this makes them braver than they already are, and gives them that little extra push and strength that they probably need

An intense story ‘The Immortals of Meluha’ draws heavily from stories and legends of Hindu mythology that have been passed on from generation to generation.
First book of the trilogy, the Immortals tale unfolds in Meluha, a land that is ruled by the Suryavanshi tribe that firmly believes in the prophecy of ‘Neelkanth’ Shiva being their saviour. The Suryavanshi?s (Sun worshipers) are of the firm belief that it would be Shiva who would save them from the wrath of Chandravanshi?s (Moon worshipers).
Blending mythology and philosophy drawn from Hindu traditions, the gripping narrative moves with speed to have Shiva step up to take it upon himself about banishing evil from society.
As the tribal leader of Meluha, somewhere in Tibet, Shiva decides to help the Suryavanshi’s in their fight against the Chandravanshi, who have allied with the Nagas, a cursed tribe.
As the drama unfolds, Shiva, the tribal leader from Tibet, gets caught up between the two warring groups, where a realization dawns upon him of how his choice was affecting the war outcome as well as of aspirations of rising above the conflict and its actors begins to dominate the narrative.
The Authors has creatively woven the legend of Lord Shiva; His marriage to King Daksha’s daughter Sati is this first part of the trilogy.
‘Secret of Nagas’ and ‘Oath of the Vayuputras’ the second and third part of the same narrative take the story forward as the first part ends with Shiva charging to save Sati from being taken captive by the Naga’s.
Spread out in 415 pages, ‘The Immortals of Meluha’ was first published in 2011. After a slow start, the book soon turned a bestseller and more than two million copies have been sold. Till date it has been translated in fourteen languages.

‘A Brief History of Time: From Big Bang to Black Holes’ poses some interesting and unanswered questions, like if there had been any beginning of time or if time can run backwards or if there is any boundary to the universe itself. Stephen Hawking, the great scientist and theoretical physicist, tries to answer it all by drawing theories of the entire cosmos from Albert Einstein to Newton. In doing so, he also sheds considerable light on the dark secrets that still reside at the heart of time and space.
This book takes the readers on a journey into the depth of cosmos right from the big bang theory, through the nature of forces and the world of string theory in physics, to the different forces that constitute the universe itself, summed up as the theory of everything.
Although a seemingly huge subject, Hawking tickles the mind of the inquisitive readers through his simple yet eloquent language of physics and mathematics and has even the non-scientific reader get attracted to the enormous universe and working of the cosmos.
By drawing analogies of Copernicus, Sagan, Kepler and Einstein, among others, who unfurled the science of universe to the common people, Stephen Hawking has yet managed to bring important topics wormholes and black holes into the discussion of common people.
About the Author:

In was in 1963 that Stephen Hawking contracted a rare motor neuron disorder which gave him just two years to live, yet he went to Cambridge to become what he is today.

The Shiva Trilogy, written by Amish Tripathi, has become a nation-wide bestseller in a short time. This is due to the refreshing new plot that it explores and the unique writing style of the Authors. The Secret of The Nagas is the second novel in the saga. Amish has penned down the contents of this book in such a way that it manages to shine as a stand-alone book in itself.
The Plot and The?Characterizations
In this book, Amish describes how Shiva sets forth on a quest to destroy the Naga clan in order to avenge the death of his brother; since the common belief he has been presented with is that the Nagas are the root of all evil. The Authors takes us through a virtual tour of India as Shiva travels different lands and gathers a vast number of generic and non-generic experiences, all in the quest of saving a plagued kingdom. As he travels, he garners more friends and family and leaves a mark. Slowly, events start unfolding in such a manner that whatever beliefs the readers and Shiva too held in the previous book are tarnished. Revelations occur as the evil-doers have been showcased in a new light and the grey shades of the positive protagonists in the earlier book are exposed. The book is filled with nuanced wisdom and Shiva leaves the readers with the message that good and evil are two sides of the same coin; which is why we shouldn’t judge people. As suspense builds, the climax ends with Shiva finally entering the Naga territory making for a nail-biting finish.

Michael Connelly, whose novel The Poet won the 1997 Anthony Award for Best Mystery, is already recognized as one of the smartest and most vivid scribes of the hard-boiled police procedural. Now, with his much-anticipated sixth Harry Bosch novel, Angels Flight , Connelly offers one of the finest pieces of mystery writing to appear in 1998. Bosch is awakened in the middle of Michael Connelly, whose novel The Poet won the 1997 Anthony Award for Best Mystery, is already recognized as one of the smartest and most vivid scribes of the hard-boiled police procedural. Now, with his much-anticipated sixth Harry Bosch novel, Angels Flight , Connelly offers one of the finest pieces of mystery writing to appear in 1998. Bosch is awakened in the middle of the night and, out of rotation, he is assigned to the murder investigation of the high-profile African American attorney Howard Elias. When Bosch arrives at the scene, it seems that almost the entire LAPD is present, including the IAD (the Internal Affairs Division). Elias, who made a career out of suing the police, was sadistically gunned down on the Angels Flight tram just as he was beginning a case that would have struck the core of the department; not surprisingly, L.A.s men and women in blue become the center of the investigation. Haunted by the ghost of the L.A. riots, plagued by incessant media attention, and facing turmoil at home, Bosch suddenly finds himself questioning friends and associates while working side by side with some longtime enemies. Angels Flight is a detectives nightmare scenario and is disturbingly relevant to the racially tense last decade of the 20th century. Amidst the twists and turns of his complex narrative, Connelly affirms his rightful place among the masters of contemporary mystery fiction. –Patrick OKelley

In 1891, young L?onie Vernier and her brother Anatole arrive in the beautiful town of Rennes-les-Bains, in southwest France. Theyve come at the invitation of their widowed aunt, whose mountain estate, Domain de la Cade, is famous in the region. But it soon becomes clear that their aunt Isolde?and the Domain?are not what L?onie had imagined. The villagers claim that Isoldes late husband died after summoning a demon from the old Visigoth sepulchre high on the mountainside. A book from the Domains cavernous library describes the strange tarot pack that mysteriously disappeared following the uncles death. But while L?onie delves deeper into the ancient mysteries of the Domain, a different evil stalks her family?one which may explain why L?onie and Anatole were invited to the sinister Domain in the first place. More than a century later, Meredith Martin, an American graduate student, arrives in France to study the life of Claude Debussy, the nineteenth century French composer. In Rennes-les-Bains, Meredith checks into a grand old hotel?the Domain de la Cade. Something about the hotel feels eerily familiar, and strange dreams and visions begin to haunt Merediths waking hours. A chance encounter leads her to a pack of tarot cards painted by L?onie Vernier, which may hold the key to this twenty-first century Americans fate . . . just as they did to the fate of L?onie Vernier more than a century earlier.

Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever”. The evening’s host is his friend and former student, Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old tech magnate whose dazzling inventions and audacious predictions have made him a controversial figure around the world. This evening is to be no exception: he claims he will reveal an astonishing scientific breakthrough to challenge the fundamentals of human existence.
But Langdon and several hundred other guests are left reeling when the meticulously orchestrated evening is blown apart before Kirsch’s precious discovery can be revealed. With his life under threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape, along with the museum’s director, Ambra Vidal. Together they flee to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch’s secret.
In order to evade a tormented enemy who is one step ahead of them at every turn, Langdon and Vidal must navigate labyrinthine passageways of hidden history and ancient religion. On a trail marked only by enigmatic symbols and elusive modern art, Langdon and Vidal uncover the clues that will bring them face-to-face with a world-shaking truth that has remained buried – until now.

History of Modern India is one of the famous books of Bipin Chandra. This book was published by Orient Blackswan in 2009. This book is a journey mapping the path of colonial India in from the eighteenth century to the twentieth century. It traces the timeline of British rule which majorly coincides with the modern Indian history. However, this is not a political narrative of the British rule, the freedom struggle and the Independence. Rather, this book is a social understanding of the factors that allowed British rulers to rule over India for such a long span of time. It tries to understand what the social effects of the rule were. How the small villages and corners of India was affected by a power that was controlled from Europe. What did this rule bring for the Indians to make their lives better? How did the colonized people perceived, behaved and reacted to the foreign rule? These are some of the questions famous Historian and Former JNU faculty, Late Bipin Chandra have tried to answer through his own understanding on the matter combined with oral and written references.
This book is a product of Chandra’s own research on nationalism and colonialism in India. So here you will not only find all that had happened politically, but also socio-economic aspects like what did the general people understood and did about this rule? He uses an innovative chronology; he deals with causes as well as the effects of this reign over India. While you read the book, nationalist movement certainly becomes the main storyline, but the anecdotes and parallel stories of what was going through the lives that just wanted to get by each day without any trouble are interesting. You can easily understand what and how the social hidden narratives went during that time. This is not the only accurate description of Modern Indian history, but this is much closer to the everyday reality of those who lived between 1700s-1947 in India. This book is a recommended read for the students who are preparing for civil services with “history” as an optional paper. It is also recommended for other History enthusiasts and academies.
