A FORGOTTEN VISION
₨ 995A learned and intricate study of human spirituality, this work covers a vast panorama of human thought, aspiration and experience, and brings forth a fresh, unorthodox, original, and unbiased view to some of the great questions of our time.
A fascinating and thought provoking study, this is a breakthrough in the history of religion. Each one of us is used to living in a single religious tradition. But if anyone gets weary of this and longs to drink from all the great religious traditions of mankind, he is told, ‘No, you can study whatever tradition you like, but you can live in only one of them.’
The author is at pains to underline the fact that the past history of spirituality of all great religions shows that unity is not merely an intellectual endeavour. It is, rather, the profound consequence of transcendence from the ego/self centred, property oriented culture, in which each of us is born and which shapes ‘human nature’.

A FREE NATION DEEP IN DEBT
₨ 5,075FOR THE GREATER PART of recorded history the most successful and powerful states were autocracies; yet now the world is increasingly dominated by democracies. In A Free Nation Deep in Debt, James Macdonald provides a novel answer for how and why this political transformation occurred. The pressures of war finance led ancient states to store up treasure; and treasure accumulation invariably favored autocratic states. But when the art of public borrowing was developed by the city-states of medieval Italy as a democratic alternative to the treasure chest, the balance of power tipped. From that point on, the pressures of war favored states with the greatest public creditworthiness; and the most creditworthy states were invariably those in which the people who provided the money also controlled the government. Democracy had found a secret weapon and the era of the citizen-creditor was born. Macdonald unfolds this tale in a sweeping history that starts in biblical times, passes via medieval Italy to the wars and revolutions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and ends with the great bond drives that financed the two world wars.

A FUNDAMENTAL FEAR
₨ 494This is a provocative account of the ways in which Muslim identities have come to play an increasingly political role in recent years. The fear and anxiety aroused by the so-called Islamic threat is not a myth nor is it simply a consequence of terrorism or fundamentalism. Islamism signals the end of the uncontested notion that ‘West is best’. As the author demonstrates, Islamism means having to rethink Western identity and its place in the world, having to come to terms with the idea that the West is just another civilization among many. This study draws upon the full breadth of post-structuralist thought as a means of better understanding Islamism. As such, it is necessary reading for all those who are interested in the Muslim world — in both its state and diasporic forms — as well as academics concerned with questions of ‘race’ and place in a post-structuralist context.

A GENTLEMAN GETS DRESSED UP
₨ 600A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up is not a book about style. It is about the rules. Rules that, when understood, can help any man feel comfortable and confident in his choices — whether he is attending a white-tie event, the funeral of a loved one, a wedding, a job interview, or a cocktail party. A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up will tell you what to wear to a wedding— regardless of the time of day it is held. It will tell you the difference among “black tie,” “black tie optional", and other dress codes. It will tell you how to fold five different pocket squares and tie four different types of necktie knots, how to understand European size charts, how to tip your hat, what shoes to wear with what suit, what to do when you show up at a party either underdressed or overdressed and most importantly, ten things a well-dressed gentleman never does. Insightful without being intimidating, A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up is appropriate for men of all ages who know that at certain times in one’s life, knowing how to get dressed up is vitally important.

A HAND BOOK OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS & NONPROLIFERATION
₨ 4,620The frightening power of nuclear weapons holds out the promise of ultimate security to states. But the presence of nuclear weapons brings with it the risk of possible nuclear accidents, war, and annihilation. This duality of nuclear weapons encompasses the deterrent role supporters believe they play, as well as the global threat they represent to those who seek their elimination.
This book covers the parallel development of nuclear weapons and associated nonproliferation efforts from the beginning of research into atomic fission, through the building of nuclear weapons in the United States and eventually eight other countries (one of which has now dismantled its arsenal). It also reviews current debates surrounding nuclear terrorism, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, and efforts to achieve the total elimination of nuclear weapons while describing the rationale presented by supporters for the continued presence of more than 10,000 deployed strategic warheads. In addition, the book serves as a comprehensive reference on a host of issues related to international nonproliferation treaties and regimes, as well as citizen-based efforts to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons
