Passchendaele: The Anatomy of a Tragedy
by Andrew  Macdonald
Genres: Military History, History
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.00

This extensively researched book tells the story of one of the darkest hours of Australia and New Zealand′s First World War military. With the forensic use of decades-old documents and soldier accounts, it unveils for the first time what really happened on the war-torn slopes of Passchendaele, why, and who was responsible for the deaths and injuries of thousands of soldiers in the black mud of Flanders.Macdonald explores the October battles of Third Ypres from the perspective of the generals who organised them to the soldiers in the field, drawing on a wide range of evidence held in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Britain and Germany. His book is far more than a simple narrative of battle and includes critical and comparative assessments of command, personality, training discipline, weapons, systems, tactics and the environment. It looks equally at the roles of infantry, artillery and engineering units, whether Australian, New Zealand, Canadian or British, and in so doing presents a meticulous, objective and compelling investigation from start to finish. Along the way it offers numerous unique insights that have, until now, been obscured by a nearly century-old fog of war.This book will reshape the understanding of one of the most infamous battles of the First World War.

The Business Parables
by Venugopal Gupta
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.56

First Preview of the Second Edition !! I almost got thrown out when I suggested to the head of a well-known educational establishment that I wanted to tell students about business. ‘How dare you pollute the pristine environs of this august institution’ was what her eyes said to me. To her business smacked of greed and accumulation. I can hardly blame her. Like gravity, business was not invented but discovered. It was already there. Peeping out, faceless, whenever someone traded wool for bread thousands of years ago or whenever, more recently, a small boy traded his prized candy for a turn at the video game. Like gravity, it is something of an intrinsic force that we can’t ignore. The same force can be used, both, for dropping bombs or for dropping food packets. Choice is ours. Almost three and half decades after I was told the story of ‘the hare and the tortoise’, I still remember the story, who won and why. I may not remember the distance, or how many stops the hare took or the speed comparison of both the contestants, but I remember the essence of the story. I remember the ‘point’ the story was trying to make. That is exactly my intention: to try and convey the ‘point’ of business. I wish I could use the hare, the tortoise or the thirsty crow. Instead I have relied on a determined professor, an ambitious corporate honcho, an unforgiving thief and his goofy accomplice, a retired investment banker and two sons impatient to outdo their father. Years later, you might forget who the ‘tea-brewer’ to Professor Chatterjee was or who distracted Times-Square-car-thief Jim as he stood before the hardened Judge. You might forget the small Indian village and the big dreams closeted in it. Chances are you will forget the details but even if you want to, chances are, you may not forget the essence, ‘the big picture’.

Then why is weight loss so hard?All too often, we make weight loss much more difficult than it needs to be with extreme diets that leave us cranky and starving, unhealthy lifestyle choices that undermine our dieting efforts, and emotional eating habits that stop us before we get started.

Everyone, she comes to think, is obsessed with being more-revolutionary-than-thou, and her disillusion with the reality of the Revolution leads to a sense of alienation. She returns home with a new-found appreciation for the liberties in the U.S.Thirty years later, Anavy goes to Cuba as a tourist.

Average rating on Goodreads: 3.99

After this much foreplay, something’s bound to combust.As head mistress of Beaumont coven house, Clarissa Miles has perfected two things: keeping her sister witches from accidently turning innocent bystanders into toads, and resisting the sexy overtures of her familiar, werewolf Logan Scott. But her resolve is vanishing—fast. Seven years ago she sold her soul to save her father, and that contract is coming due. The allure of spending her last days indulging in some dirty, naked loving is too tempting to resist. Logan has patiently ridden out the past seven years, content to do Clarissa’s bidding and ignoring his consuming need to mark her as his. Now that the ban on witch/familiar fraternizing has been lifted, he’s off the leash and ready to launch a full-on sensual assault on her defenses. They’re destined mates, and he’ll do whatever it takes to convince her. It’s delightfully easy to get her in bed. Get at her heart? Not so much. Especially when a deadly predator stakes its claim on her…and Logan faces a battle not only to win her heart, but save her soul. 
Warning: This book contains a villain with more personalities than Sybil, a witch in search of redemption and a dirty-talking werewolf hell-bent on claiming his mate in every wicked, sexy way possible. Spontaneous howling may occur.

Unaware of the scrolls content, Kevin and Jill are unprepared when they’re caught between an ancient conspiracy of global power that’s determined to destroy the scrolls along with everyone connected to them, and a small, fledgling volunteer group, the only force on earth that stands between Kevin, Jill and certain death."Lewis has written a nail-biting thriller that jumps into action on page 1 and doesn't stop until you reach the back cover.
