Summary

"White Waters and Black" is an adventure novel by the American writer Gordon MacCreagh, who recreated some of his experiences during his visit to the Amazon river. The book tells about eight "Eminent Scientificos" as they set out to explore the Amazon in 1923. They have no idea what to expect from this wild land, and as they meet rapids, malaria, monkey stew, and "dangerous savages," they change. The book is prominent in two ways: it offers an incredibly realistic account of the trip to Amazon and subtle observations on human behavior in extreme conditions.
Available since: 12/10/2023.
Print length: 318 pages.

    These Delicious Recipes Will Protect Your Heart And Your Brain 
    This collection of two cookbooks is a lifesaver for you.Fad diets come and go. One year everyone is going low-fat, the next year everyone’s trying to reach ketosis by eating bacon and butter, then everyone’s suddenly obsessed with juices… and judging by the fact that the obesity epidemic is still there, most of these miracle diets don’t work. 
    However, scientists decided to cut through the noise of dietary trends. They took the diets with proven health benefits and tried to find what really made them effective. 
    Here’s what they’ve found. 
     All scientifically proven healthy diets encourage you to eat less meat, more veggies, and more healthy oils. You don’t have to go fully vegan but most of your food should be plant-based.This prevents heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers. 
     But how do you start eating healthier? If you’re not a professional cook, chances are that you know about five recipes and most of them are either meat-based or something like mac and cheese. 
    These two books will expand your culinary horizons and teach you healthy cooking. The first one focuses on the scientifically approved Mediterranean diet whereas the second book offers a variety of strictly vegan recipes. 
     Here’s what makes these books special: 
    ·     The variety of recipes: you’ll find both timeless classics and fun, creative meals 
    ·     Rich colorful illustrations 
    ·     Precise step-by-step directions 
    ·     No advanced cooking skills or special equipment needed 
    ·     Expert tips on how to modify the recipes according to your taste 
     If you’re not ready for a fully vegan diet, you’ll still find the vegan cookbook valuable.

    A real-life underdog tale of one man turning the tables on the casinos and Wall Street without selling his soul to the devil
    		 
    All around the world, the words “Wall Street” conjure up a powerful image. For some, it is the center of America’s capitalist system and the engine of its economic growth. For others, it is the home of rapacious bankers and reckless traders whose greed would lead to a global financial crisis. For an Indian-born blackjack player, Wall Street represented something else entirely — a chance for him to play in the largest casino in the world.
    		 
    Kamal Gupta’s improbable journey, from a wide-eyed Indian immigrant to an ultimate insider in the rarefied world of investment banks and hedge funds, is a uniquely American story. Nowhere else would it have been possible for a scrawny computer scientist to enter the world of high finance solely on the basis of his gambling abilities. After spending seven years creating an investment methodology, Gupta went on an incredible run, generating an unprecedented 103 consecutive months of positive returns while managing money at large hedge funds. His success did not go unnoticed, and he found himself under constant pressure to take bigger risks to make even more money. He refused and always played it right, knowing that there was such a thing as “enough” money, something very few, if any, of his Wall Street peers understood.
    		 
    Much like Maria Konnikova’s bestseller, The Biggest Bluff, Play It Right isn’t so much about money as it is about the human condition and beating the odds, whether at a casino, on Wall Street, or in life itself.
