Synopsis

In 'Benjamin Franklin', John S. C. Abbott offers a meticulous and enlightening investigation into the life and impact of one of America's most pivotal Founding Fathers. Abbott employs a narrative style that seamlessly integrates biographical detail with engaging anecdotes, giving a rich portrayal of Franklin's multifaceted character—scientist, diplomat, and philosopher. Set against the backdrop of the Enlightenment, Abbott contextualizes Franklin's contributions not only to American society but also to global thought, illuminating the spirit of innovation and social reform that defined the era. John S. C. Abbott, a prominent 19th-century historian and biographer, was deeply invested in the ideals of American democracy and education. His passion for accessible history stems from his belief in the power of individual agency, which he illustrates through Franklin's life story. Abbott's extensive background in education and his admiration for Franklin as a self-made man inspire a narrative that is as motivational as it is informative, capturing the essence of Franklin's influence on both his contemporaries and future generations. I highly recommend 'Benjamin Franklin' to readers seeking a compelling blend of biography and historical analysis. Abbott's work is not only a celebration of Franklin's extraordinary achievements but also a reflection on the values of perseverance and intellectual curiosity, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the formative years of America.

    If Jenn had known her husband's family before they'd gotten married, there might never have been a wedding at all. 
    Now she has to confront the reality that her new family holds ignorant—and, at times, racist—views, and that spending time around them triggers her ingrained trauma of growing up Black in the U.S. 
    Why is it so hard for her to speak out against their prejudice? And, more importantly, what does it mean that her husband is silent in the face of all this? 
    This transformative memoir follows Jenn as she confronts the past, helps her husband on his own journey to racial awareness, and finds the inner strength to be an advocate for others. 
    Both harrowing and uplifting, this book is for anyone who has ever been othered, as well as those in close relationships with those from different walks of life. It challenges us all to confront our unconscious bias and seek true reconciliation.

    Memoirs of a Professional Cad

    What might we dare to expect from an actor's autobiography, even one from a star as personable as George Sanders? In the case of Memoirs of A Professional Cad, we possibly get more than we deserve. George Sanders undoubtedly led a colorful, glamorous, and even action-packed life, spanning the peak years of Hollywood's golden age. But the greatest joy of his memoirs is how funny they are, and how penetrating their author's wit. 
     
     
     
    George's early childhood was spent in Tsarist Russia, before he was obliged to flee with his family to England on the eve of the Russian Revolution. George was eventually asked to leave South America following a duel of honor, and was forced to take up acting for a living. 
     
     
     
    Memoirs of A Professional Cad has much to say about Hollywood and the stars George Sanders worked with and befriended, not to mention the irrepressible Tsa Tsa Gabor who became his wife. But at heart it is less a conventional autobiography, and more a Machiavellian guide to life, and the art of living, from a man who knew a thing or two on the subject. 
     
     
     
    Memoirs of A Professional Cad stands today as one of the classic Hollywood memoirs, from one of its most original, enduring, and inimitable stars.

    An endearing portrait of an Indian legend 
    I told him that when I write a book, I would write about another side of him and not just historic events or business milestones. I would write about us and our adventures together, and how I saw him, colours and shades of him unknown to the world. Life beyond the great steel wall of 'industry doyen'. 
    He agreed. 'There cannot be one book that captures everything ... So you do your thing, give your perspective.' 
    It was their shared empathy for homeless dogs that sparked an unlikely friendship. In 2014, Shantanu Naidu, an automobile design engineer in his early twenties, developed an innovation to save the local strays from being run over by speeding cars. Ratan Tata, himself known for his compassion for stray dogs, took note. Impressed, he not only decided to invest in the venture, but over the years became a mentor, boss and an unexpectedly dear friend to Shantanu.  
    I Came Upon a Lighthouse is an honest, light-hearted telling of this uncommon bond between a millennial and an octogenarian that gives glimpses of a beloved Indian icon in a warm light.
