Sinopse

Dust Trails Persist explores the science of desert travel, emphasizing the crucial link between travel pacing and energy conservation in harsh, arid environments. It argues that understanding desert geography and human physiology is key to safe and efficient expeditions. A unique aspect of the book is its focus on individualized pacing strategies, tailored to specific environmental conditions and physiological profiles, rather than offering generic advice.

 
The book delves into how heat, dehydration, and terrain affect energy expenditure, highlighting the need for strategic pacing to mitigate these factors. By integrating climatology, human physiology, and navigational science, Dust Trails Persist provides an evidence-based framework for understanding desert travel dynamics.

 
The text progresses from introducing fundamental concepts of desert climatology to developing practical frameworks for planning desert journeys, and finally, discussing advanced topics like emergency preparedness. The book emphasizes optimizing energy expenditure to maximize travel distance and survival probability in the desert. It progresses by first laying the groundwork of climatology and human physiology, then moves to practical planning and execution, and concludes with advanced topics like emergency preparedness.

 
It gives outdoor enthusiasts, adventure travelers, and researchers insights not found in existing literature.

Just Aspire

Ranjit Madgavkar, Ajai Chowdhry

'When I left Jabalpur, the small town where I grew up, to pursue a career, I could not have dreamt that I would find myself at the vanguard of pathbreaking revolutions that would transform India.' 
 
Entrepreneur, sportsman, salesman, engineer, educationist, jazz aficionado and investor-meet Ajai Chowdhry, the HCL cofounder who dons many hats, all with equal ease. Growing up in the sleepy town of Jabalpur in a family that had migrated from Abbottabad post India's Independence, Ajai's life was set for a linear trajectory-engineering, a well-paying job and a comfortable life-but for the year 1975. 
This was the year when Ajai quit his job at DCM Data Products and jumped into the uncharted waters of entrepreneurship, founding HCL with Shiv Nadar, Arjun Malhotra, Yogesh Vaidya, Subhash Arora and D.S. Puri. In the 1970s, leaving a stable job with one of India's leading brands was nothing short of crazy. To add to that, not many Indians knew what a computer was. The word 'start-up' was decades away from its use in common parlance. 
Over the next four decades, HCL would go on to become one of the largest IT companies in India and a household brand. In Just Aspire, Ajai not only shares the story of a successful business behemoth but also of dreams, aspirations, hope and achievements from the eyes of a small-town boy. Along this journey, he shares timeless lessons on entrepreneurship, technology and the future. For all dreamers and doers, this book is a treasure trove of inspiration.
