Description: There are companies that create waves and those that ride or are drowned by them. This is a ride on the Google wave, and the fullest

account of how it formed and crashed into traditional media businesses. With unprecedented access to Google's founders and executives, as well as to

those in media who are struggling to keep their heads above water, Ken Auletta reveals how the industry is being disrupted and redefined. Auletta goes

inside Google's closed-door meetings, introducing Google's notoriously private founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as those who work with -

and against - them. In "Googled", the reader discovers the 'secret sauce' of the company's success and why the worlds of 'new' and 'old' media often

communicate as if residents of different planets. It may send chills down traditionalists' spines, but it's a crucial roadmap to the future of media

business: the Google story may well be the canary in the coal mine. "Googled" is candid, objective and authoritative.

Crucially, it's not just a history or reportage: it's ahead of the curve and unlike any other Google books, which tend to have been near-histories,

somewhat starstruck, now out of date or which fail to look at the full synthesis of business and technology. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Piper McCloud can fly. Just like that. Easy as pie. Problem is, the good folk of Lowland County are afraid of Piper. And her ma's at her

wits' end. So it seems only fitting that she leave her parents' farm to attend a top-secret, maximum-security school for kids with exceptional abilities,

whose skills range from super-strength to super-genius. But Piper is special, even among the special. And there are consequences. Consequences too

dire to talk about. Too crazy to consider. And too dangerous to ignore. By turns exhilarating and terrifying, an unforgettable story of defiance and

courage starring an irrepressible heroine who can, who will, who must ...fly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Shyamji has music in his blood, for his father was the acclaimed 'heavenly singer' and guru, Ram Lal. But Shyam Lal is not his father,

and knows he never will be. Mallika Sengupta's voice could have made her famous, but being the wife of a successful businessman is a full-time

occupation in itself. Mallika's son, Nirmalya, believes in suffering for his art, and for him, all compromise is failure: those with talent should be true to

that talent. No matter what. Written in haunting, melodic prose, "The Immortals" tells the story of Shyam, Mallika and Nirmalya: their relationships, their

lives, their music. 'As seductive as a delicate, half-heard tune' - "Daily Mail". 'A memorable work - capacious, multi-faceted and intimate, it is Indian to
