Download or read book Ready To Fire written by Nambi Narayanan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A top scientist is falsely accused of selling space technology secrets. A police inspector's misadventure with a Maldivian woman results in a fabricated espionage case. A faction within a political party capitalises on the case to bring down a government. An intelligence agency obligingly plays into the hands of vested interests to slow down India's space programme. And a complex investigation finally proves the allegations untrue. In this riveting book, Isro scientist S Nambi Narayanan - who was falsely accused of espionage in ISRO spy case of the 1990s - and senior journalist Arun Ram meticulously unpick the ISRO spy case, revisit old material and discover new details to expose the international plot that delayed India's development of a cryogenic engine by at least a decade. It took four years for the CBI to exonerate Nambi, but his fight for justice to ensure action against the officers who faked the case and tortured him in custody continues. This book is as much a history of the early days of India's ambitious space programme as it is a record of one of the most sensational cases that enthralled the nation long before the era of online updates and 24-hour news cycles.

Download or read book Ready Fire Aim The Mainfreight Story written by Keith Davies and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lively, insider story of the rise and rise of New Zealand's most successful logistics company. This is the story of a company built on the belief that with passion anything is possible. As they say at Mainfreight, 'Go anywhere as long as it is forward'. Mainfreight was founded in 1977 by the visionary Bruce Plested, who set out to make the company a family, a team, where everyone has a share in the riches and where the word 'management' is banned. The Mainfreight instruction manual is short: Feel the fear but do it anyway. This is a world where budgets are deemed ‘bullshit’. Why spend time preparing figures that are invariably out of date before the ink is dry? Just make more than last year. It's also a world based on generosity: Mainfreight is the backing force behind Books in Homes, and offers tertiary scholarships to the children of all its employees. Did the rise to NZX sharemarket darling all go smoothly? Not for a minute. Initially there would be catastrophic ventures in Australia and America and finally a jaw-dropping moment in Europe when Don Braid and his team made their biggest purchase ever only to see most of the turnover and half the profit walk out the door. This book takes you on a warts-and-all exploration of Mainfreight's journey from small transport company at the bottom of the world to truly successful global logistics company.

Download or read book Catching Fire written by Richard Wrangham and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2010-08-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stunningly original book, Richard Wrangham argues that it was cooking that caused the extraordinary transformation of our ancestors from apelike beings to Homo erectus. At the heart of Catching Fire lies an explosive new idea: the habit of eating cooked rather than raw food permitted the digestive tract to shrink and the human brain to grow, helped structure human society, and created the male-female division of labour. As our ancestors adapted to using fire, humans emerged as "the cooking apes". Covering everything from food-labelling and overweight pets to raw-food faddists, Catching Fire offers a startlingly original argument about how we came to be the social, intelligent, and sexual species we are today. "This notion is surprising, fresh and, in the hands of Richard Wrangham, utterly persuasive ... Big, new ideas do not come along often in evolution these days, but this is one." -Matt Ridley, author of Genome

Book excerpt: What are you searching for in life? Is there a void that you are desperately attempting to fill? Are you wondering what might be next? The job, relationship, salary, title, status, and so much more have been the focal point of so many explorations. These things are sought after in hopes of bringing ultimate and sustaining joy. However, they never do. Ready, Fire, Aim is about one person’s journey to find sustainable joy by walking back into the one place he swore he would never return to. Through author Philip Floor’s stories and the lessons he learned, you too can discover a way to fill the void that will never run empty again. Philip shows how there can be true and sustainable joy found in simply walking back into the local church and saying yes. If you want to make this life worth it—and if what you have been doing isn’t working—open this book. If you are skeptical, remember these words. Expecting things to change, without being willing to change, will result in no change—because nothing changed. It’s time to make a change. Philip’s challenge to you is simple: return to the one place you don’t want to go back to, say yes, and ask questions later. Ready, fire, aim.

Book excerpt: The roots of Skinhead culture goes back to a time when black and white youth united under the banner of music and community as immigrants from Jamaica arrived on the shores of England in the late 1960s. England's "mod" meets Jamaica's "rude boy" - the result is the "skinhead." A decade later, portions of that world became co-opted by the far right wing, in an effort to polarize the vote toward a fascist and intolerant British state. Often underpaid or unemployed youths became an easy target for propaganda and the promise of violence. This was the birth of the Neo-Nazi Skinhead. But the true Skinhead movement continued to endure through the multicultural spirit of its origin. Refusing to die, it found new residence worldwide. And the war of the Skinheads began.George Dachs is growing up in Milwaukee, WI in the early 90's. The only son of a single mother struggling with depression, his living conditions have exposed him to the adult world at a very early age.

As he races towards his mid-teens, his search for some semblance of familial structure in his life is threatened by his own confused, violent tendencies.George finds solace and acceptance in the local chapter of the non-racist Skinhead crew. The Brew City Skinheads are determined to take down the various white power and Neo-Nazi movements throughout the Midwest. This is a crusade that will come to change George's life forever. He quickly rises through the ranks, bringing together elements of the Black and Jewish communities of the city, and staging violent and criminal attacks on various racist groups. As he struggles to maintain a moral foundation, he confronts race, religion, sexuality, violence, drugs, addiction and friendship in the most visceral and explosive ways.The debut novel by Kevin Triggs, Ready, Fire, Aim gives readers a look into one of America's truly yet undiscovered battlegrounds. Told with raw honesty, fragility and humor, this book will shake you to the core.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Critics Circle Award Winner: “The terrifying story of the worst disaster in the history of the US Forest Service’s elite Smokejumpers.” —Kirkus Reviews A devastating and lyrical work of nonfiction, Young Men and Fire describes the events of August 5, 1949, when a crew of fifteen of the US Forest Service’s elite airborne firefighters, the Smokejumpers, stepped into the sky above a remote forest fire in the Montana wilderness. Two hours after their jump, all but three of the men were dead or mortally burned. Haunted by these deaths for forty years, Norman Maclean puts together the scattered pieces of the Mann Gulch tragedy in this extraordinary book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2021 Foreword INDIES Finalist A girl of the desert and a jinni born long ago by the sea, both enslaved to the Salt King—but with this capricious magic, only one can be set free. As a daughter of the Salt King, Emel ought to be among the most powerful women in the desert. Instead, she and her sisters have less freedom than even her father's slaves ... for the Salt King uses his own daughters to seduce visiting noblemen into becoming powerful allies by marriage. Escape from her father’s court seems impossible, and Emel dreams of a life where she can choose her fate. When members of a secret rebellion attack, Emel stumbles upon an alluring escape route: her father’s best-kept secret—a wish-granting jinni, Saalim. But in the land of the Salt King, wishes are never what they seem. Saalim’s magic is volatile. Emel could lose everything with a wish for her freedom as the rebellion intensifies around her. She soon finds herself playing a dangerous game that pits dreams against responsibility and love against the promise of freedom. As she finds herself drawn to the jinni for more than his magic, captivated by both him and the world he shows her outside her desert village, she has to decide if freedom is worth the loss of her family, her home and Saalim, the only man she’s ever loved.
