સરદાર, સિર્ફ નામ હી કાફી હૈ..... સરદાર વલ્લભભાઈ પટેલનું નામ અને કામ ગુજરાત માટે અજાણ્યું નથી, અને ભારત રાષ્ટ્ર તો આજીવન એમનું ઋણી છે. એમણે રજવાડાનું એકીકરણ કરવાનો ભગીરથ પડકાર ઉપાડ્યો. એમણે દેશને એક સંવિધાન મળે એ માટે પ્રયોસો શરૂ કર્યા અને વહીવટીતંત્રની કરોડરજ્જૂ જેવી સ્વદેશી સિવિલ સર્વિસ બનાવી. આશિષ્ઠ, દ્રઢિષ્ઠ, બલિષ્ઠ ના યુવા લક્ષણો સરદારસાહેબમાં હતા. Hopefull, Firm, Strong ત્વરિત નિર્ણયશક્તિ અને કડવો પણ ગુણકારી લીમડાં જેવો સ્પષ્ટ વાસ્તવવાદ. સરદારસાહેબ તો ગયા, પણ આપણે નવા સરદાર પેદા કેવી રીતે કરીશું ? કેમ ઘડાય સરદાર જેવું અસરદાર અને જોરદાર વ્યક્તિત્વ ?

The modern American economy was the creation of four men: Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, and J. P. Morgan.

Morris vividly brings these men and their times to life. The Tycoons tells the incredible story of how these four determined men wrenched the economy into the modern age, inventing a nation of full economic participation that could not have been imagined earlier.

Here is the remarkable story of how medieval Arab scholars made dazzling advances in science and philosophy, and of the itinerant Europeans who brought this knowledge back to the West.

The American 345th Bomb Group - the Air Apaches - was legendary in the war against Japan. The first fully trained and fully equipped group sent to the South Pacific, the 345th racked up a devastating score against the enemy. Armed to the teeth with machine guns and fragmentation bombs, and flying their B-25s at impossibly low altitudes - often below 50 feet - the pilots and air crews strafed and bombed enemy installations and shipping with a fury that helped cripple Japan.

Here is the epic history of the "iron men in wooden boats" who built an industrial empire through the pursuit of whales. This absorbing history demonstrates that few things can capture the sheer danger and desperation of men on the deep sea as dramatically as whaling. This sweeping social and economic history provides rich and often fantastic accounts of the men themselves, who mutinied, murdered, rioted, deserted, drank, scrimshawed, and recorded their experiences in journals and memoirs.

Vivid descriptions of drug experiences sparked insights across the mind sciences, pharmacology, medicine, and philosophy. But after 1900 drugs were increasingly viewed as a social problem, and the long tradition of self-experimentation began to disappear. Mike Jay brilliantly recovers a lost intellectual tradition of drug-taking that fed the birth of psychology, the discovery of the unconscious, and the emergence of modernism.
