The manuscript is a first-hand account of the expression of the author as a member of the 8th wintering team of India to the coldest, driest windiest and frozen continent “ANTARCTICA”. It is the 5th largest continent, nearly twice the size of Australia and the least populated continent with an average ice thickness of 1.9 kilometres. The book indicates the selection and training of the team members to execute various engineering tasks on their own to ensure the survival of the entire team. It describes in more or less chronological order the journey of the author throughout the expedition and deals with the challenges and hazards of the harsh winter and how tasks were executed in the hostile environment. This is a must-read for all those who love adventure and its aim is also to motivate others to embark on such similar adventurous journeys.´
'Making money is a knack, a knack that can be acquired. And if someone like me can become rich, then so can you - no matter what your present circumstances. Here is how I did it and what I learned along the way.' So writes Felix Dennis, who believes that almost anyone of reasonable intelligence can become rich, given sufficient motivation and application. How To Get Rich is a distillation of his business wisdom. Primarily concerned with the step-by-step creation of wealth, it ruthlessly dissects the business failures and financial triumphs of 'a South London lad who became rich virtually by accident'. Part manual, part memoir, part primer, this book is a template for those who are willing to stare down failure and transform their lives. Canny, infuriating, cynical and generous by turns, How To Get Rich is an invaluable guide to 'the surprisingly simple art of collecting money which already has your name on it'.

A vengeful god’s curse took everything from the Egyptian pharaoh Seti: his name, his position, and even his lover. After many long centuries relegated to a musty sarcophagus, he’s awakened when a graduate student working in the museum where he is stored stumbles upon him. Logan, working as a curator to fund his education, figures he’s screwed when he accidentally awakens the ancient ruler. It’ll be career suicide to claim the mummy came back to life, but it’s either that or be labeled a thief. Little does he know, those are the least of his problems. A society of archaeologists is hot on their trail, determined to uncover the secret of Seti’s immortality, and then there’s the little matter of an angry god who doesn’t appreciate Logan meddling in his work. But the biggest problem might be Seti himself, who’ll stop at nothing to get into Logan’s pants—and his heart.
