Finding A Purpose In Life
There is a pilgrim soul in all of us, an inner searching that continues throughout our lives For lack of a purpose, millions in despair seek refuge in unbridled consumerism, drugs, alcohol, crime or antisocial behaviour. From times immemorial, man has striven to know his place in this bewildering world, find a direction and pursue a purpose higher than his own advancement. In this book, R.M. Lala addresses these issues through the medium of great lives like Abraham Lincoln, Albert Schweitzer, Emperor Asoka, Vinoba Bhave, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Narayana and Sudha Murthy and others. He highlights the difference between ambition and purpose, career and purpose, and indicates how understanding this lies at the core of understanding oneself. This inspirational and motivational work shows how each of us can find a purpose satisfying to ourselves and meaningful to others.
Mindfulness
Whether we like it or not, a large part of our thinking is wasteful -- be it guilt, fear, anxiety or stress. This drains our energy and hinders our decision-making. Mindfulness is an eye-opening take on how to reclaim your time and stay in the moment, illustrated with metaphors derived from cinema, theatre, magic and other stories. Through the book, we learn to recognize and cut down on thoughts that are unproductive. We also learn to investigate the process of self-deception -- becoming more self-aware in the process. Not reheated fixes for our existential woes, this book serves as a guide for intelligent readers and urban professionals to focus and practise mindfulness. And through it, we stand to develop skills on time management that lead to personal growth, necessary for an optimal life experience.
No Regrets

With sparkling advice from Naina Lal Kidwai, Arianna Huffington, Sudha Murty, Smriti Irani, Twinkle Khanna and Sania Mirza, among others, No Regrets is the go-to book as we fumble and stumble through life.

Library of Benjamin Franklin
Beginning in the 1950s, Edwin Wolf 2nd embarked on a biblio'l. quest to reconstruct the library of Benjamin Franklin, which was the largest & best private library in Amer. at the time of his death & was subsequently dispersed. The contents of Franklin's library were virtually unknown until Wolf identified the unique shelfmarks that Franklin used to organize his books.

After wolf's death, Kevin Hayes took up the project & brought it to fruition. This catalogue includes almost 4,000 books known to have been owned by Franklin, & the Intro. tells the complete story of Franklin's library, its dispersal, & its reconstruction.

In many European countries, librarians and researchers are working to compile a detailed bibliographic overview of early modern books printed within a defined time frame and within territorial and linguistical boundaries: they are creating modern retrospective 'national' bibliographies. The contributions from 14 countries in this publication illustrate this rich and diverse activity and demonstrate the various approaches in the digital age. Their approaches are anchored in the past, as each 'national' bibliography defines its scope within a careful analysis of the history of the country or nation, and rely on present-day cataloging, study of book history and new possibilities in the digital environment. The Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL) strongly supports data aggregation (as reflected in the data network it maintains) and data linking. Improved interoperability today supports opening of data and making it available beyond silos and databases. This is therefore a good time to provide an overview of the European data landscape for retrospective 'national' bibliographies, as these contain valuable and sustainable data with an impact on the semantic universe. They are closely related to research, are quality-controlled, provide reliable data and are rich in content. Their interaction with other library data, e.g. through authority control or thesauri, but also through copy-specific information, has the potential to considerably expand the role of retrospective bibliographies in the research areas. This will be a challenge for their ongoing development and sustainability and explains the title of this book Never Finish(ed) !
