Queens of Georgian Britain by Catherine Curzon
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 55.9 MB
Overview: Once upon a time there were four kings called George who, thanks to a quirk of fate, ruled Great Britain for over a century. Hailing from Germany, these occasionally mad, bad and infamous sovereigns presided over a land in turmoil. Yet what of the remarkable women who were crowned alongside them?

From the forgotten princess locked in a tower to an illustrious regent, a devoted consort and a notorious party girl, the queens of Georgian Britain lived lives of scandal, romance and turbulent drama. Whether dipping into politics or carousing on the shores of Italy, Caroline of Ansbach, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Caroline of Brunswick refused to fade into the background.

Queens of Georgian Britain offers a chance to step back in time and meet the women who ruled alongside the Georgian monarchs, not forgetting Sophia Dorothea of Celle, the passionate princess who never made it as far as the throne. From lonely childhoods to glittering palaces, via family feuds, smallpox, strapping soldiers and plenty of scheming, these are the queens who shaped an era.

Looking Like the Enemy: My Story of Imprisonment in Japanese American Internment Camps by Mary Matsuda Gruenewald
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.9 MB
Overview: The author at 16 years old was evacuated with her family to an internment camp for Japanese Americans, along with 110,000 other people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast. She faced an indefinite sentence behind barbed wire in crowded, primitive camps. She struggled for survival and dignity, and endured psychological scarring that has lasted a lifetime.

This memoir is told from the heart and mind of a woman now nearly 80 years old who experienced the challenges and wounds of her internment at a crucial point in her development as a young adult. She brings passion and spirit to her story. Like “The Diary of Anne Frank,” this memoir superbly captures the emotional and psychological essence of what it was like to grow up in the midst of this profound dislocation and injustice in the U.S. Few other books on this subject come close to the emotional power and moral significance of this memoir.

Roy Thomson of Fleet Street and How He Got There by Russell Braddon
Requirements: .PDF reader, 25.0 MB
Overview: At a famous dinner party, Lord Beaverbrook paid his host, Lord Thomson, the greatest compliment he is likely to receive. He urged him to give up his £ioom news empire and take to anything else, so long as he ceased, in Fleet Street, to “trouble our little group of newspaper proprietors”. Yet only fifteen years earlier, when Beaverbrook had been asked about his compatriot, this same Thomson, he had replied, “He’s a lit

Mythbreaker: Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw and the Story of Indian Biotech by Seema Singh
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 409 KB
Overview: ‘Kiran takes chances. Most people in larger companies don’t like making deals because, if they go wrong, they lose their career; if they go right, their superior takes the credit. You have to live in an environment where, to make a deal successful, you have to make everyone successful or [make] everyone own the failure; you have to know what the risks are and what the [chances of] success will be. In Kiran’s case, she likes to make everyone around her feel successful.’

Jeremy Levin, former CEO of Teva and current chairman and CEO of Ovid Therapeutics

At the age of twenty-five, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw partnered with an Irish entrepreneur, Leslie Auchincloss, to start Biocon India in a garage in Bengaluru. Armed with just a degree in beer making, this move to industrial enzymes and commodity small molecules was as audacious as it was far-sighted. Thirty-seven years on, Biocon is India’s largest research-driven biotech enterprise. And the accidental entrepreneur, Mazumdar-Shaw, is today a tough negotiator and a habitual dealmaker, casually breaking several myths about Indian women in business. Without a supportive academic ecosystem for biotechnology and in the absence of sound policymaking, Mazumdar-Shaw has tirelessly sought out global alliances and resources in her quest for ideas and molecules. To some extent, she has also plugged the brain drain of Indian scientists, making them collaborators in the fight against diabetes and cancer, and creating a space for research in India. In Mythbreaker, author Seema Singh brings alive Mazumdar-Shaw’s three-decade journey through a motley cast of characters — scientists, ministries, pharma rivals, FMCG giants — who came together to produce a narrative that is remarkable for its randomness, luck and relentless pursuit of the next scientific breakthrough.
