Previous	Quick review March 3, 2012 NON-FICTION The Blogging Revolution By Antony Loewenstein Jaico Books, 294 pages Best Price: Rs 277 (21% off) at shopping. indiatimes. com Journalist Antony Loewenstein travelled to Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, China, Syria and Cuba to meet bloggers and other Internet activists to find out what makes dissidents tick. Subsequently, Twitter and Facebook have become all the rage but the experiences remain the same. Paranoid governments and weakkneed service providers connive to restrict the use of Internet but the activists continue to out-flank them. The book warns against the tendency to see too much in cyber activism. The history of dissent - as in the Arab Spring - has more complex reasons than made out. Quick review March 3, 2012 FICTION Grandeur of the Lion By Carl Muller Penguin, 156 pages Best Price: Rs 173 (13% off) at shopping. indiatimes. com Pianist and journalist Carl Muller shot to fame with his delightful novels about the Burghers of Sri Lanka. His ambitious new series, tracing the tumultuous history of the emerald island may not have the same universal appeal, but it is winning critical acclaim. Grandeur of the Lion - the third book in the series - tells the story of the glorious reign of Duttha Gamini who developed Anuradhapura into a great Buddhist centre. Muller skillfully recalls another age during which the Gods wandered among mortals, and miracles took place as a matter of course. Quick review March 3, 2012 CLASSICS Arthashastra: The Science of Wealth By Thomas R Trautmann Allen Lane, 180 pages Best Price: Rs 296 (26% off) at shopping. indiatimes. com The Arthashastra is commonly regarded as the first treatise on economics in India. Dating back 2, 000 years to the Mauryan era, Kautilya is believed to be its author. In this book - part of a multi-volume series on Indian business - Thomas Trautmann introduces the economic philosophy of the Arthashastra, which literally translates to the 'Science of Wealth'. Trautmann gives us a lucid introduction to this seminal text, which most of us won't ever read in the original. As the author explains, the treatise is not just about wealth but also on the business of running a state. Quick review March 3, 2012 BUSINESS I, Steve Edited by George Beahm Collins Business, 168 pages Best Price: Rs 504 (15% off) at shopping. indiatimes. com There's no denying that part of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' success as a legendary innovator was his ability to communicate his vision in a powerful manner.

Compiling some of Jobs' most insightful quotations, I, Steve provides a fascinating window into the mind of a man who has been dubbed as one of the most brilliant entrepreneurs of our time. Thought provoking and inspirational, this is Steve Jobs in his own words.	Next
