Courage to Dream' is not just a proud saga of passing the Civil Services Examination, it is a salute to the perseverance that makes man the best creature in the universe. 'Courage to Dream' is that perseverance which gives man the inspiration and courage to take up an insurmountable challenge. 'Courage to Dream' is a reality that has been experienced even before it became a piece of literature; and if someone finds a literary value in penning down such reality, then I shall consider myself blessed. In this book, there is love as well as yearning; there is struggle as well as success; there is shrewdness as well as innocence; there are roses as well as thorns. I could not save myself from getting brushed by the rarest colours of the life. The purpose of writing this book is not to glorify any person. Its purpose is to motivate the youth towards their path of duty with full dedication. If, after reading this book, even a single youth gets inspired to walk towards their dreams amid unfavourable circumstances, then I shall believe that I have succeeded in my purpose.

This long-time best-selling catalog favorite is now available in an easy Three-part Mixed scoring. The gently-stated expression of hope and encouragement remains simple, yet profound: "The more light we give, the more love well know."

The long-awaited second volume of Nelson Mandela’s memoirs, left unfinished at his death and never before available, are here completed and expanded with notes and speeches written by Mandela during his historic presidency, making for a moving sequel to his worldwide bestseller Long Walk to Freedom. “I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.” In 1994, Nelson Mandela became the first president of a democratic South Africa. From the outset, he was committed to serving only a single five-year term. During his presidency, he and his government ensured that all of South Africa’s citizens became equal before the law, and he laid the foundation for turning a country riven by centuries of colonialism and apartheid into a fully functioning democracy. Dare Not Linger is the story of Mandela’s presidential years, drawing heavily on the memoir he began to write as he prepared to leave office, but was unable to finish. Now the acclaimed South African writer Mandla Langa has completed the task, using Mandela’s unfinished draft, detailed notes that Mandela made as events were unfolding, and a wealth of unseen archival material. With a prologue by Mandela’s widow, Graça Machel, the result is a vivid and often inspirational account of Mandela’s presidency and the creation of a new democracy. It tells the story of a country in transition and the challenges Mandela faced as he strove to make his vision for a liberated South Africa a reality.

Harvard psychologist and philosopher William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature explores the nature of religion and, in James' observation, its divorce from science when studied academically. After publication in 1902 it quickly became a canonical text of philosophy and psychology, remaining in print through the entire century. "Scientific theories are organically conditioned just as much as religious emotions are; and if we only knew the facts intimately enough, we should doubtless see 'the liver' determining the dicta of the sturdy atheist as decisively as it does those of the Methodist under conviction anxious about his soul. When it alters in one way the blood that percolates it, we get the Methodist, when in another way, we get the atheist form of mind."
