New Delhi: This week's booty on the bookshelf is serious and informative. If there is a book on the cars of kings, then there is another that walks the reader through the Indian business mind... Read on.
1. Book: "The Whistleblowers: Of Doing What is Right"; Written by Sitaraman; Published by Cinnamonteal Publishing; Priced at 
475
A sinister builder with a devious but foolproof plan to hoodwink a finance company, a businessman blinded by his yen to grow business volume and reach the CEO's post, two risk managers taking on an insidious mandate, an attractive journalist embarking on a daredevil adventure and a CEO walking tightrope... They all are locked in a race against time. The book puts the readers on a thrilling journey replete with interesting nuances of real estate and housing finance.
2. Book: "Inside the Indian Business Mind"; Written by Katherine C. Zubko and Raj R. Sahay; Published by Jaico Publishing House; Priced at 250
This unique guide will help Western business people enter the Indian market, make the best use of manufacturing facilities and create and develop a successful long-term business relationship with Indian business partners and teams.
3. Book: "The Maharajas and Their Magnificent Motor Cars"; Written by Gautam Sen; Published by Haynes Publishing; Priced at $40 (1,779)
From a swan-necked car that "caused elephants and natives to flee in every direction", to a Rolls-Royce converted to transport a king's personal cricket team, this new book provides a fascinating insight into a changing society through the history of the maharajas' cars.
This is an engaging account of 70 of the few hundred surviving cars that belonged to erstwhile maharajas and the stories of the extraordinary people associated with them. The writer has done extensive research and been afforded unique access into some of the most splendid car collections in India to create this authoritative and visually impressive study.
4. Book: "Everything You Wanted to Know About Stock Market Investing"; Compiled and Published by CNBC 18/Network 18 Publication Ltd; Priced at 399
The last two years have been a roller coaster of sorts for the Indian stock markets. The key market indices like the Sensex and the Nifty have seen it all - largest gains, largest falls, circuit breakers, bounce backs et al. And with that, personal fortunes have also been through similar swings. Some people made money while many others burnt their fingers in the stock market. And those who watched from the sidelines are still wondering if they were fortunate or unfortunate.
This book is for all kinds of people - those who made money will learn about how to maintain it, those who watched will learn why now is the best time for action.
5. Book: "Business and Polity: Dynamics of Changing Relationship"; Written by D.N. Ghosh; Published by Sage India; Priced at 795
The book explores through a variety of economic and political formations over the past two-and-a-half millennia, right from the Greco-Roman civilisation to the present day globalized world, the behaviour of two power networks: those who control the levers of political power and those who engage themselves in wealth-generating activities. It traces the dynamics of interdependence between these two powerful networks and what happens when one or the other becomes more powerful.
The author tries to find out the link our modern state of affairs has with the experience of past civilizations - knowledge that can potentially enhance our ability to make informed decisions to shape the global future.
