Choosing Best Books is not an easier task as we
browse through so many best selling books and get to
review the same after reading some of them. However,
decisions have to be made and so, to present MJ Best
Books List, here goes our notable picks:
Jaswant's Jinnah: Dividing India to save it
Review by M J Akbar
Jaswant Singh’s Jinnah has certainly
provoked much ado about something, but what is that something? Would
this biography have made news if the author had not been a senior
leader of the BJP? The world of books requires some chintan, but
fortunately no chintan baithak. Who or what, then, is the story:
Jinnah or the BJP? The two are not entirely unrelated, for the BJP was
formed as a direct consequence of the creation of Pakistan. The
umbilical cord still sends spasms up its central nerve.
Two questions frame the Jaswant-Jinnah controversy. Was Jinnah
secular? Do Nehru and Patel share the “guilt” for Partition?
Essential Managers :
Project Management
By Andy Bruce
Review by ilaxi
This Book is a great 'Guiding Light' - I mention this because
Project Management is a wide topic. Any good business needs to
begin with a plan to blueprint for operating and building
company eg. Establishing, Budget, Targeting market, Competition
etc. This book provides check lists with diagrams, graphs and
examples that focus on SWOT (Strength, weakness, Opportunities
and Threat) analysis of business. There's expert advice on team
work, communication and developing Leadership and the authors'
co-experience brings to limelight the basics of understanding
the Project with topics like:
Quickie tips and perfect gem picks, this book from Defining
leads to non stop information through monitoring and tracking
progress tips, overcoming probs, dealing with change and
summarizing assessment on management skills too. Dorling
Kindersley's reference books has been a classy pick and gem on
book shelf, this book also stands a 'Sure Pick' for lovers of
Management field.
