Born just one year before the United Nations itself, Ban Ki-moon came of age with the world body. His earliest memories are haunted by the sound of bombs dropping on his Korean village. The six-year-old boy fled with his family, trudging for miles until the United Nations rescued them. Young Ban grew up determined to repay this lifesaving generosity. Resolved is his personal account of his decade at the helm of the organization during a period of historic turmoil and promise. Meeting challenges with a belief in the UN's mission of peace, development and human rights, he steered the world body through a volatile period. He offers a candid assessment of the people and events that shape our era and a bracing analysis of what lies ahead.

The Japanese word, Ikigai means 'reason for being'. Think of what you love, what you are good at, what you can be paid for, and what the world needs. When these come together, you get your Ikigai. However, Ikigai can be beyond these four components and doesn't have to include any or all of them. The moments each day where you live fully — engaging in a hobby or pursuit, learning, connecting with people, being useful, choosing empathy over apathy, and being in the present — and the small joys that inhabit those moments make your Ikigai. You can have more than one Ikigai and it can change with time. You already have your Ikigai and just need to discover it!The book unveils the life journeys of 25 teens that left India for the uncharted waters of Singapore in the 1990s and early 2000s. Each story started with engineering and took the person to one's calling — dance, filmmaking, entrepreneurship, mountaineering, philanthropy, research, and even monkhood. Did they find their Ikigai? Uncover the pages to find out!

This book questions the postmodern credo that the autonomy of reason and action is a delusion, concealing our entrapment in historical convention and masking a logocentric domination. The author shows how this dogma not only assails a false vision of self-determination, but also how it ignores the way in which a critique of rational autonomy can provide no epistemology or ethics, nor any critique of modernity, without embracing the very independence of thought and conduct that it spurns. Freedom and Modernity offers a positive alternative revealing how self-determination is the very substance of legitimacy for both knowledge and conduct.

In 2015, a modern day Philosopher's stone is discovered by German scientists, during a time of economic crisis. The stone has shown to possess great power and can change the world for the better. But that's not the case: for this stone has the potential to destroy all of mankind and free Satan from his seal. Now, it's up to six unlikely heroes (Rohan, James, Reina, Tonya, Ariela, and Navin), using their elemental powers, as well as an interesting watch, called the Angel brace, to battle the many demons in Hell and to stop Satan from ruling our world.
