“@InfiaThatisBhar @MrAd1tya Best book I’ve read is Mihir Sharma’s “RESTART”” (from X)
by Mihir S. Sharma·You?
by Mihir S. Sharma·You?
Farms, not factories. When industry is the path to prosperity. Ancient, archaic laws When the majority of Indians are less than 25 years old. Armies of unemployed. When companies are hunting for skilled workers. Half-built highways. When its people dream of speed. Indias problems can seem overwhelming. But solutions exist. In Restart, Mihir S. Sharma shows what can and must change in Indias policies, its administration and even its attitudes. The answers he provides are not obvious. Nor are they all comforting or conventional. Yet they could, in less time than you can imagine, unleash the creativity of a billion hopeful Indians.

“Also the best book written ever in the Roman Empire. Gibbon was a visionary https://t.co/jRkfyDt7dM” (from X)
by Edward Gibbon, Hugh Trevor-Roper·You?
by Edward Gibbon, Hugh Trevor-Roper·You?
Edward Gibbon’s classic timeless work of ancient Roman history in 6 volumes collected into 2 box sets, in beautiful, enduring hardcover editions with elegant cloth sewn bindings, gold stamped covers, and silk ribbon markers. Easily the most famous historical chronicle in English, Gibbon’s account of Roman decline remains a remarkably fresh and vital contribution to the subject more than two centuries after its first publication. A landmark in its time for classical and historiographical scholarship, its fame today, however, rests more on the scope and force of Gibbon’s argument and the brilliance of his style, which is still an utter delight to read. But above all, the book is a superb monument to the Enlightenment ideal of rational enquiry which Gibbon made the object of his life’s work. With an introduction by renowned scholar Hugh Trevor-Roper. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, and European-style half-round spines. Everyman’s Library Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.

“Travel well Terry! The man was an amazing intellectual ... his book “Barbarians” was my first introduction to spin-busting history. If you haven’t read it, you should https://t.co/Y1zPpXUVCP” (from X)

Terry Jones’ Barbarians takes a completely fresh approach to Roman history. This is the story of the Roman Empire as seen by the Britons, Gauls, Germans, Hellenes, Persians, and Africans. In place of the propaganda pushed on us by the Romans, we’ll see these people as they really were. The Vandals didn’t vandalize—the Romans did. The Goths didn’t sack Rome—the Romans did. Traversing the landscape of the Roman Empire, Terry Jones brings wit, irreverence, and the very latest scholarship to transform a history that seemed well past its sell-date.
