Book Description
Marco Meyer's wife, Suzanna, has left him for fellow journalist Karl Ngwenya. After Ngwenya's death, Marco, determined to outdo Ngwenya, takes over his investigation into exports of fake drugs from Amsterdam to African countries. From the outset, Marco finds himself hopelessly out of his depth, isolated in east Africa, with no one to trust. Eventually stripped of his dignity and his identity, Marco struggles to maintain his grip on the one hope that sustains him-Suzanna. This exciting and moving story follows the journalist's struggle with love, betrayal, murder, and his own identity. It was written in 1983 under the title Een Welkomen Dood before the advent of the Internet, mobile phone, and post-9/11 tightening of international security. It was produced by the author in English in 2008 under the title Lost Identity. The issue of exports of substandard and counterfeit chemicals and drugs to developing countries remains as current as when the novel was first written.

Book Description
The #1 New York Times bestseller. Over 20 million copies sold! Translated into 60+ languages! Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; ...and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

Book Description
Disha is a timid girl, brought up by her parents as a homely, quiet girl, trained to be seen rather than heard. She marries Giri, a man her parents choose for her. She goes on to be the ideal Indian wife—barely questioning or rebelling, and catering to the needs of her husband and an insecure mother-in-law. Despite her constant inner conflict arising out of introspection, observation, and education, she remains largely silent and unheard in her marriage, as she was during her childhood. Taunted and belittled by them, her individuality slowly disappears, at least to the viewer’s eye. Will she ever emerge out of the shadows? The Lost Identity is a must read for teenagers and parents, reflecting untold and little understood problems of millions of Indian girls through the protagonist, Disha.

Book Description
Michael Pawlowskie is an ex-FBI agent who spent the last fifteen years of his career working for a giant corporation. That corporation, like many others, ended up in bankruptcy. It left behind rich unemployed executives, and destitute former employees. With the bankruptcy, Michael, like many others, lost nearly everything he had. In the weeks and months that followed he suffered greatly from shame and depression. And then one day he decides to fight back. Along the way he encounters help, from beautiful twin sisters. He didn't know it at the time but he would have been much better off without their help. Before he knows it, this ultra straight ex-law enforcement officer, becomes a rich and powerful man; who gets caught up in a web of deceit, extortion, and murder. Makika Walsh and Makiala Johnson are very rich and beautiful twins, with a very sad past. They have different last names, for a very deadly reason. Not long into their relationship with Michael, they had him having to choose between turning them in for murder or give back 750 million to the deceased man's family. To continue to work with them meant he could give the 750 million to his newly formed organization VOCA (Victims of Corporate Abuse), and ultimately the victims he represented. The justice department assigns Eric Hislop to solve their case. In his relentless effort to solve the case he follows the path of a former Police Detective, who had suddenly died. Pretty soon Michael finds himself having to choose which side of the law he is really on. On the one side, he feels he must do the just and right thing. On the other, he needs to continue helping all who have been wronged by crooked Corporate Executives. And of course, he would have to give up his newfound friends, money, and power. It would be a very difficult choice for any man. For Michael the choice was worse, he had spent his life 'being' the law. Over time he would no longer recognizes the man he once was.
