Title: Lewis Hamilton: New Kid on the Grid
Author: Ian Stafford
Price: RM40.00 (Hard Cover)
Quantity in Stock: 1


Overview:
Lewis Hamilton: New Kid on the Grid is the definitive record of Hamilton's rapid elevation to almost the very top of motor racing in just nine months. A rookie from Hertfordshire, Hamilton was presented with a golden opportunity by McLaren to drive one of the best cars on the grid for the 2007 season. Surpassing all expectations, he quickly went on to record a podium in his first ever Grand Prix, notched up four, back-to-back second places and then won his first Grand Prix in Canada. After only six races, he was leading the world drivers' championship. At this point, the season took on a life of its own. The whole summer was dominated by a struggle for supremacy between Hamilton and his defending world champion teammate Fernando Alonso, who had not signed up to McLaren to be usurped by a rookie. Add to this the serious accusations of spying between Ferrari and McLaren and the 2007 Formula One season soon became one of the most dramatic in living memory. In the end it all came down to the wire, at the last race of the season in Brazil. The outcome, like the season, had an amazing twist to it, but Hamilton's golden future was secured. Lewis Hamilton: New Kid on the Grid relives all the drama of an unbelievable season and celebrates the arrival of the first British Formula One hero since Nigel Mansell. Beautifully illustrated, it pays tribute to the outstanding achievements of an amazing new sporting superstar.

In the Name of Honor - Mukhtar Mai









Title: In the Name of Honor
Author: Mukhtar Mai
Price: RM50.00 (Hard Cover)
Quantity in Stock: 10

Overview:
In June 2002, Mukhtar Mai, a Pakistani woman from the impoverished
village of Meerwala, was gang raped by a local clan known as the Mastoi - punishment for indiscretions allegedly committed by the woman's brother. While certainly not the first account of a female body being negotiated for honor in a family, this time the survivor had bravely chosen to fight back. In doing so, Mai single-handedly changed the feminist movement in Pakistan, one of the world's most adverse climates for women. By July 2002, the Pakistani government awarded her the equivalent of 8,500 U.S. dollars in compensation money and sentenced her attackers to death - and Mukhtar Mai went on to open a school for girls so that future generations would not suffer, as she had, from illiteracy. In this rousing account, Mai describes her experience and how she has since become an agent for change and a beacon of hope for oppressed women around the world. Timely and topical, In the Name of Honor is the remarkable and inspirational memoir of a woman who fought and triumphed against exceptional odds.

Babyhood - Paul Reiser









Title: Babyhood
Author: Paul Reiser
Price: RM35.00
Quantity in Stock: 2

Overview:
I'm going to be totally honest. This is not the kind of book that can help you. It's not a "how-to," "when-to," a "what-to-expect" book. It's not even endorsed by anyone remotely connected to the medical profession. (Although a cousin of mine who sells carpeting to doctors' offices not only found it "insightful" and "informative," but felt that, "if properly vacuumed, it should last a lifetime.")

"A fine endorsement," you say. "But if I have only one book to buy, shouldn't I go for the helpful one?"

Let's compare:
Those "know-it-all" books tell you how to have a happy, healthy pregnancy.
My book mentions a squirrel.
Those books tell you how to care for a newborn child.
My book describes how tired I am.
Those books give you essential information you can use in a life-threatening emergency.
My book has some very amusing anecdotes about poop.

So really, it's up to you. If you want to be prepared and well-informed, I understand. But if you enjoy seeing the words "pterodactyl" and "uterus" in the same book, you've come to the right place.

Author: Ruth Francisco
Price: RM35.00 (Hard Cover)
Quantity in Stock: 9



Overview:
Who was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis? She was a wife, mother, artist, editor, and world traveler. A bright young woman who rose to unparalleled celebrity. One of the world's most inspiring and influential women of her day, she has become arguably the most important female icon of all time. Yet she also was a woman of passion and deep emotions, who wanted to experience all that life had to give. How did she feel about it all? She never told. Jackie said quite famously, "I want to live my life, not record it." Jackie remains elusive, her interior life hidden, her soul masked behind sunglasses and an enigmatic smile. For the first time, these fictional memoirs tell Jackie's story in Jackie's voice - with all her joy and wit, grief and bitterness, gentleness and fortitude. Ruth Francisco boldly plunges into the subtext of Jackie's public life, psychology, and sexuality, beyond her dazzling mythic exterior, re-imagining Jackie's feelings and thoughts between the lines of recorded history. In this riveting epic tale, we follow Jackie's journey from her privileged yet wrenching youth, through the exaltation and suffering of her marriage to John F. Kennedy, to the shattering despair of her losses, exile, and loneliness. As she learns to forgive her jealous rival, Maria Callas, and her abusive second husband, Aristotle Onassis, Jackie begins to find redemption, ultimately discovering peace through her children and her work.

Diana, Princess of Wales was the world's most photographed woman during the 1980s and 90s. Her every outfit was scrutinized, criticized, admired and endlessly copied, her every fashion choice proved enormously influential. But it was only towards the end of her life that she found her own true style and the panache and confidence to flaunt it. The shy, aristocratic nanny made some notorious early fashion faux pas. But with expert guidance from Vogue and using her own sure instincts, she developed into a demure style icon who understood the subtle power of dress. Gathering together a stable of trusted designers and photographers - Catherine Walker, Gianni Versace, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik and Mario Testino - Diana learned to use her appearance to communicate with the public, and she succeeded in winning them over utterly. Eminent fashion authority Colin McDowell has written an engaging and sometimes moving celebration of Diana's fashion journey, drawing on exclusive interviews with her designers, advisers and confidantes. Exquisitely designed and lavishly illustrated throughout with rare and striking images, Diana Style is an intimate, evocative portrait of one of the most admired women of our times.
