Top Ten Bestsellers of 2011

There have been more than hundreds of bestsellers in the year 2011 as it was a very good year in the quality of books and their reach to readers all across the world. We have selected ten topmost bestsellers among the whole lot of them.

1. Heaven is for Real By Todd Burpo

Jesus came along with the little Colton to visit our world as soon as he entered heaven in the time of his consciousness. The year started with refueling our faith in God and his wisdom and it was an auspicious start to the New Year.


2. The Help By Kathryn Stockett

It is perhaps the best book of the year and the most recommended one. What do you think? It is a book for all generations who really need to learn that doing discrimination by skin color is the most inhuman thing to commit in one’s life. The book about the truths of life.


3.Room By Emma Donoghue

The entire world designed into one single room by five year old Jack and his mother. It is the most wonderful story of the beautiful mother- son relationship and how love and faith overcome all horrible circumstances around us.


4. A Dance with Dragons By George R.R.Martin

Readers had their best dance ever with this Dance as this fantastic production by George R.R.Martin keeps your toes beating on. The fast- paced action of the book did not let stop its readers for a moment to put it down and take a long breathe. An epic already born in 2011, to be remembered for many years to come.


5. A Stolen Life By Jaycee Dugard

An exploration of the horrific past, the journey of courage and triumph leading to a true feel- good story- this is all about A Stolen Life. Readers cried with the pain, shed tears of joy at the happy ending rendering a sense of hope and faith in our destiny- tried lives.


6.Killing Lincoln By Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard

History of America has gone through hundreds of twists and turns so far but something most shocking happened when President Lincoln was killed in the Ford’s Theatre that changed the fate of America and Americans forever. The shocking history has been revisited in the most accurate way in this book that engages readers between the lines.


7. Steve Jobs By Walter Isaacson

As the end of the year was drawing near another book broke all the records so far and it was the latest biography of Late Steve Jobs. A life full of incidents, perfections and inspirations leading to a world of brilliance.


8.In heritance By Christopher Paolini

There are very rare books published which are remembered as one of the best in the whole decade and Inheritance is something that matches this category. The greatest end ever to an amazing series.


9.11/22/63 By Stephen King

Readers always wait for some more and more and more from their favorite author Stephen King. And Stephen King never let them go with empty hands. Another blast from Stephen King that will stop you speechless this time for sure.


10.A Discovery of Witches By Deborah E. Harkness

The year can’t get over without this one listed among the toppers of the bestsellers. The romance of the year is what we call it.


Wait for 2012 and some more bestsellers that are waiting to hit your shelves very soon. Have fun with best readings.

How Do Books Become Bestsellers ?

The year 2011 is about to end and everyone is busy discussing the top bestsellers of the year. But do we know what is the yardstick to mark a book as a bestseller and moreover the best among the bestsellers? Bestsellers are not always considered to be some best reads among the readers and booklovers. But still they retain their position in the popular bestsellers lists over a long time. So what trick goes beyond making a book bestseller? It comes definitely from effective advertising, promotion and publicity through proper advertising, choosing proper marketing medium and strategy, defining the actual target audience and also Internet marketing through some biggest search engines.

The fame and name of authors and their promotional campaigns and their connection to readers help a lot to upgrade their books in the ongoing bestsellers lists. The publication time also plays an important role in getting popularity of some books as on certain times certain books connect with readers more effectively. So definitely a good combination of talent, luck and timing is essential to help books become bestsellers. Books from first time authors can also become the best among the bestsellers regarding their discussed issues and how far they connect to the real lives of their target audience.

Readers require knowing that none of the bestsellers are preplanned to become so; ultimately the number of buyers and the enormity of reach (the sales figures) of the books make them bestsellers. But creating a bestseller should never become an author’s goal; an author should always aim to produce something classic, something of high quality and taste. Then either it may make to the bestsellers list or not, it still wins the race of success.

Atheism and Popular Atheist Books � About Popular Books

Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Most inclusively, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist. Atheism is contrasted with theism, which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists, and with agnosticism, which leaves the matter of existence open.

Man Behind Microchip Robert Noyce

Hailed as the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford of Silicon Valley, Robert Noyce was a brilliant inventor, a leading entrepreneur, and a daring risk taker who piloted his own jets and skied Mountains accessible only by helicopter. Now, in The Man Behind the Microchip , Leslie Berlin captures not only this colorful individual but also the vibrant interplay of technology, business, money, politics, and culture that defines Silicon Valley.


Here is the life of a high-tech industry giant. The co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel, Noyce co-invented the Integrated circuit, the electronic heart of every modern computer, automobile, cellular telephone, Advanced weapon, and video game. With access to never-before-seen documents, Berlin paints a fascinating portrait of Noyce: an ambitious and intensely competitive multimillionaire who exuded a "just folks" sort of charm, a Midwestern preacher's son who rejected organized Religion but would counsel his employees to "go off and do something wonderful," a man who never looked back and sometimes paid a Price for it. In addition, this vivid Narrative sheds light on Noyce's friends and associates, including some of the best-known managers, venture capitalists, and Creative minds in Silicon Valley. Berlin draws upon interviews with dozens of key players in modern American business--including Andy Grove, Steve Jobs, Gordon Moore, and Warren Buffett; their recollections of Noyce give readers a privileged, first-hand Look inside the dynamic World of high-tech entrepreneurship.

Mark Twain : The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Mark Twain

Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He is most noted for his novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "the Great American Novel."

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an 1876 novel about a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. The story is set in the town of "St. Petersburg", inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Mark Twain lived.

In the 1840s an imaginative and mischievous boy named Tom Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother, Sid, in the Mississippi River town of St. Petersburg, Missouri. After playing hooky from school on Friday and dirtying his clothes in a fight, Tom is made to whitewash the fence as punishment on Saturday. At first, Tom is disappointed by  having to forfeit his day off. However, he soon cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for the privilege of doing his work. Later, he realizes that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain. He trades the treasures he got by tricking his friends for whitewashing for tickets given out in Sunday school for memorizing Bible verses, which can be used to claim a Bible as a prize. He received enough tickets to be given the Bible.

However, he loses much of his glory when, in response to a question to show off his knowledge, he incorrectly answers that the first two disciples were David and Goliath.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town, and persuades her to get “engaged” by kissing him. Becky kisses Tom. But their romance collapses when she learns that Tom has been “engaged” previously—to a girl named Amy Lawrence. Shortly after being shunned by Becky, Tom accompanies Huckleberry Finn, the son of the town drunk, to the graveyard at night to try out a “cure” for warts with a dead cat. At the graveyard, they witness the murder of young Dr. Robinson by the Native-American “half-breed” Injun Joe. Scared, Tom and Huck run away and swear a blood oath not to tell anyone what they have seen. Injun Joe frames his companion, Muff Potter, a hapless drunk, for the crime. Potter is wrongfully arrested, and Tom’s anxiety and guilt begin to grow.

Tom, Huck, and Tom’s friend Joe Harper run away to an island to become pirates. While frolicking around and enjoying their new found freedom, the boys become aware that the community is sounding the river for their bodies. Tom sneaks back home one night to observe the commotion. After a brief moment of remorse at the suffering of his loved ones, Tom is struck by the idea of appearing at his funeral and surprising everyone. He persuades Joe and Huck to do the same. Their return is met with great rejoicing, and they become the envy and admiration of all their friends.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Back in school, Tom gets himself back in Becky’s favor after he nobly accepts the blame for a book that she has ripped. Soon Muff Potter’s trial begins, and Tom, overcome by guilt, testifies against Injun Joe. Potter is acquitted, but Injun Joe flees the courtroom through a window.

Summer arrives, and Tom and Huck go hunting for buried treasure in a haunted house. After venturing upstairs they hear a noise below. Peering through holes in the floor, they see Injun Joe enter the house disguised as a deaf and mute Spaniard. He and his companion, an unkempt man, plan to bury some stolen treasure of their own. From their hiding spot, Tom and Huck wriggle with delight at the prospect of digging it up. By an amazing coincidence, Injun Joe and his partner find a buried box of gold themselves. When they see Tom and Huck’s tools, they become suspicious that someone is sharing their hiding place and carry the gold off instead of reburying it.

Huck begins to shadow Injun Joe every night, watching for an opportunity to nab the gold. Meanwhile, Tom goes on a picnic to McDougal’s Cave with Becky and their classmates. That same night, Huck sees Injun Joe and his partner making off with a box. He follows and overhears their plans to attack the Widow Douglas, a kind resident of St. Petersburg. By running to fetch help, Huck forestalls the violence and becomes an anonymous hero.

Tom and Becky get lost in the cave, and their absence is not discovered until the following morning. The men of the town begin to search for them, but to no avail. Tom and Becky run out of food and candles and begin to weaken. The horror of the situation increases when Tom, looking for a way out of the cave, happens upon Injun Joe, who is using the cave as a hideout. Eventually, just as the searchers are giving up, Tom finds a way out. The town celebrates, and Becky’s father, Judge Thatcher, locks up the cave. Injun Joe, trapped inside, starves to death.

A week later, Tom takes Huck to the cave and they find the box of gold, the proceeds of which are invested for them. The Widow Douglas adopts Huck, and, when Huck attempts to escape civilized life, Tom promises him that if he returns to the widow, he can join Tom’s robber band. Reluctantly, Huck agrees.

Research Fields in Biology

Science can be a confusing realm – workers in almost all scientific disciplines revel in the fact that they have a huge amount of special terminology, slang and jargon that can confuse and frighten even other scientists. This doesn’t result from any sinister intent, but the concepts under discussion are often so complex that having a simple word that describes a textbook’s worth of ideas becomes really handy. It saves a lot of time and makes sure that everyone is talking about the same thing. Assuming, of course, they know what the word means!

Sadly this means that when researchers come to talk to the pubic, they often get tangled up the complexities of their jargon and forget that not everyone knows what they mean by the ‘Red Queen’, ‘Lamarckism’ or ‘cladistic palaeobiogeography’. This even extends to the names of the fields they work in, so it seemed a good idea to give a list of the more common / simple research fields. Many people probably just think of biology in terms of zoology, botany and medicine, if that, when of course these are exceptionally general terms. Almost all researchers end up specialising in one or more much narrower fields, so although everyone on AAB is a biologist in one sense, I suspect that few would ever describe themselves as such. One person might specialise in how behaviour (ethology) affects big evolutionary changes (macroevolution) in humans (anthropology) and another on how the environment (ecology) influences behaviour (ethology) in fossil insects (palaeontology and entomology). So one looks at 250 million year old grasshoppers and works in a geology museum and the other studies living humans in cities and works in a hospital, but both could be described as ethologists!

Hopefully this list will give you an idea of some of the fields we work in, and what the terms mean.

Biology – essentially the ‘study of life’, and therefore everything to do with life comes under this term. For historical reasons, the term biologist is not usually applied to researchers who happen to specialise in the mammalian species Homo sapiens. Nevertheless, humans are biological beings, and they can be studied using a biological approach.

Botany – the study of plants. Again for historical reasons, this also generally includes fungi, algae and lichens, even though these organisms are no longer technically considered to be plants.

Zoology – the study of animals. Not the study of zoos! Zoo in this term is a contraction of zoological garden, though of course the root word is the same.

Medicine – the study of health. This includes diseases and problems of age, genetic disorders and injuries, etc. Of course thanks to our ‘human-centric’ view, most people will think of medicine as just referring to health in people, though of course we also have veterinary medicine for the study (and practice) of the health of animals.

Palaeontology – the study of extinct life (not to be confused with archaeology which covers only ancient human artefacts like houses or tools). Covers all life (again except humans) but the root term “palaeo-“ (which means “ancient”) is often combined with other key words to provide a more specific description. For example, palaeobotany is the study of extinct plants, and palaeoecology is the study of extinct ecosystems. Just to be confusing it can be spelt palaeontology or paleontology. While the study of rocks (geology) is a separate science, by definition palaeontology involves elements of geology that are needed to study the rocks in which the fossils are found.

Anatomy – the study of the shape and structure of animals and plants. This includes not only gross body structure, but also organs, parts of organs, and even individual cells.

Biochemistry - the study of the chemistry of living organisms – how chemical reactions happen in the body and why. This field has considerable areas of overlap with genetics and physiology.

Biogeography – the study of how life is distributed across the planet. This is especially important in palaeontology, as we can see how animals and plants spread across the world once they had evolved and see how patterns of distribution changed over time.

Biomechanics – this is an area where biology and physics overlap. Biomechanics is the study of how things move or act in a physical world, form how animals run, swim and fly (locomotion) right down to how muscles work, or even how channels in cell membranes open and close, and molecules move.

Ecology – the study of living things in relation to each other and to their environment. In other words, the study of how organisms live and interact with each other – who eats what, and how much, who gets eaten, and who competes or cooperates with whom.

Ethology – the study of behaviour. How animals behave, and the underlying reasons for their behaviour and how they originated and evolved.

Microbiology – the study of microorganisms, defined as organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye. This normally includes single-celled organisms such as bacteria and some algae, in addition to viruses and prions. A virus is essentially a non-cellular biochemical complex, existing at the boundary of the biological and chemical realms.

Pathology – the study of diseases and how to cure them.

Pharmacology – the study of drugs and medicines and how they affect the (typically human) body.

Physiology – the study of the biological processes. This really goes hand-in-hand with anatomy- knowing how an engine is built may be useful, but it’s also important to know how it works when you turn it on!

Taxonomy – the study of scientific names, or more specifically the science of naming species, making sure each species can be identified properly and working out its evolutionary relationships to other species (this latter part is often termed ‘systematics’).

Of course I could go on (quite a lot!). New fields of research are always being generated through new ideas and concepts, or old areas are combined to give a new approach or overlap. Even most groups of organisms have their own research name - almost everyone has heard the term ornithology for the study of birds, but there is also mammology (mammals), mycology (fungi), malacology (molluscs) and more, and I have not even included these here.

The Art of Racing in the Rain

Book Title : The Art of Racing in the Rain

Author: Garth Stein

Garth Stein’s book The Art of Racing in the Rain will definitely appeal to people who are either fond of dogs or of car racing. The book has been narrated from a point of view of a dog called Enzo. A dog of profound understanding, he curses his big, floppy tongue that won’t allow him to form words, which he thoroughly understands.

Enzo knows that he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with nearly a human soul and obsessed with opposable thumb. He has learnt and educated himself from his master Denny- an up and coming car race driver and from watching shows on the National Geographic Channel and Speed vision all day. It is through Denny that Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition and he sees that life, like racing, isn’t simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of life’s ordeals. Enzo who is very close to his death recounts the story of his life, recalling all that he and his family have gone through. From sacrifices Denny has made to succeed professionally to the unexpected loss of Eve: his wife, the three year battle over their daughter, Zoe whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain custody.

In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations, Enzo comes through heroically to to preserve the family and holding in his heart the dream that Denny will become a racing champion with Zoe at his side.

The Art of Racing in the Rain has got everything: Love, tragedy, redemption, danger and especially a patient, wise and doggish character. Stein has put more wisdom, humanity and insight into the dog’s thoughts than are found in most human characters. It’s a heart wrenching, beautifully crafted story with a captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life.

Sathya Sai Baba - A Great Spiritual Guru and Educator

Sathya Sai Baba born as Sathyanarayana Raju (23 November 1926 – 24 April 2011) was an Indian guru, spiritual figure and educator. He was described by his devotees as an avatar, godman, spiritual teacher and miracle worker. The apparent materialising of vibhuti (holy ash) and other small objects such as rings, necklaces and watches by Baba has been a source of both fame and controversy – skeptics consider these simple conjuring tricks while devotees consider them evidence of divinity. Sathya Sai Baba claimed to be the reincarnation of the spiritual guru, Sai Baba of Shirdi, whose teachings were an eclectic blend of Hindu and Muslim beliefs.

Sathya Sai Baba and his organisations support a variety of free educational institutions, hospitals, and other charitable works in India and abroad. The number of active Sathya Sai Baba adherents was estimated in 1999 to be around 6 million, although followers' estimations are far higher. Since there are no formal ties of membership, the actual figure may never be known. The Sathya Sai Organisation reports that there are an estimated 1,200 Sathya Sai Baba Centers in 114 countries worldwide.

Dictionary of World Mysticism by M.G. Gupta

This dictionary is about terms used in literature of mysticism in all Parts of the world. It seeks to show that mysticism is acceptance of the Supernatural essence of the phenomena of Nature and society-the explanation of various Events and occurrences in people's Lives with reference to predestination or fate.

It throws light on the interpretation of various discoveries in Natural sciences as demonstration of the existence of mysterious forces, e.g. scientology, which gambles on mystical interpretations of man's consciousness. It also seeks to cover religious-cum-philosophical idealist teachings such as theosophy (knowledge of God) and anthroposophy (knowledge of man).

It explains various beliefs and Cults in East and West: Buddhism, Hinduism, Radhasoami Faith, Sant Mat, Sufism, Yoga, Taoism, Zen, Judaism, Cabbala, Hasidism, vestiges of primitive beliefs in spirits in the form of spiritualism, in magical impersonal Forces in the form of occultism, magical healing, "pynergy" Revolution and pyramidyantra, Vastu shastra and so on. It explains superstitions, soothsaying, omens, stones, and jewels and sheds light on all forms of life and man's activities from Sex to eating.

It seeks to analyse how mysticism implies a belief in the direct supersensory communication of man with his Maker. After all, all mysticism is Religious and all Religion is mystical. In this context, the reader will find here references to terms used in Hinduism, Vedanta, Sufism, Sant Mat, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Christianity, Parsism, Judaism, Neoplatonism, Philosophy of Spinoza, cosmic mysticism of Goethe, Taoism, Shintoism, and Zen Buddhism, and by all most major saints in the East and the West.

Any serious Student of Comparative religion and philosophy will find this work immensely useful, stimulating, and an indispensable reference work.
