- : shoka the Great, the ruler of ancient India's largest kingdom, took the path of peace, tolerance, non-violence and compassion after a fierce battle in Kalinga. He now addressed his subjects as a father would his children, and erected pillars that spread his thoughts throughout the land in the people's own language. He put their welfare above all else and worked towards that for the rest of his life. One of the most well-known symbols from India's history, the Ashoka chakra, now adorns India's national flag, and the lion capital from his pillars is our national emblem. In this lively, engrossing account of Ashoka's life and the times, Subhadra Sen Gupta deftly brings him alive again from behind the swirling mists of time.

- : Emma, first published in 1816, was written when Jane Austen was at the height of her powers. In a novel remarkable for its sparkling wit and modernity, Austen presents readers with two of literature’s greatest comic creations—the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse and that quintessential bore, Miss Bates. Here, too, we have what may well be Jane Austen’s most profound characterization: the witty, imaginative, self-deluded Emma, a heroine the author declared “no one but myself will much like,” but who has been much loved by generations of readers. Delightfully funny, full of rich irony, Emma is regarded as one of Jane Austen’s finest achievements.

- : Time travel was easy enough to begin with. It was a simple concept, go back in time, observe, and return. However, not everyone agreed with that idea. There were those who'd rather change history subtly, to their own greedy ends. But time is like a chain reaction, change one thing and you could change all of history with the ripples which affected future generations. If there's no one to police it, everything we know could be lost. In this series of science fiction books, an agency in charge of keeping tab of time and history constantly checks in on the time travellers, and fixes the changes that people make to prevent all of history from being affected. They're the TimeRiders, and they will do anything to stop time travel from destroying the world.
