Book Description
The College Street Coffee House is still a much-revered institution in Kolkata. Its mystique lingers, despite its dilapidated appearance that evokes another era. Intellectuals from a range of disciplines met to discuss compelling ideas in a free-flowing style – the quintessential Bengali adda, punctuated with many cups of coffee. Twenty-six intellectual, political, and cultural icons including Rabin Mandal, Soumitra Chatterjee, Usha Ganguly, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, and Ashim Chatterjee share their memories of Coffee House. Their portrait photos and absorbing reminiscences capture the tumultuous and changing intellectual, political, and cultural currents that surged through Bengal from the 1950s to the 1990s. “Such a pleasure to have this account of a great unofficial institution from a disarming multiplicity of perspectives - photographic, personal, and intellectual - and to listen in on its hubbub.”Amit Chaudhuri

Book Description
Despite spectacular advances in medical sciences, navigating the road-trip of life and surmounting the inevitable health bumps that come during the journey, is increasingly becoming an intelligent individual’s do-it-alone venture. This book is a travelogue touching a wide range of health topics: from how to use the internet wisely, make your home medical kit, adopt lifestyle and food choices based on evidence, our habits and health indicators that need a watch, our gut health and stress levels, spot the dark corner of our mind, and many more. It acquaints the reader with common health challenges such as digestive and liver ailments, problems of the heart, diabetes, sleep disorders and cancers, drawing from anecdotes, real life stories and from world of news. It describes some boundaries that modern medicine is trying to explore that challenge our attitudes. And finally presents to you the human animal in a white coat called ‘doctor’. This book, grounded in science, is a chatty read on health issues, with insights and anecdotes, spiced with empathy and a dash of philosophy.

Mysteries of the Adda: An Inquiry on Paranormal Activities

Author: Alessandro Valsecchi
Publisher: Babelcube Inc.
ISBN: 1507143990
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 44

Book Description
Strange apparitions, sound of chains and mournful cries: is it really ghosts? Some believe that in certain places the spirits of those who suffered a violent death still reside while and others think that these are just stories to scare children with. Yet it doesn’t matter whether you believe or not: the author’s reports on the mysteries of the Adda will make you explore a gray area that has always held an esoteric charm. In his book, Alessandro Valsecchi, amateur reporter of ghost-infested places, tells his story after collecting legends, anecdotes, and testimonies as well as visiting and photographing two places shrouded in mystery: the Cemetery of Crespi d’Adda and the Visconti Castle of Trezzo, home to the cruel Bernabò Visconti. The summoning of creatures that take place in the sinister mausoleum of the cemetery and the moans of the dead wandering in the dark dungeons of the castle will take you on a thrilling tour. Are you ready to believe? The reports are accompanied by numerous and detailed color photographs.
