| atlas shrugged in telugu: 100 Voices Scott McConnell, 2010-11-02 An extensive collection of never-before-published interviews reflecting on Ayn Rand's life and character. Drawing on 100 never-before-published interviews, Scott McConnell presents a unique portrait of a larger-than-life literary giant and a fascinating individual, Ayn Rand. Focusing on the private Rand, McConnell talked to the author's family, friends, fans, and associates, as well as Hollywood stars, university professors, fiction writers, and many more. Arranged in chronological order, these interviews cover a broad range of years, contexts, relationships, and observations on one of the most influential- and controversial-figures of the twentieth century.

| atlas shrugged in telugu: The Fountainhead Ayn Rand, 2014-12-02 When The Fountainhead was first published, Ayn Rand's daringly original literary vision and her groundbreaking philosophy, Objectivism, won immediate worldwide interest and acclaim. This instant classic is the story of an intransigent young architect, his violent battle against conventional standards, and his explosive love affair with a beautiful woman who struggles to defeat him. This edition contains a special afterword by Rand’s literary executor, Leonard Peikoff, which includes excerpts from Ayn Rand’s own notes on the making of The Fountainhead. As fresh today as it was then, here is a novel about a hero—and about those who try to destroy him. |
| atlas shrugged in telugu: Anthem Ayn Rand, 2021-07-07 About this Edition This Digital Student Edition of Ayn Rand's Anthem was created for teachers and students receiving free novels from the Ayn Rand Institute, and includes a historic Q&A with Ayn Rand that cannot be found in any other edition of Anthem. In this Q&A from 1979, Rand responds to questions about Anthem sent to her by a high school classroom. About Anthem Anthem is Ayn Rand’s “hymn to man’s ego.” It is the story of one man’s rebellion against a totalitarian, collectivist society. Equality 7-2521 is a young man who yearns to understand “the Science of Things.” But he lives in a bleak, dystopian future where independent thought is a crime and where science and technology have regressed to primitive levels. All expressions of individualism have been suppressed in the world of Anthem; personal possessions are nonexistent, individual preferences are condemned as sinful and romantic love is forbidden. Obedience to the collective is so deeply ingrained that the very word “I” has been erased from the language. In pursuit of his quest for knowledge, Equality 7-2521 struggles to answer the questions that burn within him — questions that ultimately lead him to uncover the mystery behind his society’s downfall and to find the key to a future of freedom and progress. Anthem anticipates the theme of Rand’s first best seller, The Fountainhead, which she stated as “individualism versus collectivism, not in politics, but in man’s soul.” |
| atlas shrugged in telugu: Points of Departure Sudarsanam Padam, 2021-07-19 In this grass-roots memoir, renowned public policy expert and public transport professional Sudarsanam Padam sketches his life from a small village on the banks of Godavari to an exciting life beyond. He studied while working to graduate from the Nizam College, Hyderabad. His first job was at the age of sixteen in the Census of the Taluk Office (1960). From seventeen onwards, he worked in the Bar Council, Telephone Department and Small Industry Training Institute. With constant encouragement from his lawyer-father, he graduated in 1969. He almost made it to the central civil services. He had a very rewarding career as a manager in the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC). He describes his life as a young manager in APSRTC, controlling one thousand workers and operating more than a hundred buses—the only means of travel in a big district. He saw blood on the road and the death of hapless poor in accidents, combined with an essential public service. The broadening of human understanding and matching it with moving people across often impassable roads was an education no college could give. In all, Dr. Padam’s Points of Departure are live examples of what young professionals can do in their own quest for excellence and for sustained institution-building for generations of students and professionals who follow. |

| atlas shrugged in telugu: The Emperor of All Maladies Siddhartha Mukherjee, 2011-08-09 Selected as One of the Best Books of the 21st Century by The New York Times Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, adapted as a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer. |

| atlas shrugged in telugu: 12 Rules for Life Jordan B. Peterson, 2018-01-23 OVER TEN MILLION COPIES SOLD #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER What are the most valuable things that everyone should know? Acclaimed clinical psychologist Jordan B Peterson has influenced the modern understanding of personality, and now he has become one of the world's most popular public thinkers, with his lectures on topics from the Bible to romantic relationships to mythology drawing tens of millions of viewers. In an era of unprecedented change and polarizing politics, his frank and refreshing message about the value of individual responsibility and ancient wisdom has resonated around the world. In this book, he provides twelve profound and practical principles for how to live a meaningful life, from setting your house in order before criticising others to comparing yourself to who you were yesterday, not someone else today. Happiness is a pointless goal, he shows us. Instead we must search for meaning, not for its own sake, but as a defence against the suffering that is intrinsic to our existence. Drawing on vivid examples from the author's clinical practice and personal life, cutting-edge psychology and philosophy, and lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories, 12 Rules for Life offers a deeply rewarding antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to our modern problems. |

| atlas shrugged in telugu: Philosophy Ayn Rand, 1984-11-01 This collection of essays was the last work planned by Ayn Rand before her death in 1982. In it, she summarizes her view of philosophy and deals with a broad spectrum of topics. According to Ayn Rand, the choice we make is not whether to have a philosophy, but which one to have: rational, conscious, and therefore practical; or contradictory, unidentified, and ultimately lethal. Written with all the clarity and eloquence that have placed Ayn Rand’s Objectivist philosophy in the mainstream of American thought, these essays range over such basic issues as education, morality, censorship, and inflation to prove that philosophy is the fundamental force in all our lives. |

| atlas shrugged in telugu: Man’s Fate and God’s Choice Bhimeswara Challa, 2011-02-09 The world today is facing a bewildering array of problems where human behavior is both brazen and bizarre. Those who are searching for a way out are daring to ask fundamental questions: What is man’s rightful place? Are we a doomed species? Is God becoming weary of mankind? In Man’s Fate and God’s Choice, Bhimeswara Challa shares his comprehensive study of human behavior that suggests that the very paradigm of our thinking is inappropriate for the current challenges we face. In a thoughtful, innovative presentation of ideas, Challa posits that any betterment in human behavior needs a cathartic change at the deepest level, ultimately reawakening the intelligence of the human heart. He begins by examining the greatest challenge of this generation of human beings and continues by placing the multiple identities of man in perspective, reviewing our growing insensitivity to human suffering. Finally, he looks to the living world for inspiration, metaphors, and models for human transformation. Man’s Fate and God’s Choice incisively covers an array of issues and proposes an agenda for action as it challenges those who see misery and ask “Why?” to also see the promise in the rainbow and then ask “Why not?” |

| atlas shrugged in telugu: A Naked Singularity Sergio de la Pava, 2012-04-09 “Propulsive . . . The novel’s chaotic sprawl, black humor and madcap digressions make it a thrilling rejoinder to the tidy story arcs [of] most crime fiction.” —The Wall Street Journal Winner of the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Best Debut Novel Named a Best Book of the Year in the Wall Street Journal, Houston Chronicle, and Philadelphia City Paper A Naked Singularity tells the story of Casi, born to Colombian immigrants, who lives in Brooklyn and works in Manhattan as a public defender—one who, tellingly, has never lost a trial. Never. In the book, we watch what happens when his sense of justice and even his sense of self begin to crack—and how his world then slowly devolves. A huge, ambitious novel in the vein of DeLillo, Foster Wallace, Pynchon, and even Melville, it’s told in a distinct, frequently hilarious voice, with a striking human empathy at its center. Its panoramic reach takes readers through crime and courts, immigrant families and urban blight, media savagery and media satire, scatology and boxing, and even a breathless heist worthy of any crime novel. If Infinite Jest stuck a pin in the map of mid-90s culture and drew our trajectory from there, A Naked Singularity does the same for the feeling of surfeit, brokenness, and exhaustion that permeates our civic and cultural life today. In the opening sentence of William Gaddis’s A Frolic of His Own, a character sneers, “Justice? You get justice in the next world. In this world, you get the law.” A Naked Singularity reveals the extent of that gap, and lands firmly on the side of those who are forever getting the law. “A great American novel.” —Toronto Star |

| atlas shrugged in telugu: Visiting Mrs. Nabokov Martin Amis, 2011-01-26 A tantalizing collection of classic essays from one of the most gifted writers of his generation. • The brainy, sarcastic, tender intelligence at the center of these pieces can make you laugh out loud: they can also move you to tears. —People Martin Amis brings the same megawatt wit, wickedly acute perception, and ebullient wordplay that characterize his novels. He encompasses the full range of contemporary politics and culture (high and low) while also traveling to China for soccer with Elton John and to London's darts-crazy pubs in search of the perfect throw. Throughout, he offers razor-sharp takes on such subjects as: American politics: If history is a nightmare from which we are trying to awake, then the Reagan era can be seen as an eight-year blackout. Numb, pale, unhealthily dreamless: eight years of Do Not Disturb. Chess: Nowhere in sport, perhaps in human activity, is the gap between the tryer and the expert so astronomical.... My chances of a chess brilliancy are the 'chances' of a lab chimp and a type writer producing King Lear. His fascination with the observable world is utterly promiscuous: he will address a cathedral and a toilet seat with the same peeled-eyeball intensity. —John Updike |
| atlas shrugged in telugu: Equal Is Unfair Don Watkins, Yaron Brook, 2016-03-29 “Shows that government intervention in all areas of our lives—not income inequality—is what’s really threatening the American Dream.” —Mallory Factor, New York Times–bestselling author of Shadowbosses We’ve all heard that the American Dream is vanishing, and that the cause is rising income inequality. The rich are getting richer by rigging the system in their favor, leaving the rest of us to struggle just to keep our heads above water. To save the American Dream, we’re told that we need to fight inequality through tax hikes, wealth redistribution schemes, and a far higher minimum wage. But what if that narrative is wrong? What if the real threat to the American Dream isn’t rising income inequality—but an all-out war on success? In Equal is Unfair, a timely and thought-provoking work, Don Watkins and Yaron Brook reveal that almost everything we’ve been taught about inequality is wrong. You’ll discover: • why successful CEOs make so much money—and deserve to • how the minimum wage hurts the very people it claims to help • why middle-class stagnation is a myth • how the little-known history of Sweden reveals the dangers of forced equality The critics of inequality are right about one thing: the American Dream is under attack. But instead of fighting to make America a place where anyone can achieve success, they are fighting to tear down those who already have. The real key to making America a freer, fairer, more prosperous nation is to protect and celebrate the pursuit of success—not pull down the high fliers in the name of equality. |

| atlas shrugged in telugu: How to Change Your Mind Michael Pollan, 2019-05-14 Now on Netflix as a 4-part documentary series! “Pollan keeps you turning the pages . . . cleareyed and assured.” —New York Times A #1 New York Times Bestseller, New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018, and New York Times Notable Book A brilliant and brave investigation into the medical and scientific revolution taking place around psychedelic drugs--and the spellbinding story of his own life-changing psychedelic experiences When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research. A unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's mental travelogue is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives. |

Lieven, 2015 FINANCIAL TIMES BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2015 The Russian decision to mobilize in July 1914 may have been the single most catastrophic choice of the modern era. Some articulate, thoughtful figures around the Tsar understood Russia's fragility, and yet they were shouted down by those who were convinced that, despite Germany's patent military superiority, Russian greatness required decisive action. Russia's rulers thought they were acting to secure their future, but in fact - after millions of deaths and two revolutions - they were consigning their entire class to death or exile and their country to a uniquely terrible generations-long experiment under a very different regime. Dominic Lieven is a Senior Research Fellow of Trinity College,Cambridge University, and a Fellow of the British Academy. His book Russia Against Napoleon (Penguin) won the Wolfson Prize for History and the Prize of the Fondation Napoleon for the best foreign work on the Napoleonic era. |
| atlas shrugged in telugu: On the Plurality of Civilizations Feliks Koneczny, 2021-02-02 348 pages. In the XXth c. there were several authors struggling with the notion of civilization - Oswald Spengler (Der Untergang des Abendlandes), Arnold Toynbee (A Study of History), Anton Hilckman (Orient et Occident. Une Philosophie de l'histoire), Samuel Huntington (A Clash of Civilizations). Among them Feliks Koneczny was the most original. He expanded his general views on how to classify civilizations in the volume On the Plurality of Civilizations. He did not believe that civilizations are like organisms which have a birth, a youth, and adult life, a decline and death. He pointed out that some civilizations exist for millennia and show no decline while others are short lived. Koneczny claims that in the history of the world there were around 22 civilizations of which only nine exist today (Chinese, Brahmin, Jewish, Tibetan, Numidian, Turanian, Byzantine, Latin, Arab). He goes on to describe in detail these existing civilizations and in particular the four which struggle for existence in Poland. Koneczny claims that civilizations are constantly at war and no synthesis among them is possible because they have irreconcilable attitudes towards ethics. One has to consciously defend one's own civilization. |

| atlas shrugged in telugu: The Word of the Bedlamite Robert M. Leger, 2022-02-16 It's the 1920's But in an alternate, steam-powered world Airships, trains, steamboats Robot cops - Robbies A soul-grinding prison gulag A ruler without laws ... or pity A machine that thinks ... and plots A gang of smugglers A crazy man - the Bedlamite A plan to change everything, based on ... The Word of the Bedlamite Excerpt: The Control Room We were in Panama, in what we believed was the main site for the Unit, but I knew instantly the main control panels we were looking at were dead, cannibalized for parts, most likely. So I went around behind them to track the cabling. It went into the wall quick enough, but on the other side it descended into a mass of snake-like wires and cables, lost in a row of tall cabinets - power units. I scanned the front panels, and quickly found a panel marked Main Circuits with two vertical rows of heavy switches. I finger walked down the right-hand row and read the labels that remained: Air Cond, Outside Lights, Main Halls, but a couple of others had lost their labels. I scanned the left row from the top and saw it instantly, second one down: Control Room. It was flipped off, as were all the others. Likely that meant there had been an orderly shutdown of the plant, instead of some sort of catastrophic failure. Good. Maybe, just maybe... I scanned the panel below, and there they were: Main Power West and Main Power East. I figured, what the heck, and flipped Main Power West on. Nothing happened, as I expected. To tell the truth, I was hoping for that. No sparks or flames probably meant there weren't any obvious short circuits. I tried Main Power East. Same thing - nothing. Okay, next step was to try the switches above. I flipped the Main Halls switch, but unfortunately no lights came on in the hall. Could be all the bulbs were taken - could be the individual switches in the halls were off. Well, I figured, let's just try the Control Room switch - see what happens. Instantly I heard a thunk, then a hum. Eureka - power to the control room. I ran back to the control room and around to the front of the consoles. Several had lights glowing under pushbuttons, a row of round lights lit up two-thirds the way up a stack, and one of the monitors looked like it was trying to display a readout - a wheel was turning and a needle moved, then settled back to what must have been the bottom - zero. That made sense. The monitor didn't have any input from any kind of source. I turned off that monitor, then tried to read the indicator lights, but they were marked in another language - I guessed French or Spanish. I was confused. The power panels had been in English. Why weren't these the same? Didn't matter. I didn't need these panels to work. I just needed there to be a connection back to ... where was it? Ah there. On the right, a little indicator light glowing red - there was a live connection to the main unit back in Milieu's headquarters - the site of his 'tower of glory'. I decided that since I wasn't ready to use that connection just yet, I'd better just turn everything off for now. For one thing, if I could see there was a live connection to Milieu, maybe Milieu could see that this facility, which should have been dead, was now somehow suddenly alive. I powered everything down. |
