The Mathematical Universe

This interesting book by William Dunham can create anyone's interest in the Science of Maths :-) . Takes you from A-Z touching each important topic historically & stories, mathematicians, mathematics behind events . Their happen more theorems in Maths than events. I learnt that there is minimum 1 prime number between n & 2n. And up to 267 as 'p' (with exception of 67), "(2^p) -1" is always a prime. I'm still reading it - not complete yet. Reading about Jacob Bernoulli & his brother Johann Bernoulli - both equally intelligent & mathematical rivals :-) .

2. Jonathan livingston seagull - by Richard Bach . A short & motivational book.
   
3. Nehru - by Shashi Tharoor - A very well written book that represents a chain of historical events in Pre & post-freedom India (19th & 20th Century). You need a dictionary while reding this one :-) . It describes the implications of Nehru's life & decisions on shape of Indian politics.
   
4. Knock 'em dead - by Martin Yate
5. Auto care & maintenance guide - by Pepboys
6. Just completed Oracle RMAN (Recovery Manager) study & related experiments on my computer :-) . No backup & recovery tool can beat it in terms of effeciency, effectiveness & usefulness. RMAN is the best backup 7 recovery tool provided by Oracle itself. No need of any separate installations too !
