| Summary/Abstract |
The mesmerizing story of Hillary Clinton's political rebirth, based on eyewitness accounts from deep inside her inner circle and featuring a new introduction from the authors
Hillary Clinton’s surprising defeat in the 2008 Democratic primary brought her to the nadir of her political career, vanquished by a much younger opponent whose message of change and cutting-edge tech team ran circles around her stodgy campaign. And yet, six years later, she has reemerged as an even more powerful and influential figure, a formidable stateswoman and the presumed front-runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, marking one of the great political comebacks in history.
The story of Hillary’s phoenixlike rise is at the heart of HRC, a riveting political biography that journeys into the heart of “Hillaryland” to discover a brilliant strategist at work. Masterfully unfolded by Politico’sJonathan Allen and The Hill’s Amie Parnes from more than two hundred top-access interviews with Hillary’s intimates, colleagues, supporters, and enemies, HRC portrays a seasoned operator who negotiates political and diplomatic worlds with equal savvy. Loathed by the Obama team in the wake of the primary, Hillary worked to become the president’s greatest ally, their fates intertwined in the work of reestablishing America on the world stage. HRC puts readers in the room with Hillary during the most intense and pivotal moments of this era, as she mulls the president-elect’s offer to join the administration, pulls the strings to build a coalition for his war against Libya, and scrambles to deal with the fallout from the terrible events in Benghazi—all while keeping one eye focused on 2016.
HRC offers a rare look inside the merciless Clinton political machine, as Bill Clinton handled the messy business of avenging Hillary’s primary loss while she tried to remain above the partisan fray. Exploring her friendships and alliances with Robert Gates, David Petraeus, Leon Panetta, Joe Biden, and the president himself, Allen and Parnes show how Hillary fundamentally transformed the State Department through the force of her celebrity and her unparalleled knowledge of how power works in Washington. Filled with deep reporting and immersive storytelling, this remarkable portrait of the most important female politician in American history is an essential inside look at the woman who may be our next president.

| Summary/Abstract |
'This is a riveting book, with as much to say about the transformation of modern life in the information age as about its supernaturally gifted and driven subject' - Telegraph
Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years - as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, , and colleagues - this is the acclaimed, internationally bestselling biography of the ultimate icon of inventiveness.
Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and searingly intense personality of creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies,music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written, nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.

| Summary/Abstract |
The evolution of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards in banking marks a transformative shift from profit-centric operations to purpose-driven finance. Initially driven by ethical investment mandates, ESG integration has now become a strategic imperative for banks facing climate risks, stakeholder scrutiny, and regulatory expectations. From voluntary frameworks like UNPRI and Equator Principles to global standards such as TCFD and BRSR, ESG adoption has evolved across three key phases: voluntary adoption, framework development, and regulatory mainstreaming.
In India, initiatives by RBI and SEBI have accelerated ESG alignment in banking practices. As banks integrate ESG into risk governance, credit decisions, and disclosures, they not only boost resilience but also contribute to sustainable development and national economic goals.

| Summary/Abstract |
India’s financial sector has experienced a dramatic shift over the past few decades, propelled by initiatives aimed at expanding credit access and fostering inclusivity. At the core of this transformation are Credit Information Companies (CICs), which have revolutionised lending by addressing information disparities, enhancing decision-making processes, and extending financial services to marginalised communities.
This article explores the historical evolution of CICs, the obstacles they have overcome, and the regulatory and technological advancements that have shaped their growth. It also examines the broader digital ecosystem and innovative technologies that work in tandem with CICs to create a more equitable and robust financial framework, enabling millions to access the credit they need to thrive.
Beyond merely transforming the lending landscape, Credit Information Companies (CICs) have contributed significantly to India’s broader economic development. CICs support the goals of financial stability and inclusion outlined in national development frameworks such as the Financial Sector Development Council (FSDC) and the Digital India Mission by creating an environment in which credit evaluation is faster, more accurate, and more transparent. Their evolution represents a fundamental shift from a cash-driven, informal financial system to a technology-driven, data-led ecosystem that empowers both lenders and borrowers.
Additionally, the emergence of advanced analytics, behavioural scoring, and real-time monitoring has enabled CICs to deepen their role in economic governance. As India continues to witness rising aspirations among its population, reliable credit data ensures equitable opportunities in entrepreneurship, home ownership, education finance, and livelihood enhancement. The story of CICs is therefore not just about credit, it is about the democratisation of economic opportunity at a national scale.

| Summary/Abstract |
India is witnessing a financial services revolution powered by financial technology (fintech) innovations. Over the past decade, a vibrant fintech ecosystem has reimagined how individuals and businesses access credit, make payments, insure assets, and invest savings. Digital platforms are reaching hundreds of millions of people – many for the first time – with convenient and affordable financial solutions. This surge of innovation is not only transforming finance but also accelerating India’s broader economic ambitions. As the nation aspires to become a $5 trillion economy and achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat (a developed India) by 2047, fintech has emerged as a key catalyst for inclusive growth, resilience, and productivity.
India’s journey to becoming a fintech leader began in the early 2010s with a wave of startups targeting inefficiencies in traditional banking. Entrepreneurial fintech ventures emerged to tackle pain points in payments, lending, money transfers, and personal finance. Backed by a supportive startup ecosystem and eager consumers, these companies rapidly proliferated. Today, India has nearly 10,000 fintech startups – the third-highest number in the world – spanning diverse domains such as mobile payments, digital lending, wealthtech, insurtech, and neobanking. This flourishing ecosystem has attracted substantial investor interest, placing India among the top recipients of global fintech funding and deal activity in recent years

| Summary/Abstract |
Focus groups are a popular, widely accepted, and legitimate research method to determine attitudes, experiences, perceptions, and knowledge on a wide range of topics in many fields of endeavour. For example, studies have been conducted to examine participants′ favourite pizza toppings, their quality of life following hip replacement surgery and how they feel about human cloning. Focus groups lead to the voicing of attitudes and insights not readily attainable from other qualitative forms of data collection. The spectrum of interest in focus groups covers virtually all disciplines, and the variety of the applications for this technique is extraordinary. In nine parts, Prof. Graham Walden explores what a focus group is, how they are best used, the strengths and weaknesses of focus groups and the ethical issues surrounding focus groups, amongst other things.

| Summary/Abstract |
The new social contexts formed via the Internet, and the new forms of data made available by the increasing use of diverse forms of computer mediated communication, have challenged researchers to develop approaches which do them justice. At the same time, there has been concern that established principles should be preserved, and that the connection between virtual research methods and more conventional research approaches should not be rejected out of hand. Despite a number of handbooks and textbooks published in recent years there is still a dearth of authoritative works which offer comprehensive coverage of the virtual research methods available to social researchers. In particular, there is none which thoroughly explores the full range of virtual research methods and their antecedents, and which explores the methodological and epistemological ramifications of their development. This multivolume reference collection fills this gap.
The collection covers perspectives on the Internet as a social space; research models for the Internet and the skills, techniques and approaches needed to conduct research in a virtual environment; innovations in the research process and reflections on these innovations; and the ethical considerations to take into account when doing research on the Internet.

At the same time, there has been concern that established principles should be preserved, and that the connection between virtual research methods and more conventional research approaches should not be rejected out of hand. Despite a number of handbooks and textbooks published in recent years there is still a dearth of authoritative works which offer comprehensive coverage of the virtual research methods available to social researchers. In particular, there is none which thoroughly explores the full range of virtual research methods and their antecedents, and which explores the methodological and epistemological ramifications of their development. This multivolume reference collection fills this gap.
The collection covers perspectives on the Internet as a social space; research models for the Internet and the skills, techniques and approaches needed to conduct research in a virtual environment; innovations in the research process and reflections on these innovations; and the ethical considerations to take into account when doing research on the Internet.
