When it comes to matters of the heart, Marianne is passionate and romantic and soon falls for the charming, but unreliable Mr Willoughby. Elinor, in contrast, copes stoically with the news that her love, Edward Ferrars is promised to another.
It is through their shared experiences of love that both sisters come to learn that the key to a successful match comes from finding the perfect mixture of rationality and feeling.

IN WHITE INK
Author：Elske Rahill
Publisher：Apollo
Call Number：823.920／R4
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
Motherhood, nurture and violence, these are the themes of Elske Rahill’s remarkable first collection, In White Ink. Rahill brings to life the psychological and physical reality of mothering, pregnancy and childbirth in ways that few others writers have attempted. Here is a biting realism, in the relations between men and women and in the expectations and failures of their assigned roles.
Each story is illumined by moments of harsh poetry. They are carefully crafted snapshots of our condition. In the title story, an isolated young mother is locked into a custody battle with her abusive ex-boyfriend; ‘Right to Reply’ shows three generations of women confronting the terrible legacy of their family’s past; in ‘Toby’, a woman obsessed with hygiene finally snaps, when she finds her home is infested with fleas. The precision of Rahill’s prose, the stoicism of her unflinching narrative gaze, reveal characters caught up in violently emotional situations.
The version of motherhood found here is painful. Yet its endurance, as nature’s greatest force, is brilliantly and compassionately rendered.

TRUST & INSPIRE: HOW TRULY GREAT LEADERS UNLEASH GREATNESS IN OTHERS
Author：Stephen M. R. Covey
Publisher：Simon & Schuster
Call Number：658.400／C3
Location：Area C
Synopsis：
Bestselling author Stephen Covey has made it his mission to understand trust in organizations. In his new breakthrough leadership book Trust and Inspire, Covey shows that though our world has evolved, our style of leadership still has not—but it’s time to change that.
Traditionally, businesses have relied on a “command and control” management style, focusing on rigid hierarchies and compliance from employees. Covey argues we must shift from a “command and control” to a “trust and inspire” leadership model. Trusting and inspiring your team is defined by commitment from both sides, with a focus on effectiveness and fostering a growth mindset. It is based on the belief that employees are creative, collaborative, and full of potential; through trust, you can inspire them to do their best work.
Trust and Inspire is a simple yet radical shift in how business must be done in the 21st century and an expansive, visionary, and inviting guide to the future of leadership.

Kerajaan Mesir diperintah selama sekitar tiga ribu tahun oleh puluhan dinasti. Satu dinasti terdiri dari sejumlah Firaun. Para pengkaji sejarah sejauh ini telah berkesimpulan pada dua nama iaitu Firaun Ramses II dan anaknya Firaun Maneftah yang hidup pada zaman Nabi Musa AS.
Yang pertama memerintah hingga tahun 1212 SM. Mumia atau jasadnya telah diteliti ramai pakar arkeologi termasuk Dr Maurice Bucaille, seorang ahli bedah asal Perancis, pada 1975-1976. Nabi Musa AS dipercayai hidup sekitar tahun 1212 SM. Para pengkaji berkeyakinan bahawa Firaun yang memelihara dan membesarkan Nabi Musa di istananya ialah Ramses II.
