Forbes To The Limits: Pushing Yourself to the Edge In Adventure and in Business, by James M. Clash
What does climbing a mountain tell you about running a business? Can driving a race car at 200 m.p.h. prepare you to launch an entrepreneurial venture? Why do so many of the world’s most successful business leaders seek the thrills of physical adventure?
In To the Limits, Forbes adventure writer Jim Clash tells rousing stories of adventures with high-profile, daredevil executives as they push themselves to the limits of physical and mental endurance. In the face of extreme challenge, these proven winners display many of the same qualities of character that account for their success in business: willingness to take risks, absolute self-reliance, and the ability to make tough decisions under pressure.
Clash takes you to the North Pole with Martinn Mandles, Chairman of ABM Industries, climbing the Matterhorn with Forbes, Inc. COO Timothy Forbes, and racing cigarette boats with Clinton Group hedge fund manager George Hall. He straps into the cockpit of a MiG-25 jet fighter and streaks off at Mach 2.6 to explore the fringes of outer space, tramps the Namibian desert with Geoffrey Kent, founder of Abercrombie & Kent, to climb the world’s tallest sand dune, and follows Genova Products chairman Robert Williams 12,500 feet beneath the north Atlantic to explore the remains of the Titanic.
Clash also details the many commercial expeditions available to the daring would-be adventurer, from climbing Mt. Everest to racing Lamborghinis, and asks why high adventure has become so popular among business executives. Does overcoming a life-or-death challenge provide a deeper level of satisfaction than can be found in the day-to-day challenges of the business world? Find out as To the Limits takes you on an unforgettable journey to the very edge of physical endurance while celebrating the spirit of adventure in all of us.

Seychelles Global Citizen: The Autobiography of the Founding President, by James R. Mancham
This title offers an insightful and informative look at the remarkable life and times of Sir James Mancham - founding President of the Republic of the Seychelles. James Mancham (b. 1939) is one of the most remarkable people to have appeared on the international political stage. In 1977, he became the Founding President of the Republic of the Seychelles as he led the country to independence from the Commonwealth. However, just one year later, he was ousted from this position and forced into exile after a coup d'etat which ended with a socialist one-party state being declared. During his years in exile, Sir James became a hugely successful and influential figure in world politics, international relations, and as an advocate for democracy. He returned to the Seychelles in 1992 after multi-party democracy was restored, since then he has dedicated himself to promoting the Seychelles in the international community.

"Luxury Private Islands": Coffee Table Book by teNeues, from the "Luxury Books" series
No man is an island. But almost all of us have dreamed of owning one at some time or other. A slice of paradise, where we could set the rules and create a vision of the world as it should be. Few ever realize this fantasy. Yet now you're invited to take a peek at some of the world's most exclusive real estate. Set in a variety of climates and cultures, these heavenly hideaways boast a range of topographies and vegetation in some of the most beautiful settings on earth. This guide will inspire and amaze you. Islands have always been hidden away along coastlines. Rarely seen, they only became popular as celebrities began to purchase them. Onassis and his island, Marlon Brando with his South Pacific Atoll, Sir Richard Branson's island in the British Virgin Islands, Mel Gibsons acquisition of an island in Fiji - just to name a few. However the idea of private islands being unaffordable and out of reach is not entirely true. Anybody can either rent an island - from as little as $100 per night - or indeed purchase one. In fact, the majority of these islands cost less than a four-bedroom apartment in many large cities in this world.
