A New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestseller The importance of money in our lives is readily apparent to everyone--rich, poor, and in between. However grudgingly, most of us accept the expression "Money makes the world go round" as a universal truth. We are all aware of the power of money--how it influences our moods, compels us to take risks, and serves as the yardstick of success in societies around the world. Yet because we take the daily reality of money so completely for granted, we seldom question how and why it has come to play such a central role in our lives. In Coined: The Rich Life of Money And How Its History Has Shaped Us, author Kabir Sehgal casts aside our workaday assumptions about money and takes the reader on a global quest to uncover a deeper understanding of the relationship between money and humankind. More than a mere history of its subject, Coined probes the conceptual origins and evolution of money by examining it through the multiple lenses of disciplines as varied as biology, psychology, anthropology, and theology. Coined is not only a profoundly informative discussion of the concept of money, but it is also an endlessly fascinating and entertaining take on the nature of humanity and the inner workings of the mind.

Product Description From New York Times bestselling authors Kabir Sehgal and Surishtha Sehgal comes a charming and brightly illustrated spin on classic nursery rhymes that celebrates rich Indian culture and introduces Hindi vocabulary.Mother Goose takes a trip to India in this unique collection of nursery rhymes with a distinctly Indian flair. This little sooar (pig) goes to the bazaar. Little Miss Muffet eats dahi (yogurt) until a makadee (spider) scares her away. Little Jack Horner eats Diwali sweets. Rhymes and characters that are familiar to young readers bring to life the beauty, wonder, and diversity of a vast and vibrant country in a way that is accessible and fun. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2—Mother Goose gets a whole new look in this vibrant retelling of some of her most famous rhymes. Set in rural India, these childhood standards get a South Asian makeover, complete with new foods, characters, and locations, as well as some new rhymes. In "Jai Be Nimble," Jai is told to "be free" and jump over "the momabatee" or candle. Instead of three little piggies heading to market, readers will see three "sooar," or pigs, going to the bazaar. Colorful and energetic, the illustrations serve as an introduction to rural India, providing a unique view of some traditional art, architecture, and clothing. In order to include cultural references as well as maintain the essence of each story, near rhymes are used more often than in the originals. This, however, does not detract from the overall appeal, look, or message of the retellings. Pronunciation guides and descriptions of Hindi words are a useful bridge for some readers; it's a delight to see these cherished stories cast in a new light, one that is more global and inclusive. VERDICT A must-have for poetry collections, this will find multiple uses by educators and anyone seeking a new approach to these classic tales.—Louie Lauer About the Author Kabir Sehgal started his class newspaper in second grade and has been writing ever since.
