The Alchemist

The Alchemist

₹108

Like the one-time bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, The Alchemist presents a simple fable, based on simple truths and places it in a highly unique situation. And though we may sniff a bestselling formula, it is certainly not a new one: even the ancient tribal storytellers knew that this is the most successful method of entertaining an audience while slipping in a lesson or two. Brazilian storyteller Paulo Coehlo introduces Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who one night dreams of a distant treasure in the Egyptian pyramids. And so he's off: leaving Spain to literally follow his dream. Along the way he meets many spiritual messengers, who come in unassuming forms such as a camel driver and a well-read Englishman. In one of the Englishman's books, Santiago first learns about the alchemists--men who believed that if a metal were heated for many years, it would free itself of all its individual properties, and what was left would be the "Soul of the World." Of course he does eventually meet an alchemist, and the ensuing student-teacher relationship clarifies much of the boy's misguided agenda, while also emboldening him to stay true to his dreams. "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy confides to the alchemist one night as they look up at a moonless night. "Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself," the alchemist replies. "And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity." --Gail Hudson

Questions are the root cause of success. The more new & authentic questions you will have, the more new & authentic knowledge you will have. Considering this fact, the Department of Education in Biology & Mathematics (DESM) with an aim to improve the quality of teaching/learning process in schools has made an attempt to develop resource books of Exemplar Problems in different subjects at secondary and higher-secondary stage. These specialized resource books named NCERT Exemplars are not meant to serve merely as question banks for examinations but are primarily meant to discourage rote learning. The first and the only books of its kind by Arihant Publications is an attempt at providing comprehensive guide to NCERT Exemplar Problems-Solutions for Class IX to XII. The present book for Class XII Biology contains different types of questions of varying difficulty level. Also detailed explanation for comprehensive understanding has been given for all objective and subjective problems. Some questions covered in the book would require the students to apply simultaneous understanding of more than one chapters/units. The book has been divided into 16 chapters namely Reproduction in Organisms, Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants, Human Reproduction, Reproductive Health, Principle of Inheritance & Variation, Molecular Basis of Inheritance, Evolution, Human Health & Diseases, Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production, Microbes in Human Welfare, Biotechnology: Principles & Processes, Biotechnology & Its Applications, Organisms & Populations, Ecosystem, Biodiversity & Conservation and Environmental Issues.
