Hi!

I am an aspirant of giving the CSS examination this coming year. I am following a few books but still I am not completely satisfied, so would really love to get some recommendations for the following subjects.

1. Everyday Science.
2. Islamiyat (English)
3. Current Affairs and Pakistan Affairs
4. International Relations
5. History of USA
6. Criminology
7. Business Administration
8. Environmental Sciences

Thanks in Advance!

For everyday science kashmiris book is best, for islamiat dont depend on a single book islamic ideology by anwer hashmi and islam its meaning and message are good. For pakistan affairs ikram rabbani's book is good plus mutaliya pakistan by abdul qadir. For business ad. Mehvish moaz book is suggested. For american history get maujamdar's book.

I can suggest for Business Ad.

It has 5-6 different portions which are not really related to each other. So different books may be required for each of them. Here is my textbook recommendation:

1) Management:Robbins
2) Marketing: Kotler
3) Financial Management: Van Horne

I skipped HRM and supply chain plus operations management. Four questions can be attempted by focusing on the recommend topics.

B. Ad has a vast syllabus. May only be opted if one has some background in it or has Accounting as one of the optionals because Accounting and B. Ad overlap. However, it does have an above average scoring potential.

Alright, thank you so much.

Pakistan Affairs: Ikram Rabbani for Post partition and Trek to Pakistan for pre-partition. You can also use any other book for pre-partition instead of Trek ,that is, Struggle for Pakistan or another book having Pakistani flag on it (i don't remember its name , it has got material in form of questions answers and commonly its known as ''jhanday wali book'' :P).

International Relations: Goldstien , Prakash Chandra , Globalization of World politics , World Politics by Kegley , International relations by Ikram rabbani etc. Select any one book from them and go through it .

Islamiat by Hafiz Karam Dad Chugtai . It is important to learn by heart some of the verses of Quran and sayings of Prophet pbuh . This book works good for these things.

EDS by Mian Shafiq (JWT) . I think this one is enough .

Current Affairs : Well , read dawn and with it notes of Kips academy or Jahangir world times academy . I think these notes will be available in December. With it , you can read economist too . And , JWT's magazine named World times . There is another good magazine with a name of Global affairs .

Environmental science: There is a book published by Jahangir world times , it has got a DVD in it too . Syllabus of environmental science is lengthy as compared to other subjects of 100 marks , and seeing this vast syllabus i think this book has done justice to it and author has covered all topics in 300 to 350 pages.

For criminology and USA history , you can search the respective threads . I am sharing a link of some notes regarding USA history , this is by one of the forum members Naveed Bhutto . I hope these notes will suffice for this subject . Otherwise check other threads
