Lilibet: The Girl Who Would be Queen
celebration of the life of Queen Elizabeth II, showing us that the Queen's qualities of duty, self-sacrifice and love of country were present in her from an early age.
'The moments in life of "knowing". On Bognor Beach, with Grandpa England, she had "known" that he, and Papa, and she, would carry something on, something given, something bigger than themselves.'
Lilibet: a carefree child, a lover of horses and dogs, devoted to her family. And the girl who would be Queen.
A.N. Wilson, one of England's most beloved writers, imagines the Queen reflecting on her early life. We watch as she discovers, at the tender age of ten, that she is heir to the throne. We witness her meet the dashing Prince Phillip of Greece, who she loved steadfastly from the age of fifteen, and see their friendship blossom into passionate love. Above all, we learn of her astonishing sense of vocation and public duty, which grew during the dark years of WWII and her father's subsequent years of ill health.
Honouring the life of Her Majesty the Queen and her illustrious reign, Lilibet: The Girl Who Would be Queen is by turns funny, tender and heartfelt.
The Man Who Solved the Market
Jim Simons is the greatest moneymaker in modern financial history. His record bests those of legendary investors, including Warren Buffett, George Soros and Ray Dalio. Yet Simons and his strategies are shrouded in mystery. The financial industry has long craved a look inside Simons's secretive hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies and veteran Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman delivers the goods.
After a legendary career as a mathematician and a stint breaking Soviet codes, Simons set out to conquer financial markets with a radical approach. Simons hired physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists - most of whom knew little about finance - to amass piles of data and build algorithms hunting for the deeply hidden patterns in global markets. Experts scoffed, but Simons and his colleagues became some of the richest in the world, their strategy of creating mathematical models and crunching data embraced by almost every industry today.
As Renaissance became a major player in the financial world, its executives began exerting influence on other areas. Simons became a major force in scientific research, education and Democratic politics, funding Hilary Clinton's presidential campaign. While senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump presidency - he placed Steve Bannon in the campaign, funded Trump's victorious 2016 effort and backed alt-right publication Breitbart. Mercer also impacted the success of the Brexit campaign as he made significant investments in Cambridge Anatlytica. For all his prescience, Simons failed to anticipate how Mercer's activity would impact his firm and the world.
In this fast-paced narrative, Zuckerman examines how Simons launched a quantitative revolution on Wall Street, and reveals the impact that Simons, the quiet billionaire king of the quants, has had on worlds well beyond finance.

The Story of the Country House: A History of Places and People
The fascinating story of the evolution of the country house in Britain, from its Roman precursors to the present
The Story of the Country House is an authoritative and vivid account of the British country house, exploring how they have evolved with the changing political and economic landscape. Clive Aslet reveals the captivating stories behind individual houses, their architects, and occupants, and paints a vivid picture of the wider context in which the country house in Britain flourished and subsequently fell into decline before enjoying a renaissance in the twenty-first century. The genesis, style, and purpose of architectural masterpieces such as Hardwick Hall, Hatfield House, and Chatsworth are explored, alongside the numerous country houses lost to war and economic decline. We also meet a cavalcade of characters, owners with all their dynastic obsessions and diverse sources of wealth, and architects such as Inigo Jones, Sir John Vanbrugh, Robert Adam, Sir John Soane and A.W.N. Pugin, who dazzled or in some cases outraged their contemporaries. The Story of the Country House takes a fresh look at this enduringly popular building type, exploring why it continues to hold such fascination for us today.
Among the Meadow People
MANY of these stories of field life were written for the little ones of my kindergarten, and they gave so much pleasure, and aroused such a new interest in "the meadow people," that it has seemed wise to collect and add to the original number and send them out to a larger circle of boys and girls.All mothers and teachers hear the cry for "just one more," and find that there are times when the bewitching tales of animals, fairies, and "really truly" children are all exhausted, and tired imagination will not supply another. In selecting the tiny creatures of field and garden for the characters in this book, I have remembered with pleasure the way in which my loyal pupils befriended stray crickets and grasshoppers, their intense appreciation of the new realm of fancy and observation, and the eagerness and attention with which they sought Mother Nature, the most wonderful and tireless of all story-tellers.

Pani prezidentka Zuzana Čaputová
Ako sa stal Václav Havel pre Čechy "otcom svojej doby", tak je Zuzana Čaputová veľkou nádejou jednej malej a krásnej krajiny. Je doslova šancou, aby sa Slovensko stalo štátom demokratickejším a sociálne spravodlivým. A vo mne prevláda silný aj nezvrátiteľný pocit, že obe menované osobnosti spája, hoci na diaľku, naozaj silná synergia. Keď som mal v roku 2011 krásnu možnosť pána prezidenta navštíviť na jeho Hrádečku, rozprával mi okrem iného o svojom obrovskom sne.
"Vždy som sníval o republike samostatnej, slobodnej, demokratickej, o republike hospodársky prosperujúcej a zároveň sociálne spravodlivej, skrátka o republike ľudskej, ktorá slúži človeku, a preto má nádej, že človek poslúži jej," zapísal som si vtedy.
A je veľmi zaujímavé a nanajvýš zrejmé, že pani Zuzanu spája s Havlom aj toto podobenstvo. A potom tiež vzdelanosť, znalosť literatúry a filozofie, ale napríklad aj uznanie pravdy ako absolútneho základu ľudského konania. Tak ako Václav velebil pravdu a lásku, tak Zuzana už ako študentka hltala čínskeho mudrca Lao-cea. Od neho vie, že pravdivé slová nie sú príjemné a tiež že príjemné slová nemusia byť pravdivé. Napokon, jej životné motto predstavuje výrok veľkého vlastenca a generála Miroslava Rastislava Štefánika: "Pravde veriť, pravdu žiť a pravdu brániť."
Človeku nemôže nenapadnúť: nemala advokátka a aktivistka za právny štát, spravodlivosť a ekológiu Čaputová o demokratickom štáte podobné predstavy ako Havel, renomovaný dramatik a mysliteľ? A nemá ich obzvlášť dnes ako nová prezidentka Slovenska? Domnievam sa, že taká republika je nepochybne aj víziou charizmatickej a súčasne pôvabnej ženy, ktorej pozitívna aura sa postupne rodila v jej domovskom Pezinku.
"Dlho som vôbec zvažovala, nakoniec som sa v januári 2018 k tomuto kroku rozhodla," povedala o svojom vstupe do politiky. "Potom sa navyše stala oná strašná vec, keď zavraždili novinára Jána Kuciaka a jeho snúbenicu, archeologičku Martinu Kušnírovú. Táto udalosť zatriasla celým Slovenskom. Ľudia si povedali, že toto sa nesmie opakovať, že sa ako spoločnosť musíme zmeniť k lepšiemu. Chcem sa na tejto zmene podieľať."
Pokiaľ by som použil zveličenie, Zuzana ako dobrý človek a slušný občan vyrazí do stretu s mocnými a boja proti zlu, ktorého obrazom nie je len diabol v mafiánskom rúchu (Marián Kočner), ale aj časť slovenskej vrchnosti. Ľuďom postupne svitá, že zodpovednosť za reálne zlosti padá na hlavu nedávneho premiéra a jeho "Ficolandu".
Aká je vlastne pani Zuzana? "Dokáže načúvať, má hlboké sociálne cítenie, vie sa vcítiť do roly toho druhého, dokáže ho pochopiť, vie svoj vnem vďaka svojej vzdelanosti analyzovať. Svojimi legislatívnymi znalosťami a skúsenosťami dokáže nájsť riešenia a tie presadzuje a je v tomto konaní veľmi vytrvalá. A spoznal som na vlastné oči jej zmysel pre spravodlivosť aj skutočnosť, že naopak, nespravodlivosť ju ešte viac motivuje," povie mi Marián Šipoš, zástupca primátora Pezinku, ktorý sa s pani Čaputovou podieľal na uzatvorení novej mestskej skládky. Za dlhoročné úsilie bola odmenená prestížnou Goldmanovou environmentálnou cenou a potom prijatá v Bielom dome.
A prečo zvíťazila v prezidentských voľbách? "Mala v samotnej kampani veľkú výhodu. Bola presvedčivá a čo hovorila, to si aj myslí. U ďalších kandidátov ľudia zistili, že nevystupujú práve úprimne, že ich prejavy sú trochu hrané. Skrátka, ako ju osobne poznám, taká skutočne bola, tak vystupovala a hovorila. Jednoducho, sa na nič sa nehrala."
Zuzanu Čaputovú vnímam tiež ako ženu peknú a vysoko elegantnú, skrátka, progresívnu dámu, ktorá má štýl, ale ona sama nejaké ženské hry nehrá. Dobre vie, že svoje poslanie akejsi slovenskej Erin Brockovich - možno si spomeniete na americký film o aktivistke stvárnenej vtedy ešte menej známou hviezdou Juliou Roberts - naplnila a že teraz ju čaká misia omnoho obsažnejšia a náročnejšia. Pozitívne meniť Slovensko vo fungujúci a spravodlivý štát, čo si prajú aj ľudia tejto krásnej krajiny.
"Keď som robila advokátku, bola pre mňa najdôležitejšia služba klientom. Nezaujímalo ma, kto má akú politickú príslušnosť alebo hodnotový svet. Aj teraz sa vnímam tak, že som v službe ľuďom celej krajiny. Prezident však môže byť súčasťou dejov, aby zmeny vôbec nastali. Veľmi som sa pri kampani snažila ľuďom vysvetľovať, bez toho, aby som vzbudzovala plané nádeje a ilúzie, že človek z pozície hlavy štátu nemôže urobiť zázrak a zásadným spôsobom všetko zmeniť. Ale môže byť iniciátorom, motivátorom a spojovateľom ľudí, ktorí si takú zmenu prajú."
Významným impulzom je pre slovenskú prezidentku takisto prestížne medzinárodné ocenenie "Európska osobnosť roka" udeľované za mimoriadne úspechy v oblasti politiky, obchodu a inovácií televíziou Euronews a Európskym obchodným summitom.
Vážené čitateľky, vážení čitatelia, radi vám predkladáme príbeh pozoruhodnej ženy, ktorá túži zmeniť náš svet. PhDr. Petr Čermák
