Én, Richard király
Egy lebilincselően izgalmas memoár, amely alapján a Richard király című mozifilm készült az Oscar-díjas Will Smith főszereplésével.
Lenyűgöző, inspiráló, könyörtelenül szókimondó - így értékelték az amerikai kritikusok Richard Williams, az üzletember, teniszoktató, édesapa önéletrajzi könyvét, akinek minden idők két legjobb női teniszjátékosát, Venus és Serena Williamset köszönheti a világ.
Az Én, Richard király című könyvben Willams elárulja az olvasóinak, hogy miként nevelt lányaiból klasszis sportolókat. Richardot egész életében bátorságra, magabiztosságra, az elköteleződés, a hit és a szeretet fontosságára tanította édesanyja. Ugyanezen értékeket később ő is tovább adta lányainak, akik ebből erőt merítve egészen különleges felnőtté, és egyúttal fantasztikus sportolókká váltak. A self-made man Williams apuka hosszú és fáradtságos, ám mindemellett hallatlanul izgalmas - és végül rendkívül kifizetődő - életutat járt be, amely során számtalan kihívást leküzdve teremtette meg szerető családját, és nevelte fel a valaha élt legnagyszerűbb teniszezők között számon tartott lányait.
Ez a kötet ezt az utat kelti életre; egy kivételes olvasmány, amelyben mi magunk is átélhetjük egy félelmet nem ismerő ember hihetetlen történetét.

Én kis kertem 2.
Szeretném megosztani a kertészkedés örömét az Én kis kertem könyvsorozatom folytatásával, amely praktikus útmutatóként a házikertek sokszínű világába kalauzolja az olvasót. Az első kötet sikere után úgy döntöttem, hogy bővítem a,,repertoárt", és sorra veszek olyan növényeket is, amelyek az első részből kimaradtak. Így a második kötettel teljesebb lesz a házikertben is könnyedén megtermeszthető növények palettája.
Mindezek mellett kezdő méhészként szerzett tapasztalataimat is megosztom az olvasóval, és hasznos tanácsokat adok a háztáji csirketartáshoz is.
A kertészkedés - legyen szó akár egy apró konyhakertről vagy egy többhektáros területről - mindig örömteli tevékenység, mert csodálatos látni, hogyan kel életre egy apró magból a növény, és semmi mással nem hasonlítható össze az az élmény, amikor a saját munkánk gyümölcsét tehetjük az asztalra. Ezt támasztják alá személyes történeteim is a természethez, a növényekhez fűződő viszonyomról, ami - bízom benne - az olvasóhoz is közelebb hozza a természet csodáját.
Aszódi János kertészmérnök, a könyv szerzője 1990 óta készít televíziós műsorokat, köztük az Új Mezőgazdasági Magazint is (2000 óta az ATV-n). 2006-ban az,,Év Szakújságírójának" választották. 2021-ben jelent meg az Én kis kertem című ismeretterjesztő könyve a kertészkedésről, amelynek nagy sikerét követően most annak folytatását tarthatja kezében.
