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.

Dennis Milne is back!

But he is no longer a policeman, no longer charged with keeping the peace and upholding the law.Although his friends at the King’s Cross station do not know that Milne is back in town, it soon becomes clear that his arrival has been expected by men who are after his blood. Hungry for revenge and determined to uphold his own very rough brand of justice, Milne’s search for the person behind his friend’s death leaves a trail of death and destruction that is more wide-reaching than even he could have expected.From the Hardcover edition.

The Imitation of the Rose
Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith
Thirteen short tales from one of the most blistering and innovative writers of the twentieth century.
The small incidents of life become moments of inner revelation in the luminous writing of Clarice Lispector. A woman contemplating a vase of roses after a nervous breakdown; a tangled mother-daughter relationship; a man's abandonment of a dog; an animal in a zoo: each one leads to mystery and self-discovery, delight and devastation.
Economics of Good and Evil
Tomas Sedlacek proposes no less than a 'humanomics,' a view of our fate in this world of scarcity that takes account of human stories and philosophies. Economists have crippled themselves by their lack of scholarly breadth, and their 'scientific' dis
dain for human words. Sedlacek, who ranges from the epic of Gilgamesh to the movie The Matrix, cannot be accused of lack of breadth. What is most impressive, though, is his depth, drilling down into the soul of economics." -Deirdre McCloskey, author
of Bourgeois Virtues: Ethics for an Age of Commerce and The Cult of Statistical Significance.
"There has long been a profound moral drive in Czech culture, seeking an ever larger view of the human, and trying to break through conceptual barriers to
do so. In this sinewy and marvelous voyage of discovery, Tomas Sedlacek calls us all to think more imaginatively, more fully, and more concretely about economics than we have done for many generations. Many thinkers, including not a few economists, w
ill be stimulated to new explorations by this book." -Michael Novak, author of The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism.
"Economics of Good and Evil is an enchanting tour de force, offering the general public an unusual, erudite, and riveting view of the
world. Scientists and scholars can choose how to read this book: either condemn it for its lack of a rigidly and traditionally scientific approach, or accept it as an invigorating elixir providing inspiration and vision for further study. I take it
as the latter and I am certain the public will too." - Jan Svejnar, Professor of Business, Economics and Public Policy, University of Michigan.
"A widely admired economist who sits on the National Economic Council in Prague radically rethinks his f
ield, challenging assumptions about the business world in this work, a bestseller in the Czech Republic."- Publishers Weekly.

Ismeretlen érzelmek
Milyen ?emlékeid vannak a gyerekkorodból? Szinte mindenki fel tud idézni apróságokat, akadnak pozitív emlékeid, például családi vakációkról, barátokról, nyári táborokról; és negatívak is, családi konfliktusokról, iskolai problémákról, szomorú vagy felkavaró eseményekről. Az Ismeretlen érzelmek nem az ilyenfajta emlékekről szól. A könyv azért született, hogy segítsen tudatára ébredned mindannak, ami nem történt meg a gyerekkorodban és ami ezért hiányzik az életedből. Ami nem történt meg veled, sokszor nagyobb hatással bír arra, hogy milyen felnőtté váltál, mint a már megtörtént események, amiket fel tudsz idézni. Megesik, hogy úgy érzed, nehezen nézel szembe az élet kihívásaival? Úgy teszel, mintha minden rendben lenne, ám titokban magányosnak érzed magad vagy olyan, mintha kezdenéd elveszteni a kapcsolatod a világgal? Bár egy külső szemlélő számára úgy tűnhet, hogy jó életed van, ám ez mégsem tesz önmagában boldoggá? Esetleg túlságosan sokat iszol, eszel vagy kockáztatsz, remélve, hogy így kellemes érzésekhez juthatsz? Ha így van, tudnod kell, hogy egyáltalán nem vagy egyedül ezzel – és lehetséges, hogy te is az érzelmi elhanyagolás hatásaitól szenvedsz. A kezedben tartott útmutató kötet értékes tudást nyújt, és segítségével felismerheted, majd orvosolhatod a gyermekkori érzelmi elhanyagolásod hatásait, így közelebb kerülhetsz önmagadhoz. Dr. Jonice Webb több mint huszonöt éve gyakorló pszichológus, és számos páciensét kezelte már sikeresen, akik mind azért keresték fel, mert úgy érezték, valami hiányzik az életükből. Bár több önsegítő könyv foglalkozik a gyermekkorunkban megélt tapasztalatokkal, az Ismeretlen érzelmek című kötet lapjain Dr. Webb éppen arról ír, ami „nem történt meg”. E könyv nem kizárólag az érzelmi elhanyagolástól szenvedők számára íródott. A mentálhigiénés szakembereknek is külön fejezetet és eszközöket tartalmaz, azokhoz a páciensekhez, akik önmaguk felé nem kellő együttérzést tanúsítanak, és ezzel a legjobb kezelést is aláásták eddig.

When: The Scientific Secrets Of Perfect Timing
The instant New York Times Bestseller
#1 Wall Street Journal Business Bestseller
Instant Washington Post Bestseller
"Brims with a surprising amount of insight and practical advice." --The Wall Street Journal
Daniel H. Pink, the #1 bestselling author of Drive and To Sell Is Human, unlocks the scientific secrets to good timing to help you flourish at work, at school, and at home.
Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork.
Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science.
Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed. How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married?
In When, Pink distills cutting-edge research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.
