Market Wizards: The Next Generation
Market Wizards: The Next Generation continues in the three-decade tradition of the hugely popular Market Wizards series, interviewing exceptionally successful traders to learn how they achieved their extraordinary performance results.
The twist in this latest instalment is that the featured traders have the youngest average age of any book in the series. Despite their relative youth, these traders have achieved performance records that rank among the very best Market Wizards of all time.
The stories include:
A musician who dropped out of school to pursue a trading career and whose current cumulative profits total nearly $500 million.
A security guard turned trader who parlayed $5,000 into over $100 million in under 12 years.
A volunteer firefighter who has not had a single losing month in over 10 years of trading.
World-renowned author and trading expert Jack D. Schwager joins forces with seasoned money manager and trading historian George F. Coyle to uncover the secrets of today's top traders. Their knowledgeable and incisive interview style encourages the Wizards to reveal the fascinating details of their training, experience, tactics, and strategies, as well as their best and worst trades. There are dashes of humour and revelations about the human side of trading throughout.
The result is an engrossing new collection of trading wisdom, brimming with insights that can help all traders improve their trading process.
A Day in the Life of a Gladiator
In ancient Rome, a single day could decide a gladiator's fate. Follow in their footsteps with bestselling author Harry Sidebottom.
Take a seat at the feast on the eve of the games and watch as the men marked for combat enjoy their final meal.
At dawn, Roman citizens rush to the Colosseum to see the spectacles: wild-beast hunts, public executions and carefully choreographed violence - all part of a good day's entertainment.
Watch as the gladiators enter the arena - armour gleaming, shields locked, they step into the light, fighting not just for survival but for the favour of the crowd.
Gripping, immersive and grounded in ancient sources, A Day in the Life of a Gladiator illuminates the reality of Roman life and death in all its glory. This is history as it happened - not in the marble halls of emperors, but on the blood-darkened sand of the arena.
Previously published in hardback as Those Who Are About to Die.
80/20 Beliefs
Discover how changing a few core beliefs can transform your life and provide last happiness.
In his million-copy bestseller, THE 80/20 PRINCIPLE, Richard Koch showed readers how to take advantage of the simple fact that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts. In 80/20 BELIEFS, he shows how just a few core beliefs - often unconscious yet profoundly influential - shape our lives, happiness and success.
By identifying and examining the 'toxic' beliefs that cause unnecessary stress and shaping them into good beliefs that foster resilience and joy, we can enjoy a life of greater fulfilment.
A Tisza áradása
A kötet Hann Endre ajánlásával jelenik meg.
Ez a könyv nem utólag magyaráz. Ez a könyv ott volt. 2024 februárjában egyetlen, akkor még értelmezhetetlen lépéssel indult az egész. Egy ismeretlen arc a képernyőn, egy mondat, ami más volt, mint a többi. Bojár Iván András, aki a Magyar Narancs című híres hetilap első főszerkesztője volt, végzettsége szerint művészettörténész, jelenleg ismert író és véleményformáló közéleti személyiség. Ösztönből fordult a klaviatúrához, ahogy évtizedek óta teszi, ha a történelem szaga érződik a levegőben. Nem hitt, nem remélt. Csak figyelt. Jegyzetelt. Mérlegelt. Túl sokszor látta már, hogyan fullad keserűségbe, hogyan bénul meg minden demokratikus kísérlet. De Magyar Péter, majd a nyomában felnövekedő Tisza nem állt meg. Hétről hétre, hónapról hónapra hömpölygött, és vitte magával az országot. Meg a szerzőt. Hűvös megfigyelőből előbb döbbent tanú lett, aztán dühös résztvevő, végül a rendszerváltás lelkes krónikása. A naplóval együtt változott ő is: a távolságtartásból hit lett, a kételyből sürgetés, a jegyzetelésből kiáltvány. Két éven át, napról napra követheti, hogyan reped meg egy betonnak hitt rendszer. Ott lesz a Kossuth téren, amikor először kimondják: győzhetünk. Ott lesz a vidéki roadshow-kon, ahol egy ország tanul meg újra remélni. Ott lesz a szerkesztőségben, a családi asztalnál, az éjszakai vitákban, ahol eldől, hogy ez most tényleg más lesz. És ott lesz azon a tavaszi estén, amikor a kivetítőn felizzik a mondat, amire 16 éve várunk: „Orbán Viktor gratulált Magyar Péternek”. Ez a könyv nem politológusi elemzés, nem memoár, nem történelemkönyv. Ez maga a történelem, ahogy történik. Nincs benne utólagos bölcsesség, nincs kozmetika. Ami bizonytalan volt, az a lapokon is bizonytalan. Ami felemelő volt, az ma is felemel. Újra élheti a pillanatot, amikor egy ország visszakapta a jövőjét. A TISZA ÁRADÁSA nem csak elmeséli a rendszerváltást. Belöki a közepébe, és amikor leteszi, már tudni fogja: 2026 áprilisa nem egy folyamat vége volt, hanem a kezdet

The Next China is Still China
Both a revelatory, insight-filled playbook for doing business in China and a probing look at why the country, despite the challenges it faces, still possesses unrivaled prospects for growth and entrepreneurial opportunity-by two leaders who, over the course of decades, have taken turns helming McKinsey's China-based management consulting.
In just forty years, China has transformed from a closed economy into a global powerhouse. Riding the tailwinds of its massive labor supply, aggressive infrastructure investment, and ingrained work ethic, the nation became a haven of opportunity. However, more recently, shifting demographics, less torrid growth, and an increasingly complex geopolitical environment have caused some to wonder: Where lies the next China? The authors of this book have a bold and unequivocal answer: the next China is still China.
There is no substitute for the Chinese market. China accounts for a staggering 30% of global manufacturing and 18% of global GDP, surpassing the European Union and trailing only the United States. With nearly five million STEM graduates each year (more than the total number of US degree graduates across all fields!), China is well-positioned in an era of technological automation, artificial intelligence, and data-powered innovation. However, the strategies that once propelled businesses to success in China are no longer sufficient. A new playbook is needed.
The Next China Is Still China will answer a range of provocative questions, including:
* Will China with its aging population fall into a Japan-style stagnation, or can it maintain its superpower trajectory?
* What is exciting about the country's vaunted "China speed," and how can multinationals continue leveraging it for outsized profits?
* What is the key to pleasing China's "hyper-switching" consumers who have little brand loyalty?
* Amid rising nationalism and geopolitical risk, should global firms rethink their China presence or, instead, double down?
* As America's tech giants make massive investment in AI, can China's fast-adapting innovation ecosystem keep up?
The Next China Is Still China upends conventional wisdom, providing fresh actionable strategies for winning in the years ahead.
The Romans
The definitive history of Rome and its citizens.
Rome is often remembered for its spectacular collapse. Yet for more than two thousand years - through civil wars, plagues, invasions and religious upheaval - the Roman state survived, adapted and reinvented itself. From a muddy settlement on the banks of the Tiber to the glittering court of Constantinople, this is the sweeping, untold story of a civilisation that refused to fall.
The Romans tells the first truly complete history of Rome in all its epic scale: the Punic Wars, the fall of the republic to the rise of Christianity, Alaric's sack of Rome, the emergence of Islam and the Crusades that would ultimately bring the empire to an end. It is also the story of diverse men and women who shaped the empire: African emperors, Byzantine intellectuals, and ordinary citizens whose loyalty together made it the most resilient state the world has ever seen.
How To Try Again
The personal development book for people who don't have time for personal development.
Some people wake up at 4 a.m., run 15 miles barefoot and have an ice bath. This book is for the rest of us.
Let's start with the good news: despite what your brain might tell you, you are not a failure. You are a human who has failed at something. Life is messy, unexpected and can surprise us at the worst possible time.
In How to Try Again, Steve Kamb gives you permission to be imperfect and ditch the 'tough love' (which doesn't work) and still get things done. Drawing from his seventeen years of experience helping busy people transform their lives at Nerd Fitness, Kamb seamlessly blends philosophy, psychology, real-life stories and hilarious insights from pop culture to help you confidently navigate life's chaos.
In this practical and humorous guide, you'll learn how to:
Embrace failure as the first step, not the last.
Escape the 'Doom Loop' and finally break free.
Strategically tread water when overwhelmed.
Pick the right 'thing' to try next and follow through.
This book isn't for the superhuman few; it's for anyone who has struggled with consistency and has felt like they're never going to be able to change. The overworked parents, burned-out employees and frustrated people who can't seem to make progress.
It's time to stop feeling less than and start making changes that stick - without the guilt.
Filozofie důkazního práva
Lze pravděpodobnost skutkového stavu matematicky vyjádřit? Jaké jsou principy skutkové argumentace a zdůvodňování důkazů? A jakou roli v tom hraje právo na spravedlivý proces?
Monografie je volným pokračováním autorova knižního debutu Hledání pravdy v civilním procesu (Wolters Kluwer, 2020). Tentokrát se soustředí na otázku, co je správné důkazní právo. Na právněfilozofická pojednání navazují kapitoly o skutkové argumentaci, principech odůvodňování skutkových zjištění a o ústavněprávním rozměru dokazování. Autor s podporou bohaté zahraniční literatury ukazuje, že dokazování lze primárně vnímat jako epistemologický fenomén, který zákon až sekundárně reflektuje. Výsledkem je nová teorie správnosti důkazu, která originálně začleňuje teorie pravděpodobnosti do zjišťování skutkového stavu.
„Kniha Viktora Gazdy je hodnotnou, přínosnou publikací. Je apelem na nutnost vybudování hlubších filozoficko-teoretických základů důkazního práva. Zároveň je napsána čtivým, poutavým stylem. Představuje odborný přínos v oborech obecné teorie práva i práva procesního a má všechny předpoklady stát se rovněž zajímavým titulem pro studenty právnických fakult i pro kolegy z právní praxe, zajímající se o teoretické otázky oboru.“
This is Fascism
Fascism is back. This time no swastikas, Nazi flags, or deadly bureaucracy, but MAGA hats, right-wing extremist memes, and a triumphant fist held high. For the first time in modern history, far right parties in some European countries have won a larger share of the votes than the Conservatives and the Social Democrats.
Fascism hollows out democracies from within. It starts with language, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup.
But how do fascists mobilise citizens? How has fascism become normalised in Europe again? And how do we stop it?
Dítě s chováním náročným na péči
Odbornice v oblasti rodičovství a neurověd Robyn Gobbel říká, že ať je chování dítěte sebevíce matoucí a nepředvídatelné, je vždy možné ho vysvětlit a usměrnit. Je jen třeba zamyslet se nad tím, co se stalo před tím, a pochopit, co se v dítěti děje. Využívá aktuálních poznatků z oblasti neurověd a snaží se rodiče i pedagogy dětí s nepředvídatelným a matoucím chováním dovést k pochopení toho, co se jim dítě snaží sdělit. Autorka průběžně apeluje na nutnost zachování bezpečí pro všechny, tedy pro dítě i jeho okolí.
Nepředvídatelné, matoucí a nesrozumitelné chování bývá často nebezpečné, děti poškozují sebe samé, vrhají se do riskantních situací, což se mnohde stáje ještě řeší medikací a omezujícími prostředky. Do jaké míry je jisté omezení nutné? A co dělat pro to, abychom po něm museli sáhnout pouze v opravdu výjimečných situacích? Toto chování často provází děti s hlubší poruchou autistického spektra, s mentální retardací a někdy se týká i dětí s metabolickými vadami. A samozřejmě je problémem i u dětí s vývojovou poruchou chování.
Ač se kniha zabývá závažným problémem, nepostrádá jistou míru nadsázky a nadhledu a vede k pozitivnímu vnímání dítěte, k tomu, aby jej rodiče a pedagogové viděli jako celého člověka a ne pouze jako soubor (náročných) symptomů.
Feminism in Africa
Raising feminist concerns about the struggles of African women amid debates surrounding the socio-cultural, economic and political future of Africa remains an immense challenge. Fatou Sow, the renowned Senegalese feminist activist and academic, illustrates here her own journey through a continuously developing global discourse. Her fundamental aim is to demonstrate the emergence and development of women's and feminist studies in Africa, highlighting its achievements, failures and, most importantly, its complexity. She argues that it is crucial to examine the influence of the patriarchy in light of Africa's historical matriarchal systems, which form the basis of the continent's social structures. Feminist research must also evaluate how gender intersects with age, class, ethnicity, caste, race and religious disparities, among other inequalities prevalent on the continent. As an African feminist, rooted in her African context and cultures, Sow is compelled to analyze conflicting realities, transformations and contradictions, as well as the complex contributions that are specific to different times and places. African cultures are not just relics of struggles against a colonial West, a West defined by domination. These cultures are primarily memories and living spaces that are deconstructed and reinvented daily, at every moment, with each generation, marked by triumphs and defeats.
The Wounded Church
Confronting racism, sexism, and clericalism in Catholic life and inviting real conversion and justiceIn The Wounded Church, theologian Annie Selak argues that the Catholic Church must confront its own injuries in order to credibly be the Church. Using a feminist framework, she develops a new ecclesiology around three wounds, racism, sexism, and clericalism, that actively harm the Body of Christ and distort its witness. Attentive to history, pastoral practice, and lived experience, Selak shows how each wound is both inflicted by the Church and borne within the Church. She offers the resurrected body of Jesus, scarred yet no longer bleeding, as a guiding metaphor for ecclesial renewal, a body that does not deny its wounds but is transformed through them. Drawing on Karl Rahner, she grounds hope in the reign of God while insisting on concrete institutional and spiritual conversion. Written for students and scholars, ministers and lay leaders, The Wounded Church uncovers overlooked histories tied to racism, sexism, and the clergy sexual abuse crisis, and proposes clear theological principles for reform. The result is a constructive, pastorally engaged vision that tells the truth about harm and imagines credible paths toward change, accountability, and justice.
What is Philosophy of Language?
Language is a major part of what makes us human. We effortlessly attach meaning to sounds and marks, in themselves meaningless, to convey to one another our beliefs, desires, intentions, and other states of mind. How is this amazing feat possibl? laudine Verheggen introduces readers to the fascinating study of language from a philosophical perspective. She sheds light on the nature of linguistic meaning by investigating two broad categories of questions: one concerns the relation between meaning and the extra-linguistic reality language users talk about, the other concerns the relation between meaning and facts about language users themselves. Verheggen explores the views of prominent philosophers and lays the foundations that help us to address questions in an array of other subdisciplines to which philosophy of language is relevant, from psychology to political theory. Throughout, she pays special attention to the many different ways in which words are used, asking whether language is fundamentally a social phenomenon and whether conventions are essential to it. Lively and accessible, built on a strong narrative structure, What is Philosophy of Language? is a key resource for any philosophy student or philosophically minded person with a passion for language.
Saving African Nature
During the colonization of Africa, European colonists set about creating game reserves in Africa, convinced that they would find in Africa a nature that no longer existed in Europe. After independence, and with the help of UNESCO and the WWF, African leaders continued to 'protect' the same nature, a nature that the whole world wanted to be pristine, wild and without humans – a timeless Garden of Eden. The consequences of this story are well known: millions of Africans were expelled from the land on which they had lived for generations. But how did this happen? Who organized this continuity between the colonial era and the era of independence? Guillaume Blanc answers these questions by immersing himself at the heart of a strange global ecological mission, launched in 1961: the 'African Special Project'. He tells the story of this project by bringing to life four worlds: the world of gentleman experts who saw Africa as the world's last natural refuge; the world of East African colonists who were retraining as international experts; the world of African leaders who sought to control their peoples while satisfying the demands of their Western partners; and finally, the world of local farmers and their families living on the land who were forced to adapt or abandon their homes. These men do not speak of the same nature, but step by step, their worlds draw closer together until they meet – and this is where violence erupts. This impressive book lays bare the violence inherent in the creation of African game reserves and national parks and documents a hidden dimension of colonialism and its legacies.
Speed
Prepare to view the world through a new lens - SPEED - a groundbreaking exploration that challenges your perceptions of life's driving force, from the internationally bestselling author
'There is perhaps no other academic who paints pictures with numbers like Smil' Guardian
In a world that feels like it's moving faster than ever, Smil examines how our relentless pursuit of speed - in areas such as production, travel and communication - shapes not only our technological landscape but also our social and environmental realities. And through engaging anecdotes and striking statistics, Smil challenges the assumption that faster is always better.
He invites readers to reconsider the implications of our collective obsession with speed, and its intricate relationship with nature and innovation. For example, he highlights the surprising fact that erosion can actually accelerate mountain growth, and he points out that the rapid adoption of mobile phones - achieving 90 per cent penetration in just nineteen years - reflects historical patterns of technological adoption, suggesting that our world may not be moving significantly faster than in the past.
Whether exploring the tiny mites that can traverse 300 times their body length in a second or the societal impacts of high-frequency trading, Speed invites readers to engage in a more balanced conversation about the role of speed in our lives, in an age defined by haste.
Churchill and the Crown
The story of Winston Churchill's long relationship with the Crown—from radical liberal under Edward VII to his last premiership as an old man under the young Queen Elizabeth II. Winston Churchill was born in a palace and was given a funeral worthy of a king. His family had enjoyed an intimate association with the British monarchy stretching back centuries. As King Edward VIII said of him, 'I have never met anyone of royal blood who exemplified in such high degree the ideal of the 'good king.' Churchill and the Crown tells the story of Churchill's relationship with the various kings and queens he served during his long political career, from young journalist under Edward VII, through his dramatic fall from grace in the First World War under George V, the frustrations of appeasement during the interwar period and his relationship with Edward VIII during the abdication crisis of 1936, culminating in his Finest Hour in the Second World War under George VI and the coda of Churchill's public service to his final monarch: Queen Elizabeth II. Ted Powell analyses Churchill's writings on monarchy and his role in preserving and establishing monarchies outside Britain. At the core of the book is a series of studies of Churchill's relationships with the monarchs he served. These studies offer a two-way perspective, examining both Churchill's view of individual monarchs and their attitudes towards him. They shed light not only on Churchill's career but also on the changing role of the monarchy in 20th century Britain.
The Sanctuaries and Cults of Demeter in Asia Minor and the Islands off Its Western Coast
At least twenty-two sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore in Asia Minor and the islands off the western coast are attested by archaeological evidence. More than 272 epigraphic sources, nearly all of which are translated and discussed in this study, further document the cults of both goddesses in these regions. This monograph is the first study to draw on such a substantial body of material in order to demonstrate the cultic connections between cities in the Greek East and other parts of the Greek world. The archaeological and written sources provide insight into both regional and Pan-Hellenic features of the sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore, including their architectural layouts, the iconography of votive offerings, festivals, rituals, and the development of these practices over time. In assessing these regional and Pan-Hellenic characteristics, the analysis draws on the full range of archaeological and written evidence from across the Greek world. The available evidence indicates that the cults and sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore in the Greek East largely retained Greek characteristics; however, in certain regions, such as Caria, their cults were partially shaped by indigenous religious traditions. Despite Greek and later Roman hegemony, the cult of Demeter in other parts of Asia Minor, beyond western Asia Minor, was unable to supplant the cult of Cybele and other local chthonic fertility deities.
