Chronicles of a Million Dollar Trader - My Road, Valleys, and Peaks to Final Trading Victory John Wiley & Sons Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Praise for Chronicles of a Million Dollar Trader "Focus, tenacity, self-analysis, and intensity. Don Miller conveys the essence of trading in such a compelling and down-to-earth manner - the reader literally eats, sleeps, and breathes Don's moments of triumph and exhaustion. Don clearly nails the most pertinent points in this business: add to your position when you have a strong hand, fight to dig yourself out of the inevitable abyss, and don't trade when you are tired. This book is what professional trading is Truly about!" (Linda Raschke, President, LBRGroup, Inc). "My career as a broker with some of the largest futures brokerages in the world has put me in a unique position to evaluate traders. I've been able to observe many of the best futures traders in the industry over the past twenty years. And what I can state with certainty is that Don Miller is one of, if not the, best futures traders I've seen. Great traders are able to recognize and adapt to changing market environments. They take their mistakes and use them to become better traders. Great traders possess the unique discipline to manage a losing trade as well as a winning one.These are the qualities I have witnessed Don Miller master. The fact that Don has agreed to share his experiences and insights makes this book an invaluable doctrine to all traders and investors alike." (Patrick Lafferty, President, Capital Trading Group). "I've had the good fortune of watching Don Miller trade profitably in front a live group of full-time traders over a two-day period of time. The methods Don teaches are solid, and more importantly, as you will see here in his book, they've been consistently successful. This book goes further than most trading books because you get to live with Don day by day, seeing both his actual trading along with his mind frame. If you want to learn from someone who has mastered day trading, and has successfully done so for years, then this book is must reading. Highly recommended!"(Larry Connors, founder, TradingMarkets.com; author of How Markets Really Work). "I have personally seen Don trade for several years, and he is candidly one of the best. His book is enlightening and helpful in understanding the mindset of a successful trader." (Steve Demarest, President, MB Trading). "A true story of sacrifice, hardship, and success.Don Miller shares his story to make $1 million in one year in real time, real trading records, and real life." (James L. Koutoulas, Esq., CEO, Typhon).

Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine Random House USA Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A New York Times Bestseller!A never-before-published, previously unfinished Mark Twain children's story is brought to life by Philip and Erin Stead, creators of the Caldecott Medal-winning A Sick Day for Amos McGee.In a hotel in Paris one evening in 1879, Mark Twain sat with his young daughters, who begged their father for a story. Twain began telling them the tale of Johnny, a poor boy in possession of some magical seeds. Later, Twain would jot down some rough notes about the story, but the tale was left unfinished . . . until now.Plucked from the Mark Twain archive at the University of California at Berkeley, Twain's notes now form the foundation of a fairy tale picked up over a century later. With only Twain's fragmentary script and a story that stops partway as his guide, author Philip Stead has written a tale that imagines what might have been if Twain had fully realized this work.Johnny, forlorn and alone except for his pet chicken, meets a kind woman who gives him seeds that change his fortune, allowing him to speak with animals and sending him on a quest to rescue a stolen prince. In the face of a bullying tyrant king, Johnny and his animal friends come to understand that generosity, empathy, and quiet courage are gifts more precious in this world than power and gold.Illuminated by Erin Stead's graceful, humorous, and achingly poignant artwork, this is a story that reaches through time and brings us a new book from America's most legendary writer, envisioned by two of today's most important names in children's literature."will capture the imaginations of readers of all ages"-USA Today,

Israel: A Concise History of a Nation Reborn HarperCollins Publishers Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The first comprehensive yet accessible history of the state of Israel from its inception to present day, from Daniel Gordis, "one of the most respected Israel analysts" ( The Forward ) living and writing in Jerusalem.Israel is a tiny state, and yet it has captured the world's attention, aroused its imagination, and lately, been the object of its opprobrium. Why does such a small country speak to so many global concerns? More pressingly: Why does Israel make the decisions it does? And what lies in its future?We cannot answer these questions until we understand Israel's people and the questions and conflicts, the hopes and desires, that have animated their conversations and actions. Though Israel's history is rife with conflict, these conflicts do not fully communicate the spirit of Israel and its people: they give short shrift to the dream that gave birth to the state, and to the vision for the Jewish people that was at its core. Guiding us through the milestones of Israeli history, Gordis relays the drama of the Jewish people's story and the creation of the state. Clear-eyed and erudite, he illustrates how Israel became a cultural, economic and military powerhouse-but also explains where Israel made grave mistakes and traces the long history of Israel's deepening isolation.With Israel , public intellectual Daniel Gordis offers us a brief but thorough account of the cultural, economic, and political history of this complex nation, from its beginnings to the present. Accessible, levelheaded, and rigorous, Israel sheds light on the Israel's past so we can understand its future. The result is a vivid portrait of a people, and a nation, reborn.

Historia de una gaviota y del gato que le enseno a volar Tusquets Editores

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Luis Sepúlveda, whom the Spanish-speaking public already knows well, has two very young children, whom he calls "my dwarfs" and whom he promised one day to write a story about how poorly we humans manage our own environment, damaging the nature, which gives us so many benefits, and in the process hurting ourselves without mercy. Thus was born Story of a seagull and the cat that taught him to fly, which tells the adventures of Zorbas, a "big, black and fat" cat, whose unbreakable sense of honor leads him one day to commit to raising a seagull chick. His mother, a beautiful seagull, trapped by a wave of oil spilled into the sea by a stranded ship, leaves Zorbas as a pledge, just before dying, the egg that he has just laid. Zorbas, who is a cat by word of mouth, will fulfill his two promises: he will not only raise the chick, but he will also teach it to fly. Zorbas's friends, Secretary, Know-it-all, Barlovento and Colonello, will help him in a task that, as will be seen, is not as easy as it seems, and even less so for a band of cats more accustomed to facing the harsh life in a port like that of Hamburg than to act as parents to a baby seagull...Initially intended as a story for "dwarves", Story of a Seagull and the Cat that Taught It to Fly is actually addressed to all those who, young or old, Not only do they enjoy well-told stories that stimulate imagination and ingenuity, but, at the same time, they learn to see the world from a different perspective, knowing it better and, therefore, loving and caring for it more intelligently.

To Lose a Battle Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"To Lose a Battle: France 1940" is the final book of Alistair Horne's trilogy, which includes "The Fall of Paris" and "The Price of Glory" and tells the story of the great crises of the rivalry between France and Germany. In 1940 Hitler sent his troops to execute the Fall of France. A six-week battle with lightning 'blitzkrieg' warfare and combined operations techniques, the offensive ended the Phony War and sent the French forces reeling as their government fled from occupied Paris. For the Axis, it was a dramatic victory. But how was this spectacular result possible? In "To Lose a Battle" Alistair Horne tells the day-by-day, moment-by-moment story of the battle, sifted from the vast Nazi archives and the fragmentary records of the beaten Allies. Using eye-witness accounts of battle operations and personal memoirs of leading figures on both sides, this book steps far beyond the confines of military accounts to form a major contribution to our understanding of this important period in European history. "Alistair Horne really brings home the pathos and human folly of war, and he writes brilliantly". ("The Times"). "Horne follows his line unfalteringly.All the details are there: the small, fleeting triumphs, the greater disasters, the bravery, the cowardice, the stupidity and the intelligence ...that make war so fascinating and so terrible". ("Economist"). "Horne completes his masterly trilogy ...the definitive account of one of the most efficient and astonishing campaigns of all time". ("The Times Literary Supplement"). One of Britain's greatest historians, Sir Alistair Horne, CBE, is the author of a trilogy on the rivalry between France and Germany, "The Price of Glory", "The Fall of Paris" and "To Lose a Battle", as well as a two-volume life of Harold Macmillan.
