Nadel L: The Dunnes Dynasty

The Dunnes Dynasty

The Secret History of Ireland's Most Iconic Store

Les "Confessions d'un ouvrier" d'Émile Souvestre présentent les mémoires fictifs de Pierre Henri, un maçon surnommé La Rigueur. L'oeuvre relate son enfance modeste dans le faubourg parisien, son apprentissage, ses épreuves familiales (décès de sa soeur, accident mortel de son père), et son ascension sociale grâce à son travail et son honnêteté. Le récit met en lumière les valeurs du travail manuel, de la persévérance et de la probité, tout en offrant un aperçu des conditions de vie des classes populaires au XIXe siècle. L'intervention d'un ingénieur, ami de Pierre Henri, et les commentaires du fils de ce dernier, ouvrier-poète, enrichissent le texte de réflexions sur le progrès social et la condition ouvrière. Le récit culmine avec la description de la vie de Pierre Henri devenu entrepreneur, ses difficultés financières temporaires, et la réussite finale de ses enfants.

"The tension between what the market is doing and what, by the author’s lights, it ought to be doing, will keep investment-minded readers turning these smart and accessible pages….[A] fine and essential work.”—James Grant, The Wall Street JournalFrom the renowned iconoclast investor comes a brilliant account of sixty years spent hunting for value and sidestepping bubbles in a changing financial worldWhen Jeremy Grantham entered the investment business in the 1960s, he brought the thrifty Quaker values and Yorkshire independence he had been raised with. While other money managers were focused on blue chip stocks, he studied stock market history and constructed by hand the first indices for small-cap and value stocks. Charting their ebb and flow, he could see clearly the powerful force that would become central to his investment philosophy: mean reversion, “the heartbreaking principle that good times always revert back to more boring, more ordinary times.”In the early 1970s Grantham was a pioneer of index investing. Soon after, he co-founded GMO and spent the firm’s early earnings on a hard drive the size of an industrial washing machine, becoming the first firm to use a computer for investment analysis. This quantitative style went on to take over the industry. In the late 1990s Grantham acquired notoriety as a “permabear” for refusing to buy into the dotcom mania. Clients left in droves—one called him “dangerously persuasive and totally wrong”—but he was vindicated when the bubble burst in 2000. Yet while his wealth grew, so did his alarm at the disastrous consequences of short-term thinking not just for investors but for the very future of the planet, and he has directed nearly all his wealth to environmental protection.Written with his former colleague, the bestselling financial historian Edward Chancellor, The Making of a Permabear is replete with investment insights and provides a compellingly candid and witty insider’s tour of the booms and busts of the past half century.

Leadership is rarely defined by titles or authority. It is shaped in moments of pressure, uncertainty, and responsibility for others. In The Art of Elevating Others, hospitality executive Thomas Lind reflects on the experiences that shaped his leadership philosophy while guiding teams in some of the world's most demanding hospitality environments--from Bangkok and Caracas to Riyadh, Chicago, Mexico, and India. Drawing on a global career that includes senior leadership roles with Four Seasons and other internationally recognized luxury hotel brands, Lind shares personal stories and observations from the front lines of leadership. These reflections reveal how culture, humility, accountability, and service shape both great organizations and the people who lead them. Rather than offering formulas or management theory, this book presents thoughtful reflections drawn from real-world leadership moments--many of them challenging, unexpected, and deeply human. In this brief but impactful book, readers will discover insights on: - Building trust across cultures and teams - Leading with calm and clarity during uncertainty - Creating environments where people can thrive &gt;The Art of Elevating Others is a reflective and practical look at leadership through the lens of hospitality--an industry where the standard for service, teamwork, and excellence is among the highest in the world.

Als Annette Dittert am 31. Januar 2020 um Mitternacht vor der Downing Street stand, um live in den ARD-Tagesthemen darüber zu berichten, dass der Brexit in dieser Nacht nun endgültig vollzogen sei, schossen ihr kurz vor der Schalte plötzlich Tränen in die Augen. Längst war London ihr Zuhause geworden. Jetzt war der Bruch mit der EU nicht mehr umkehrbar. Für sie und viele Briten, die bis zum Schluss noch auf einen anderen Ausgang gehofft hatten, ein bedrückender Tag. 
Zehn Jahre später fragt sich Annette Dittert, was aus dem Land geworden ist. Sie nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise über die Insel: Wir besuchen die Royal Albert Hall und das House of Lords, schwimmen mit der Frauengruppe 'Blue Tits' im Meer an der Ostküste der Insel, plaudern mit Schotten, Priestern und Earls. Und sind bei der Autorin auf ihrem Narrowboat Emilia zu Gast, einem kleinen bunten Boot aus Stahl am Regent's Canal, mitten im Zentrum Londons. So entsteht ein facettenreiches Bild der eigenwillig-charmanten Briten, deren prekäre wirtschaftliche und soziale Situation - nicht nur infolge des EU-Austritts - im Alltag spürbar ist und die doch stets Haltung bewahren.

'Jedes Mal, wenn Annette Dittert in der ARD zugeschaltet wurde, dachte ich erfreut: Let the show begin. Und genau so liest sich dieses Buch. Annette Dittert verbindet politische Analyse mit persönlicher Erfahrung jahrelanger Korrespondentenzeit. So entsteht ein vielschichtiger, oft überraschender Blick auf ein Land, das vielen Deutschen vertraut scheint und das sich doch erst wirklich erschließt, wenn man Einblicke hinter seine Rituale, Widersprüche und Eigenheiten erhält. Und die liefert Annette Dittert und nicht zu wenig. Grandios! ' NATALIE AMIRI

'Dieses fantastische Buch ist ebenso unterhaltsam wie klug. Ein tiefer Blick in die Seele der Briten, geschrieben fast wie ein Roman. Ich konnte nicht aufhören zu lesen!' ULRICH WICKERT

Auf der Suche nach der Seele Großbritanniens

Dear Britain

A pyrotechnic examination of Elon Musk as a symptom and avatar of our postliberal age 'A searing analysis of Elon Musk... Impressive and unrelenting, this grapples with a destructive ideology that seems poised to consume everything' - Publisher's Weekly (Starred Review) 'Impeccably researched and splendidly written, Muskism introduces us to a world full of promise and fear' - Branko Milanovic, author of The Great Global Transformation Who on earth is Elon Musk and what is he doing? Is he a hero, a villain, or does he swing constantly between those two poles? According to the constant media gush driven by his every act and pronouncement, Musk is best understood in personal terms. This book argues differently. Rather than seeing Musk as an individual, it sees him as an avatar of something called Muskism: a playbook for our new postliberal age. It's not that Musk himself holds a coherent set of beliefs; you could say his life is one long improvisation. And he's certainly never used the word Muskism - just as, a century ago, Henry Ford never used Fordism to define his own postliberal modernity. In exploring the forces that have shaped Musk, from South Africa to Silicon Valley, Space X to DOGE, Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff outline the motifs and practices that have come to dominate our own crisis-ridden world. Muskism, they show, speaks the language of crisis and emergency to invoke a less human future: where humans are purged from the productive process and, through social media and video games, merged with the machine. This is a worldview in which the technocrat is king; which piggybacks on the state to achieve supremacy; and in which only a select few deserve salvation. If you enter, this book warns you, you will grind and you will live in the shadow of one man - but the rewards could be priceless and the alternative might be extinction.

'Excellent, meticulously researched biography' - The Guardian 'Katie Prescott's account could hardly be bettered' - Literary Review 'My book of the year' - Martin Vander Weyer, The Spectator 'A highly readable book' - Financial Times Named one of the Times and Sunday Times 'Best Books of 2025' A maverick outsider. An improbable life. An even more improbable death. Discover the real story of Mike Lynch, Britain's enigmatic billionaire. On the morning of 19th August 2024, the Bayesian yacht tragically sank off the coast of Sicily, taking with it the lives of Mike Lynch, his daughter and five others. Hours earlier, Lynch's associate and co-defendant in one of the biggest fraud cases in Silicon Valley history, Stephen Chamberlain, was hit by a car in Cambridge and killed. The odds of these two deaths occurring together were estimated at four in one billion. Drawing on extensive research and exclusive access to key sources, award-winning Times journalist Katie Prescott forensically explores the life and death of this elusive maverick. Prescott guides us from Lynch's humble beginnings, through his meteoric rise to CEO of Autonomy, and beyond to a vicious legal battle lasting more than a decade following the 2011 sale of Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for more than £11bn. A truly brilliant feat of investigative reporting, this is a tale where nothing is quite as it appears. 'Totally gripping . . . A real-life story that reads like a novel' - Sathnam Sanghera, bestselling author of Empireland 'There is an old saying that most journalists have a bad book in them . . . Katie Prescott isn't one of them. If this was a film script no one would believe it' - Kamal Ahmed, journalist and author of Life and Times of a Very British Man 'A meticulously researched glimpse into the dark side of tech business in the UK . . . Riveting' - Parmy Olson, bestselling author of Supremacy

Named one of Financial Times’s Best Books of 2025 New York Times reporter and bestselling author David Gelles reveals how Patagonia became a global leader in doing well by doing good and how other companies are adopting its principles. This is the inside story of one of the most extraordinary brands in the corporate world, the rare company that is driven by environmental activism instead of cutthroat capitalism. Founded in 1973, Patagonia has grown into a wildly popular producer of jackets, hats, and fleece vests, with a cultlike following among hardcore alpinists and Wall Street traders alike, posting sales of more than $1 billion a year. But it’s not just the clothes that make Patagonia unique. For decades, the company has distinguished itself as a singular beacon for socially responsible business, the rare company that can legitimately claim to be doing its damnedest to make the world a better place, while also making a profit. From its early efforts to take exemplary care of its employees, to its extensive work trying to clean up its supply chain, to its controversial activism, Patagonia has set itself apart from its peers with one unorthodox decision after another, proving that there is another way to do capitalism. At the heart of the story is Patagonia’s founder, the legendary rock climber Yvon Chouinard. A perennial outsider who forged one of the most impressive resumes in the outdoor world, Chouinard also established himself as a pivotal figure in the history of American business. Guided by his anti-authoritarian streak and his unwavering commitment to preserving the natural world, Patagonia came to exert a powerful influence on other companies, paving the way for a new era of social and environmental responsibility. He started out as a dirtbag—a term affectionately bestowed on poor, itinerant outdoorsmen so uninterested in material possessions they are happy to sleep in the dirt—and he became a billionaire. Chouinard also proved that there was another way to be a philanthropist. In the twilight of his career, he gave away Patagonia, renouncing his wealth and committing all its future profits to fighting the climate crisis. Drawing on exclusive access to Chouinard and the Patagonia team, Dirtbag Billionaire offers new insights into the key moments that informed their priorities, shaped the company, and sent ripples across the corporate world.

Revealing the people behind the Rothschild name, The Rothschilds explores the lives and legacy of one of the best-known and most impactful families in modern history The Rothschild name has long been synonymous with wealth and privilege, but as Jews the family has also been dogged by prejudice and hatred. Antisemitism followed them from their earliest beginnings in the oppressive Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, where Jews were not allowed out after nightfall, to the lofty summits of high finance, art, and culture. However, behind the myths, the glamor, and the conspiracy theories are a group of relatives whose individualism, personalities and occasional eccentricities have been obscured by their shared surname. In The Rothschilds, Harry Freedman delves into their lives on a historical tour, marked as much by dry British humor as by an unfailing attention to the influence of individual family members on world events. Freedman takes us from the genesis of the Rothschild international banking empire to the impact of individual Rothschilds in multiple fields over the past 250 years. Spanning war, politics and the industrial revolution, art, architecture and interior design, zoology, smuggling, counter-terrorism and the ongoing struggle against entrenched anti-Jewish bigotry, he reveals a truly new story of a very old family. The Rothschilds makes a great contribution not only to Jewish history but also our understanding of a dynasty that has shaped our world. &nbsp;
