Diplomacy and Diamonds
She's been dirt poor; she's been filthy rich. Rich was more fun. She married three times, divorced twice, found her true love, and lost him to cancer. At twenty-one, she was told she would soon die. She lived. Doctors said she'd never be able to have children. She had 'em. She's bargained with God, dictators, and Democrats. She's partied with princes, presidents, premiers, Barbara Walters, Anwar Sadat, Margaret Thatcher, Tom Hanks, and Francisco Franco . . . though not all at the same time. She captivated powerful men with her feminine charm, and then persuaded them toward unlikely political alliances through her formidable intelligence. She waltzed with Prince Philip in Buckingham Palace, d...
La chasse, une passion
La chasse est à la fois un sport, un art et une passion. « On n'aime pas la chasse si l'on n'aime pas passionnément la nature », estime Michel Déon, qui signe la préface de ce livre. Hubert Guerrand-Hermès le sait bien, lui, qui a traqué, attendu, pisté et poursuivi toutes sortes de gibiers. Il décrit, en spécialiste, les différentes techniques de la chasse, il explique son éthique, son langage et évoque, en amoureux des paysages, les émotions et les ambiances d'un sport qu'il apprécie par-dessus tout. Cet ouvrage joint, aux avis pratiques (mœurs du gibier, travail du chien, choix de l'arme, devoirs du chasseur), de précieux conseils, qui permettront au chasseur moderne d'assouvir sa passion, tout en respectant la nature.

Profiles in Polo
This book, with contributions from many of the world's leading polo journalists, profiles more than 30 of the most influential polo players from history. The players covered were selected for inclusion based on their overall impact on the game rather than their prowess on the field, although many covered are considered all-time greats. Each chapter covers an individual player, including early pioneers, those who played during the "golden era" (the years between World War I and World War II), superstars, game-changers, and great contemporaries. The book includes numerous photographs and a foreword by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales.

Finance offshore et paradis fiscaux
La finance offshore est considérée comme l’innovation financière la plus radicale des 60 dernières années. Cet ouvrage explique les stratagèmes offshores aussi bien légaux qu’illégaux utilisés par des sociétés et des individus pour éviter de payer de l’impôt, faciliter certaines activités économiques, corrompre, ou blanchir de l’argent, notamment. Il aborde les enjeux économiques et sociétaux soulevés par la finance offshore et les paradis fiscaux et identifie de nouveaux risques susceptibles d’engager la responsabilité sociale de toute organisation.
The Making of the Alnwick Garden
Ian August was set to retire from his position as the Factor for Northumberland Alnwick Estates when the Duchess asked for his help with a new project. The Duchess of Northumberland s vision was to create a beautiful public space accessible to everyone. Eight years later, the project has become Alnwick Garden. This is the story of one woman s stubborn crusade to realize her dream, told by the man who has been by her side since the beginning. Throughout, August documented the garden s creation, and before-and-after photos record the progress of the largest Tree House in the world, the Poison Garden, the Cascade, David Austen s Rose Garden, and many other of the garden s pleasures."
