  Known internationally as The Dean Of Risk Arbitrage, Guy Wyser-Pratte is a force majeure of shareholder activism. 
  Born to a Hungarian-Jewish father and an Austrian-Catholic mother, Guy (Ghee) has lived a life shaped by history, ambition, and risk. From an idyllic childhood on the beaches of Cannes to narrowly escaping war-torn Europe, his journey is one of resilience, fortune, and survival against all odds. His background as a US Marine Corps infantry officer foreshadows his ability to lead into a storm. 
  At just five years old, Guy was moments from death while attempting to crawl to freedom through a hole in a fence to Switzerland from Occupied Annecy, France. That near-death experience at the business end of a Nazi soldier's rifle, forever imprinted on his memory-becomming a defining moment of his life: a lesson in the fragility of fate, the necessity of taking risks when the stakes are highest, and the courage to cut your own path. 
  "Every time I uncovered corporate misbehavior at the expense of shareholders, I felt an immediate surge of purpose. I wasn't built to sit quietly and passively sweat out individual risk-arbitrage deals. That just wasn't me. By the 1990s, I was actively going after managements in the United States that were failing their shareholders." 
  -Guy Wyser Pratte 
  "There are men who follow the rules, and there are men who rewrite them. Guy Wyser-Pratte has never been interested in the former." 
  -Brig. Gen. Thomas V. Draude 
  Guy P. Wyser-Pratte, MBA is considered by many to be the founding father of shareholder activism. He is a U.S. Marine Corps Officer, an award-winning and celebrated arbatrageur, a fund manager with 38% returns, and sports a storied history of iconic, disruptive mischief in the name of shareholder value.

  Affectionately known as the Queen Mother, she was born a commoner and never expected to be Queen. Yet, her life was forever changed with the abdication of her brother-in-law, Edward VIII, and she rose to become one of the most popular royal figures. 
   
   
   
  Helen Cathcart's fascinatingly intimate account charts the life of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, from her birth and early years, to her courtship and marriage to the second son of King George V and Queen Mary, through the abdication crisis, and later period as Queen consort, before giving insight into the first forty years of her life as Queen Mother after her daughter, Elizabeth II, had ascended to the throne. 
   
   
   
  During her long life the Queen Mother witnessed numerous challenges to her nation, including two world wars and the decline of British power, yet, as Cathcart reveals, she remained an unwavering pillar of support to both her husband and her daughter through these difficult times. 
   
   
   
  Drawing information from family letters, royal journals, and the personal recollections, The Queen Mother is an exceptionally detailed picture of one of the most influential women of the twentieth century.

  I first met Mike Pinder when the interview you are about to hear was conducted in the mid-1990s.  Tt was generally known that Mike was very spiritually evolved and able to mirror his deep realizations through his incredible music both as a solo artist and with the Moody Blues. As an interviewer, I was taken by the sincerity, depth, and breadth of his knowledge and wisdom. Pinder gave freely the benefit of his unique understanding of life through the music that so effortlessly flowed from within.There was an incredible honesty about the man which gave everything he said a moral authority and simple truth that was quite amazing. Without ever posing as one Mike was a very high spiritual teacher.  What you will hear is an incredible document of not only the early history and success Mike Pinder achieved as a musician and composer but also the deeper aspects of living a true spiritual life amidst the material maelstrom.Mike was in many ways the soul of The Moody Blues, a progressive band of brothers that touched so many. Fortunately, he has left behind a huge portion of his great spirit within his indelible and enlightening music and words. This audiobook is a tribute of the triumph of true spiritual life made manifest within the context of this rare and wonderful musician composer and philosopher.Here Pinder speaks for himself from the vantage of a life well lived centered upon the deepest from within the soulful core of this wonderful being. His music and philosophy will live long. Mike's inspirational travels continue. Geoffrey Giuliano, 2024
