The present volume brings the history of the breed up to the year 1981. Many references to.the exportation of stallions and the size and significance of various breeding farms are no longer accurate in 1998 when the present translation was completed. .

111j0383Hardcover. "Sefton Delmer 1904-1979 was a British journalist of Australian heritage and propagandist for the British government during the Second World War. Fluent in German he became friendly with Ernst Röhm who arranged for him to interview Adolf Hitler in 1931. During the war he led a black propaganda campaign against Hitler by radio from England. It was so successful that Delmer was named in the Nazis' Black Book for immediate arrest after their planned invasion of Britain." - Wikipedia. "Delmer's dispatches were probably read by more people than any other British foreign correspondent's in the years before and after World War II. He could speak and think as fluently in German as in his native tongue which gave him a unique insight into and to a large extent sympathy with the German character. This attribute allowed him in this book to give the most intimate revealing and enthralling picture of life in Germany between the two wars ever written and particularly of the Nazi leaders all of whom he knew personally. This first volume of his autobiography ends with his escape from France in June 1940." - dust jacket. 423 pages. Index. Unmarked with light foxing and wear to publisher's red brick cloth.

From an AI overview: "Trading Sardines: Lessons in the Markets from a Lifelong Trader by Linda Bradford Raschke is a memoir and trading guide that chronicles her nearly four-decade career offering a humorous honest and poignant look at the realities of trading from the early trading floors to modern electronic markets. The book emphasizes grit resilience and perseverance sharing market lessons through personal stories charts and photos and highlights the importance of process risk management and humor for survival in the markets. The title comes from a story about rotten sardines illustrating that things aren't always as they seem and underscoring the need for skepticism and due diligence. Key themes and lessons: Resilience and perseverance: Raschke shares her experiences of being on the wrong side of major market moves emphasizing the need to stay in the game and stick to a process without panicking. The "real" world of trading: The book provides an unvarnished look at the challenges setbacks and emotional rollercoaster of trading contrasting with the typical focus on big wins. Risk management: It stresses the importance of managing risk and not getting caught up in what seems like a "sure thing" using the sardine story as a metaphor for market uncertainty. Humor as a survival tool: Raschke suggests that humor is a key ingredient for navigating the high-pressure environment of trading. Evolution of markets: The book takes readers on a chronological journey through the changing landscape of financial markets over the years. Why it's recommended: It's praised as an engaging insightful and entertaining read that offers a "Ph.D in market experience." It's considered a modern-day equivalent to Reminiscences of a Stock Operator offering valuable lessons for traders of all levels." From a 2019 GoodReads review by Steve: "Linda Bradford Raschke was one of the top traders featured in Jack Schwagers book The New Market Wizards her trading results were outstanding both as a floor trader and when she moved to trading at home from her own office. She had consistent success in her own personal trading and even made seven figure profits on a single trade which was a highlight of her early career. She went on to run one of the most successful performing funds later in her career with serious size. This book tells her story and the highlights of her trading career are both educational entertaining and insightful on the realities of being a full time trader and money manager. She does not hold back with all the good and bad details of her life. This book is part autobiography and part trading book which does a great job of story telling giving the reader an insight into what can go wrong as a trader that can be both a drama and a comedy at the same time. I found myself laughing out loud at many of her stories and I had to share many of them with my wife. Her story of the cat walking on her hot keys and her explaining the results of the cats trades were one of the funnier trading stories I have ever heard and there are many more. There are also many key trading lessons for the reader. It is important to use modeling and backtesting of data to identify repeatable trading patterns. Her biggest edge was the discretion she used to trade around here price models. She was able to experience a big drawdown in capital and then trade her way back to even in a short amount of time. Creating successful trading systems are not difficult the skill is in the discipline to execute them consistently. Two French interns showed this was possible in her book. The primary key to surviving as a trader is not blowing up your account. You have to manage risk to stay in the game. You must put in the work if you want to be a profitable trader it has to be a passion. There are different market environments and sometimes you follow the trend and sometimes you trade the range. Take trades that put the probability of success on your side. Software and backtesting are crucial for finding edges in price action to trade. Blowing up your account does not end your career as long as you have mental capital left you can do it you can make a comeback.Trading can be a very stressful undertaking and managing that stress is crucial for long term success. Support from your spouse and family are crucial to be able to put in the time and energy it takes to trade for a living. This was a very enjoyable book and Linda Raschke did a great job as an author creating a great reader experience. She is one of the greatest traders of her generation and we would all be wise to listen to what she has to say. We are fortunate that she took the time to write this book for us."
