    In a spellbinding new masterpiece by #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva, Gabriel Allon undertakes a high-stakes search for the greatest art forger who ever livedLegendary spy and art restorer Gabriel Allon has at long last severed ties with Israeli intelligence and settled quietly in Venice, the only place where he has ever truly known peace. His beautiful wife, Chiara, has taken over the day-to-day management of the Tiepolo Restoration Company, and their two young children are discreetly enrolled in a neighborhood scuola elementare. For his part, Gabriel spends his days wandering the streets and canals of the watery city, bidding farewell to the demons of his tragic, violent past.But when the eccentric London art dealer Julian Isherwood asks Gabriel to investigate the circumstances surrounding the rediscovery and lucrative sale of a centuries-old painting, he is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse where nothing is as it seems.Gabriel soon discovers that the work in question, a portrait of an unidentified woman attributed to Sir Anthony van Dyck, is almost certainly a fiendishly clever fake. To find the mysterious figure who painted it?and uncover a multibillion-dollar fraud at the pinnacle of the art world?Gabriel conceives one of the most elaborate deceptions of his career. If it is to succeed, he must become the very mirror image of the man he seeks: the greatest art forger the world has ever known.Stylish, sophisticated, and ingeniously plotted, Portrait of an Unknown Woman is a wildly entertaining journey through the dark side of the art world?a place where unscrupulous dealers routinely deceive their customers and deep-pocketed investors treat great paintings as though they were just another asset class to be bought and sold at a profit. From its elegant opening to the shocking twists of its climax, the novel is a tour de force of storytelling and one of the finest pieces of heist fiction ever written. And it is still more proof that, when it comes to international intrigue and suspense, Daniel Silva has no equal.

    Using the letters Warren Buffett wrote to his partners between 1956 and 1970, a veteran financial advisor presents the renowned investor's ?ground rules? for investing?guidelines that remain startlingly relevant today.In the fourteen years between his time in New York with value-investing guru Benjamin Graham and his start as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett managed Buffett Partnership Limited, his first professional investing venture. Over the course of that time?a period in which he experienced an unprecedented record of success?Buffett wrote regular letters to his small but growing group of partners, sharing his thoughts, approaches, and reflections.Compiled for the first time, and with Buffett's permission, the letters spotlight his contrarian diversification strategy, his almost religious celebration of compounding interest, his preference for conservative rather than conventional decision-making, and his goals and tactics for bettering market results by at least 10 percent annually. Demonstrating Buffett's intellectual rigor, they provide a framework for the craft of investing that had not existed before: Buffett built upon the quantitative contributions made by his famous teacher, Graham, revealing how these wisdoms could be applied and improved. With additional context, synthesis, and insights provided by Jeremy C. Miller, Warren Buffett's Ground Rules gives us a firsthand look into Buffett's mind and provides accessible lessons in control and discipline?effective in bull and bear markets alike, and in all types of investing climates?that are the bedrock of his success. Warren Buffett's Ground Rules paints a rare portrait of the sage as a young investor during a time when he developed the long-term, value-oriented strategies that helped him build the foundation of his wealth?rules for success every investor needs today.Taken together, the letters provide a solid foundation for building financial success.Advance Praise for Warren Buffett's Ground Rules?Mr. Miller has done a superb job of researching and dissecting the operation of Buffett Partnership Ltd., and of explaining how Berkshire's culture has evolved from its BPL origin. If you are fascinated by investment theory and practice, you will enjoy this book.??Warren Buffett ?This book is much more than a compilation of excerpts from Buffett's letters, smartly organized by investment theme. Miller begins every chapter with an articulate and insightful synthesis, which helps the reader understand Buffett's key ground rules on each theme.??Robert Pozen, senior lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management, former chairman of MFS Investment Management?Warren Buffett's Ground Rules is an extraordinarily useful book for anyone who is interested in investing, or in Warren Buffett. Jeremy C. Miller has done a careful study of Buffett's early partnership letters and turned them into an easily accessible body of knowledge. In doing so, he has written an indispensable book. For my part, I will keep it close at hand for easy reference in the years to come.??Guy Spier, author of The Education of a Value Investor?Warren Buffett's Ground Rules is a wonderful collection of Buffett's early partnership letters and musings organized in a thoughtful, concise, and entertaining format. Together with Miller's commentary, the book offers valuable insight into the world of value investing.??Christopher Blake, managing director of Lazard Asset Management

    Women around the globe, it's time to finally speak up, speak out, be heard, become stronger than ever, and live more meaningful lives. Women encounter a myriad of obstacles, from sexual harassment to unequal pay to objectification and discrimination. But there are very specific tips that each woman, no matter her age or her station in life, can follow right now to make important and significant changes. In this book, women will learn to flex their mental muscles and hurdle over the roadblocks that keep them from achieving their greatest goals. While many people focus on what women should do to live their best lives, only one author will tell women in no uncertain terms which behaviors to avoid in order to become mentally strong.Now Amy Morin, psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, teaches women everywhere how to fortify themselves and face challenges in this powerful, necessary book for our time, breaking down the thirteen habits and mind-sets that women must avoid in order to master their mental strength. These thirteen tried-and-true principles show women how to tackle problems and tough situations in order to live their best?and most powerful?lives, and there's no better guide through the process than Morin, the leading global voice on mental strength. Drawing on scientific evidence, case studies from her own patients, and even celebrity stories of hardship and triumph, Morin shows how mental strength can come from anywhere regardless of career, marriage, or family life. From introducing ways to stop blaming yourself to becoming a rule-breaker, Morin demonstrates how to navigate some of the hardest challenges that women face, while proposing experience-based solutions that promote mental fortitude. By integrating these easy-to-follow exercises and practical tips into daily life, Morin shows that mental strength is achievable?and necessary?to become a strong woman. In addition she discusses how mental strength practice can help with the difficult realities of sexism that still exist even in the era of the #MeToo movement and awareness of workplace harassment, providing specific strategies for dealing with these persistent issues. Featuring stories and experiences from dozens of women and offering a timely approach to the hard-hitting difficulties women are facing?including calling out sexism, fighting harassment, and finding confidence?Morin confronts the status quo by giving women the time, space, and energy to prioritize themselves. The end result frees you from the confusing practices and obstacles that women face every day, and helps inspire you to achieve the mental strength you need to create a life of authentic meaning and joy.
