Je to žena, jejíž život provází samá nej – nejdéle vládnoucí, nejzcestovalejší a na stydlivého člověka i nejspolečenštější, neboť se tváří v tvář potkala s více poddanými než kterýkoli jiný panovník v dějinách. Královna Viktorie si vysloužila titul babičky Evropy, zatímco královna Alžběta II. se stala babičkou Spojeného království a Commonwealthu. Nejdéle sloužící panovnice v dějinách zasvětila svůj život rodině, svému lidu i širší rodině národů. Přes mnohé překážky a překvapení, které ji během vlády potkaly, vždy oddaně sloužila své zemi a trpělivě přihlížela dějinám, jež se kolem ní utvářely -, často s jiskrou v oku. Představovala jistotu v dobrých i zlých časech, vždy připravená slavit i projevit soucit. Její život kopíroval cestu Británie v dobách války i míru. Zbožňovaná a nesmírně populární Alžběta II. se zapíše do dějin jako možná nejvýznamnější britská královna. Poutavá, zasvěcené biografie oceňovaného spisovatele a historika Andrewa Mortona, autora knih Elizabeth & Margaret: Důvěrný svět královských sester a Diana: její skutečný příběh, vás zavede do zákulisí a odhalí královnu i celý její svět.

Per anni implorò la madre perché le regalasse un fratellino. Sperava che le venisse risparmiato il destino da futura regina britannica. Il suo sogno era vivere in campagna, circondata da bambini, cani e cavalli. Ma Elisabetta, giovane principessa, non si sottrasse al dovere e giurò davanti al proprio popolo che avrebbe dedicato l''intera vita al servizio del Regno Unito e del Commonwealth. A soli 25 anni, diventando regina dopo la prematura scomparsa del padre, re Giorgio VI, cominciò così il suo percorso da record: il regno più lungo e con il maggior numero di viaggi, strette di mano e discorsi rispetto a quello di qualunque altro monarca della Storia. A Elisabetta la strada per il trono si era aperta sotto l''egida della lettera D. Come Divorzio. Nel 1936 suo zio David, re Edoardo VIII, aveva deciso di sposare una donna americana pluridivorziata, Wallis Simpson, e - trattandosi di una scelta proibita per un sovrano - aveva dovuto abdicare. Dopo quello shock nazionale, la lettera D ha continuato a improntare il regno di Elisabetta che, nel tempo, ha assistito al divorzio della sorella Margaret, di tre dei figli e di un nipote. E ha vissuto abbastanza a lungo per vedere, come in una sorta di ciclo storico, un''altra divorziata americana, Meghan Markle, camminare lungo la navata al braccio di suo nipote Harry. Se il regno di Elisabetta è stato segnato dai divorzi, la sua vita privata è stata forgiata da un marito irascibile, da una madre stravagante, da un erede lamentoso e da un disonorevole secondogenito. Nell''inverno della sua esistenza, la regina ha dovuto fare da mediatrice nella guerra fra i nipoti William e Harry, che in passato erano stati inseparabili. Giunta oggi al Giubileo di Platino, come prima monarca britannica a regnare per settant''anni, durante la pandemia si è dimostrata il volto rassicurante della speranza e dell''ottimismo. La nonna della Nazione.

"The art of practicing actual medicine is not, in reality, tied to some ethereal code of ethics and morality. It is not glamorous. I do not show up in scrubs to a television show and talk to you about which supplements you should or should not be taking. I don''t jet off to some developing nation to discuss water sanitation. And no, I don''t live in a big house and play golf on Wednesdays. As a matter of fact, my day is mostly focused on survival, both yours and mine."The Demise of Medicine takes a hard-hitting look at the current and future state of health care in America. Family physician and Gulf War veteran Andrew Morton takes readers inside his life as an infantry medic in Desert Storm, a medical student, and finally, a physician, to show the problems with the health care system. From the basic organization of modern health care delivery to the financial structure, liability, and the office visit, the American health care system is a dysfunctional mess. Americans are losing their privacy, autonomy, and choice. Providers may or may not be sufficiently trained to treat the patient they''re attending, and everyone is paying the price as the level of health care deteriorates. Forget what you know about what''s wrong with the health care system. It''s much worse. The Demise of Medicine is upon us.
