The Art Of War

Sun Tzu

"The Art of War" is a timeless and influential treatise on strategy and warfare attributed to Sun Tzu, a renowned Chinese military strategist, philosopher, and tactician of ancient China. Written over 2,500 years ago, this classic work has transcended its original purpose as a military manual to become a foundational text on strategic thinking applicable to various aspects of life, including business, leadership, and conflict resolution.
Divided into thirteen chapters, "The Art of War" delves into the intricate complexities of warfare and the principles that govern success on the battlefield. Sun Tzu emphasizes the importance of flexibility, adaptability, and understanding the terrain in order to gain an advantage over one's adversaries. The book discusses various strategies, including the direct and indirect approaches, the utilization of deception, the management of resources, and the significance of timing in achieving victory.
One of the central concepts in the book is the idea that the ultimate triumph lies in winning without engaging in actual combat. Sun Tzu stresses the value of outsmarting opponents through strategic maneuvering and psychological warfare, reducing the need for bloody confrontation. He underlines the importance of understanding both one's own strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of the opposition, in order to make informed decisions that lead to success.
"The Art of War" also touches upon leadership qualities and the need for effective communication and discipline within an organization.

His teachings highlight the significance of preparation, planning, and adaptability in achieving one's goals.

The Snowy Battlefield of Ohio -...

Stanley O'Shea

In this captivating memoir, Stanley unflinchingly shares his tumultuous experience as an international graduate student in the American Midwest. His narrative weaved through a labyrinth of unexpected trials, crises, and cultural clashes as he grappled with the perplexing healthcare system, the haunting justice system, the intimidating immigration maze, and the bureaucratic intricacies of academia.
Through his triangular interactions with two “elite” students, he not only rectified his understanding of mainstream American culture but also delved into the depths of human relationships. The multi-layered emotional turmoil Stanley endured as he confronted the “devil” within and outside, mixed with the benevolence and insights he received from peers and fellows, resulted in his transcendence of the original “American dream.”
Along this journey, Stanley invites readers to reflect on universal themes of identity, resilience, mental health, and spiritual growth.
Fantastic and uncompromising expression of what it means to be an immigrant to the US today. Essential reading for anyone considering immigrating or who has already immigrated and finding it unexpectedly difficult to assimilate into US culture. As a third culture kid and hidden immigrant, I wish I’d had this book decades ago. Its insights would have saved me years of heartbreak, loss and sorrow. — Andrew Indahl, civil rights attorney, UCLA graduate
In a land where the coffee is strong and the health insurance is weak, the author navigates friendships like a tightrope walker — balancing between cultural faux pas and the fear of being misunderstood. Love was a puzzle with missing pieces, and every legal form felt like an existential riddle. Yet, through each cringing trial, he discovers that the quirks of human behavior are the threads that weave us all together, regardless of the results. — Alfred Olivas, STEAM Education Consultant, former expat in Asia

Vedic Hymns

Anonymous Anonymous

The Vedic Hymns are among the most interesting portions of Hindoo literature. In form and spirit they resemble both the poems of the Hebrew psalter and the lyrics of Pindar. They deal with the most elemental religious conceptions and are full of the imagery of nature. It would be absurd to deny to very many of them the possession of the truest poetic inspiration. The scenery of the Himalayas, ice and snow, storm and tempest, lend their majesty to the strains of the Vedic poet. He describes the storm sweeping over the white-crested mountains till the earth, like a hoary king, trembles with fear.
