Beschreibung

The "Art of War - Book Set" is an illustrious anthology that traverses centuries of strategic thought, armed with the profound musings of thirteen seminal contributors. This compendium underlines the universal and timeless nature of warfare, philosophy, and political strategy, as explored through the diverse insights of luminaries from different eras and regions. The collection weaves together varied approaches, from Eastern philosophies embodied by Confucius and Sun Tzu, to Western military strategies elucidated by Carl von Clausewitz and Napoleon Bonaparte. Each piece, while resonant with the unique voice of its originator, contributes to an overarching narrative that illuminates the complexities of conflict and power dynamics. The authors represented in this venerable collection span a wide spectrum of cultural and historical milieus, offering readers a rich tapestry of perspectives. The anthology draws from Eastern, Western, and indigenous strategic thoughts, including the tactical genius of the US Marine Corps and the philosophical depths of Kautilya's Arthashastra. These figures, cultivated in myriad contexts—be it the political astuteness of Machiavelli's Renaissance Italy or the revolutionary fervor of Ernesto Che Guevara—provide a pluralistic lens through which the art and ethos of warfare are dissected and understood. Together, their contributions underscore the anthology's mission to demystify war's enigmatic nature. Readers embarking on this collection are presented with an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in a diverse pool of strategic wisdom. Whether for academic purposes, personal insight, or historical curiosity, "The Art of War - Book Set" stands as an essential exploration of humanity's perennial encounter with conflict. With its wide-ranging perspectives and timeless lessons, this anthology not only educates but also invites reflection on the multitudinous aspects of power, leadership, and strategy, serving as a dynamic platform for dialogue across generations.

Soul of Goodness - Transform...

PhD Christopher Phillips

Christopher Phillips has devoted his life to carrying the torch of Socrates and his quest to "Know Thyself." Yet upon the death of his beloved father and mentor, the originator of the burgeoning global Socrates Café movement had little choice but to confront the inescapable truth: that there are some things we cannot know for sure. This moving, insightful and ultimately hopeful and helpful blend of memoir and philosophical exploration begins in Phillips' native stomping grounds of the island of Nisyros, Greece and unfurls through space and time as the author explores the connections between his immediate circumstances and the eternal wisdom of popular philosophers. 
 
 
 
In this personal and probing book, the acclaimed 'philosopher for the people' shares lessons gleaned from his intimate and often unexpected encounters with uncommonly perceptive human beings both living and long deceased. Along the way, he charts a pathway for sculpting what Shakespeare describes as a "soul of goodness," which meshes with Plato's paradigm-shattering conception of the "healthiness of soul." For those struggling to overcome the hopelessness that can result from grievous loss, setback, or betrayal, the author spotlights how to cultivate a 'Socratic spirit' that leads to renewed love, forbearance, and hope at the other end of the tunnel.

Witches - Witches: The history...

Nigel Cawthorne

When bigotry and power-mania take control, disaster always follows for subjugated persons - even when the power is wielded by the Church. 
 
Witchcraft was viewed as devil-worship. Between 1450 and 1750, one hundred thousand people were accused, subject to the most bestial tortures and usually executed. Witches examines the wildfire-spread of witch hunting across Europe and America, revealing the disturbing and brutal realities of these witch hunts and their roots in misogyny and religious persecution. 
 
It includes: 
• Letters and trial testimonies from those charged with witchcraft, as well as some from self-proclaimed witches 
• Biographic detail of key witch hunters, such as Matthew Hopkins (the so-called Witchfinder General) who was responsible for hundreds of executions 
• Accounts of famous witch trials, from Chelmsford to Salam 
 
Nigel Cawthorne doesn't shy away from the violent details of this persecution, exploring the events as they transpired, the contexts that triggered them and tracing it back to its source.

Heaven Help Us - How Faith...

John Kasich

Read by the author.
Discover the antidote to cynicism and despair in this dynamic, revelatory, hope-inducing exploration of the extraordinary work and extraordinary people who are transforming communities around the country--motivated by faith.
The mother of a man with autism manages a network of group homes through her local Greek Orthodox congregation. The director of an Islamic cultural center hosts a national interfaith conference to foster better relationships with the Jewish community. A student counselor starts a free immigration services program through her church. Sometimes we forget that good is not only happening in America, it is flourishing--in the fertile soil of our churches, synagogues, and mosques.
Few people are better poised to speak to the value of religious institutions in civic life than former Ohio governor and presidential candidate John Kasich, who is both a public servant and a man of faith. In Heaven Help Us, Kasich reminds us through gripping stories that faith communities are vital to healthy communities and our nation. Heaven Help Us offers:Unforgettable stories of people making an extraordinary difference because of their faith communitiesInsights into what sets faith institutions that transform their neighborhoods apart from those that don'tPractical ideas for making positive changes in our own communitiesHope to dream about what is possible in our country instead of what is impossibleEncouragement that religion can bring us together rather than break us apart
As Kasich shows us, faith institutions can magnify the power of an individual in ways that almost always exceed the expectations of the person who jump-started the initiative in the first place. More than a collection of "feel-good" stories, Heaven Help Us reminds us of the resourcefulness and ingenuity of our fellow congregants and religious leaders that make it possible to turn our good intentions into even better outcomes. Good is happening in our country. Join in.
