"Sun Tzu on the Art of War: The Oldest Military Treatise in the World" is a classic military text attributed to the ancient Chinese general and strategist Sun Tzu, written in the 5th century BC. This work is often considered one of the foundational texts in military philosophy and strategy. The book emphasizes the importance of strategy over sheer force in warfare, offering insights into planning, tactical maneuvers, and the psychological aspects of conflict, which are relevant for both military leaders and modern strategists. At the beginning of this treatise, readers are introduced to fundamental concepts that shape Sun Tzu's principles of warfare. The opening section highlights the critical importance of understanding the nature of warfare, emphasizing that it is a matter of life and death for the state. Sun Tzu identifies five constant factors that must be considered in military planning: the moral law, heaven (weather), earth (terrain), the commander, and method and discipline. He advocates for strategic planning and adaptability, arguing that victory depends on effectively understanding and applying these elements in command situations. The text also introduces the famous principle that "All warfare is based on deception," establishing a framework for tactical thought that resonates throughout the subsequent chapters.Voir livre

"The new man will be a mystic, a poet, a scientist, all together. He will not look at life through old rotten divisions. He will be a mystic, because he will feel the presence of god. He will be a poet, because he will celebrate the presence of god. And he will be a scientist, because he will search into this presence through scientific methodology. When a man is all these three together, the man is whole." Osho, or Bhagwan has been described by the Sunday Times in London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century". American author Tom Robbins says he is "the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ", while the Sunday Mid-Day has selected Osho as one of ten people along with Gandhi, Nehru and Buddha who have changed the destiny of India. How can one human be dangerous and at the same time change-making? And if he is, then what could possibly be the impact of his presence?Voir livre
Xenophon’s The Art of Horsemanship is a highly unusual text in the corpus of Classical Greek literature. It is a short survey on the various aspects of care for horses as seen by a highly experienced rider from the 5th century BCE. It is particularly notable because so many of its observations are relevant to the modern rider. Xenophon, friend of Socrates and professional soldier, is best known as the author Anabasis, the vivid account of a failed military expedition deep into Persia. The Art of Horsemanship is very different in tone and content – a practical study from deep personal knowledge gained from working with horses, but none the less fascinating. Xenophon considers what features and qualities to look for in a horse – among them broad chest, wide nostrils, prominent eye, supple knees, positive manner– and the sound of the hoof, which indicates good feet. (The ancient Greeks did not shoe their horses). There are even useful tips on approaching the horse to avoid conflict. He discusses training over different terrains and many other useful tips. The translator, Morris H. Morgan, provides extensive notes, not just on technical pointers such as mounting without stirrups or saddle, but also by comparing contemporary sculptures where artists took licence over reality. Furthermore, Morgan provides a fascinating essay The Greek Riding-Horse, which is an extended commentary on Xenophon. Also on this recording is Xenophon’s On The Cavalry General, a second treatise on horsemanship, but taking a different perspective.Voir livre
