Synopsis

A military strategist and general of the fifth or sixth century BC, Sun Tzu served the state of Wu near the end of the Spring and Autumn period. He is traditionally ascribed as the author of ‘The Art of War’, a systematic guide to strategy and tactics for rulers and commanders. The book discusses various manoeuvres and the effect of terrain on the outcome of battles. It stresses the importance of accurate information about the enemy’s forces, dispositions and deployments and movements. The treatise’s insistence on the close relationship between political considerations and military policy went to inform the thinking of politicians, generals and noted leaders across the world.  Delphi’s Eastern Treasures Series provides eReaders with rare and precious works of Middle-Eastern and Asian literature, featuring prominent works of history, fiction, religion and philosophy, complemented with the original texts.  This eBook presents Sun Tzu’s complete works, with illustrations, a concise introduction, multiple translations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    Sludge - What Stops Us from...

    How we became so burdened by red tape and unnecessary paperwork, and why we must do better. 
     
     
     
    We've all had to fight our way through administrative sludge—filling out complicated online forms, mailing in paperwork, standing in line at the motor vehicle registry. This kind of red tape is a nuisance, but, as Cass Sunstein shows in Sludge, it can also also impair health, reduce growth, entrench poverty, and exacerbate inequality. Confronted by sludge, people just give up—and lose a promised outcome: a visa, a job, a permit, an educational opportunity, necessary medical help. In this lively and entertaining look at the terribleness of sludge, Sunstein explains what we can do to reduce it. 
     
     
     
    Because of sludge, Sunstein, explains, too many people don't receive benefits to which they are entitled. Sludge even prevents many people from exercising their constitutional rights—when, for example, barriers to voting in an election are too high. Sunstein takes listeners on a tour of the not-so-wonderful world of sludge, describes justifications for certain kinds of sludge, and proposes "Sludge Audits" as a way to measure the effects of sludge. On balance, Sunstein argues, sludge infringes on human dignity, making people feel that their time and even their lives don't matter. We must do better.

    The Wager We Never Won

    The Wager We Never Won is a meditation on the human obsession with control — our endless attempts to gamble with chaos, to negotiate with fate, to turn risk into meaning. Through lyrical prose and quiet revelation, the book traces the lineage of ambition from the explorers who defied the sea to the modern dreamers who believe progress will save them. It asks whether courage and arrogance have ever truly been different, and whether survival itself might be the most dangerous illusion of all. 
    This is not a story of defeat, but of understanding: that the beauty of humanity lies not in its triumphs, but in its willingness to keep playing a game it cannot win — to build, to fail, to rebuild again, even as the tide takes everything back.
