Sinossi

In "The Art of War," specifically the Giles translation, Sun Tzu presents a comprehensive treatise on military strategy and tactics, emphasizing the significance of wisdom, deception, and adaptability in warfare. This seminal text is structured into meticulously organized chapters, each addressing different aspects of conflict, such as the importance of terrain, leadership, and the psychological dimensions of battle. Written in a concise, aphoristic style typical of classical Chinese literature, the work transcends its military focus, offering insights into philosophy, governance, and human nature that resonate with various disciplines. Sun Tzu, believed to have lived during the Eastern Zhou period, served as a military general and strategist, which greatly influenced his writing. His experiences undoubtedly informed his profound understanding of conflict, power dynamics, and the human psyche, allowing him to encapsulate timeless principles that remain relevant in contemporary analyses of competitive scenarios, whether in politics, business, or personal endeavors. His profound reflections reveal a keen awareness of the complexities inherent in strategy, making it a pivotal work in both Eastern and Western philosophy. "The Art of War" is not just a military manual; it is a foundational text that challenges readers to reflect on strategy in their own lives. The insights offered within its pages can not only enhance understanding of military and political conflicts but can also be applied to everyday decision-making and personal development. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking wisdom on leadership, competitive dynamics, and the art of persuasion.

  • The Plea of Innocence - Restoring Truth to the American Justice System - cover

    The Plea of Innocence -...

    The Plea of Innocence offers a fundamental reform of the adversarial system: plausibly innocent people may now plead innocent and require the government to search for exonerating facts; in return, they will be required to waive their right to remain silent, speak to government agents, and participate in a search for truth. 
     
     
     
    While almost all the participants within the system hope that only guilty people will be convicted, the unfortunate reality is that innocent people are convicted and imprisoned at an alarming rate. With the privatization of defense institutions, accused innocent people are themselves responsible for finding the facts that could exonerate them. Though the poor are represented by public defenders— almost no one who is charged with a crime has enough money to pay for a complete defense—it is still accused people, not public officials, who bear the entire burden of proving their innocence. 
     
     
     
    Tim Bakken believes that reform of the three-hundred-year-old adversarial system is overdue, and that the government should be responsible for searching for truth rather than being satisfied with due process. Featuring compelling evidence and concrete steps for reform, The Plea of Innocence is at once sensible and revolutionary, a must-listen for anyone invested in restoring truth to the justice system.

    Information Science: The Basics provides an accessible introduction to the multifaceted field of Information Science (IS). 
     
     
     
    Inviting listeners to explore a modern field of study with deep historical foundations, the book begins by considering the complexities of the term "information" and the information life cycle from classification to preservation. Each chapter examines a different area within IS, surveying its history, technologies, and practices with a critical eye. This interdisciplinary field incorporates a wide range of approaches which it shares with humanities, social science, and technology fields. What makes IS unique is its emphasis on the connections between information, technology, and society. The need to share information more effectively in response to social, environmental, and biomedical challenges has never been so urgent; the volume discusses the risks as well as benefits that come with the emerging technologies that make it possible. The book also explores how IS, with its long-standing commitment to intellectual freedom and digital inclusion, and its keen attention to the protection of privacy, data ethics, and algorithmic transparency, can contribute to the creation of a more open and equitable society.
