The Art of War

Sun Tzu

Beschreibung

THE ART OF WAR (Chinese: 孫子兵法; pinyin: Sūnzĭ bīngfǎ) is an ancient Chinese military treatise attributed to Sun Tzu, a high-ranking military general, strategist and tactician, and kindred to the Realpolitik of his time, termed in China as Legalism. The text is composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare. It is commonly thought of as a definitive work on military strategy and tactics. It has been the most famous and influential of China's Seven Military Classics, and "for the last two thousand years it remained the most important military treatise in Asia, where even the common people knew it by name." It has had an influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond.
Beyond its military and intelligence applications from earliest days to the present time, THE ART OF WAR has been applied to many fields well outside of the military. Much of the text is about how to fight wars without actually having to do battle: it gives tips on how to outsmart one's opponent so that physical battle is not necessary. As such, it has found application as a training guide for many competitive endeavors that do not involve actual combat. There are business books applying its lessons to office politics and corporate strategy. Many companies make the book required reading for their key executives. The book is also popular among Western business management, who have turned to it for inspiration and advice on how to succeed in competitive business situations. It has also been applied to the field of education. The Art of War has been the subject of law books and legal articles on the trial process, including negotiation tactics and trial strategy.

Wanamaker's - Meet Me at the Eagle

Michael J. Lisicky

An “informative and entertaining” history of the famed Philadelphia department store, with photos included (Montgomery News).   Philadelphia was once the proud home of Wanamaker’s, a department store founded by the retail giant John Wanamaker in 1861. Its name was synonymous with service, and Philadelphians still fondly remember the massive bronze eagle in the Grand Court, concerts from the world’s largest pipe organ, and the spectacular Christmas festivities.    In this book, Philadelphia native Michael J. Lisicky takes a nostalgic journey through the history of the store, from its beginnings as a haberdashery to its growth into New York and Delaware and the final poignant closing of its doors. Lisicky brilliantly combines interviews with store insiders, forgotten recipes, and memories from local celebrities such as Trudy Haynes and Sally Starr to bring readers back to the soft glow of the marble atrium and the quiet elegance of the Crystal Tea Room that was Wanamaker’s.   “A wonderfully affectionate look at the Market St. store whose name, for generations, was symbolic of Philly.”—Philadelphia Daily News

Madoff with the Money

Jerry Oppenheimer

Madoff with the Money is a deeply disturbing narrative portrait of Bernie Madoff based on dozens of exclusive, news-making interviews -- beginning with his roots and the values, or lack thereof, he was taught in the Madoff home in working class Laurelton, Queens, in the '40s and '50s, to his high-life on Wall Street and in the super-rich enclaves of Palm Beach, London and the French Riviera and everywhere else he stalked, pulling off his shocking $50 billion Ponzi scheme. Through bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimers in depth reporting there will be new revelations to this startling case. Also profiled will be the dozens, if not hundreds of trusting -- and sometimes avaricious victims -- ranging from non-profit Jewish charities, to the likes of seemingly sophisticated celebrities such as Larry King and Zsa Zsa Gabor, to the brilliant French investment manager who slit his wrists after entrusting and losing $1.4 billion to one of history's all-time charlatans -- a manipulative Svengali who the author compares to psychopaths like Charles Manson and Jim Jones.
