THE ART OF WAR
|
|
An ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the late Spring
and Autumn period (roughly 5th century BC). The work, which is attributed to
the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu ("Master Sun"), is
composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to a different set of skills or
art related to warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics.
For almost 1,500 years, it was the lead text in an anthology that was formalized
as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art
of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare, has
influenced both East Asian and Western military theory and thinking, and has
found a variety of applications in myriad competitive non-military endeavors
across the modern world including espionage,[2] culture, politics, business,
and sports.

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human
Societies
|
|
Transdisciplinary non-fiction book by the American author Jared Diamond. The book attempts to explain why Eurasian and North African civilizations have survived and conquered others, while arguing against the idea that Eurasian hegemony is due to any form of Eurasian intellectual, moral, or inherent genetic superiority. Diamond argues that the gaps in power and technology between human societies originate primarily in environmental differences, which are amplified by various positive feedback loops. When cultural or genetic differences have favored Eurasians (for example, written language or the development among Eurasians of resistance to endemic diseases), he asserts that these advantages occurred because of the influence of geography on societies and cultures (for example, by facilitating commerce and trade between different cultures) and were not inherent in the Eurasian genomes.

Nineteen
Eighty-Four is a novel that never seems to age. Its elegant language to its
haunting imagery of oppression and mind control, Orwell’s seminal work always
seems to be describing a near-future dystopia that’s just around the corner.
The tragic story follows Winston Smith, a man who lives in a future England
where truth has become meaningless and love has become a force for evil. With
frequent references in pop culture to the “thought police,” Nineteen
Eighty-Four is not just about the dangers of oppressive political regimes but
also the fundamental weakness within us all. The book’s impact is so great
that it has supplied most of the vocabulary we use when discussing
totalitarian states, and more than 70 years after its publication it still
has plenty to teach us about an individual’s role in society.

in History

It is a ranking of the 100 people who, according to Hart, most
influenced human history.[3][4][5][6] Unlike various other rankings at the
time, Hart was not attempting to rank on "greatness" as a
criterion, but rather whose actions most changed the course of human history.
