The Art Of War For Executives

Success is an art form that few can master. Here, Sun Tzu’s ancient principles of war, reinterpreted for the modern businessperson, offer the skills to gain an advantage and achieve success on the corporate battlefield…and the strategies to win at work when conflicts arise.

The Art Of War

The first book in The Art of War Special Edition Series is the classic treatise on military strategy and managing conflict, The Art of War by Sun Tzu (with linked table of contents), which presents this timeless classic in three complete translations The first translation contains the complete thirteen chapters of Sun Tzu’s masterpiece alone. This presentation avoids the objection that commentary tends to clutter and obscure the clarity of thought of the ancient military genius. The second translation by Lionel Giles includes his extensive introduction and the fully annotated text with explanatory notes and critical commentary. His Introduction includes an historical account of Sun Tzu’s work, evaluations by and of early Chinese commentators, an essay examining the traditional Chinese attitudes toward war and a bibliography that details Giles’ source materials. The text in this section includes critical commentary and notes by both the Chinese historians as well as by Giles himself. Part 3 presents The Art of War in Chinese characters, including all 13 chapters. Lionel Giles, as the Keeper of the Department of Oriental printed Books and Manuscripts of the British Museum, was uniquely qualified to translate and explain this great classic Chinese work to Western readers. First published in 1910, Giles’ translation is widely considered to be the definitive English version.

Putovanje snovima

Posljednjih godina priroda spavanja, naši obrasci spavanja, količina spavanja i opasnosti koje prijete od pomanjkanja sna postali su nam iznimno važnima. Ljudi rade sve duže, mijenja se priroda poslova koje radimo, a jaz između takozvanog privatnog i poslovnog (kuće i ureda), zahvaljujući mobilnim telefonima i internetu, sve se više smanjuje. Od premorenosti do nesanice, od noćnih mora do neispavanosti pitanje kvalitete spavanja postalo je jedno od značajnijih našeg doba. Zašto spavamo? Spavamo li dovoljno? Jesmo li pod stresom zbog nedostatka sna? Ili nedostatak sna uzrokuje stres? Zašto neki od nas imaju tolike poteškoće sa spavanjem i na koji ih način možemo riješiti? Ovo su samo neka od pitanja koja nas drže budne noćima, tjerajući nas da se prevrćemo po krevetu, nikako ne uspijevajući zaspati. Jim Horne ponudit će nam odgovore na ta i mnoga druga pitanja o tome što nam znanost može reći o spavanju. Otkrit će nam što se zbiva u našim mozgovima i tijelima ispod koprene sna, praćenjem dnevnih uspona i padova tjelesnoga sata, određivanjem obrazaca spavanja (jeste li sova ili ševa?) te isticanjem važnosti kratkih drijemeža, a progovara i o prijepornoj nedoumici pati li suvremeni svijet od manjka sna. Koristeći se uvidima iz fiziologije mozga, psihologije, medicine i društvenim faktorima, ne bježeći od kontroverznih tema poput istraživanja na temu koliko nam sati sna zapravo treba, bogato informativna o prirodi spavanja, ova bi vam knjiga mogla pomoći da se napokon dobro odmorite preko noći.

Trickster

Trickster Branka Maleša pravo je osvježenje u suvremenoj hrvatskoj pjesničkoj produkciji. Iako nas Maleš iz jedne knjige u drugu uspije razveseliti svojim neobičnim duhovnim izvorištima, u Tricksteru je to možda i najpotpunije opravdano. Pjesnikova magija uranja u sfere mitološkoga, da bi posve preobražena zasjala u stihovima potpuno novih ritmova.

Varke i čežnje

Kad P.D. James napiše roman o serijskom ubojici, onda je to mnogo više od napete krimi priče. Iako je od Agathe Christie naslijedila laskavu titulu kraljice zločina, a kasnije čak prozvana Bloody Mamie, P.D. James odavna ne smatraju tek predstavnicom kriminalističkog žanra. U fabule uvijek upliće i goruće društvene probleme, nazvavši svoja djela moralnim dramam 20. stoljeća. Tako se i u romanu Varke i čežnje potraga za nastranim daviteljem, Zviždačem, odvija se usporedo s kampanjom mjesnih aktivista protiv uprave nuklearke, koja se preteći nadvila nad krajolik.

Šumski duh

Prvi roman Gorana Samardžića Šumski duh ispisuje živ, neposredan prikaz jednog „ćoška“ u centru Beograda, sa svim pokušajima „momaka iz kraja“ da dokažu svoju snagu i po bilo čemu se uzdignu iznad svog porekla. To ne znači da ova knjiga problem odrastanja u žestokom delu grada tretira na tipičan način. Burna i na momente potresna beogradska svakodnevica Koste, njegove devojke Dijane, njenog gej-brata i lokalnih tvrdih momaka, ispostavlja se kao svojevrstan mentalni uvod u rat, u konkretnom slučaju u opsadu Sarajeva. One osobine koje uzrokuju nasilje u mladosti, prepoznaju se u uvećanoj meri i ogoljenom vidu u krajnje ekstremnoj priči kakva je rat, koji je u ovom romanu opisan bez ideoloških balasta.

Exhibition design

Featuring a selection of the best installations realized in museums, exhibitions and other spaces, this volume gives an in-depth account of recent developments in the art of exhibition design in Italy. With a range of the most significant works of the last ten years, the book seeks to draw the reader?s attention to a remarkably Italian discipline, the works of Franco Albini, BBPR, Carlo Scarpa and others, focusing on a series of spaces and installations in which the innovatory aspects of exhibition design are most evident. Italian exhibition design is unique insofar as it integrates the historic space with that of the exhibition, involving not only restoration and conservation but also a modern approach to architectural design deriving from the historical tradition of adding to what has already been built. The book illustrates this methodology with a variety of exhibition installations realized in Italy that have allowed works of art, handicrafts and the products of industry to be displayed to their best advantage. Thus this study interprets exhibition design as a means of transformation and investigation of spaces and materials that is capable of propagating and redefining the equilibrium existing between interiors and their functions, and between the users and the works. This book is, therefore an invaluable tool for those wishing to learn as much as possible about the new projects, with special emphasis being placed on the technical details and the materials used. Pietro Carlo Pellegrini, who was born in Lucca in 1957, studied at the universities of Rome and Pescara, where he graduated in 1983. He is now professor of architectural design in the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Genoa. His projects have been published in books and journals, including Domus, Casabella Area, Detail and Bauwelt.

Design as Art

An illustrated journey into the artistic possibilities of modern design, by the enfant terrible of Italian art and design for most of the twentieth century. Bruno Munari was among the most inspirational designers of all time, described by Picasso as “the new Leonardo.” Munari insisted that design be beautiful, functional and accessible, and this enlightening and highly entertaining book sets out his ideas about visual, graphic and industrial design and the role it plays in the objects we use everyday. Lamps, road signs, typography, posters, children’s books, advertising, cars and chairs—these are just some of the subjects to which he turns his illuminating gaze.
