Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El conflicto es esencial para el desarrollo y crecimiento del hombre y de la sociedad. Lleva a la edificación o a la destrucción de un grupo o de un estado enteros. Como líder de hombres, el lector debe entender ese concepto sin ninguna duda. Si no entiende la necesidad del conflicto, entonces, no debe tener el control de la sociedad de la que cree estar al mando. No obstante, el conflicto no siempre conlleva combate físico. Pero, estar preparado para cualquier eventualidad comprendiendo los controles requeridos, es esencial. Hay que comprender la necesidad de la batalla si se desea desarrollar la propia causa a cualquier nivel, pero no se debe luchar ninguna batalla sino se prevé ganar la guerra. Aunque, Sun Tzu, autor del arte de la guerra, vivió hace dos mil años, sus enseñanzas siguen siendo vigentes; y, este libro, es con seguridad el mejor tratado conocido sobre estrategia escrito hasta la actualidad. Recopilado a lo largo de dos milenios, sus principios son aplicables tanto en la sala de juntas como en el campo de batalla. A diferencia de otras traducciones contemporáneas que se han centrado exclusivamente en la aplicación de este clásico militar a conflictos colectivos, esta interpretación conserva el impacto del original. Traducida por un especialista en Artes Marciales , está libre de comentarios académicos y metáforas ambiguas, ya que Hanshi Kaufman utiliza una prosa sencilla para explicar el mensaje de Sun Tzu. Al igual que el original, esta edición está dividida en trece secciones ofreciendo cada una información vital sobre estrategia militar, que abarca desde la valoración de ejércitos enfrentados hasta el tratamiento apropiado de tropas y el uso de espías. Tanto si el lector es un estudiante de las artes marciales como si es el guerrero de una unidad, este libro le permitirá comprender plenamente las poderosas palabras de Sun Tzu.

Download or read book Visual Propaganda Exhibitions and the Spanish Civil War written by MiriamM. Basilio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War is a history of art during wartime that analyzes images in various media that circulated widely and were encountered daily by Spaniards on city walls, in print, and in exhibitions. Tangible elements of the nation?s past?monuments, cultural property, and art-historical icons?were displayed in temporary exhibitions and museums, as well as reproduced on posters and in print media, to rally the population, define national identity, and reinvent distant and recent history. Artists, political-party propagandists, and government administrators believed that images on the street, in print, and in exhibitions would create a community of viewers, brought together during the staging of public exhibitions to understand their own roles as Spaniards. This book draws on extensive archival research, brings to light unpublished documents, and examines visual propaganda, exhibitions, and texts unavailable in English. It engages with questions of national self-definition and historical memory at their intersections with the fine arts, visual culture, exhibition history, tourism, and propaganda during the Spanish Civil War and immediate post-war period, as well as contemporary responses to the contested legacy of the Spanish Civil War. It will be of interest to scholars in art history, visual and cultural history, history, and museum studies.

Download or read book The Art of War written by Sun-Tzu and published by Harper Perennial Modern Classics. This book was released on 2008-04-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sun-tzu's The Art of War is the classic work on strategic thinking. Throughout recorded history, Sun-tzu's wisdom, rules, and philosophy have been eagerly embraced by warriors, leaders, and gentle contemplators alike. This edition is an entirely new text based on manuscripts discovered in Linyi, China, in 1972 that predate all previous texts by as many as one thousand years. To better convey Sun-tzu's original intent, translator, researcher, and interpreter J. H. Huang traced the roots of the language to Sun-tzu's own time—before 221 b.c. In addition to his wonderfully clear interpretation, Huang gives readers an introduction to the history behind The Art of War, includes six appendices—five of which were uncovered at Linyi and are not available in any other edition—and offers his own insightful comments on the meaning of the text.
