Paperback. Condición: Good. The Art of War is almost certainly the most famous study of strategy ever written and has had an extraordinary influence on the history of warfare. The principles Sun-tzu expounded were utilized brilliantly by such great Asian war leaders as Mao Tse-tung, Giap, and Yamamoto. First translated two hundred years ago by a French missionary, Sun-tzu's Art of War has been credited with influencing Napoleon, the German General Staff, and even the planning for Desert Storm. Many Japanese companies make this book required reading for their key executives. And increasingly, Western businesspeople and others are turning to the Art of War for inspiration and advice on how to succeed in competitive situations of all kinds. Unlike most editions of Sun-tzu currently available (many simply retreads of older, flawed translations), this superb new translation makes use of the best available classical Chinese manuscripts, including the ancient"tomb text? version discovered by archaeologists at Linyi, China. Ralph Sawyer, an outstanding Western scholar of ancient Chinese warfare and a successful businessman in his own right, places this classic work of strategy in its proper historical context. Sawyer supplies a portrait of Sun-tzu's era and outlines several battles of the period that may have either influenced Sun-tzu or been conducted by him. While appreciative of the philosophical richness of the Art of War , this edition stresses Sun-tzu's practical origins and presents a translation that is both accurate and accessible.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. - Waterproof - Tear-Resistant - Topographic MapSculpted by the Colorado River, stretching 278 miles long and one mile deep, the Grand Canyon is without a doubt one of the most incredible examples of erosion on earth. First protected in 1893 as a forest reserve and later a national monument, the Grand Canyon eventually became a national park in 1919. Sixty years later, in 1979, the Grand Canyon was recognized as a World Heritage Site for its geologic significance, natural beauty, biological environments, and diverse topography. One of the seven wonders of the natural world, the Grand Canyon is truly a bucket-list stop. This spectacular wilderness with endless cliffs and canyons, varying biodiversity, and unique geologic features has something for everyone.The Grand Canyon National Park Day Hikes Topographic Map Guide contains detailed maps for 18 of Grand Canyon's finest day hikes. It includes well-known hikes and some off-the-beaten-path trails. They range from easy strolls to strenuous climbs, selected to give you a sampling of all the park has to offer. Together, they cover more than 100 miles of adventures. One-third of the selected hikes are less than 6 miles long, two-thirds are less than 8 miles, and two hikes are longer than 12 miles long.Each of the 18 maps include directions to the trailhead, the total distance to complete the hike, and an estimate of the degree of difficulty. Also provided are elevations of key points on the trail, an elevation profile for the hike, and a calculation of the hike's total elevation gain. Concise trail descriptions will help you find the hikes that best suit your interests, conditioning, and available time.Every Trails Illustrated map is printed on Backcountry Tough waterproof, tear-resistant paper. A full UTM grid is printed on the map to aid with GPS navigation. Every map purchase helps support the National Geographic Society, an impact driven, nonprofit organization with global reach that uses the power of science, exploration, education, and storytelling to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world.Map Scale = 1:31,680Folded Size = 4.25 x 9.38.…
