Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "He who knows not the stratagems is respectable, but he who plays no stratagems in spite of knowing them deserves more respect." In 36 Stratagems Plus, authors Douglas S. Tung and Teresa K. Tung provide a unique collection of ancient Chinese tactics that describe some of the cunning and subtle stratagems-a strategic plan that contains a trap or a ruse for the enemy. Many of these stratagems had their origins in events that occurred during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) and the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280) in China. This collection includes sixty stratagems that illustrate the enlightened exploitation of strategic power. For each stratagem, the Tungs present an eclectic discussion of its theme, the classic Chinese case supplemented by two international cases to illustrate the use of these strategic acts by other nationalities. They then trace its source which is usually the exploit of some of the Chinese generals, statesmen, and ordinary people. The source may be from The Art of War. 36 Stratagems Plus demonstrates that it is not the quantity of stratagems that matter, but rather the way in which they are deployed.

Download or read book The Corpse as Text written by Thea Tomaini and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2017 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1700 and 1900, the subject of disinterment (exhumation) attracted the attention of antiquaries, who constructed a comprehensive memory of the past by 'reading' corpses as documents describing an idealised past. Between 1700 and 1900, the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were stereotyped, idealised, and held as a standard by which the present time could be measured. Various figures in politics, academia, and the church pointed to historical persons such as Henry VIII, Shakespeare, Charles I, and Oliver Cromwell as icons whose lives, deaths and corpses illustrated the victories of English Protestantism, the values of Monarchism (or Republicanism), and the superiority of the English culture and its language. In particular, the subject of disinterment (exhumation) attracted the attention of antiquaries. They constructed a comprehensive memory of the past by 'reading' corpses as documents describing an idealised past. These 'texts' accompanied and enhanced the traditional texts of chronicle, literature, and epitaph. This study explores the cooperation of ideology and aesthetic, the paradox of allure and revulsion, and the uncanny attraction to death. In each case there is a desire for the dead to speak in a contemporary voice; each historical personage becomes symbolic of larger aspects of the contemporary culture. The discourse of the noble body in death is reconfigured to validate English nationalist ideals and to establish the past as a Golden Era of unimpeachable superiority. It was not enough simply to study the lives and deaths of historical figures. Itwas necessary to disinter the corpses, engage physically with the dead, and experience the discourse of validation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the Civil War, fatalities from that conflict had far exceeded previous American experience, devastating families and communities alike. As John Neff shows, commemorating the 620,000 lives lost proved to be a persistent obstacle to the hard work of reuniting the nation, as every memorial observation compelled painful recollections of the war. Neff contends that the significance of the Civil War dead has been largely overlooked and that the literature on the war has so far failed to note how commemorations of the dead provide a means for both expressing lingering animosities and discouraging reconciliation. Commemoration--from private mourning to the often extravagant public remembrances exemplified in cemeteries, monuments, and Memorial Day observances--provided Americans the quintessential forum for engaging the war’s meaning. Additionally, Neff suggests a special significance for the ways in which the commemoration of the dead shaped Northern memory. In his estimation, Northerners were just as active in myth-making after the war. Crafting a “Cause Victorious” myth that was every bit as resonant and powerful as the much better-known “Lost Cause” myth cherished by Southerners, the North asserted through commemorations the existence of a loyal and reunified nation long before it was actually a fact. Neff reveals that as Northerners and Southerners honored their separate dead, they did so in ways that underscore the limits of reconciliation between Union and Confederate veterans, whose mutual animosities lingered for many decades after the end of the war. Ultimately, Neff argues that the process of reunion and reconciliation that has been so much the focus of recent literature either neglects or dismisses the persistent reluctance of both Northerners and Southerners to “forgive and forget,” especially where their war dead were concerned. Despite reunification, the continuing imperative of commemoration reflects a more complex resolution to the war than is even now apparent. His book provides a compelling account of this conflict that marks a major contribution to our understanding of the war and its many meanings.

Book excerpt: "Had I read this military treatise earlier, I might have avoided the disastrous defeat at Waterloo." -- Napoleon of France "The Art of War" is a classic Chinese military treatise attributed to Sun Tzu, a military strategist, and philosopher who lived in ancient China. Believed to have been written in the 5th century BCE, this influential work remains one of the most studied and widely read texts on strategy and tactics. The book is composed of thirteen chapters, each focusing on different aspects of warfare and strategy. While it is primarily a treatise on military strategy, its principles have been applied in various fields beyond the battlefield, including business, politics, and sports. Here are some key themes and principles discussed in "The Art of War": Strategic Planning: Sun Tzu emphasizes the importance of strategic planning, understanding the enemy, and knowing oneself. He stresses that victories are won before the actual combat through careful planning and preparation. Deception and Intelligence: The text underscores the use of deception as a crucial element in warfare. Sun Tzu emphasizes the importance of spies, reconnaissance, and gathering intelligence to gain an advantage over the enemy. Tactical Dispositions: The book delves into the importance of adaptability and flexibility in tactics. Sun Tzu advises that one should be able to adapt to changing circumstances and exploit the weaknesses of the enemy. Strengths and Weaknesses: Understanding one's strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of the enemy, is essential. Sun Tzu discusses the concept of "winning without fighting" by exploiting the enemy's vulnerabilities and avoiding their strengths. Terrain and Environment: The importance of understanding the terrain and environmental factors in warfare is highlighted. Sun Tzu discusses how favorable conditions can be leveraged for strategic advantage. Leadership and Morale: Effective leadership, discipline, and maintaining high morale among troops are emphasized as crucial factors in achieving victory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ancient Near East is considered the cradle of civilization. Mesopotamia is a historical region of Western Asia situated within the Tigris–Euphrates river system. Babylonia was an Amorite state in lower Mesopotamia where an empire was created out of the territories of the former kingdoms of Sumer and Akkad. Assyria was a region on the Upper Tigris whose kings controlled a large kingdom at three different times in history, covering most of the Middle East. Ancient Egypt was a civilization of ancient North Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River. Around the 8th century BC the torch of civilization was taken from the Near East to ancient Greece and Rome. Both Greek and Roman societies flourished and wielded great influence throughout much of Europe, Northern Africa, and Western Asia. The rise of civilization corresponded with the institutional sponsorship of belief in gods, supernatural forces and the afterlife. Many civilizations adopted their own form of Polytheism and each of these nations developed their own mythologies which influenced the culture, arts, and literature of both Eastern and Western civilization.

This book was released on 2023-05-17 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle Ages was an era of dynamic social transformation, and notions of disability in medieval culture reflected how norms and forms of embodiment interacted with gender, class, and race, among other dimensions of human difference. Ideas of disability in courtly romance, saints' lives, chronicles, sagas, secular lyrics, dramas, and pageants demonstrate the nuanced, and sometimes contradictory, relationship between cultural constructions of disability and the lived experience of impairment. An essential resource for researchers, scholars, and students of history, literature, visual art, cultural studies, and education, A Cultural History of Disability in the Middle Ages explores themes and topics such as atypical bodies; mobility impairment; chronic pain and illness; blindness; deafness; speech; learning difficulties; and mental health.
