In the words of Sun Tzu, "To win without fighting is best." This timeless Chinese classic captures the essence of military strategy used in ancient East Asia, with lessons on how to handle conflict confidently, efficiently, and successfully. The techniques and instructions discussed in The Art of War apply to competition and conflict on every level, from the interpersonal to the international. Its aim is invincibility, victory without battle, and unassailable strength through an understanding of the physics, politics, and psychology of conflict. Thomas Cleary's translation is a breakthrough achievement that has been a gold standard among translations for three decades, offering the complete text in eminently readable prose with short commentaries by other ancient Chinese strategists and philosophers interwoven throughout.

<p>Think and Grow Rich has been called the &quot;Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature.&quot; It was the first book to boldly ask, &quot;What makes a winner?&quot; The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world&apos;s winners himself. The most famous of all teachers of success spent &quot;a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort&quot; to produce the &quot;Law of Success&quot; philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one. In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, and consultant in human resources management and an expert in applying Hill&apos;s thought, deftly interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton, achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers.</p>

Geijers idéer mäter sig väl med giganter som David Hume, Adam Smith och Alexis de Tocqueville.<br/><br/>Trots att Geijer under sin livstid uppmärksammades i stora delar av Europa, och hans verk översattes till flera språk, har en heltäckande studie för vår tid saknats tills nu.<br/><br/><i>Freedom in Sweden</i> är en introduktion till en av det tidiga 1800-talets pionjärer, en era som såg samhällsvetenskaperna födas och banade väg för det moderna samhället.<br/><br/><b>Erik Gustaf Geijer</b> (1783-1847) är en av Sveriges mest kända författare, akademiker och intellektuella från första hälften av artonhundratalet. Geijer var verksam som professor i historia vid Uppsala universitet 1817-1846, men också som kompositör, politiker, essäist och poet.
