All commentaries are clearly separated from the translation and text. 4.More authoritative: Translated by America's leading expert on Sun Tzu, who has written over two dozen books explaining the strategic concepts in the text. 5. More consistent: Eliminates the imprecise word choices that create the obvious internal contradictions so common in most other translations. 6. More balanced: Offers one English sentence for each Chinese phrase to preserve the balance of ideas in the original work. 7.More organized: Retains and numbers the original phrase groups to preserve the contextual relationships for easy study. You can compare this version to other translations and immediately see where other English translation depart from the original Chinese into the translators' own opinions and commentaries.

Two classic works of military strategy that shaped the way we think about warfare: The Art of War by Sun Tzu and On War by Karl von Clausewitz, together in one volume “Civilization might have been spared much of the damage suffered in the world wars . . . if the influence of Clausewitz’s On War had been blended with and balanced by a knowledge of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.”—B. H. Liddel Hart For two thousand years, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War has been the indispensable volume of warcraft. Although his work is the first known analysis of war and warfare, Sun Tzu struck upon a thoroughly modern concept: “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” Karl von Clausewitz, the canny military theorist who famously declared that war is a continuation of politics by other means, also claims paternity of the notion “total war.” On War is the magnum opus of the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. Now these two great minds come together in a single volume that also features an introduction by esteemed military writer Ralph Peters and the Modern Library War Series introduction by Caleb Carr, New York Times bestselling author of The Alienist. (The cover and text refer to The Art of War as The Art of Warfare, an alternate translation of the title.)

This first complete translation of the Bansenshuka—the ‘bible’ of the ninja arts! Like The Art of War, the tenets of Japanese military strategy and tactics offer valuable lessons for success in everyday life. In 1676, a ninja named Fujibayashi collected and combined information from the ninja clans of Iga—regarded to be the homeland of the ninja—and compiled it into an authoritative book. Known as The Bansenhukai, Fujibayashi’s book has now been translated into English by the Historical Ninjutsu Research Team and is widely considered to be the ‘bible’ of ninjutsu, the arts of the ninja. The Book of Ninja begins with an in-depth introduction to the history of Fujibayashi’s scripture. Its teachings take into the secrets of guerrilla warfare and espionage—and reveals how the ninjas mastered: • Spycraft—including nighttime steal and concealment tactics • Weapon and tool building skills • Mission planning and warfare • Adopting the right mindset for tackling inner and outer demons • Capturing criminals and executing night raids • Making secret codes and signs • Predicting weather through an esoteric Buddhist divination An exciting and engaging tome of lost knowledge, The Book of Ninja is the final say in the world of the ninja and the ultimate classic for samurai and ninja enthusiasts alike.

Millions of people worldwide practice t’ai chi, the most popular form of which was codified beginning in the 1960s by Cheng Man Ch’ing. In this scholarly yet practical book, Professor Cheng shows precisely how the postures and moves of t’ai chi work, with examples from anatomy and physics, both internally as energetic principles and externally on opponents. He clarifies the spheres, triangles, and centripetal and centrifugal forces within physical exchanges such as push-hands. Contrasting Western and Chinese techniques of healing, he also explores the relationships of organs to one another in pathology and the necessary dynamics of treatment. Professor Cheng explains how the practitioner may serve as his or her own doctor and, likewise, as the physician or trainer of an attacker. The martial arts, he says, are not a special case of unusual power, simply an aspect of adapting natural and cosmic law to circumstance. This edition of the classic text contains 13 major essays; oral secrets from Cheng’s teacher Yang Cheng’fu; a Q&A with commentary on martial arts classics; the author’s application and functions of each of the 37 postures of the short form, with the original photographs of him as a young man; two prefaces; and much more.

With the power of right-thinking, you will find that the life of your dreams is just within your reach. Master your mind and be the mastermind of your own life.

Genevieve Tan Shu Thung has travelled around the globe to teach people how to harness the power of the mind to create the reality that they desire to experience in life. BOOK REVIEWS "This is a very thought-provoking and enlightening book. For someone who never studied religion or philosophy, it opened many paths of understanding and kindled a desire for further search of wisdom and fulfilment." -- "Anders Nelsson: Veteran Singer, Actor, DJ & Founder of the Anders Nelsson Group of Companies" "This riveting book awakens our mind to human's true potential. It reveals simple strategies that will transform the way you think. You should get ten copies of it - one for yourself and nine to give away. It will change many people's lives." -- "Jonathan Quek: Wealth Coach & Best-selling Author for "Why Gold? Why Silver? Why Now?"" "Genevieve Tan Shu Thung, a mindful seeker in her own right, takes a bold 'fourth-dimensional?' approach in this book to shed insightful light in elaborating some of the salient yet elusive gems found in that timeless classic. In lucid terms with scholarly presentation Genevieve explains how Sun Tzu's strategic philosophy has become increasingly pertinent to modern times. Her unique prose delivered succinctly in a compelling style helps the reader to comprehend and appreciate the very thoughts of Sun Tzu in a meaningful manner. She provides a gentle interpretation of the esoteric concepts envisaged by the illustrious sage. As she unveils the true aspects of the soul-searching masterpiece of Sun Tzu one fails not to see how the original strategy meant to gain victory on the battlefield could transcend into a win-win fait accompli for anyone living in contemporary times. Whether it is a corporate warrior or a harried housewife, Genevieve's book shows the way to a panacea that is already within one's mind's eye." -- "Charles Rex de Silva: Independent Editorial Consultant & Former Editor-in-Chief for the Borneo Bulletin Newspaper" "Life is a battlefield of the mind. Genevieve's holistic approach in writing and explaining Sun Tzu's Art of War is wonderfully written to give a clear understanding on how a troubled mind can implement Sun Tzu's battle techniques in life." -- "Sukhbir Cheema: Journalist for the New Straits Times" "Excellent and compelling arguments from a very talented Author who has clearly mastered the concepts about which she writes. The correlation drawn between the principles of Sun Tzu's 'Art of War' and her own teachings is well-structured, succinctly characterised and thought-provoking at the same time. A wonderful read " -- "Osman Johnson: Shadow Minister for Grand Bahama & Attorney" "A brilliantly innovative application of Sun Tzu's classical treatise. Focusing upon the nature of the Self, it describes the psychological battlefield upon which life goals are fought for, then advises the reader upon strategies to attain them. Clearly set out with practical illustrations, having this book in your armoury ensures your goals WILL be achieved." -- "Maurice Thurman: Author & Retired Teacher"
