The remarkably realistic account of the marooned Crusoe's ability to make himself an endurable existence in his solitude bespeaks Defoe's genius for lifelike fiction--and argues a strong case for individualism. 8 cassettes.

Sun Tzu

Military

Master Sun said: Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting. For more than two thousand years, The Art of War has stood as a cornerstone of Chinese culture, a lucid text that reveals as much about psychology, politics, and economics as it does about battlefield strategy. For those seeking a deeper understanding of this seminal work, scholar John Minford brings the words of Sun-tzu to life for modern listeners, presenting the core text in two formats: Part I: The original text by Sun-tzu, translated by John Minford, read by Ray Porter The unadorned thirteen chapters allow listeners to form their own first impressions of the ancient words of wisdom ascribed to Sun-tzu. Part II: Introduction to the text by John Minford, read by Lorna Raver In a lively, learned introduction, Minford explores the life and times of Sun-tzu and considers how best to read and understand the work today. Part IIa: Original text with running commentary by traditional Chinese scholars and translator, read by Ray Porter and Lorna Raver The original text is presented again, this time with extensive running commentary by traditional Chinese scholars and others, providing context and subtext for the work. Even those readers familiar with The Art of War will experience it anew, finding it more fascinating and more relevant than ever.

[*Read by Karen White] Researcher and thought leader Dr. Brene Brown offers a powerful new vision that encourages us to dare greatly: to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly, and to courageously engage in our lives. ''It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.'' --Theodore Roosevelt Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable, or to dare greatly. Whether the arena is a new relationship, an important meeting, our creative process, or a difficult family conversation, we must find the courage to walk into vulnerability and engage with our whole hearts. In Daring Greatly, Dr. Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability. Based on twelve years of research, her book argues that vulnerability is not weakness but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement, and meaningful connection. The book that Dr. Brown's many fans have been waiting for, Daring Greatly will spark a new spirit of truth -- and trust -- in our organizations, families, schools, and communities.
