It is closely associated with very high cases of poverty and malnourished people, of overpopulated and illiterate societies. In this paper, we tell you about it.

Sun Tzu And The Art Of War

That is, the importance of the work transcends time and retains a valuable relevancy no matter how many times the conventions of literature change.

In the case of WALDEN, for example, outside of the realm of those who are fans of classic American Literature, there is relatively little interest in reading this work.With Sun Tzu's classic work, THE ART OF WAR, there exists a...

What is interesting to note in her statement was she quoted the paragraph in the Declaration of Independence that stated “all men are created equal" and “corrected" it by adding something said by a Quaker preacher “and...

Continued references to history all the...
