Paths, Dangers, Strategies

by Nick Bostrom

This profoundly ambitious and original book picks its way carefully through a vast tract of forbiddingly difficult intellectual terrain.

by Sun Tzu

Widely regarded as "The Oldest Military Treatise in the World," this landmark work covers principles of strategy, tactics, maneuvering, communication, and supplies; the use of terrain, fire, and the seasons of the year; the classification and utilization of spies; the treatment of soldiers, including captives, all have a modern ring to them.
