bookreviewanalysis
This document analyzes book reviews of Walden from different time periods. Early reviews from 1854 praised Thoreau's skillful writing and descriptions of nature. Later reviews expressed reluctant appreciation for Walden's message of self-reliance but acknowledged the beauty of Thoreau's writing. Reviews from the 1960s reflected this same attitude, seeing Thoreau as an eccentric but also as a voice for social ethics. Even later reviews note that advances in society made Thoreau's philosophy harder to follow but that his writing remained evocative and opened new meanings for words. The document examines how Walden has endured through history by relating to core human truths beneath changes in society.

Claire Byrne - New Journalism
New Journalism aimed to present readers with a larger "interpretive truth" through creative, evocative storytelling rather than just facts. It used literary techniques like scenes, dialogue and symbolism. Tom Wolfe was a founding father known for works like The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Hunter S. Thompson pioneered Gonzo Journalism with erratic, subjective styles. While influential, New Journalism was criticized for lack of transparency and blending fiction and journalism. It declined as topics changed and new media emerged but helped shape public opinion during its era.

New journalism
This document discusses the rise and fall of New Journalism in the 1960s and 70s. New Journalism involved using fictional techniques like narrative storytelling and including the author's perspective in journalistic articles. Key figures who helped define the movement included Gay Talese, Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, and Truman Capote. While their specific techniques differed, collectively they challenged objectivity standards. By the late 70s, debates emerged around whether New Journalism was still relevant as the style had been taken to extremes.
New historicism
The document discusses different methods of literary criticism, focusing on New Historicism. New Historicism examines a text within the historical context in which it was written to understand how power structures and ideologies shaped its meaning. It argues that interpreting a work only based on its text fails to consider how its meaning has changed over time and been influenced by the period it was produced in. Two examples given are how Uncle Tom's Cabin and Brave New World are understood differently today than when they were first published.
Criticism.
New Historicism examines how literature is influenced by both the history of the author's time as well as the critic's own historical context. It evaluates external historical influences on the author and interprets texts within their social, psychological, and theoretical settings. New Criticism focuses on close reading of texts as self-contained aesthetic objects. Feminist criticism applies feminist theory and principles to critique literature's language, structure, and themes from a feminist perspective.

Among other things, the ammount of philisophical change that occured during this time was incredible: from Sun Tzu and the Art of War to Confucius and his philosophy for daily life. Covering just these two people alone gives us an in depth look into china at the time and to further this understanding we can look at military adaptations in technology and influences into dialy life via a new philosphy.
As a historian intrigued by warfare, the technological advancements made during this time were of equal importance and interest and laid the foundation for modern conflict and stratagem. Much of this would not have been possible without Sun Tzu, one of the leading generals of the time. Widely regarded as a master tactician among military historians, he documented his tactics for conducting war in a volume called "The Art of War". The book itself remains one of the foremost military works of literature in history and has been on the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps reading list for several years.

War Of The Worlds Essay. Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
This document discusses the challenges and opportunities of writing an essay on H.G. Wells' novel "War of the Worlds". It notes that while the topic is iconic, it requires a fresh perspective to avoid clichés. It also allows for an in-depth exploration of themes like technological advancement and humanity's vulnerability. Additionally, balancing a summary of the plot with a thematic analysis can be difficult, as can navigating different interpretations across adaptations. Thorough research on the historical context when Wells wrote adds depth but requires commitment. Finally, crafting a unique thesis that contributes something new is challenging given existing literature, requiring a creative analytical approach.

The document discusses the terra cotta army of China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang and other elements of his legacy. It summarizes that while the emperor is said to have built the terra cotta army to protect him in the afterlife, he was actually an atheist, and it was instead intended as a memorial and tourist attraction. It discusses two important philosophical texts from the time of the first emperor - The Art of War (Pingfa) and the Tao Te Ching. However, modern interpretations see them as about war when they were actually intended as guides for achieving objectives without conflict. The document critiques standard historical accounts and suggests the texts were teaching tools used in academies established by the emperor to develop

Essays should have a clear argument supported by evidence from the readings (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B3D5tcB4swW_WmVTeXF4LVdWWVE?usp=sharing ). While it is fine to state your personal opinion on these questions, please be sure that you support your opinion with historical evidence. The best answers will have an argument and will be very detailed. The answer should have a beginning, middle and an end, and will probably be 400 words.
1. What role does the West play in shaping modern East Asia? How does this role change over time (if it does change). In your opinion is the role of the West a net positive or a net negative? Why?
2. What are the merits and demerits of the Champion of the East and the Gentleman of Western Learning’s arguments in Discourse of Three Drunkards on Government. Which view do you support? Why?
3. What is the nature of nationalism in the Japanese and Chinese contexts? What does it stem from? How do nationalistic sentiments change in the first three decades of the twentieth century in East Asia?
4. Describe the changes in Japan-Chinese relations over time beginning in 1895 up through 1937. In what ways do relations change? What factors force them to change?
5. By the 1920s, Japan had already become an important world power, while China remained mired in warlord politics and political factionalism. How do you account for the differences in China and Japan? What factors helped facilitate Japan’s “rise”?
6. Evaluate the arguments made by Japanese leaders regarding Pan Asianism from the early 20th century up through the creation of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. What was attractive about these sentiments for many people in East Asia? How do you yourself feel about the way the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere was portrayed?
7. How did Chiang Kaishek rise to prominence in China in the 1920s? What was the legitimacy of Chiang Kaishek’s Nationalist government based upon? How do the campaigns against the Chinese Communist Party fit into this?
8. How do you view Wang Jingwei? Was he a collaborator as he is commonly portrayed in China or is he a patriot whose reputation has been slandered since the end of the war? To answer this question, you must address the differences between collaborators and resisters in the wartime period. What constitutes these two categories? What problems are there in using these two turns of phrase?
9. Scholars have suggested that the Pacific War between Japan and the United States was inevitable, but there is a considerable amount of disagreement about when it became inevitable. What single point do you consider to be the “point of no return” for the outbreak of the war? Please note in your response at least two other potential points and explain why you did not choose them.

Ancient Warfare - Sun Tzu
Promotion for the latest issue of Ancient Origins magazine featuring a Q&A on Sun Tzu's alleged "Art of War."
The king who made war illegal
Qin Shi Huang - first emperor of China - ended the period of the Warring States and founded an empire based on peace.
Sun Tzu for Rationalists
This document discusses a book called "The School of Sun Tzu: Winning Empires without War" that describes how China developed a methodology based on Sun Tzu's teachings over 2,300 years ago to end a 200-year war. This methodology established a government that is still in place today and is the longest-standing government institution. The author argues that we can learn from China's experience in strategically generating collective action to address today's troubling times and make progress on issues like global peace and environmental protection.
The First Emperor of China: Fiction & Fact
2300 years ago China was founded by a brilliant leader. He developed a methodology that helped end 200 years of war; and as soon as that was done, he persuaded the warring states to amalgamate into the great empire of China. His name was Qin Shi Huang. Little is known about him today.
Sun Tzu on Intelligence
The document summarizes a book that argues Sun Tzu's "Art of War" was actually about achieving objectives through diplomacy rather than military conflict. The book claims Sun Tzu's work was called "Ping-fa", meaning "The Art of Diplomacy", and provided a methodology for the first emperor of China to unify the country through peaceful means rather than continued warfare. The excerpt outlines the final chapter on intelligence gathering, emphasizing its importance for determining when action is needed and avoiding unnecessary conflict through effective information collection and analysis.
Issues in conflict theory and practice
If we are serious about conflict - and if we want to do something about it - then we need to start by looking at what it is - and what it is not - and what we are doing about it. Some of what we have institutionalized may not be all that beneficial.
KM National and International
Knowledge Management can help meet organization needs at the local, national and international levels.
KM, Public Safety & Security
The document discusses knowledge management (KM) and its importance for organizations, especially in national security. It provides recommendations for establishing KM practices such as systematically involving those with relevant expertise in decisions, establishing processes for knowledge sharing, and ensuring accessible institutional learning. The document emphasizes that KM is about relationships and decision-making, not just tools, and stresses the need for integrated and interoperable systems between agencies to better share information and "connect the dots".
Conducting a Knowledge Audit
This document discusses the need for knowledge auditing and provides guidance on conducting a knowledge audit. It notes that knowledge audits can identify gaps and redundancies in organizational knowledge, assess how well knowledge needs are being met, and determine how to improve knowledge work and processes. The document outlines various methods for a knowledge audit, including interviews, surveys, observations, and testing findings with internal and external audiences. It suggests the audit should identify strengths and deficiencies in employee knowledge, information flows, relationship issues, and planned knowledge management initiatives. The goal of the audit is to inform a knowledge management plan and projects to enhance the organization's knowledge work and processes over time.
Support your Public Library
Are you fighting to increase resources for your library? Here's a presentation made to a large city board that may be of assistance.
Conducting a Knowledge - Business workshop
Think you want to get into Knowledge Management? Don't buy an off the shelf solution. There are none. Start with an organizational diagnostic. Do it with your own people. Define the need(s) and build / buy it at home.
KM Models and Samples
This document discusses characteristics of a "knowledge organization" and provides examples from the real estate industry. It argues that a knowledge organization's main assets and profits come from intellectual capital. It then lists several key aspects of a knowledge organization, including structured data, information holdings, defined processes, and a culture of knowledge sharing. The document proposes some specific ideas for sharing information and knowledge, such as communities of practice, best practices documentation, and exit interviews. Overall, it advocates for organizations to focus on knowledge management in order to remain innovative and aware of their external environment.
Public safety and intellectual capital
Being "effective" in supporting national security and challenging terrorism means a whole new approach to managing information and knowledge
KM: Hit or Myth?
For a very long time there has been a lot of debate whether KM is the "bright new thing" or whether is just overblown bumphf. Decide for yourself!
Precipitating Knowledge Management (KM)
1. The document discusses precipitating a knowledge management (KM) solution to address issues around isolation, division, and decreasing commitment in organizations.
2. It draws an analogy between chemical precipitation in solutions and how KM can help "settle out" insights from diverse parts of an organization.
3. The document argues that both business and IT management need KM to better understand work processes, make decisions together, and leverage their collective intellectual capital for the benefit of the organization.

Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

The Sun Tzu School (US Review)
- 1. The School of Sun Tzu: Winning Empires without War by David G. Jones
- 2. The School of Sun Tzu: Winning Empires without War by David G. Jones iUniverse Book review by Michael Radon ©2018 All Rights Reserved "Because Bing-fa is intentionally, and delightfully, metaphorical, the messages need to be ferreted out, tasted, and tested.”
- 3. Many people have heard of the classic Chinese text The Art of War by Sun Tzu and may also be somewhat familiar with the way in which our society tends to twist its messages of troop deployment and terrain navigation into some sort of business strategy. The author of this examination of Sun Tzu lays forth a compelling argument that much of what we understand about this ancient text is colored by mistranslations, commentaries of existing erroneous commentaries, and even revisionist histories of China’s first empire. Re-examining this classic work of Chinese literature and understanding it as a series of educational metaphors rather than literal pieces of advice allow it to appear as a tool for cooperation rather than conquering and sheds a whole new light on what so many people claim to understand.
- 4. Demonstrating a profound understanding not only of the original text but of many of the most popular translations and commentaries of The Art of War, the author provides these with equal time while also offering his interpretations as well as an analysis of what others have gleaned from the text. This helpful approach allows readers to apply the author’s perspective to the translated text and then see how it sizes up to other interpretations in the voluminous footnotes.
- 5. Through the author’s provision of ample history, modern perspectives from books and magazines, and even well-known Chinese parables, readers can get a more complete picture on the realities of not only The Art of War (referred to largely by its untranslated name, Bing-fa) but also of Sun Tzu “himself.” The resulting read is enlightening and challenging to preconceived notions but in a way that makes plenty of sense and allows the reader to create their own conclusions based on their understanding and the compelling evidence put forth by the author.
