Why Men Never Remember & Women Never Forget
Men and women are different...and this book uncovers the neuroscientific reasons behind age-old disputes between men and women, while providing an authoritative and reader-friendly guide to resolving these differences. Why won`t he ask for directions? Why does she always want to talk about the relationship? Why can`t he see that something is bothering her? There are so many questions that arise out of relationships and disagreements between men and women. Perhaps the two biggest questions are: why is it so hard for men and women to understand each other...and what can we do about it? "Why Men Never Remember and Women Never Forget" provides the answers. According to Dr Marianne Legato, an internationally recognized expert in gender-specific medicine, male and female brains are chemically and structurally different. And scientists are now finding out how these differences cause us to approach problems and experience the world in such different ways. So how do we bridge this physiological gap? Dr Legato provides strategies and tips for learning to `think` like the other sex in order to get past our differences and offers advice for dealing with issues wherever they arise.

The Art Of War
Preserved in China for more than 2,000 years before it was brought to the West by the French, this compact little book is widely regarded as the oldest military treatise in the world. Rumored to have been used by Napoleon in his campaigns to conquer Europe, it today retains much of its original merit. American officers read it closely during World War II. The Japanese army studied the work for decades, and many twentieth-century Chinese officers are said to have known the book by heart. More recently, it has also been viewed as a valuable guide to competing successfully in business. Stressing the importance of attacking your enemy when he is unprepared and scheming to discover his plans, the author advises avoiding the strong and striking at the weak, and using spies for every kind of business. Principles of strategy, tactics, maneuvering, and communications, the treatment of soldiers, the importance of strong troops and well-trained officers, and the administration of rewards and punishments all have a modern ring to them.
