内容摘要 几个圆形、箭头与线条,就能图解中国2500年前的孙子兵法? 战争,不外乎是了解自己与敌人的优胜劣败,知己知彼,战无不克──这是孙子兵法的中心思想,如何将这本充满太极思想的战略标准译成英文,还要让现代读者能够了解,巧妙灵活运用在现实生活中,作者刷新了这本古书的概念,将孙子兵法原本的13章:<始计>、<作战>、<谋攻>到<用间>,转化为<策略>、<方法>、<角度>到<事实>,运用看似简单甚至令人发笑的图表,创新以视觉化的图表方式,用圆形、箭头、线条等简单的图像,翻新孙子兵法的真意,简化问题的复杂性,读者从自己生活、事业、婚姻的难题,轻易在本书中找到指导。 It’s the perfect meeting of minds. One, a general whose epigrammatic lessons on strategy offer timeless insight and wisdom. And the other, a visual thinker whose succinct diagrams and charts give readers a fresh way of looking at life’s challenges and opportunities. A Bronze Age/Information Age marriage of Sun Tzu and Jessica Hagy, The Art of War Visualized is an inspired mash-up, a work that completely reenergizes the perennial bestseller and makes it accessible to a new generation of students, entrepreneurs, business leaders, artists, seekers, lovers of games and game theory, and anyone else who knows the value of seeking guidance for the future in the teachings of the past. It’s as if Sun Tzu got a 21st-century do-over. Author and illustrator of How to Be Interesting, Jessica Hagy is a cutting-edge thinker whose language—comprising circles, arrows, and lines and the well-chosen word or two—makes her an ideal philosopher for our ever-more-visual culture. Her charts and diagrams are deceptively simple, often funny, and always thought-provoking. She knows how to communicate not only ideas but the complex process of thinking itself, complete with its twists and surprises. For The Art of War Visualized, she presents her vision in evocative ink-brush art and bold typography. The result is page after page in which each passage of the complete canonical text (in its best-known Lionel Giles translation) is visually interpreted in a singular diagram, chart, or other illustration—transforming, reenergizing, and making the classic dazzlingly accessible for a new generation of readers.
