Compare books from PENGUIN GROUP (USA) Inc.

Here are three different covers for the books, published by Penguin Group, in the period of 12 years.

First two have some message to say, but the last one " MASTERY" I would rather call "MYSTERY" because it is just poor publisher's work.

On the contrary, the citations are very interesting...

“Stupid White Men” by Michael Moore:

As bad as the future looks for us, there is some hope that we, as men, can delay our demise – if we learn to adopt some very important new behaviors. There are many things we can learn from women and how they function sanely.

“Battle Ready” by Tom Clancy with general Tony Zinni (Ret.) and Tony Koltz:

I have to ask: “ What is our legacy?” My son is now a Marine captain.

What have we left for him to look forward to?We all know that burgeoning technology will widen his horizons beyond anything we can imagine. It will also present new questions of ethics and morality that we have barely begun to fathom.

Yet he must also live with the organization I have had to live for forty years. Napoleon could reappear today and recognize the Central Command staff organization: J-1, administration stovepipe; J-2 intelligence stovepipe – you get the idea.

This antiquated organization is oblivious to what everyone else in the world is doing: flattening organization structure, with decentralized operations and more direct communications.

This must be fixed.”

“Mastery” by Robert Greene:

It is a great folly to hope that other men will harmonize with us; I have never hoped this.

I have always regarded each man as an independent individual, whom

I endeavored to understand with all his peculiarities, but from whom

I desired no further sympathy.

In this way have I been enabled to converse with every man, and thus alone is produced the knowledge of various characters and the dexterity necessary for the conduct of life.

- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
