History's Great Speeches: The Definitive Collection: 161 speeches from Athens 431BCE to Beijing, 192

"Embark on a journey through 2,400 years of history with this definitive collection of 161 of the world’s greatest speeches. Presented chronologically, this master volume spans from the golden age of Athens in 431BCE to the dawn of a new China in 1926, now complete with seminal speeches from India’s Mohandas Gandhi and China’s Mao Tse-Tung. The collection begins with Demosthenes, whose rhetorical mastery forms the DNA of modern expression. Witness the high point of the Athenian empire with Pericles’ funeral oration and hear the only known speech of Julius Caesar before the Roman senate. Delve into the Roman Civil War, dominated by the rivalry between the revolutionary Cataline and the great statesman Cicero, and feel the power of Mark Antony’s oration over Caesar’s body. After a millennium where rhetoric waned, the art is reborn with Mirandola’s 'Oration on the Dignity of Man,' firing the starting pistol for the Renaissance. The Reformation erupts with Martin Luther’s barnstorming 95 Theses, while the Enlightenment gives way to political upheaval. Hear Maximillien Robespierre’s chilling justifications for terror, Patrick Henry’s cry for liberty, and Napoleon Bonaparte’s revolutionary addresses. Explore the great debates of the 19th century: the struggle against slavery, the rise of anarchism with Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Otto von Bismarck’s “Blood and Iron” forging a new nation, and Abraham Lincoln’s immortal words. Witness the birth of socialism, the powerful anti-war arguments of Eugene Debs, and Swami Vivekananda’s address bridging East and West. This complete volume concludes with visionary speakers from Mexico, the Philippines, India, and China, whose words shaped the modern world and continue to resonate into the twenty-first century."

Street Smarts: Adventures on the Road and in the Markets

"Wall Street legend and bestselling author Jim Rogers offers investing insights and economic, political, and social analysis, drawing on lessons and observations from his lifetime in the markets. Jim Rogers, whose entertaining accounts of his travels around the world--studying the markets from Russia to Singapore from the ground up--has enthralled readers, investors and Wall Street aficionados for decades. In his engaging memoir Street Smarts, Rogers offers pithy commentary from a lifetime of adventure, from his early years growing up a naïve kid in Demopolis, Alabama, to his fledgling career on Wall Street, to his cofounding of the wildly successful Quantum Fund. In Street Smarts, Rogers takes us through the highlights of his life in the financial markets, from his school days at Yale and Oxford--where despite the fact that he didn't have enough money to afford the appropriate pair of shoes, he coxed the crew and helped to win the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race as well as the Thames Cup, the first of his three Guiness World Records--to his first heady taste of Wall Street in the mid-1960s, and his years helping to run the most successful hedge fund on Wall Street. In the course of his new book, Rogers offers often surprising observations on how the world works--and what trends he sees in the future. The age of Wall Street, Rogers claims, when the finance industry drove 25% of America's growth, is over. Tomorrow's economy will be driven by those who make things--food, energy, goods and consumables. He explains why Asia will be the dominant economic force in the twenty-first century, and discusses why America and the European Union are in decline, and what we need to do to right our economy and society."
