    About this ebook

    Get inside the mind of Nelson Mandela—one of the 20th century's great revolutionaries and the most inspiring statesman of our timeNelson Mandela was one of the few men in recent history who genuinely changed the world—how we think about our place in society among other ethnic, political, and religious groups and how perseverance, moral conscience, and honest dialogue can help us achieve anything. Throughout his long life, he faced struggles against odds and opposition many of us can only begin to understand: he was imprisoned for decades for his beliefs yet ultimately stood by them and saw them vindicated by a nation. This book explores his many speeches; the forms of resistance—both peaceful and not—that he employed to reach his ends; and how he accomplished his achievements. Comprehensive and informative, this is the ideal book for admirers of this great man.

    • 3/5
      A neat little book on memory techniques and the best way to approach situations in a manner that is similar to Sherlock Holmes. It includes a number of puzzles for you to test your new skills on, some harder than others.
    • 2/5
      Quick, disappointing read. Gimmicky and worn logic puzzles (some requiring a decidedly British familiarity), a handful of Holmes quizzes and a few erroneous problems. For one, the answer implied information not given; for another the problem definition was wrong ("two words" to be found when the solution was two two-word answers)...so, bad editing or just bad writing?

      Not recommended
    • 2/5
      Not a lot of substance
