Often translated as 'the art of remaining unseen', Ninjutsu has a long history, and is probably the most renowned and misunderstood of all martial arts. Ninjutsu continues to thrive as an active school of martial art, and the Ninja as black-clad 'super spy', combat master, and secrecy expert continues to hold power over the imagination. However, the history of Ninjutsu is often murky, its origins surrounded by mystery and legend. Here, for the first time, is an in-depth, factual look at the entire art of Ninjutsu, including the emergence of the Ninja warriors and philosophy in feudal Japan; detailed historical events; its context in the development of other schools of martial arts; and, the philosophies and exercises of the school today. Based on more than 10 years of study and translation of authentic Japanese texts, including many that have never before been translated, this is the most comprehensive and accurate study of the art of Ninjitsu ever written outside of Japan. It dispels the falsehoods, details what information can and cannot be proven historically, and reveals new information, much of which contradicts commonly accepted knowledge. For those who train in Ninjutsu, for other martial arts practitioners, for historians, and for anyone with an interest in Japanese feudal interest, "Ninja" shines a light on this enigmatic subject.
Equipped with his cheerful optimism and a pith helmet, this Odysseus in a dinghy takes you with him from the borders of north Wales to the Black Sea - 4,900 kilometers over salt and fresh water, under sail, at oars, or at the end of a tow rope - through twelve countries, 282 locks, and numerous trials and adventures, including an encounter with Balkan pirates. Curly tails, snouts, Ninja: Ancient Shadow Warriors of Japan download ebook trotters, 'oinks', mud and unpleasant smells - these are the cliches of the pig. With their varied roles as sources of food, as pets and in medical testing, pigs have been materially and culturally associated with humans for thousands of years. Today there are more than one billion pigs on the planet, and there are countless representations of pigs and 'piggishness' circulating through the cultures of the world. Pig provides a richly illustrated, compelling look at the long, complicated relationship between humans and these highly intelligent, sociable animals. In his insightful book, Brett Mizelle traces the natural and cultural history of the pig, focusing on the contradictions between our imaginative representation of pigs and the ways in which pigs are actually used as meat, experimental material and the source of hundreds of consumer products. Pig begins with the evolution of the suidae, animals that were domesticated in many regions 9,000 years ago, and points toward a future where pigs and humans are even more closely intertwined thanks to breakthroughs in biomedical research.
