  The Shortest History of Japan -...

  Zen, haiku, martial arts, sushi, anime, manga, film, video games . . . Japanese culture has long enriched our Western way of life. Yet from a Western perspective, Japan remains a remote island country that has long had a complicated relationship with the outside world. 
   
   
   
  Even at the nearest point, Japan—an archipelago strung like a necklace around the Asian mainland—is considerably farther from Asia than Britain is from Europe. The sea provides an effective barrier against invasion and has enabled the culture to develop in unique and distinctive ways. During the Edo period, the Tokugawa shoguns successfully closed the country to the West. After Japan opened, it swung in the opposite direction, adopting Western culture wholesale. Both these strategies enabled it to avoid colonization, one of the very few non-Western countries to do so, and to retain its traditions and way of life. 
   
   
   
  This history will be of interest to people who know nothing about Japan, but also full of insights for those who do. Lesley Downer takes the listener through the great sweep of Japanese history, focusing on the dramatic stories of larger-than-life individuals—from emperors descended from the Sun Goddess to warlords, samurai, merchants, court ladies, women warriors, geisha, and businessmen who shaped this extraordinary modern society.

  While many falconry books briefly touch on the ethics of the sport, “The Philosophy & Ethics of Falconry” is entirely dedicated to addressing the chief ethical and philosophical questions at the heart of falconry. Readers, whether they are aspiring, new, or experienced falconers (or simply someone intrigued by this unique method of hunting) will be introduced to several philosophical traditions and what wisdom they have to offer for falconry. This book also responds to critics of falconry and offers a robust ethical defense of the sport from an internationally recognized teacher of philosophy and debate. Regardless of the reader’s experience with falconry or style of hawking, everyone will walk away from this book with a richer understanding of what makes the sport worth pursuing and how it fits into an examined, ethical, and worthwhile life.
