Basics and Principles of Self-Defense

Bernd Irmscher

Sinossi

However, when the topic of »self-defense« comes up, many people often ask themselves questions such as:
- How would I behave myself in such a situation?
- What can or may I do; what is allowed or forbidden?
- (How) can I prepare for such a situation?

This book is aimed at interested readers of all ages and is intended to help to find answers to these questions. Furthermore, it should give the reader a good first overview of the broad topic of »self-defense«.

In this book principles and techniques for typical self-defense situations are described that can still work under stress. The techniques presented here are intended only be understood as a recommendation from a number of different possibilities and not at all as »the best« solution in a certain self-defense situation. Also it is not about to emphasize one particular of the many different fighting styles, but rather to create an understanding that in a self-defense situation neither one nor the other fighting style is the »better« one.
The only thing that counts in the end is: Any solution that works in an emergency is a good solution.

Writing Landscape

Linda Cracknell

Inhabiting a landscape, walking a landscape, writing a place and time. 
Linda Cracknell is a writer of place and nature who believes in being alert, observing, and writing from the particulars of each experience. Engaging bodily with her writing, she is someone for whom getting mud on her boots, sleeping high up in the hills, or being slapped by salt water can all be part of her process. She follows Susan Sontag's advice to “Love words, agonize over sentences and pay attention to the world.”  
In this varied collection of essays, Linda backpacks on a small island that is connected to the mainland at low tide, musing on the nineteenth-century Scottish writer whose character was shipwrecked there. She hikes the wooded mountain trail close to her home in winter snow—a place she is intimately familiar with in all weathers and seasons—and she retraces the steps of a multiday hike made almost seven decades after her parents trod the route together. She explores her inspirations, in nature and from other artists and their work.  
Reading this collection will open your eyes to the world around you and how you can observe, take note, and later commit those notes and memories to written pieces that will evoke the place and time.
