Synopsis

Stealth Techniques explores the fascinating world of covert operations, examining both the real-world methodologies used by spies and military personnel throughout history and their captivating portrayal in Japanese manga. Delving into the evolution of camouflage, concealment, and infiltration, the book reveals how these tactics have been crucial in military history and espionage.

 
Interestingly, stealth techniques aren't just about physical concealment; they also involve manipulating perception and understanding the psychology of observation, skills vital in both warfare and espionage.

 
The book uniquely bridges the gap between factual military history and fictional storytelling, analyzing how manga artists utilize visual cues and narrative structures to depict stealth operations. It progresses from the fundamental concepts of stealth, drawn from historical military manuals and intelligence agency training programs, to the representation of these concepts in manga, and finally synthesizes these two perspectives to explore the cultural impact of stealth.

 
By examining specific manga titles and artistic techniques, Stealth Techniques demonstrates how visual storytelling amplifies the allure and mystique of espionage, deception, and covert action.

Sustainable Urban Infrastructure...

Lyric Vale

Sustainable urban infrastructure is an essential aspect of modern urban development, aimed at addressing the growing demands of urbanization while mitigating environmental impact and ensuring long-term social and economic prosperity. As the global population continues to shift toward urban areas, the challenges of managing and developing cities sustainably become increasingly complex. In this chapter, we explore the concept of sustainable urban infrastructure, its importance, and the challenges faced by planners and policymakers in creating systems that are both efficient and resilient.
Defining sustainable urban infrastructure involves understanding the integration of various urban systems in a way that promotes long-term environmental health, economic vitality, and social equity. This includes transportation systems that reduce emissions, energy-efficient buildings, and green spaces that enhance the quality of life. Sustainable infrastructure also emphasizes the responsible use of resources, such as water and energy, while minimizing waste and environmental degradation. It is not merely about constructing buildings and roads but about creating a holistic urban ecosystem that supports the needs of current and future generations.
The importance of sustainable development in urban infrastructure cannot be overstated. With the world’s urban population projected to reach 68% by 2050, cities will face immense pressure to provide housing, transport, and services while also minimizing their carbon footprint and adapting to climate change.

It challenges perceptions of race while creating a chilling, tense atmosphere.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“Daniel Kaluuya was cast as the lead after impressing Jordan Peele during his audition. Kaluuya performed five takes of a crucial scene where his character has to cry, and each time, a single tear fell at the same moment in each take.”
“Jordan Peele mentioned that the title of the film is a nod to what he often hears from black audiences when watching horror films: they shout ‘Get out!’ at the screen. In the movie, both Rod and Andre say it to Chris.”
“The success of Get Out made Jordan Peele the first African-American writer, producer, and director to earn more than $100 million with his debut film.”
“Chance the Rapper was so impressed by Get Out that he bought out movie tickets at select Chicago theaters so people could watch the film for free. He tweeted about it, saying, ‘Just pull up with an ID and enjoy the movie.’”

Monument Eternal

Alice Coltrane, Ashley Kahn

The long-awaited reissue of Alice Coltrane’s original spiritual teachings and reflections, which provide powerful insight into her transcendent music, cherished by millions across the globe.  
ALICE COLTRANE (1937–2007) was a composer, master of various musical instruments, improviser, spiritual leader, and wife of John Coltrane. Throughout her adult life, she worked within and combined a broad range of musical genres, including gospel, R&B, bebop, free jazz, Indian devotional song, and Western art music. She recorded more than twenty full-length albums for Impulse and Warner Bros. Her music speaks to her experiences as a child playing for church congregations in Detroit; the transcendent and mind-bending avant-garde improvisations she performed with her husband John Coltrane; and her religious pilgrimages to India.  
When Monument Eternal was originally published in 1977, Alice Coltrane was living in Southern California and had recently become a swami, building and nurturing an alternative spiritual community. In these pages, she says that the book is “based upon the soul’s realizations in Absolute Consciousness and its spiritual relationships with the Supreme One.” Monument Eternal offers deep insight into Coltrane’s tremendous musical output and shines a light on her transformation from Alice McLeod, Detroit church organist and bebopper, to sage thought leader Swami Turiyasangitananda. It also reflects the extraordinary fluidity of American religious customs in the mid- and late-twentieth century.  
Akashic’s long-awaited reissue of Monument Eternal includes a new foreword by Ashley Kahn.
