Ninja Techniques

Summary

Ninja Techniques explores the true history of the ninja in feudal Japan, moving beyond popular myths to uncover their real skills and societal role. It examines their expertise in espionage, sabotage, and assassination, revealing how these skills were crucial for survival and influence in a turbulent political landscape. The book highlights that ninjas often operated outside the strict samurai hierarchy, serving various lords and influencing key historical events through unconventional warfare.

 
The book's unique value lies in its commitment to separating fact from fiction. By drawing upon translated ninja manuals, historical chronicles, and archaeological evidence, it presents a balanced and evidence-based account. For example, ninja training involved not only combat but also disguise and infiltration techniques, reflecting their need for stealth and adaptability. This approach allows readers to understand the ninja's complex position within Japanese history and culture.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical context of feudal Japan. It then analyzes ninja training and techniques, explores their social and political roles, and finally examines their transformation into cultural icons. Ninja Techniques ultimately provides a deeper understanding of the ninja's lasting impact and global influence.

If You Were My Daughter - A...

Marianne Richmond

At nine years old, Marianne Richmond's life is upended when she collapses with full-body convulsions. "Pinched nerve," says the ER doctor. But when one episode becomes many, it's clear something is wrong. Afraid to be at school, in her body, and in her life, Marianne desperately hopes for help and healing. But her emotionally unavailable mother refuses medication on Marianne's behalf, preferring prayer and homeopathy. 
 
 
 
At age 18, a full-body seizure in Marianne’s dorm room leads her to a diagnosis, medication, and neurological intervention. Physically, Marianne feels "fixed," but emotional healing proves more elusive. In the years to come, Marianne becomes a parent and writes a new story for her life. She authors children's books that touch millions of lives, each of them celebrating a mother's unconditional love. When her mother becomes ill, Marianne has a choice to make: will she be present for the mother who rarely felt present to her? 
 
 
 
If You Were My Daughter is a story of learning to hear your own voice, of one daughter's return to wholeness, and a story of accepting that a mother's best can still fall far too short. Richmond illuminates how the stories we're born into shape the ones we tell about ourselves—and reminds us that we have the powerful permission to develop a new relationship with what is difficult in our lives.

DESCRIPTION:
My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.
