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.

    The 20th century was one of voracity, the 21st century will be one of hunger. Elsewhere, of course, in Africa, but also in the West, right here.
Depletion of fossil fuels and minerals, climate change, loss of arable land, soil degradation, freshwater scarcity, ocean depletion, overpopulation, agricultural crisis: all these factors contribute to hunger and its dramatic consequences.
Decades of casual expansion now leave us only a tiny strait to cross to avoid collapse and allow us to emerge from the fossil era without irreparable damage. Hugues Stoeckel convinces us, without complacency and with many examples, of the reality of the danger, to better show us the glimmer of hope.

    From bestselling and award-winning author and professor Elizabeth McCracken comes an irresistible look at the art of writing. 
Writing can feel like an endless series of decisions. How does one face the blank page? Move a character around a room? Deal with time? Undertake revision? The good and bad news is that in fiction writing, there are no definitive answers to such questions: writers must come up with their own. Elizabeth McCracken, author of bestselling novels, National Book Award long-listed story collections, and a highly praised memoir, has been teaching for more than thirty-five years, guiding her many students through their own answers. 
In A Long Game, she shares insights gleaned along the way, offering practical tips and incisive thoughts about her own work as an artist. The book covers: 
Understanding and developing charactersPlot, and what to do if it eludes youHer thoughts on common writing “rules”And of course, the Butter Cow Lady of the Iowa State Fair and her work as it relates to revision 
Writing “is a long game,” she notes. “What matters is that you learn to get work done in the way that is possible for you, through consistency or panic. Through self-recrimination or self-delusion or self-forgiveness: every life needs all three.” 
As much a book about the life of a working artist as it is a guide to thinking about fiction, A Long Game is a revelatory and indispensable resource for any writer.

    We broke our new series on learning Romanian down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Romanian.  
In Unit 1 you will hear Romanian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Romanian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Romanian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Romanian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Romanian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with. 
Topics covered in this book: 
1. Asking about family 
2. Asking about relationship status 
3. Expressing frequency 
4. Talking about spare time activities and hobbies 
5. Using quantifiers/determiners
