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.

    On Nothing & Kindred Subjects

    In On Nothing & Kindred Subjects, Hilaire Belloc masterfully blends humor, philosophy, and social commentary in a series of essays that explore seemingly trivial or abstract topics—what he playfully calls "Nothing." With wit and wisdom, Belloc delves into themes like idleness, the absurdities of conversation, and the fleeting nature of modern trends, all while revealing deeper truths about human nature and society. Though lighthearted in title and tone, the book offers sharp critiques of contemporary culture and the loss of enduring values. Rooted in Belloc’s Catholic worldview and love for reason, these reflections encourage readers to see significance in the mundane and to question the emptiness of superficial pursuits. A delightful and thought-provoking read.

  • The Carousel of Indignation and Outrage - Understanding the Nature of Conflict Escalation and how to Limit it - cover

    The Carousel of Indignation and...

    Conflicts have accompanied mankind since time immemorial, and for almost as long people have been trying to limit and deal with them – whether as those affected by them or as professionals with more or less success. For once a system of conflict has developed, once negative expectation structures and with them negative self-evident truths and inherent laws have developed, it becomes increasingly difficult for those involved to escape them: The complexity of our social world, in which it is not easy for communication to find its way, remains unseen. A violated sense of justice, misunderstandings and unfortunate attempts to correct them alternate. One begins to attribute the causes of the conflict to the "person" ("It's you! It's your fault!") and to attribute negative motives to the conflict partner ("You're only doing this because ...!"), who in turn does the same – just like a carousel that slowly gets going. A number of well-studied but little-known psychological processes occur within us when we are in conflict. Outrage at the other person grows, usually unfortunately on both sides. Slowly, the "carousel of outrage and indignation" begins to spin - faster and faster, until...
    The book places the various psychological mechanisms in the context of a systemic understanding of conflict and explains ways to slow down the carousel.

    Are you struggling with your child's ADHD? Are you worried that they will be marginalised or laughed at, at school or with friends, because of their special needs? Do you feel lost when it comes to your child’s ADHD and its related issues and concerns? 
      
      
    Yes, it’s true; all children lose focus and can be hyperactive, especially when they are anxious or excited. 
      
    But when a child is constantly overwhelmed by emotions, memory lapses and inattention in differing contexts, this can undermine both self-esteem and social life. 
     Parents have to do something. 
      
    For parents, it is difficult to accept that their child has been diagnosed with ADHD. They see their child as naturally curious, full of life and intelligent. 
      
    Parenting a child with ADHD brings both joys and challenges. I recommend that you read this book if you recognise these behaviours in your child. 
      
    But let me tell you this: 
    Being an unprepared parent will only make the situation worse. Unnecessary guilt, inevitable frustration and misunderstanding will only make your child feel stupid and a failure. 
    This is absolutely NOT TRUE, and it doesn't have to be this way. 
      
    But do not worry! 
    Children with ADHD can lead perfectly normal lives as long as their parents know how to address their needs early and can thrive with them. 
     Listen to this audiobook now will help you to understand how your baby's brain works. It will be greatly rewarding to see your child improve with friends, at home, at school and in every area of life.The best gift you can give him to guarantee him a prosperous and peaceful life!

    On 10 June 1980, during the Border War, the SADF's 61 Mechanised Battalion Group attacked a complex of Swapo military bases in southern Angola. A long day of bloody fighting ensued.
    Second Lieutenant Paul Louw led Platoon 1, in four Ratel infantry fighting vehicles, to an objective called Smokeshell. After emerging from a dry riverbed, the young national servicemen suddenly found themselves facing a heavily defended enemy position and under deadly fire.
    In the ensuing chaos of that day, 12 troopies of Louw's platoon of 44 were killed and he himself was wounded. The 18-year-old HP Ferreira was shot through the pelvis by a 14,5 mm anti-aircraft round and also hit by AK-47 bullets. He miraculously survived.
    Blood Brothers records the dramatic events of that horrific day, in the words of the survivors of the battle, and follows members of Louw's platoon on their long journey of healing and recovery. It investigates the human cost of war after the last shots have been fired and follows the veterans as they return to the battleground four decades later in search of peace.
