Sinossi

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.

    Aliens have been around since the dawn of time. Mankind has given them many names. Angels, ghosts, demons and more. We look to the skies and wonder, but the truth about aliens visiting planet earth is much more profound. It is so startling and so strange that nobody has thought to look in that particular direction. 
     
    Our ancestors developed ways of contacting these aliens and they called them gods. They were beings of light, shining ones, watchers. They were both good and bad, mirroring humanity. They gave great knowledge and after tens of thousands of years mankind suddenly had the ability to create civilization. We built huge monuments in their name and we recorded our contact with them in fables, myths, legends, folklore and religion. We even created grand myths, such as Atlantis, to explain it. 
     
    They were our gods and we worshipped them and recorded their powers, deeds and lives. These gods of the world were in fact not real gods, whatever that means. They were in fact alien invaders and we were the subjects of their rule. 
     
    This is the true story of the aliens in the ancient world.

    The Philosophers and the Mere -...

    The inner circle of the philosophers of Pavi Bujdam are a close group of friends who include a renowned artist, a mathematician, musicians, dancers, theologians and an astrologer, who all live with the great philosophical question of what lies beyond the mere surrounding their almost trouble-free land. In their meetings together they are always exploring their philosophies, an exploration in which the reader is invited to share in the form of the entertainment of the story. 
    In a setting of symbolism and literary device, through the storytelling in The Philosophers and the Mere we tacitly meet Buddhism, ancient Greek philosophy, the Hindu Puranas, Renaissance Neoplatonism, Christianity, the subject matter of great paintings by Poussin and Botticelli, and even the deep philosophical questions of modern physics, all in an original, progressively poetical setting. 
    The tenor of The Philosophers and the Mere is outside the mould of ordinary stories of troubles and strife in personal affairs of human love and relationships. In The Philosophers and the Mere such trouble regularly appears only in the annual masquerade which takes place at the Mereage, the most beautiful part of Pavi Bujdam in which all the friends live. 
    As the story progresses, the philosophy of the friends begins to come to life. In the language of Mythic Symbolism the very landscape of the tale itself undergoes its own metamorphosis. Its final unfolding reveals a post-contemporary myth within whose fabric is woven a message about love and human existence.

    I asked my Year 1 class, ‘What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you?’ 
    George Pointon asks his class a lot of questions. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you reckon your parents do while you’re at school? Can you put that down, please? JJ, the stapler – can you put it down? 
    He’s also got a few for himself: what is he doing here? Who was he kidding, thinking he could teach? 
    But the course of true professional fulfilment never did run smooth, and there’s no backing out now. 
    In this book, George takes us along on his first year inside the messy, magical world of primary school teaching. In the company of five-year-olds – who are somehow wisdom, innocence and chaos incarnate – there is always lots to be learned. 
    In Teacher Man, George Pointon masterfully combines elements of autobiography and non-fiction to provide a candid look at education and parenting. His essays delve into the complexities of behavioural management and relationships within the school environment, offering a unique perspective on the role of educators. 
    For fans of Lucy Mangan (Bookworm), Sam Leith (The Haunted Wood), and Annie Ernaux (A Woman's Story – WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE).
