Summary

"Seascape Stories" explores humanity's long-standing fascination with the ocean, examining its pervasive role in mythology, literature, and art. By delving into the cultural history of seascapes, the book reveals how the sea has served as both a source of creation and a force of destruction, shaping narratives from ancient times to the present day. For instance, maritime literature often reflects a nation's identity and colonial ambitions, while environmental awareness has led to evolving depictions of the ocean in contemporary works.

 
The book progresses by first examining founding myths and creation narratives, then analyzing maritime literature from the age of exploration, and finally investigating portrayals of seascapes in response to growing environmental concerns. This approach offers a critical lens for understanding shifting cultural values and anxieties.

 
Through an interdisciplinary approach, "Seascape Stories" synthesizes literary criticism, historical analysis, and environmental perspectives to offer a multifaceted understanding of the sea's enduring influence, particularly within the Western literary tradition.

    In the spring of 1959, eighteen-year-old Bruce Lee returned to San Francisco, the city of his birth, and quickly inserted himself into the West Coast’s fledgling martial arts culture. Even though Asian fighting styles were widely unknown to mainstream America, Bruce encountered a robust fight culture in a San Francisco Bay area that was populated with talented and trailblazing practitioners such as Lau Bun, Chinatown’s aging kung fu patriarch; Wally Jay, the innovative Hawaiian jujitsu master; and James Lee, the no-nonsense Oakland street fighter. Regarded by some as a brash loudmouth and by others as a dynamic visionary, Bruce spent his first few years back in America advocating a more modern approach to the martial arts and showing little regard for the damaged egos left in his wake. 
    In the Chinese calendar, 1964 was the Year of the Green Dragon. It would be a challenging and eventful year for Bruce. He would broadcast his dissenting view before the first great international martial arts gathering and then defend it by facing down Chinatown’s young ace kung fu practitioner in a legendary behind-closed-doors, high-noon-style showdown. The Year of the Green Dragon saw the dawn of martial arts in America and the rise of an icon. 
    Drawing on more than one hundred original interviews and an eclectic array of sources, Striking Distance is an engrossing narrative chronicling San Francisco Bay’s pioneering martial arts scene as it thrived in the early 1960s and offers an in-depth look at a widely unknown chapter of Bruce Lee’s iconic life.

    THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
    ‘Hilarious, and straight talking but also articulate and insightful – I am just hugely fond of this guy’  
    –Eddie Jones 
    ‘James Haskell: what a flanker, what a book’ 
    –Rugby World 
    ‘I’d like to be remembered as a player who showed that you can be incredibly professional but also a lot of fun – a bit of a joker in the changing room, but the ultimate competitor on the pitch. That should have been the subtitle of this book, really…’ 
    One of rugby’s most ferocious flankers and biggest characters, James Haskell has had an extraordinary, global experience of the game, having played for the Wasps, Northampton and England, and in New Zealand, France and Japan. After seventeen years and with 77 international caps under his sizeable belt, he has a shitload to say about rugby life – from pitch to pub and everywhere in between. 
      
    In What A Flanker, Haskell sheds fresh light on the dynamics and the day-to-day of the game. Whether he’s recalling the most brutal team socials; dispelling the myths surrounding New Zealand’s dominance; introducing his Japanese teammates to manscaping or calling out play-acting in the modern game, no subject is off limits. 
      
    Side-splittingly funny and ruthlessly honest, What A Flanker delves into the touring, drinking, training, eating and sometimes unconscionable antics of the professional rugby player. It’s an unforgettable read, even if there are some stories you’d rather forget… 
    [Correction: in the author biography and on p.22 of this book, it is stated in error that the House of Rugby podcast is now known as The Good, The Bad and The Rugby. The House of Rugby podcast continues and The Good, The Bad and The Rugby is a separate podcast.] 
    Haskell's autobiography, What A Flanker, is a humorous and insightful look into the world of professional rugby. His personal growth, dedication to fitness, and success as a Sunday Times bestselling author make this a compelling read for sports enthusiasts and fans of autobiographies alike. 
    For fans of Rachel Murphy (Loose Head), Robert Jobson (Guarding Diana), Luke Upton (Hard Men of Rugby), Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer), and Jonny Wilkinson (Jonny).
