Sinopsis

Japanese Castles explores the evolution and significance of Japan's feudal fortifications, revealing their pivotal role in military strategy and societal structure. These imposing structures, far from being mere defensive strongholds, mirrored Japan's complex social hierarchy and technological advancements. For example, castle design evolved from simple earthenworks to elaborate, multi-tiered keeps, reflecting the changing dynamics of warfare and political power during the Warring States period and under the Tokugawa shogunate.

 
The book examines the architectural and strategic significance of Japanese castles, highlighting key elements like moats, baileys, keeps, and gatehouses. It traces their development through different eras, demonstrating how castles transformed from symbols of regional power to emblems of centralized authority. Each chapter builds upon the last, providing a comprehensive understanding of Japanese castles within their historical context, supported by illustrations, photographs, and maps.

 
Japanese Castles adopts a fact-based historical approach, making it accessible to a broad audience interested in military history, Japanese history, and architectural history. It emphasizes the enduring legacy of these structures, exploring their preservation, cultural significance, and continued relevance in modern Japan. This exploration offers a unique lens through which to understand Japanese history, moving beyond traditional narratives to reveal deeper insights into the nation's past.

    Confronting taboos and misunderstandings about sexuality and aging, Couple Sexuality After 60: Intimate, Pleasurable, and Satisfying motivates couples to embrace sex and sexuality in their sixties, seventies, and eighties. The book busts two extreme myths—that people over sixty cannot and should not be sexual, and that the best way to be sexual is to emphasize eroticism, using sex toys, and "kinky sex." 
     
     
     
    Using a variable, flexible approach to couple sexuality based on the Good Enough Sex (GES) model, this book places the essence of sexuality in pleasure-oriented touching, not individual sex performance. Barry and Emily McCarthy introduce a new sexual mantra of "desire/pleasure/eroticism/satisfaction" with the goal of presenting a healthy model of sexuality to replace the traditional double standard that couples learn in young adulthood. Specific chapters focus on important areas like coming to terms with the new normal, female–male sexual equity, satisfaction being about more than intercourse and orgasm, valuing synchronous and asynchronous sexuality, psychobiosocial approaches to sexuality, and more. 
     
     
     
    In addition to aging heterosexual couples, single individuals and queer couples will find this book interesting. Additionally, this is a must-listen for sexual health clinicians and sex therapists with clients over the age of sixty.

    What’s the secret to becoming a successful, inspiring school leader? Learning how to unlock and support greatness…in OTHERS. 
     With apologies to the Navy Seals, professional sports coaches, and Fortune 500 CEOs: 
    Your leadership advice doesn’t always apply to what's going on in education. 
    Leading at school isn't like leading anywhere else. We should probably stop pretending that it is. 
    At school, we must serve any and all clients (whether they pay or not), it's nearly impossible to fire our people (we love tenure but there are downsides to everything), and we are often supervised by elected officials (many of whom have never worked a day in our profession). 
    From an extraordinary partnership between a teacher and an administrator, best-selling Otherful is the easy-to-read (and laugh-out-loud) book for those who’ve discovered that influence is mightier than control. Research-backed and practitioner-tested, it’s a brilliant resource for in-school PD, administrator leadership classes, and faculty retreats. Otherful reveals an ancient truth of leadership: the most formidable power isn’t force; it’s relationship building. 
     Otherful will give you the tools to: 
    ● Replace faculty complaining with proactive problem-solving 
    ● Undercut conflict through active listening and tactical reframing 
    ● Do less work, get better results, and be respected more 
     "DESPERATELY NEEDED IN EDUCATION... Otherful is NONSTOP TAKEAWAYS, ACTION PLANS, AND FUN with insights that defy the confines of school and will impact your work in any organization." -Greg Rosenbaum, Senior Director of SXSWEDU 
    "...AN EXCEPTIONAL BOOK...Kleba & O'Hara's book could sit comfortably in a business bookcase under leadership development." -Getting Smart 
    Don’t be selfless or selfish; be otherful

    It’s time we start looking at career success differently. 
    Perhaps you have heard the expression, “I’m at the bottom of the food chain.” This phrase is often used as reference to a person’s lack of power in the workplace or social group. And if you look at power and success in careers, the goal is typically to climb to the top and become a titan of the industry. 
    But does the top of the food chain hold all the power? Success? What if I told you that some of the most powerful people, right now, are at the bottom?  
    With a nature-based lens focused on careers, this book explores the power of lower-level positions in the workplace. For so long we’ve missed it.  
    You may not have “big wins” and all your career aspirations may not become your reality, but that doesn’t mean you are inadequate or that your value is reduced. Even the most seemingly minor actions, can contribute to something greater. 
    If you are exhausted from the efforts of trying to reach the top and feel like you failed because others around you have succeed in their careers in ways that you only dream of, take a break, and read this book. I’m not saying it's time to give up on your dreams, but it is time to see yourself for power that you have!
