Book excerpt: Ethical Probe on Mixed Martial Arts Enthusiasts in the USA is an ethicist’s account of the development of mixed martial arts (MMA) as it relates to its prophets and proselytizers, i.e., enthusiasts, who serve as testament to the sport’s corrupt disposition. Profiles on six enthusiasts reveal bizarre—and in some cases nefarious—activities that extend from proto-MMA fads such as the ninja craze of the 1980s.

Book excerpt: agri-tech R&D heroics is a small collection of 23 heroic ecopoems that surface as the result of certain esoteric record-keeping practices. It was initially the second part in a palimpsestic re-telling of the Parzival romance, which no longer exists. Each poem offers a unique, albeit symbiotic, expression of patented eternal wounds that can only be healed by the weapon that caused them (as per Grail mythology). In this case, the "weapon" is generalized as the power gained via the dynamic use of the logos in metadata description and inventory management wielded by multinational corporations (e.g., Monsanto and Bayer). It folds out into a print by Aaron Gemmill and is designed by Jonathan Gorman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Paul Lederach's work in the field of conciliation and mediation is internationally recognized. He has provided consultation, training and direct mediation in a range of situations from the Miskito/Sandinista conflict in Nicaragua to Somalia, Northern Ireland, Tajikistan, and the Philippines. His influential 1997 book Building Peace has become a classic in the discipline. In this book, Lederach poses the question, "How do we transcend the cycles of violence that bewitch our human community while still living in them?" Peacebuilding, in his view, is both a learned skill and an art. Finding this art, he says, requires a worldview shift. Conflict professionals must envision their work as a creative act-an exercise of what Lederach terms the "moral imagination." This imagination must, however, emerge from and speak to the hard realities of human affairs. The peacebuilder must have one foot in what is and one foot beyond what exists. The book is organized around four guiding stories that point to the moral imagination but are incomplete. Lederach seeks to understand what happened in these individual cases and how they are relevant to large-scale change. His purpose is not to propose a grand new theory. Instead he wishes to stay close to the "messiness" of real processes and change, and to recognize the serendipitous nature of the discoveries and insights that emerge along the way. overwhelmed the equally important creative process. Like most professional peacemakers, Lederach sees his work as a religious vocation. Lederach meditates on his own calling and on the spirituality that moves ordinary people to reject violence and seek reconciliation. Drawing on his twenty-five years of experience in the field he explores the evolution of his understanding of peacebuilding and points the way toward the future of the art." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2004011794-d.html.

Book excerpt: ie meisten Menschen kennen Bruce Lee nur von seinen Filmen und sehen ihn nur als Schauspieler, aber er war auch ein Kampfkunstler, Autor und Philosoph. Er begann sein Kampfkunsttraining in Hong Kong, als er 13 Jahre alt war. Ein Freund stellte ihn Yip Man vor, Grossmeister im Wing Chun Kung Fu. Funf Jahre trainierte Bruce sehr hart, meistens vier bis sechs Stunden pro Tag. Was er lernte, probierte er auf der Strasse aus, und dadurch bekam er immer wieder Probleme. Seine Eltern beschlossen daher, ihn 1959 nach Amerika zu schicken. Dort machte er den High School Abschluss und studierte an der Washington University in Seattle, WA, Philosophie. In seiner freien Zeit gab er einer kleinen Gruppe Studenten Kung Fu Unterricht. Einer dieser Studenten war Linda Emery, die er 1964 heiratete. Bruce eroffnete drei Kung Fu Schulen: in Oakland, Seattle und Los Angeles. Er war sehr fasziniert von Kampfkunst und allem, was damit zusammenhing und sammelte mehr als 2000 Bucher. 1973 starb Bruce Lee mit 32 Jahren, auf dem Hohepunkt seiner Karriere. Er hinterliess der Welt vier Filme (plus 20 Minuten von einem noch zu produzierenden funften Film) und die von ihm entwickelte Kampfkunst Jeet Kune Do. 1975, zwei Jahre nach dem Tod von Bruce, wurde die erste Ausgabe des Tao des Jeet Kune Do herausgegeben. Bruce hat an einem Buch gearbeitet, in dem er seine Ideen uber Kampfkunst veroffentlichen wollte. Es sollte eine siebenteilige Enzyklopadie werden, wofur er sich schon einen Titel ausgedacht hatte, The Tao of Jeet Kune Do. Seine enorme Anzahl von Aufzeichnungen und Notizen, zusammen mehr als 6000 Seiten, bildeten die Basis fur das Buch. Als seine Frau Linda nach seinem Tod beschloss, das Buch doch noch herauszugeben, stand sie vor der beinah unmoglichen Aufgabe, alles geschriebene Material zu ordnen. Mit der Hilfe von Gilbert Johnson, der die Redaktion des Buches ubernommen hatte, und den Schulern von Bruce, ist schliesslich The Tao of Jeet Kune Do entstanden. Das Buch wurde inzwischen in 11 Sprachen ubersetzt und weltweit wurden mehr als 1 Million Exemplare verkauft! Diese deutsche Ausgabe wurde besorgt von James ter Beek, der selbst Unterricht von Ted Wong hatte - Topschuler von Bruce Lee - und der zertifizierter Jeet Kune Do Lehrer
