TRAINING THE SAMURAI MIND
Honour, fearlessness, calm, decisive action, strategic thinking and martial prowess have been the hallmarks of the Japanese samurai culture through the ages. Their ethos is known as bushido, or the way of the warrior knight. Here is an insider’s view of the samurai – their moral and psychological development, the ethical standards they strive to uphold, their training in both martial arts and strategy, and the enormous role that the traditions of Shintoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism had in influencing their ideals. It is a unique treasury of writings that span 400 years of wisdom and teachings from the premier contemporary translator and compiler of Asian texts. Training the Samurai Mind

THE EMOTIONAL LIVES OF ANIMALS
In this new paperback edition of a much-beloved title, Marc Bekoff includes, then moves beyond, the academic arguments to address what every animal lover and pet owner knows from everyday observation: that animals have rich emotional lives that not only can teach us about love, empathy and compassion but that require us to alter radically our current relationship of domination and abuse with them. He skilfully blends extraordinary stories and anecdotes of animal grief, joy, embarrassment, anger and love with the latest scientific research confirming emotions that simple, commonsense observation has long pointed to. "A glorious, moving, important book to enjoy and share" - Ingrid Newkirk, founder of PETA. The Emotional Lives of Animals
