Rosa Campbell Praed (1851-1935), often credited as Mrs Campbell Praed (and also known as Rosa Caroline Praed), was an Australian novelist. Her large bibliography covered multiple genres, and books for children as well as adults. She has been described as the first Australian novelist to achieve a significant international reputation. Rosa had a passion for reading and writing from childhood. Many of her early experiences were used for the political and social life of her early books. In 1880 she published her first book, An Australian Heroine. This book was followed by Policy and Passion (1881), one of the best of her earlier books. A large proportion of her novels were based on her Australian experiences. Others dealt with the occult, with spiritualism, or with abnormal states of mind.

Henry Ernest Dudeney (10 April 1857 - 23 April 1930) was an English author and mathematician who specialised in logic puzzles and mathematical games. He is known as one of the country's foremost creators of mathematical puzzles. Although Dudeney spent his career in the Civil Service, he continued to devise various problems and puzzles. Dudeney's first puzzle contributions were submissions to newspapers and magazines, often under the pseudonym of "Sphinx." Much of this earlier work was a collaboration with American puzzlist Sam Loyd; in 1890, they published a series of articles in the English penny weekly Tit-Bits. Dudeney later contributed puzzles under his real name to publications such as The Weekly Dispatch, The Queen, Blighty, and Cassell's Magazine.

Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás, known in English as George Santayana (1863 - 1952), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist. Originally from Spain, Santayana was raised and educated in the US from the age of eight and identified himself as an American, although he always retained a valid Spanish passport. At the age of 48, Santayana left his position at Harvard and returned to Europe permanently. Santayana is popularly known for aphorisms, such as "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it", "Only the dead have seen the end of war", and the definition of beauty as "pleasure objectified". Although an atheist, he treasured the Spanish Catholic values, practices, and worldview in which he was raised.

From the publisher: Brimming with adolescent angst, the authors embark on a journey to reconnect seventeen years after they were seventeen. A conversation in poems and letters, Light Travels Further than Sound invites you into the private world of the authors - a world with its own language and mythology. "Dudgrick Bevins and Allen Lanning draw on the rituals of Georgia youth to create their own rites and mythology. Their shared experiences shape the work that follows - poems that at once feel familiar and utterly unknowable." - Chris Cummins

My 2014 journal scanned And photography from my trip to Japan.

Depuis que nous avons eu connaissance, il y a de nombreuses années, de l'unique livre complet écrit du vivant de Maître Jigoro Kano, nous nous sommes toujours demandé pourquoi il n'avait jamais été traduit en d'autres langues que le japonais. Un ouvrage d'une telle importance doit être montré à tous, sans réserve aucune. L'¿uvre de Jigoro Kano est d'une importance cruciale pour comprendre à la fois l'évolution du ju jutsu, racine du Judo Kodokan, et le développement du budo, tant au Japon qu'en Occident.Beaucoup de choses ont été écrites à propos des pensées de Jigoro Kano, de ses idéaux et de la conception qu'il avait des arts martiaux et du sport. Il existe de nombreuses publications basées sur d'anciens articles, documents, conférences, etc., mais son chef d'¿uvre, publié en 1931 (et réédité en 1953) sous le titre de Judo Kyohon ne fut jamais traduit en français jusqu'à aujourd'hui.Il est aujourd'hui difficile, voire quasiment impossible, d'obtenir une copie de cet ouvrage, le peu d'exemplaires encore existants étant généralement en piètre état et leurs propriétaires peu enclins à les exposer en public.Pour nous qui aimons le judo, il est gratifiant de comprendre à quel point le judo actuel (essentiellement sportif) s'est éloigné du concept qui conduisit à sa création : judo comme forme de budo (art martial), méthode de self-défense et système d'éducation complet pour l'individu.Ce sujet est traité dans plusieurs parties du présent livre, par exemple dans les chapitres relatifs aux atemi-wazas ou aux katas quasiment oubliés, tels le Seiryoku zenyo kokumin taiiku ou le Kime shiki.Nous proposons ici un livre sans aucun doute unique, d'une valeur extraordinaire, au service de Vous tous.Dédicacé à tous les amoureux des arts martiaux.

This work examines a biopolitical approach to issues of food, specifically hunger and overconsumption. It is studied throughout traumatic periods of history, intertwined with a contemporary ideological understanding of lifestyle, fashion, and wellbeing. The notion of food is understood not only in its material physical and nutritional dimension, but also in its strong symbolical meaning actualized in visual representation, rituals, texts, and memory. The performative aspect of ingestion gives a subject for thought about the role of affects as an alternative expressive channel with a capacity to reach deeper layers of veiled desires and intentions.
