Master the Main Meridians of PowerThe remarkable martial art technique of dim-mak, frequently misrepresented and misunderstood as the "touch of death," or "death-point striking," is actually the strategic and focused use of force to cause pain or lethal damage to an aggressor. Master Erle Montaigue and Wally Simpson's The Encyclopedia of Dim-Mak: The Main Meridians is the most comprehensive, informative, and authoritative resource on the subject. Montaigue, one of the world's foremost experts on dim-mak techniques, and Simpson, a renowned Australian acupuncturist, together possess an unparalleled knowledge of this ancient Chinese martial art. They map the precise locations of every major strike point on the body, referencing the twelve main energy meridians: gallbladder, liver, bladder, kidney, stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, lungs, colon, triple heater, and pericardium, and go on to catalog the effects of hitting each point during combat or self-defense. The authors also explore combinations of strikes and describe action potentials, angles, set-up points, antidotes, and warnings. Knock-out and deadly points are fully explained, providing skilled practitioners with the knowledge to effectively use strikes in real-world situations. Since the very same points that can be used to cause damage can also be used to heal, Montaigue and Simpson describe what the healing applications of each point are, particularly when used for acupuncture. Detailed photos and illustrations accompany the text, clearly depicting the locations of specific pressure points along the meridians. Complete with glossaries and a bibliography, this vital reference book is essential for the library of any serious martial arts practitioner or those interested in acupuncture and traditional Eastern medicine. This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a hardcover (ISBN 1648373542).

Learn From Charlotte Mason's Essential Guide for Homeschooling ChildrenWhen pioneering British educator Charlotte M. Mason (1842-1923) wrote Home Education: Training and Educating Children Under Nine in 1886, the need for such a practical guide for families was paramount. At the time, such holistic homeschooling methods were largely undocumented and parents benefited greatly from the sharing of Mason's knowledge. The book is just as relevant and popular today, as parents and teachers alike continue to employ the Charlotte Mason (CM) method of home schooling for their own children.As one of the earliest leading advocates of parents educating their children at home, Mason was well ahead of her time, particularly in emphasizing that children should be allowed to learn at their own pace and that the role of parents should be to offer generous amounts of encouragement and support in addition to lessons. She also believed in using "Living Books" (high-quality narrative literature that brings subjects alive, offering intellectually stimulating ideas as well as facts), the teaching of positive personal habits, exposure to the arts, journaling, and guided exploration of and immersion in nature. Mason's method provides proven strategies for establishing comfortable home environments that are conducive to successful learning. She regarded education at home as "an atmosphere, a discipline, a life." Home Education collects six in-depth and informative lectures on preliminary considerations, outdoor life, establishing habits, morals, lessons, and conscience. Parents will find this classic book an invaluable resource and will reference it for years to come.
