Jeet Kune Do Wisdom
There are many pleasures to be derived from a book on quotations. There is the relief of finding something that has been buzzing in our minds, there is also the pleasure of finding some thought of which we approve but which we have not managed to express clearly and there is a purely retrospective delight. Of course, wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it meaning. While words are not substitutes for the difficult physical and mental training required to master the martial arts, they are a relevant aspect of the transmission and the learning process of every student. Jeet Kune Do Wisdom is an anthology of the best words said by the great teachers of the art developed by Bruce Lee. It examines different elements of the art, including its tradition, philosophy, general training, self- defense, et cetera. If you, the reader, find this work useful as both a guide and a reference work and discover some unexpected sayings, the book will have served its purpose.

Turkey Tails and Tales from Across the USA - Volume 4
In the sport of turkey hunting, there are certain accomplishments which point towards just how fervently a person pursues the wiliest and most cunning game bird in America. One such feat is the taking of a gobbler in all 49 states holding springtime seasons (only Alaska does not), and that's called a U.S. Super Slam. A number of elite hunters have achieved one, while a rapidly growing population is currently trying to join the club. None can match Tom "Doc" Weddle's four, and besides that, he has only two states remaining for an unheard of fifth! This book details the years 2007-2018, as gleaned from Doc's daily hunting journal and camera. Fellow hunters who thrill to the magic found in the turkey woods will most surely find common ground and lots of entertainment in reading of this man's many adventures.As his three previous books have shown, Doc is not "normal." He has designed a life centered around turkey hunting for three months straight every year, and nothing else matters besides that one singularly-focused goal. He spends almost all of that time hunting on public lands. While Doc's vast accomplishments might hint otherwise, the only numbers that he really cares about are the tally of days spent listening to the melodious notes of tom turkeys gobbling in every type of habitat where they can be found. Life is short, and a day of spring not spent out in the turkey woods is a day wasted. The author's battle cry of, "Don't let them pass you by" should be advice heeded by all of us!

The Warrior-Scholar Ideal Revisited
For centuries and millennia, in cultures throughout the world, what Jack Kerwick and Al Ridenhour here refer to as the persona of "the Warrior-Scholar" was extolled as an ideal of human excellence to be embodied by those upon whom the social order depended for its preservation and success. This ideal has largely been lost, and lost particularly to the contemporary Western world. It is the authors' contention that the West would be well-served by restoring this ideal to the pride of place that it once enjoyed.While it's undoubtedly true that, in the vast majority of instances, the Warrior-Scholar ideal was equated with an ideal of manhood, from early on in its recorded history, no less a figure than Plato argued for the inclusion of women among the guardian class in his ideal Republic. The authors do not intend to second guess Plato. Rather, they make it clear that while the Warrior-Scholar ideal certainly offers an ideal of manhood, it offers females an ideal worth pursuing as well. The martial dispositions of the warrior, the intellectual strengths of the scholar, and the seamless combination of these two sets of virtues in one and the same person are equally available to men and women alike.Kerwick and Ridenhour don't presume to offer an historical analysis of either the rise or demise of the Warrior-Scholar throughout the ages. What their essays supply us with is a vision, a moral vision, and some guidance for how, here and now, individuals who are interested in manifesting this vision in their own lives can begin doing so.
