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.

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!

Remembering O-Sensei
Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), founder of the Japanese martial art of Aikido, is one of the greatest and most beloved martial artists in history. Remembering O-Sensei is a portrait of Ueshiba as told by his uchi-deshi, the students who lived and trained with him as his disciples. This collection of memories--gathered here for the first time--captures the essence of this extraordinary martial arts master and visionary, revealing Ueshiba's teaching style, his daily habits, his philosophy of life, the lovably human aspects of his personality, and his deep belief that Aikido could be used as a means to creating peace and harmony in the world. The book also provides a snapshot of a fascinating time in Japanese history when a student would apprentice with his master by essentially moving in with him and receiving instruction through rigorous training sessions, and also by serving him and observing his actions in daily life. Most of the students whose remembrances are included in this book went on to spread the teaching of Aikido throughout the world and became masters in their own right.
