Touching the Invisible
Three experienced Shiatsu practitioners share knowledge and insights gained over thirty years of clinical practice and teaching to create a book they themselves would have wanted to provide practical guidance and philosophical perspective on this healing art. The book’s central themes are awareness, intuition and intention in the practice of Shiatsu and how this body-mind perspective can influence the wider health debate. A modern rendering of the ancient wisdom underpinning Shiatsu and Oriental medicine, this book goes beyond the technical details of Shiatsu as a specific therapy to the universal principles underlying it. Presenting Shiatsu from different perspectives, ranging from its ph...

Butoh America
Butoh America unearths the people and networks that popularized Butoh dance in the Americas through a focused look at key artists, producers, and festivals in the United States and Mexico. This is the first book to gather these histories into one narrative and look at the development of American Butoh. From its inception in San Francisco in 1976, American Butoh aligned with avant-garde performance art in alternative venues such as galleries and experimental theaters. La MaMa in New York and the Festival Internacional Cervantino in Guanajuato both served to legitimize the form as esteemed experimental performance. A crystallizing moment in each of the three locations—San Francisco, New York, and Mexico City—has been a grand-scale festival featuring prominent Japanese and numerous other international artists, as well as fostering local communities. This book stitches together the flow of people and ideas, highlights the connections in the Butoh diaspora, and incorporates interviewee perspectives regarding future directions for the genre in the Americas.
Es ist genug, Mama
Nach wie vor leisten heutzutage hauptsächlich Mütter die Care-Arbeit in der Familie. Sie übernehmen einen Großteil der Kinderbetreuung, organisieren den Alltag und versuchen bei all dem, ihren eigenen Weg nicht zu vergessen. Allen gerecht werden, mich dabei aber selbst nicht zu vergessen, ist ein Wunsch, den die meisten Mütter heute haben. Einer, an dem viele verzweifeln. Dieses Buch soll Müttern einen Weg aufzeigen, wie sie den Alltag mit Kindern wieder gut meistern können, ohne sich dabei komplett selbst aufzugeben, wie sie ausgeglichen und zufrieden den Bedürfnissen aller begegnen können. Neben persönlichen Erzählungen, Einblicken in die Welt der Achtsamkeit und zahlreichen alltagstauglichen Übungen, gibt es am Ende einen 8-Wochen-Kurs, der helfen soll, wieder zu sich selbst und dem, was wirklich wichtig ist, zurückzufinden.

The author examines and interprets the connections between Daoist numerology, the spirit of classical C...

The Heart of Aikido
With its message of universal harmony, the martial art of Aikido is attracting an ever-expanding number of followers all around the world. There are now 1,600,000 Aikido practitioners in 90 different countries. The Heart of Aikido: The Philosophy of Takemasu Aiki focuses on the human values and promotion of peace that legendary founder Morihei Ueshiba believed were at Aikido’s core. Takemasu Aiki means, "the life-generating force capable of unlimited transformations," an idea that serves as the spiritual foundation on which Aikido rests. The book, translated into English for the first time, draws on the essence of the founder’s philosophy and spirituality, which was based on the Shinto religion. It presents such tenets as: the importance of harmony in the martial arts, the ultimate promotion of peace by dispelling any aggression through such harmony, and the divinity of the true self and the universe. The Japanese version of the book holds a special place in the hearts of Aikido practitioners; the English-language edition has been eagerly awaited and is sure to be greeted with great excitement.
Quantum Entanglement in High Energy Physics
This book is devoted to research topics in quantum entanglement at the energy frontier of particle and nuclear physics, and important interdisciplinary collaborations with colleagues from fields outside of physics. A non-exhaustive list of examples of the latter can include mathematics, computer science, social sciences, philosophy, and how physics can interact with them in a way that supports successful outcomes. These are exciting times in the field of quantum information science, with new research results and their applications in society exhibiting themselves rather frequently. But what is even more exciting is that the frequency of these new results and their applications increases with a rapidity that will motivate new methods, new theories, new experiments, and new collaborations outside of the field that future researchers will find quite challenging.
