The Great Joseki Debates
Learning Joseki is an important step on the road to mastering go. However, learning how to choose the winning joseki is even more important. This excellent book bridges the gap between fuseki, the opening moves of the game, and joseki. Joseki are sequences of plays in the corners that give a local result that is equal in value to both white and black. By playing a joseki you ensure that you avoid mistakes.

Making a Great Ruler
How does a ruler become "the Great"? Is greatness a part of authority exercised or a part of an image created? These and other questions are addressed in this volume on the life and memory of Grand Duke Vytautas of Lithuania (r.1392-1430). The study raises a hypothesis that Vytautas was the main engineer of his image as the great ruler while his contemporaries and later generations developed this image and adapted it to their needs and understandings. Investigating the propaganda surrounding the grand duke, this study reveals that, in fact, there were two opposite images: that of a good ruler and that of a tyrant. The paradox is that frequently these opposites were based on the same features of the grand duke's character or episodes from his biography. The research is based on a wide array of written and visual sources as well as on records of oral tradition. Rich and diverse primary materials are analysed from the perspectives of political and social history, memorial culture, as well as iconography and rhetoric.
