Wingshooting
"Pete Blakeley's revolutionary unit lead system for learning to shoot well has put more birds in many a hunter's bag. His unique instruction helps simplify that elusive and key element of the successful bird hunter: forward allowance, or lead. Successful shotgunning depends on creating accurate sight pictures of the birds. Wingshooting explores the three variables that determine each sight picture--the flight line of the bird, its speed, and the distance to the bird--to help your decipher the correct lead for each bird. This is shooting advice from not only a fellow bird hunter but also a professional shooting coach who explains why you miss and what you can do about it.

He then goes on to set out a manifesto for a better future, a place where liberty and security can be...
Dancing the Dharma
Dancing the Dharma examines the theory and practice of allegory by exploring a select group of medieval Japanese noh plays and treatises. Susan Blakeley Klein demonstrates how medieval esoteric commentaries on the tenth-century poem-tale Ise monogatari (Tales of Ise) and the first imperial waka poetry anthology Kokin wakashū influenced the plots, characters, imagery, and rhetorical structure of seven plays (Maiguruma, Kuzu no hakama, Unrin’in, Oshio, Kakitsubata, Ominameshi, and Haku Rakuten) and two treatises (Zeami’s Rikugi and Zenchiku’s Meishukushū). In so doing, she shows that it was precisely the allegorical mode—vital to medieval Japanese culture as a whole—that enabled th...
