This book will give you a basic understanding of the origin of Okinawa, its emergence onto the world's stage, and its evolution over the centuries to become the subtropical paradise that we've come to know and love. Having collected so many books and papers about pre-war, wartime and post-war Okinawa, it occurred to me that there is an almost endless array of publications, each offering abundant facts, opinions and uncertainties as to events, dates of events and details of just about every aspect of the principalities, kingdom, province, then finally prefecture of Okinawa-ken including its 27-year interruption under U.S. occupation. There is no way to present a comprehensive volume that cove...
NATSUKASHII: Uchinaa nu umui / Old Times: Reflections of Okinawa offers you an extensive up close and personal experience as you follow me day by day, throughout my last five trips to Okinawa. I detail what it's like to live and play on the island by way of reading daily accounts complemented by historical details that are woven into my dialogue as well as links to hundreds of my videos that allow you to accompany me on adventures from underwater caves to the majestic top of Rainmaker Mountain. Ride along as I take you on windshield tours along the Okinawa Expressway and down country roads of remote outlying islands. Sail with me as I ferry to Ieshima or slog through the mud with me at a rice field festival. Traipse along through tall grass or laze at a chimujiruban. This book will get you as close as you can get to the real Okinawa without actually being there - which is kinda nice now since COVID has shut the door on vacation travel to Japan.
Where to begin? I began this little narrative with a few questions in mind. Why do I even want to do this book? To whom do I want to address my commentary? What do I have to offer that you may not have already seen or read somewhere else? Why should you even want to read this? And the one question that we all ask for which we never quite get a good answer: What is Growth Hacking? Hey, Mick! Why do you want to write a book? Because I have some things to share about my experiences on Okinawa. I'm old and may not be around much longer. Some who know me may miss my subjecting them to stories and anecdotes about that little island out in the middle of Nowhere that I love so dearly, so this narrat...
Jewish Contiguities and the Soundtrack of Israeli History revolutionizes the study of modern Israeli art music by tracking the surprising itineraries of Jewish art music in the move from Europe to Mandatory Palestine and Israel. Leaving behind clichés about East and West, Arab and Jew, this book provocatively exposes the legacies of European antisemitism and religious Judaism in the making of Israeli art music.
