Krav Maga - Combat Mindset & Fighting Stress
How to Perform under Alarming and Stressful conditions
by Eyal Yanilov and Ole Boe
Krav Maga emerged from the Israel Defense Forces. It was then transformed into an integrated system of self-defense, fighting tactics, and VIP protection that meets the needs of government units as well as civilians, including men and women of all ages. This inventive new Krav Maga title, covering the yet-unknown inner work of the system, has been discreetly prepared over the last few years and relates to our classic bestselling Krav Maga book, How to Defend Yourself against Armed Assault, which has so far been published in twelve languages, including Japanese and Korean. As George S. Patton, the celebrated US Army general, said, “Now if you are going to win any battle you have to make the mind run the body.... When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired.... You've always got to make the mind take over...and keep going.” This innovative Krav Maga book depicts cutting-edge techniques and training methods for martial artists, and was tailored for law-enforcement and military personnel. It covers the most sensitive core topics that have proved to be highly applicable in professional and personal situations alike. Combat Mindset & Fighting Stress was prepared by Master Eyal Yanilov, who is the most distinguished successor of Krav Maga’s founder, Imi Sde-Or, and wrote the first Krav Maga book with him. Yanilov coauthored this latest work with his prominent disciple, Dr. Ole Boe, a Norwegian special forces fighter and psychologist. The book’s editor and publisher, Zvi D. Morik—the official publisher of the original Krav Maga series, and a direct student, assistant, and friend of Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or for over thirty years—considers it to be the most pioneering and revolutionary work among current Krav Maga literature. An English-language edition was co-published in spring 2020 with Meyer & Meyer Sport UK. A Chinese edition has been scheduled for publication in Fall 2024.

January 2023Cat Fighter
by Mu Ling
A kitten born with spots on her head resembling the seven stars of the Big Dipper is named Ah Dou by her owner. She grows from a pet to a warrior who fights dogs and snakes, but because of the nature of cats to act on their own, she is mistakenly injured by a poacher's trap in the forest, far from the cottage. In order to avoid becoming a meal for the big dogs, she bit off one of the trapped legs and escaped with her life. Because of the pain of the villagers to heal her wound, he misunderstood the villagers and escaped into the jungle, where he became a wild beast in the fight with the falcons, weasels, red jackals and other predators. However, she still lives on, until she becomes a mother.

December 2023Hatred of Jews
A never-ending story?
by Sebastian Voigt
— An overall presentation of the history of anti-Semitism based on the latest research — A necessary book that helps to recognise (and combat) anti-Jewish attitudes and patterns of behaviour even in the present day The Hamas attack on Israel is further aggravating the situation in the Middle East, and will continue to intensify anti-Semitism. And this plague, combined with Israel’s denied right to exist; the attacks in Brussels and Paris; the aggressive violence against everything Jewish in the Islamic world – is as dangerous as ever. Hatred of the Jews is old, vast and strong. The anamnesis began 2500 years ago in the Middle Ages, and came to head in the 18th and 19th centuries. It culminated ideologically in the Wannsee Conference, and became murderous in Auschwitz. Historian Sebastian Voigt provides a dense history of the hatred of the Jews – and combines it with a passionate call for courageous resistance.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2010The secret battle
Emotional survival in the great war
by Michael Roper, Bertrand Taithe, Penny Summerfield, Peter Gatrell, Max Jones, Ana Carden-Coyne
What did home mean to British soldiers and how did it help them to cope with the psychological strains of the Great War? Family relationships lie at the heart of this book. It explores the contribution letters and parcels from home played in maintaining the morale of this largely young, amateur army. And it shows how soldiers, in their turn, sought to adapt domestic habits to the trenches. Pursuing the unconscious clues within a rich collection of letters and memoirs with the help of psychoanalytical ideas, including those formulated by the veteran tank commander Wilfred Bion, this study asks fundamental questions about the psychological resources of this generation of young men. It reveals how the extremities of battle exposed the deepest emotional ties of childhood, and went on marking the post-war domestic lives of those who returned. ;

Children's & YADecember 2019The Middle
by Richa Jha and Eva Sanchez Gomez
The Middle is a story of a journey within a journey. A voracious reader, Azma, whose mind is full of questions as she reads, finds that the more books she consumes, the more the whys and hows in them consume her. One night, a torn scrap of paper floats into her room, carrying an incomplete line within its crinkles. She desperately searches for any missing words to complete the lonely phrase but failing at each attempt, she finally turns to writing her own beginning and end. The pages of The Middle are filled with surreal creatures - formidable, terrifying, looming – and these represent the fears and doubts of a mind struggling to make sense of the worlds captured within those books that only partially satisfy her as a reader. Azma embarks on an incomplete journey, ready to create its origin and end, finally realising the answers to all her impossible questions can only come to her when she writes her own version of the story. It is only then that the haunting creatures begin to soften and harmlessly melt away into themselves. Richa Jha’s lyrical prose and Eva Sanchez Gomez’s breathtaking visual poetry come together to narrate a tale that is both stunning and thought-provoking. For all the restless creative souls out there, The Middle presents an all-familiar trajectory of creating something new.

March 2009Hero und Leander
by Musaios, Marion Giebel, Marion Giebel
Hero, von den Eltern zur Priesterin bestimmt, lebt allein in Sestos am nördlichen Ufer der Dardanellen. Im gegenüberliegenden Abydos stürzt sich auf der asiatischen Seite Leander allnächtlich in die Fluten, um, geleitet von der Öllampe, die Hero ins Fenster ihres Wohnturms stellt, zu ihr zu gelangen – bis eines Nachts im Sturm die Flamme verlischt. Die Sage von den zwei Königskindern, die zusammen nicht kommen können, weil das Wasser viel zu tief ist, hat schon Ovid gestaltet, ihre vollendete Fassung, auf die sich auch Bearbeiter wie Schiller und Grillparzer beziehen, findet sich aber in dem Versepos des Musaios, der um 500 nach Christus lebte. In der neuen, eleganten Prosaübertragung von Marion Giebel wird dieser anrührende Text, mit bildnerischen Darstellungen des Mythos aus verschiedenen Zeiten sowie einem die geschichtlichen Zusammenhänge erläuternden Nachwort versehen, wieder auf deutsch zugänglich gemacht.

November 2019The Lionesses and the Battle for the Green Diamonds
by Yang Peng
Naledi is a normal 12 year old girl living in Maun Botswana —normal, that is, until the day Oratile, her bully at school, notices the three scars she has on her arm, scars she got on the day her mother died. Oratile recognizes those scars because she has them too! But how can that be? Slowly the truth about what those scars mean is revealed—Naledi, just like Oratile, is one of the Lionesses, secret female superheroes fighting to keep Earth and its people safe from evil. Her mother gave her those scars as she was dying so that she could pass her Lioness powers to Naledi. Meanwhile, Sheridan, Naledi’s best friend, has uncovered a secret group of scientists working in Maun, the SES, who are working on Earth’s most pressing problems. They’ve developed a forever-energy-producing object, a green diamond, which can solve all of Earth’s energy needs. It seems like a good thing, but if it gets into the wrong hands it could be a very big problem. Unfortunately, the wrong hands are on their way to Earth for that very reason. Naledi quickly starts learning how to be a Lioness but the time is short because evil is coming! That evil is in the form of Verril, an alien leader from the planet Kepler C, who has a single objective: to take over the entire Universe. The problem is Verril needs energy to power her superweapons that will ensure in battle she and the Keplerians will always be the victors. She is coming to Earth to get the forever-energy producing green diamonds. If she’s successful, the end of The Universe, including Earth, will not be far behind. The Lionesses are the only ones who can stop Verril from getting the green diamonds. Naledi will risk nearly everything to keep the green diamonds out for Verril’s evil hands…the question is: will that be enough to save the Universe?

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2023The Lord’s battle
Preaching, print and royalism during the English Revolution
by William White
This book explores the preaching and printing of sermons by royalists during the English Revolution. While scholars have long recognised the central role played by preachers in driving forward the parliamentarian war-effort, the use of the pulpit by the king's supporters has rarely been considered. The Lord's battle, however, argues that the pulpit offered an especially vital platform for clergymen who opposed the dramatic changes in Church and state that England experienced in the mid-seventeenth century. It shows that royalists after 1640 were moved to rethink earlier attitudes to preaching and print, as the unique potential for sermons to influence both popular and elite audiences became clear. As well as contributing to our understanding of preaching during the Civil Wars therefore, this book engages with recent debates about the nature of royalism in seventeenth-century England.

Intimacy and injury
In the wake of #MeToo in India and South Africa
by Nicky Falkof, Srila Roy, Shilpa Phadke
Both India and South Africa have shared the infamy of being labelled the world's 'rape capitals', with high levels of everyday gender-based and sexual violence. At the same time, both boast long histories of resisting such violence and its location in wider cultures of patriarchy, settler colonialism and class and caste privilege. Through the lens of the #MeToo moment, the book tracks histories of feminist organising in both countries, while also revealing how newer strategies extended or limited these struggles. Intimacy and injury is a timely mapping of a shifting political field around gender-based violence in the global south. In proposing comparative, interdisciplinary, ethnographically rich and analytically astute reflections on #MeToo, it provides new and potentially transformative directions to scholarly debates this book builds transnational feminist knowledge and solidarity in and across the global south.
