        Krav Maga: How to Defend Yourself against Physical Attack

        by Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or (Lichtenfeld) & Chief Instructor Eyal Yanilov

        Krav Maga, developed by Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or (Lichtenfeld) since the 1930s, was once a method of hand-to-hand combat strictly confined to security agents and members of the MOSSAD and elite IDF units. The method has been adapted for civilians so that anyone, of any age, sex, or physical ability, can utilize it. Based on natural reactions of the human body, the discipline is easy to learn and perform, and practical to use.  Krav Maga has rapidly gained in popularity and earned recognition by experts the world over. In the US, South America, Europe, Australia, and the Far East, this unique self-defense method has already been taught to and used by official law enforcement agencies, as well as many ordinary citizens.  Written by Imi Sde-Or and his senior disciple Eyal Yanilov as part of the Founder’s Series, Krav Maga: How to Defend Yourself Against Physical Attack is the first of two volumes presenting the key principles and training methods for unarmed combat. Laid out an accessible, step-by-step format, the book covers the basics, from safety in training, warm-up, stretching, and flexibility to principles of attacks, stances, and starting positions. The authors offer strategies for every imaginable scenario: defending punches and kicks, releases from chokes, headlock and nelson, grabs, punches, throws, and more. Also emphasizing the psychological underpinnings of the discipline, the book expands its usefulness with sections on mental training, vulnerable points, multiple attackers, and women’s self-defense.  About the Authors Eyal Yanilov began training in Krav Maga with Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or when he was 15. Yanilov was the first person to begin training Krav Maga instructors outside of Israel, and he has taught special units, the military, and civilians in over 18 countries. Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or, Founder of Krav Maga, passed away in 1998 at age 88. An English-language North-American edition has been scheduled for publication in Fall  2024. Each volume contains 240 pages, altogether 800-plus b/w photos & illustrations; 16.5 x 24 cm

        vierzig kilometer nacht

        Gedichte | Georg-Büchner-Preis 2023

        by Lutz Seiler

        Vor jedem Gedicht, schrieb Lutz Seiler, liegt die »Geschichte, die wir erlebt haben, das Gedicht trifft ihren Ton, es erzählt sie nicht, es erzählt ihren Ton«. Bedachtsam und nah an den Substanzen arbeitet Seiler sein Material wieder und wieder durch, unaufgeregt, sicher im Ton, mit unverwechselbarer Stimme. Lutz Seilers Gedichte, entstanden zwischen 2000 und 2003, unternehmen eine Reise durch vierzig kilometer nacht, sie führen hinaus aus der vom Uranbergbau zerstörten Herkunftslandschaft von pech & blende über »deutsche alleenstrassen« und »hinter garagen-zeilen« - hinein in die historische Schichtung mitteldeutscher und brandenburger Gegend. Mit außerordentlicher musikalischer Sprachkraft verbindet der Autor auf diesem Weg Biographisches, Landschaftliches und Politisches zu »Nervensystemen der Erinnerung«. Dabei sind es die einfachen, konkreten Dinge, an denen Geschichte für einen Moment lesbar wird, in einer augenblicklich treffgenauen, nicht wiederholbaren Konstellation von Vergangenheit und Gegenwart.

        England’s military heartland

        Preparing for war on Salisbury Plain

        by Vron Ware, Antonia Dawes, Mitra Pariyar, Alice Cree

        A considered investigation of a long-standing army base's impact on the British countryside. What is it like to live next door to a British Army base? Beyond the barracks provides an eye-opening account of the sprawling military presence on Salisbury Plain, drawing on a wide range of voices from both sides of the divide. Targeted for expansion under government plans to reorganise the UK's global defence estate, the Salisbury 'super garrison' offers a unique opportunity to explore the impact of the military footprint in a particular place. But this is no ordinary environment: as well as being the world-famous site of Stonehenge, the grasslands of Salisbury Plain are home to rare plants and wildlife. How does the army take responsibility for conserving this unique landscape as it trains young men and women to use lethal weapons? Are its claims that its presence is a positive for the environment anything more than propaganda? Beyond the barracks investigates these questions against the backdrop of a historic landscape inscribed with the legacy of perpetual war.
