read the newspaper and a good novel instead.......2001-06-14

this book is unlikely to meet students' and professionals' needs and expectations, maybe because it's trying to do two distinct things at once: prepare students for the TOEFL and help readers incorporate the words into their active vocabulary.

TOEFL prep is probably best served by drill, and this book offers a useful division of vocabulary into manageable chunks.

actually incorporating vocab into your daily speech, however, is quite a different task, and this book offers little in that direction. i find both the 'conversation' and 'short talk' components to each chapter to be quite stilted and unnatural sounding--the exact opposite of the kind of model the target audience actually needs. reading a newspaper and a good novel and then discussing them with others is more likely to produce lasting vocabulary growth.

Book Description

This volume of proceedings contains review and research papers concerning the impact of modern dynamics in astronomy. Modern dynamics is playing an increasing role in the solution of problems raised by astronomical observations. This new relationship is being fostered by recent discoveries of new systems, such as the Kuiper belt, pulsar and star companions; by progress in theoretical dynamics, like KAM and Nekhorochev theories and adiabatic invariants; and by the dissemination of fast computers. The two main areas of applications which are discussed are `stellar systems', including dynamics of galaxies, and `small bodies in the solar system'. In both cases the concepts and tools of chaotic motion are considered and fully discussed. This book is an up-to-date source of information for astronomers interested in the dynamics of the solar system or of stellar systems, as well as for dynamicists who wish to understand the impact of modern theories of chaos in astronomy.

Book Description

This book is much more than an introductory guide to Muso Jikiden Eishin-Ryu Iaijutsu. It manages to emphasize a melding of the Eastern philosophy and the technique of the art, in a marvelously eloquent yet concise manner. Flashing Steel describes and pictures forty-two kata (formal training patterns) which govern this system, with ten partner exercises applying iadid principles in realistic attack and defense systems. These kata are also widely practiced by students of kendo, aikido, and other martial arts which use swordsmanship.

Excellent Book, BUT..........2006-11-14

...Let's face it everyone. You are not going to learn the kata from this book. The book is helpful for remembering them by Name and by Bunkai, helping you keep the cirriculum sorted out in your head, but to learn the kata correctly you will need instruction from a sensei. If there is no chance of instruction, like no dojo within a long distance, I recommend all you self-teachers purchase the MJER videos from the 'Sei Do Kai online catalog'. These are the best videos on MJER I've ever seen, with superbly detailed demonstrations and bunkai. Without the demonstrations and descriptions by a teacher on a video like that, you have no hope of gaining even mediocre mastery of the system without personal instruction.

For those who are recieving instruction the book is perfect, since the kata descriptions are mostly for reflection after being taught firsthand. As mentioned by the other reviewers, the best aspects of Flashing Steel are the Philosophy section and the Kihon. These will help you learn the purpose and fundamentals of Iaijutsu, but for the kata, this or any other book will always be insufficient on their own.

I give the book five stars because it is definitely a great read and reference, but don't buy this thinking it is all you need to master Iaijutsu. Too many people make that mistake. Just look at YouTube.

Good book for those who search details about all Iaido Katas.......2006-03-17

A well written book with good hints for those who are well qualified in Iaido and just need some very details about the Katas. The book covers all levels and all major Katas. Probably due to size limitations the number of pictures are less than enough to follow in detail the actions. The posing helping staff in the pictures are beginners which greatly hinder the understanding of the real meaning of the bunkai (applications).

THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!!!!.......2006-03-15

If you are, or ever have been interested in the art of samurai sword fighting, this book is definately for you! It has great introductory chapters discussing the samurai/eishin-ryu-jutsu philosophy and way of life, as well as excellent instruction on cutting techniques. It gives you a new respect and outlook on life, and teaches you to truly respect your katana; if, in fact you have one; as an entity of its own, as well as an extension of yourself. If you have ever been interested in samurai swordsmanship, BUY THIS BOOK!!!!

Excellent Book!!.......2006-02-28

It is a great reference for anyone who wants to learn about martial arts history, bushido or start in Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaijutsu. Highly recommended!

Good book.......2002-05-07

This another one of my favorites. It's about this teenager who was really close to this old grocer. This grocer was murdered right next to his grocery store. This teenager is devastated to hear about the murder. They were REALLY close. This man was like a father this kid never had. He taught him how to ride a bike, tie his shoes and so forth. To find out who killed the grocer, read the book. It's great.
