Asian history is replete with stories of combat, heroism, self-sacrifice, valor, strategy, and compassion. Samurai, Scoundrels, and Saints includes more than three dozen such stories, ranging from the famous woman warrior, Tomoe Gozen, to how the renowned samurai, Miyamoto Musashi was almost killed in the bath tub and from the monk who defied the Mongols, to the supernatural creatures that reputedly taught the famous warrior Yoshitsune how to fight. It includes tales of daring rescues, narrow escapes, treachery, and Zen enlightenment. The final tale tells the story of "The Last Samurai" who remained in the jungle of Guam from the time of the Japanese surrender in 1945 until he was finally convinced the war was over and he could surrender in 1972. Samurai, Scoundrels and Saints is heavily illustrated and has a beautiful full-color cover. It is sure to appeal to martial artists, arm-chair enthusiasts, those interested in Asian history, and people just looking for a "good read."

The sequel to "Samurai, Scoundrels, and Saints," "Warriors and Wisemen" tells dozens of stories from the rich martial lore of Asia ranging from the historical to the mythical, interspersed with "Zen Interludes." Lavishly illustrated, "Warriors and Wisemen" contains numerous charts and maps to make it easier to follow the action and includes extensive notes and bibliography. Enjoy such wonderful tales as the transmission of the light of Buddha-hood to the Sixth Patriarch of Zen, an illiterate woodcutter; the first major rebellion against the Japanese emperor; samurai who later became spirits who continue to haunt Japan today; one-on-one combat between some of Japan's most famous martial artists; the life and legends of Taiji founder Yang Luchan's sons; the fearless warrior who tried to assassinate China's first emperor; the legendary samurai archer, Tametomo, who may have founded the royal house of Okinawa after losing a war and being banished; and much more. If you like rollicking stories of warriors' daring-do told within an accurate historical context, tales of great Zen masters, and legends of samurai who never die, you'll love this book.

How does a nation become a great power? A global order was emerging in the nineteenth century, one in which all nations were included. This book explores the multiple legal grounds of Meiji Japan's assertion of sovereign statehood within that order: natural law, treaty law, international administrative law, and the laws of war. Contrary to arguments that Japan was victimized by 'unequal' treaties, or that Japan was required to meet a 'standard of civilization' before it could participate in international society, Howland argues that the Westernizing Japanese state was a player from the start. In the midst of contradictions between law and imperialism, Japan expressed state will and legal acumen as an equal of the Western powers – international incidents in Japanese waters, disputes with foreign powers on Japanese territory, and the prosecution of interstate war. As a member of international administrative unions, Japan worked with fellow members to manage technical systems such as the telegraph and the post. As a member of organizations such as the International Law Association and as a leader at the Hague Peace Conferences, Japan helped to expand international law. By 1907, Japan was the first non-western state to join the ranks of the great powers.

Screenwriter Harry Towns continues his misadventures in this novel from a New York Times–bestselling author and “witty chronicler of urban angst” (San Francisco Chronicle). Set in late-1980s New York, this novel continues the story of Harry Towns—who is well into his fifties and is feeling increasingly out of place in the world, but doesn’t let that stop him from pursuing success as a playwright (or at least making some quick cash by selling a TV series). He has a second wife and a young daughter, but he doesn’t let that stop him from bedding the occasional hooker (and getting mugged along the way). It isn’t easy getting older, but Harry plugs along. The only thing that truly paralyzes him is trying to decide whether to get tickets to Cats . . . “A triumph . . . Hilarious.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto) “Harry Towns, like his creator, shows in the end . . . amazing resilience, inventiveness, hope and good humor.” —The Washington Post
