   - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.   Natt90 | Mar 28, 2023 |  A nuclear exchange has created a viable mutation of hairless telepaths called “Baldies.” Mutant, by Henry Kuttner, describes the Baldies as a self-conscious minority community, most of whom wear wigs in public to hide their telepathy. They feel superior to non-telepaths, but they know they are feared and perhaps envied by non-telepaths. These themes are as timely as ever, but the stories are also creatures of their time. One can imagine them as episodes on Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock. They share some themes with A.E. van Vogt’s Slan (1940), and they look forward to such works as Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron” (1961). Mutant, a “fix-up” novel based on short stories that appeared first in Astounding, was originally published under the pseudonym “Lewis Padgett,” a name often used for works Kuttner co-authored with his wife, C. L. Moore. Later editions are usually attributed to Kuttner alone. It is still worth a read. 4 stars.

"Aikido Ground Fighting "presents effective ground techniques that remain true to aikido founder Morehei Ueshiba's teachings while addressing a potential weakness in the system: while aikido is renowned for its submission and compliance techniques as well as grappling from a standing position, it is not known for its effectiveness when it comes to ground fighting. "Aikido Ground Fighting" is a unique look at the roots of aikido techniques (in particular, the kneeling practices of "suwari-waza)" and how they might be applied to defense on the ground. Written by a direct student of Morihei Ueshiba in collaboration with other aikido teachers, this book remains steadfastly true to the founder's teachings while presenting innovative and effective techniques. Containing never-before-published pictures of Ueshiba as well as step-by-step photographs clearly demonstrating techniques, "Aikido Ground Fighting" is designed for aikido students looking to become more well-rounded martial artists as well as practitioners of all martial arts seeking effective self-defense techniques.
