8 Men and a Duck charts the hilarious and unnerving Pacific voyage as it rolls between waves of high drama and high farce: from the five-day launch off a Chilean beach, to the bungled phone call that triggered a naval rescue alert, to the sad fate of Pedro the duck, to the constant race against the inexorable sinking of the soggy hull.On a fateful South American bus trip, journalist Nick Thorpe overheard some fellow passengers discussing an improbable plan to sail 2,500 miles from northern Chile to Easter Island on the Viracochaa boat made of reeds. The crews aim in reviving this pre-Incan boat-building technology was twofold: to reopen the controversial migration theories of Thor Heyerdahl, who sailed his boat the Kon-Tiki from Peru to Polynesia in 1947, and to have one heck of an adventure in the process. Thorpe talked his way on board Captain Phil Bucks Viracocha only to find himself plagued by uncertainty. Why did the crew include a tree surgeon, a jewelry salesman, and two ducks? What happened to the navigator? Did anybody actually know how to sail? And, most important, where was the life raft? Despite the best efforts of storms and sharks and fast-moving freighters, an alarming lack of sailing qualifications, and a rival explorer dogging the adventure at every turn, the crew members of the Viracocha lived to tell their extraordinary tale right through to its wickedly unexpected conclusion. Nick Thorpes account is by turns funny, touching, and thrillinga story of friendship, fate, and the unlikely distances people will go for real adventure.

It has been said that forewarned is forearmed. Many students dont know what to expect or how to increase motivation, retention, and rate of learning when first signing up to study the martial arts. You are left in the hands of an instructor who is often a student himself, and not a teacher by profession. The Power Trip: How to Survive and Thrive in the Dojo is an informative and critical series of books that will give you the power to thrive in an environment where other students and even instructors at times sit on their "high horses," arguing over "best techniques" or making snide remarks about your performance. It will also arm you for the day you will begin teaching the martial arts (or help you improve your technique if you are already teaching), and show you how to build your integrity and repute as an instructor.If you are a new student in the martial arts, ready to sign up for your first lesson, you will gain a lot of information about the difficulties you can expect to encounter sometime throughout your training, and explore options for resolving potential conflicts. If you are a seasoned martial artist with years under your belt, you will no doubt recognize many of the scenarios presented, and be able to look back at your journey and consider what you could have done differently. Since the advice is not style specific but explores a multitude of scenarios that frequently play themselves out in the martial arts training hall, it applies to students of most martial styles.8 Methods for Learning the Martial Arts, Setting Goals, and Getting Motivated, the third book in the series, defines learning and explores the factors that help you expedite the acquisition of knowledge and skill. It also discusses different teaching and learning methods you might encounter in the training hall, and offers several exercises for both instructors and students. Lastly, the book provides a number of tips on factors that affect motivation, goal setting, and retention of new material. The material in this book is excerpted from the previously published book (now out of print), The Complete Martial Arts Student, also by Martina Sprague.The full series comprises the following books:1. 10 Things the Martial Arts Student Must Understand2. 8 Ways to Be Professional and Ethical in the Martial Arts3. 8 Methods for Learning the Martial Arts, Setting Goals, and Getting Motivated4. 6 Ways to Improve Performance and Correct Errors in the Martial Arts5. 8 Ways to Benefit from Critique and Testing in the Martial Arts6. 6 Tips for Communicating Effectively and Dealing with Behavioral Problems in the Martial Arts

Menschenliebe, Schlitzohrigkeit und Weltuntergang: neue Erzahlungen des bulgarischen Melancholikers:In Georgi Gospodinovs Erzahlungen begegnen wir hinterwaldlerischen Dorfbewohnernauf dem sudlichen Balkan, einem Kind, das nacheinander verschiedene Vater adoptiert,einem Autor, der ganz Lissabon nach einer unbekannten Schonen absucht, undzahlreichen simplen oder auch raffinierten Ehebruchen; einige Geschichten werfenBlicke in die kommunistische Vergangenheit des Landes und andere in die Zukunft derMenschheit.Wie in der Titelgeschichte die Zeit, die das Licht von der Sonne zur Erde braucht,gerade das bisschen Zeit ist, die der Autor dem Leser zur Lekture des Textes einraumt,so lauern in vielen Texten Gospodinovs Weltuntergangsgedanken, Sorgen und Trauerum die Unzuverlassigkeit der Menschen.Verspielt, elegant und mit allen Wassern der Postmoderne gewaschen, breitet Gospodinov eine Welt vor uns aus, wie wir sie aus seinen beiden Romanen schon kennen eine Welt, die zwar detailgenau und oft sehr komisch diesseitig ist, aber dennoch mehr den Einfallen und Eskapaden der Phantasie als den Gesetzen der Realitat folgt.
