A living legend, Bob Koga spent 35 years in the LAPD, and studied under Aikido's distinguished Koichi Tohei. Koga served as the personal interpreter to Sensei Tohei during the Master's first visits, when Tohei revealed the secrets of Aikido to the United States (Koichi Tohei is the only person formarly awarded the rank of 10th Dan by Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido).
Co-written by Koga's own students, this inspiring work includes gripping testimonies from law enforcement officers throughout the US, whose lives were saved because of their training under Koga. Bob Koga drew from his experience to develop and teach real-life arrest and control techniques to law enforcement officers for 45 years, so far! He was inducted into the martial arts Masters Hall of Fame in 2000. This book provides a unique insight into Koga's life, from childhood to the development of the philosophy behind Koga's dedication to professionalize law enforcement.
This is the personal story behind the legend that is Robert Koga.

Well, sometimes I've felt just totally trascendent when making love, but usually I haven't known how to go to that amazing expanded place during sex, where there's no difference between me and my true love, and we just blast off into some infinite place that is definitely spiritual. Now I know - it's a secret everyone should know, which is why I'm writing these notes.
Selby is a psychologist who really knows how our minds and our spirit work together, and his book explains real simply what the mystic experience during orgasm is all about. He also teaches totally pragmatic ways to help a spiritual experience happen, every time you make love ... many thanks to him!
What I was especially surprised and happy to learn about, was that we can act on our own to finally heal old heartbreaks that get in the way of really opening up to our new love - that's where this book most helped me, since I'd just come out of a real heartbreak, and I'm mostly over it now, thanks to this book.
The other thing I learned from reading Sex and Spirit and then working with the inner programs of the book is that right when we're making love, we can consciously shift into special states of mind where we let go of worries, tune into the present moment, and allow some deeper natural force or whatever to "move us" together toward orgasm.
And one other thing that's really great are the chapters on letting go of trying to be a good lover, and also letting go of fantasies while making love - so that you're fully "here" and the pure experience just overwhelms ... I can't say all of this as good as the author does, he's definitely an expert on sexuality and he's also just very kind and patient in his teachings ...
Enjoying wild sex and deep spiritual feelings at the same time ... that's about as good as life gets - and this book is definitely the hands-on manual for really opening up and letting your whole soul merge with your lover. I give this ten stars!

Focusing on the experiences of the ordinary Western Allied soldier during the Second World War Ellis discusses the circumstances affecting the lives of the front line soldier from recruitment through training and combat to his eventual fate.
Ellis examines the detail of what was actually happening to the individual Tommy or GI, using many first hand accounts and an appropriate admixture of statistics, without ever becoming heavy going or gratuitously gory. Where there are blood and tears they are there because that is how it was. This approach enables a number of popular myths about the war to be examined in a clearer light. His comparison of the experiences of members of the rifle companies of an infantry battalion during the Second World War with his predecessor of 1914-18 is especially illuminating as is his analysis of what actually keeps soldiers fighting.
I found the book impossible to stop reading and was left with a feeling of great sadness, profound respect for individuals who kept going in circumstances that I personally would find overwhelming and a greater understanding of the mechanics of war that tend to sink below the magnification of many conventional military histories. If you have any interest in the subject matter at all, or possibly in the reaction of ordinary people to extraordinary circumstances, you should read 'The Sharp End'.
