"Bruce Klickstein one of America's most highly regarded aikidoists and the chief instructor of the Aikido Institute of Oakland wrote this book to serve as a guide to the mysteries of aikido. The book is simple and clear enough to aid the student in his or her daily physical practice and at the same time possesses the depth and breadth to inform that practice as it applies to every aspect of living. Klickstein distills aikido's infinite techniques and variations down to five essential forms: Ikkyo Shiho-nage Irimi-nage Kokyu-nage and Koshi-nage. Each of these forms or techniques is presented in detail through words and pictures as an aid to training. But there is more. Klickstein sees each technique as manifesting a unique quality or 'chardacter'. Ikkyo's character for example is 'connectedness' and one's sincere practice of ikkyo in its many variations both reflects and is reflected in one's sense of connectedness in daily life. " .

"In 1982 Raban furnished a small boat with books and pictures and took to the sea making a long looping 3000 mile journey around the British Isles and leading him into a multitude of revealing and often very funny encounters with his fellow citizens - poets priests agile conmen Colonel Blimps boat bums fishermen coal miners politicians tourists. But it is the surrounding sea in all its moods that haunts the pages of COASTING and no writer alive has described the sea so well. Raban cautiously navigating his boat past rocks and shoals in storms and calms becomes a latterday Pilgrim on a modern Progress. " . Simon & Schuster hardcover‎
