The Imagery StaysBy Sebastian GerberLuke Rhinehart's 'The Dice Man' is probably my favourite work of fiction, so after I read that I was very excited about the prospect of reading his other books. I have been disappointed with several of them and at first I was with 'White Wind, Black Rider' but as time passed and I found my mind drifting back to it, I found I had some strong images of scenes and landscapes described in the story, which fascinates me enough to recommend this as one to read.Of course imagery alone doesn't necessarily make a great book, but there is also a grace to the story with its simplicity and other-worldly themes of warriors and fair maidens in distress.Well worth it for the curious and fans of Luke Rhinehart, though very different from 'The Dice Man'.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. American release of Matari from 1975By Zis is a penDon't really know where the title came from as it certainly didn't clue me in that I was buying a book I already possessed.It appears that the author, or someone with the rights (as Rhinehart is rather elusive) scanned a copy of the original edition and is selling this as a book-on-demand.I would recommend anyone who is really interested in this title to find a used copy of Matari, as this edition is filled with scanning errors which unquestionable detract from the pleasure in reading it. It appears that the edition of "Whim" available at .com is also printed in the same process, though I haven't purchased that edition. It is still available as "Adventures of Wim" on .co.uk. The book itself is not one of Rhinehart's best, though it is an interesting fairy tale set in an ambiguous eastern land. Oboko finds Matari like a blur of darkness lying in the snow of a blizzard. After he carries her lifeless body into an ancient abandoned temple he is astonished when she opens her eyes. What had seemed a frozen lump of silk is transformed into a beautiful woman. Matari says softly, "I didn't die." Thus begins the most dramatic and moving of Luke Rhinehart's books. He has woven an exciting story of three samurai and the beautiful woman they each love, trapped by their very virtues into deadly conflict. Oboko is the poet of the wind, a peace-loving student of Zen; Izzi, the lusty, life-loving court poet on his way to serve the great Lord Arishi, a proud samurai who has vowed to kill Matari, who he believes has been unfaithful. When Lord Arishi's samurai pursue them, Oboko, Izzi and Matari each must choose, with each of their lives in the balance. "A powerful, exciting yarn"-All About Books.

What he likes, now, is doing the exact opposite of what he would normally do: putting salt in his coffee, jogging in a tuxedo, going to work in shorts, pissing in the flowerpots, walking backward, sleeping under his bed.

  • Krupiy* International Humanitarian Law Remains Under-Theorised. Eric
    L EAVING THE D ICE FOR P LAY : A C RITIQUE OF THE A PPLICATION OF THE L AW AND E CONOMICS L ENS TO I NTERNATIONAL H UMANITARIAN L AW Tetyana (Tanya) Krupiy * International humanitarian law remains under - theorised. Eric Posner pioneered the use of law and economics methodology to provide an alter native explanation of international humanitarian law. The present article examines how the use of the cognitive framework underpinning the law and economics (L&E) lens in international humanitarian law (IHL) transforms this legal regime. First of all, the article argues that, although the law and economics methodology accounts for the fact that self - interest is one of the motivating factors behind state action, it does not accommodate the constructivist dimension of international humanitarian law. Furthermo re, while the Chicago School has descriptive capacity for the principle of military necessity, it offers a limited analytic framework for understanding the principle of humanity, both of which are equally important when understanding the foundational basis of IHL. Secondly, the article argues that L&E changes how states interpret the purpose of international humanitarian law, the structure of this legal regime and how individuals apply the legal norms on the battlefield. In other words, it alters the balanc e between military and humanitarian considerations within IHL norms. The rules of targeting will serve as a case study to illustrate some of the problems associated with the application of the L&E lens to IHL, especially how such rules in fact place limita tions on the planning and conduct of military operations.

Whatever You Believe. Everything Is About to Change. The stunningly inventive new novel from the world’s most popular thriller writer Bilbao, Spain Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend a major announcement—the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever.” The evening’s host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a renowned global figure. Kirsch, who was one of Langdon’s first students at Harvard two decades earlier, is about to reveal an astonishing breakthrough… one that will answer two of the fundamental questions of human existence. As the event begins, Langdon and several hundred guests find themselves captivated by an utterly original presentation, which Langdon realizes will be far more controversial than he ever imagined. But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch’s precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Reeling and facing an imminent threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape Bilbao. With him is Ambra Vidal, the elegant museum director who worked with Kirsch to stage the provocative event.

  • Terningemanden?
    Virkelighedens Luke Rhinehart hedder slet ikke Luke Rhinehart, men derimod George Cockcroft. Pseudo- nymet tog han for at forstærke indtrykket af, at ”Terningemanden” er en selvbiografi. Det er den ikke. Men terningelivet har han prøvet på egen krop. Her ses han i Canaan på sit landsted med egen sø, lidt skov og et smukt, hvidt træhus med en stor veranda. ”Terningemanden” Terningemanden fortæller historien om Husker du den succesfulde psykiater Luke Rhinehart, som er i midten af 30’erne og har kone og to børn, men finder sit liv umådelig kedeligt. Som han beretter: »Livet er øer af ekstase i et ocean af ked- somhed, og efter det fyldte tredivte år ser man sjældent land.« TERNINGEMANDEN? Indtil han en dag lader en terning træffe beslutninger for sig og går ned og voldtager sin bedste vens kone, der dog ikke yder den Livets valg: »Terningerne får folk til at indse de utrolige muligheder, som livet har,« helt store modstand.

  • On Est and the Human Potential Movement Robert S. Griffin
    On est and the Human Potential Movement Robert S. Griffin www.robertsgriffin.com A few weeks ago, I watched a DVD from Netflix of a 2007 documentary called "Transformation: The Life and Legacy of Werner Erhard." Werner Erhard (born Jack Rosenberg) had his fifteen minutes of fame (and infamy--is this guy a huckster, a con man?) back in the 1970s as a personal-growth mogul. In the early 1980s personal scandals involving him were reported in a "60 Minutes" segment and Erhard dropped out of sight. It turns out, according to the documentary, that he had gone to live in Europe and all these years later is alive and well in his mid-seventies doing pretty much the same kind of work he was doing back when he was young and in the limelight. Werner Erhard's prominence was linked to a self-improvement training program he devised in the early 1970s called est (lower case). Erhard personally conducted est in the beginning and less frequently later on. It is commonly assumed that est stood for Erhard Seminars Training, but then again est is Latin for "it is" and it is a suffix for the most--highest, happiest. As far as I know, Erhard never clarified where the est title came from. Est drew on ideas and practices Erhard had picked up here and there, including from Dale Carnegie courses, Zen Buddhism, Scientology, and his experiences as a Mind Dynamics seminar instructor. Mind Dynamics, developed by Alexander Everett, was a personal improvement program that operated over the span of two weekends--est followed that pattern.
