All women living in Okinawa, formerly the Ryukyu Kingdom had tattoos on their hands until the Meiji Restoration. Once the practice was banned by the Japanese government the tradition began to fade and by the 1930s the youngest women with tattoos were in their 60s or 70s. Tattooing in Okinawa Volume two is a translation of Obara Kazuo's research in Okinawa. He travelled extensively in Okinawa in the early 1930's recording many examples of tattoos. Due to the Second World War he was unable to publish his findings until 1962.

Advertisers use creative content to sell products or services. Creative film content (moving imagery) can reach consumers across multiple media platforms, including but not limited to television, the Internet, in-store, or on mobile devices. Creative content starts with an idea brought to life through the film production process, which consists of guiding principles centered on execution by way of specific tasks and actions. The process of executing creative content is often fast-paced, has its ups and downs, and even the best-laid plans can go awry. Knowing how to navigate the process increases the chances for success. There are three cornerstones of the film production process: COLLABORATION: First, there must be collaborative planning before production begins and throughout the process. ALIGNMENT: Second, all parties must be aligned to ensure that every piece of content to be executed embodies the approved creative strategy. ACCOUNTABILITY: Third, all parties must understand the ins and outs of the production process, which includes what needs to happen when and the subsequent implications that can hinder the process. This book will guide advertisers on how to manage and function as a cohesive unit with agency partners during the production process.

Earth's endemic life exists on an active planet, and its physical characteristics shape its development by affecting it in many ways. The planet's magnetic field plays its part in that scenario. In this new book, the author concentrates on this little-understood aspect of terrestrial life's existence. In an all-pervasive way, Earth's natural magnetism imparts a pulse to the life forms that exist on the planet. From the very simplest to the most complex, organisms cannot ignore their natural magnetic environment. A lot of recent research into this phenomenon has been collated and reviewed by the author. In this book, he appraises the evidence from that research in a scientific yet interesting manner.
