Master the Main Meridians of PowerThe remarkable martial art technique of dim-mak, frequently misrepresented and misunderstood as the "touch of death," or "death-point striking," is actually the strategic and focused use of force to cause pain or lethal damage to an aggressor. Master Erle Montaigue and Wally Simpson's The Encyclopedia of Dim-Mak: The Main Meridians is the most comprehensive, informative, and authoritative resource on the subject. Montaigue, one of the world's foremost experts on dim-mak techniques, and Simpson, a renowned Australian acupuncturist, together possess an unparalleled knowledge of this ancient Chinese martial art. They map the precise locations of every major strike point on the body, referencing the twelve main energy meridians: gallbladder, liver, bladder, kidney, stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, lungs, colon, triple heater, and pericardium, and go on to catalog the effects of hitting each point during combat or self-defense. The authors also explore combinations of strikes and describe action potentials, angles, set-up points, antidotes, and warnings. Knock-out and deadly points are fully explained, providing skilled practitioners with the knowledge to effectively use strikes in real-world situations. Since the very same points that can be used to cause damage can also be used to heal, Montaigue and Simpson describe what the healing applications of each point are, particularly when used for acupuncture. Detailed photos and illustrations accompany the text, clearly depicting the locations of specific pressure points along the meridians. Complete with glossaries and a bibliography, this vital reference book is essential for the library of any serious martial arts practitioner or those interested in acupuncture and traditional Eastern medicine. This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a hardcover (ISBN 1648373542).

Learn From Charlotte Mason's Essential Guide for Homeschooling ChildrenWhen pioneering British educator Charlotte M. Mason (1842-1923) wrote Home Education: Training and Educating Children Under Nine in 1886, the need for such a practical guide for families was paramount. At the time, such holistic homeschooling methods were largely undocumented and parents benefited greatly from the sharing of Mason's knowledge. The book is just as relevant and popular today, as parents and teachers alike continue to employ the Charlotte Mason (CM) method of home schooling for their own children.As one of the earliest leading advocates of parents educating their children at home, Mason was well ahead of her time, particularly in emphasizing that children should be allowed to learn at their own pace and that the role of parents should be to offer generous amounts of encouragement and support in addition to lessons. She also believed in using "Living Books" (high-quality narrative literature that brings subjects alive, offering intellectually stimulating ideas as well as facts), the teaching of positive personal habits, exposure to the arts, journaling, and guided exploration of and immersion in nature. Mason's method provides proven strategies for establishing comfortable home environments that are conducive to successful learning. She regarded education at home as "an atmosphere, a discipline, a life." Home Education collects six in-depth and informative lectures on preliminary considerations, outdoor life, establishing habits, morals, lessons, and conscience. Parents will find this classic book an invaluable resource and will reference it for years to come.

Use Ancient Symbolism to Heal Common IllnessesWhat does your Sun Sign tell you about your health? In The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation, George Washington Carey and Inez Eudora Perry reveal the ancient wisdom of holistic medicine and medical astrology to demonstrate how your astrological sign can be used to heal common illnesses. In the early-twentieth century, Carey, an American physician, and Perry, a noted astrologer, adapted the teachings of Dr. Wilhelm H. Schuessler, an influential figure in the German homeopathy movement. Carey and Perry combined Schuessler's teachings with religion, astrology, and the physical sciences to form a theory of a mineral-based model of human disease, which they present in The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation. Part One offers a summary of the twelve signs of the zodiac, and how they correspond to the vibrations of the twelve mineral salts, demonstrating how to use them to heal from nearly any disease. Part Two details each mineral salt and its uses, and follows the link between the Sun Signs and the basics of homeopathy. It explains how the Sun Signs correspond to Biblical symbolism, using texts from the Kabbalah, Freemasonry, and eastern and western philosophy. The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation teaches the basic homeopathic principles of using nature to improve health, including how to develop one's own astrological-based homeopathic first-aid kit. Readers give The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation overwhelmingly positive reviews. As one online reviewer noted, "This book is the holy grail of all healing modalities."This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a paperback (ISBN 1635618894).

Experience Life Among the World's Northernmost PeopleThroughout history, few cultures have seemed more mysterious than the native hunter-gatherer societies of the far north. These nomadic people often thrived in unforgiving conditions on frozen, treeless terrain above the Arctic Circle, where mere survival was an everyday challenge. Known among themselves simply as the People, the Inuit men and women that Europeans called "Eskimos" existed for centuries in harmony with the unforgiving natural world around them; when times were good they prospered on natural bounties, and when times were bad they overcame the bleakest of conditions just to make it through. Prior to their contact with many other Europeans in the early twentieth century, Danish explorer Peter Freuchen befriended and lived among the Inuit in Greenland. He studied their language and ways of life firsthand, eventually marrying and having children with an Inuit woman there. Since they were a people with no written language, Freuchen's captivating observations offered the rest of the world some of the earliest eyewitness accounts of "Eskimo" lifestyle. Before his account was published, Western writers often romanticized the life of the Inuit; where others pictured a near-mythological life of hardship in an inhospitable landscape of icy bleakness, Freuchen revealed the tapestry of a rich and storied culture set in a world of raw beauty. Examining pre-westernized Inuit societies in Greenland, northern Canada, and Alaska, Freuchen's Book of the Eskimos is a rare and uniquely personal portrait of the indigenous people of the Arctic. Brimming with fascinating information, color, humor, and warmth, this classic chronicle of the everyday lives and customs of these resourceful communities and families offers a completely engaging immersion into a foreign land and an excellent introduction to the tenacious people living at the top of the world. This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a hardcover (ISBN 1648372708).
