If you’ve ever wanted to know how Dim Mak could possibly work through a western medical perspective, then “Death Touch: The Science Behind The Legend Of Dim-Mak”
by Dr. Michael Kelly, is probably the most in depth source written on this subject. Michael Kelly, an Osteopath, attempts to explain how Dim Mak could work based upon his knowledge of western medicine, as well as the anatomy and physiology of the body. The majority of what Kelly presents is a theoretical framework based upon his study and education in the medical sciences. The explanations Kelly provides, in an attempt to try to connect physiology with Dim Mak points of attack on the body, have not been researched or proven and would be in need of future study. At times, some of Kelly’s ideas can be very interesting, but often Kelly’s writing will go into unnecessarily lengthy explanations of basic, foundational neuroanatomy and physiology. In these moments the text will become very dry reading, similar to an anatomy textbook, except without any illustrations, pictures, or diagrams. Overall, if a detailed western medical description of how Dim Mak could work is something you are interested in then I would add this book to your library.

Superman made his first appearance in Action Comics issue one. Although he is commonly interpreted as simply a product influenced by the great depression, originating as a champion of justice and social equality you will be surprised to learn this character did not begin as the clean cut, law abiding hero most people interpret him as. Superman started as a dark character, one that was above the law, one that would take any matters necessary into his own hands in order to accomplish his objective. A careful examination of the second page found in Action Comic Issue one will in fact reveal Superman’s true origins of sex and violence. As we continue to examine this page you will quickly learn the overall message underlying this character: no obstacle, no barrier, and no person can stop Superman. Superman is in fact power.

Much has been written about two of famed director Akira Kurosawa’s epic Samurai films Yojimbo & Sanjuro, from the look, sounds, the music, and so forth. But precious little has been done about these films and the era that they take place in.
Most of Kurosawa’s films, including but not limited to the Seven Samurai
What’s interesting about both Yojimbo and Sanjuro is they take place in 1860, more than 200 years later during the late Tokugawa Shogunate Period.
