Bushcraft La mejor guía Bushcraft. 101 técnicas para sobrevivir en zona salvaje como un experto
by The BlokeheadEn una competencia por la supervivencia entre el hombre más fuerte y el intelectual más listo, gana el que mejor se adapta al cambio de los dos. La fuerza y el CI pueden influir en los resultados generales de la práctica de Bushcraft, pero no son los requisitos primordiales para el éxito. Si el hombre está dispuesto a aventurarse dentro del bosque y sacar provecho de cualquier cosa que encuentre, leer a la naturaleza en lugar de manipularla, entonces su travesía ha de ser un triunfo. La diferencia entre Supervivencia y Bushcraft A pesar de sus semejanzas, Supervivencia y Bushcraft son dos géneros distintos. La confusión suele surgir de sus características coincidentes, las cuales implican maneras de sobrevivir en la naturaleza. La principal diferencia entre las dos es la cantidad de tiempo que se permanece en zona aislada. La supervivencia en tierra salvaje utiliza tácticas de supervivencia a corto plazo donde el principal objetivo es escapar del bosque lo más rápido posible (los sobrevivientes suelen tardar un promedio de 72 horas en escapar). El Bushcraft, por otro lado, implica una inmersión completa en el entorno natural; es una estancia de largo plazo.

Anche solo per un po’, si dovrebbero assaporare l'indipendenza e la possibilità di vivere alla giornata e di utilizzare le forze della natura a proprio vantaggio. La presente serie "2 in 1" rivela i segreti della sopravvivenza con le tecniche del bushcraft a principianti ed esperti: 101 tecniche da scoprire adesso
Bushcraft: 7 Trucchi di Bushcraft per Principianti
by The BlokeheadQuando l’uomo lascia l’ambiente cittadino, dipendente dalle nuove tecnologie, ed inizia un viaggio nella natura selvaggia, gli istinti primordiali entrano in gioco. Il bushcraft, cioè un’insieme di abilità usate per muoversi e sopravvivere nella natura selvaggia, comprende i metodi primitivi di raccolta di cibo e acqua. Primitivi nel senso che non ci si serve di dispositivi meccanici o equipaggiamento digitale per farlo; bisogna svolgere tutti i compiti da zero e costruire tutto senza basi di partenza. I contenuti di questo libro (e in pratica l’essenza del bushcraft) sono basati sulla parola chiave “sopravvivere.” Questo è l’obbiettivo principale di ogni escursionista ed è anche la fine riuscita del viaggio. Per sopravvivere, dovete tenere a mente i seguenti punti.

Bushido (Graphic Novel): The Soul of the Samurai
by Inazo NitobeThis graphic novel adaptation of the cult-classic text, Bushido, brings the timeless secrets of the samurai to life for modern-day readers First published in the early twentieth century, Bushido was the first book to introduce Westerners to the samurai ethos.

Bushido: The Soul of Japan
by Inazo NitobeA century ago, when Japan was transforming itself from an isolated feudal society into a modern nation, a Japanese educator queried about the ethos of his people composed this seminal work, which with his numerous other writings in English made him the best, known Japanese writer in the West during his lifetime.He found in Bushido, the Way of the Warrior, the sources of the virtues most admired by his people: rectitude, courage, benevolence, politeness, sincerity, honor, loyalty and self-control. His approach to his task was eclectic and far-reaching. On the one hand, he delved into the indigenous traditions, into Buddhism, Shintoism, Confucianism and the moral guidelines handed down over hundreds of years by Japan's samurai and sages. On the other hand, he sought similarities and contrasts by citing not only Western philosophers and statesmen, but also the shapers of European and American thought and civilization going back to the Romans, the Greeks and Biblical times.This book is a classic to which generations of scholars and laymen alike have long referred for insights into the character of the Japanese people. And all of its many readers in the past have been amply rewarded, as will be all those who turn to its pages in the next and future decades.
Bushido: The Spirit of the Samurai

These virtues comprise the essence of Japanese cultural beliefs, which are still present today.Inazo Nitobe, one of Japan's most respected scholars, explores the ethical code of the samurai and contextualizes it within Japan's traditions of Buddhism, Shintoism, and Confucianism. He then compares and contrasts Eastern values with those present in Western societies. Written in English and first published in 1905, this classic introduction to Japan's samurai culture has been a best-seller for decades. Focus on Asian Studies says it is "a must for an understanding of the soul of Japan."
Bushville Wins!: The Wild Saga of the 1957 Milwaukee Braves and the Screwballs, Sluggers, and Beer Swiggers Who Canned the New York Yankees and Changed Baseball
by John KlimaThe rip-roaring story of baseball's most unlikely champions, featuring interviews with Henry Aaron, Bob Uecker and other members of the Milwaukee Braves, Bushville Wins! takes you to a time and place baseball and the Heartland will never forget."Bushville hits the sweet spot of my childhood, the year my family moved to Wisconsin and the Braves won the World Series against the Yankees, a team my Brooklyn-raised dad taught us to hate. Thanks to John Klima for bringing it all back to life with such vivid detail and energetic writing." -- David Maraniss, New York Times bestselling author of Clemente and When Pride Still MatteredIn the early 1950s, the New York Yankees were the biggest bullies on the block. They were invincible: they led the New York City baseball dynasty, which for eight consecutive years held an iron grip on the World Series championship. Then the Boston Braves moved to Milwaukee in 1953, becoming surprise revolutionaries. Led by visionary owner Lou Perini, the Braves formed a powerful relationship with the Miller Brewing Company and foreshadowed the Dodgers and Giants moving west, sparking continental expansion and the ballpark boom. But the rest of the country wasn't sold. Why would a major league team move to a minor league town? In big cities like New York, Milwaukee was thought to be a podunk train station stop-off where the fans were always drunk and wouldn't know a baseball from a beer. They called Milwaukee Bushville.The Braves were no bushers! Eddie Mathews was a handsome home run hitter with a rugged edge. Warren Spahn was the craftiest pitcher in the business. Lew Burdette was a sharky spitball artist. Taken together, the Braves reveled in the High Life and made Milwaukee famous, while Wisconsin fans showed the rest of the country how to crack a cold one and throw a tailgate party. And in 1954, a solemn and skinny slugger came from Mobile to Milwaukee. Henry Aaron began his march to history. With a cast of screwballs, sluggers and beer swiggers, the Braves proved the guys at the corner bar could do the impossible - topple Casey Stengel's New York baseball dynasty in a World Series for the ages.

But Now I See: My Journey from Blindness to Olympic Gold
by Steve Eubanks Steven HolcombOne of the top bobsledders in the world and leader of the four-man American team, Steven Holcomb had finished sixth in the 2006 Olympics and medaled in nearly every competition he entered. He was considered a strong gold contender for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. Talented, aggressive, and fearless, he was at the top of his game. But Steven Holcomb had a dangerous secret. Steven Holcomb was going blind. In the prime of his athletic career, he was diagnosed with keratoconus—a degenerative disease affecting 1 in 1,000 and leaving 1 in 4 totally blind without a cornea transplant. In the world of competitive sports, it was a dream killer. Not a sport for the timid, bobsledding speeds approach 100 miles per hour through a series of hairpin turns. Serious injuries—even deaths—can result. But Holcomb kept his secret from his coach, sled mates, and the public for months and continued to drive the legendary sled The Night Train. When he finally told his coach, Holcomb was led to a revolutionary treatment, later named the Holcomb C3-R. With his sight restored to 20/20, Holcomb became the first American in 50 years to win the International Bobsled and Skeleton Federation World Championship, and the first American bobsledder since 1948 to win the Olympic gold medal. With a foreword by Geoff Bodine, NASCAR champion and founder of the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project, But Now I See is the intimate portrait of a man's pursuit of a dream, laced with humility and the faith to find a way when all seems hopeless. It's about knowing anything is possible and the gift of a second chance.
