For hundreds of thousands of years, Stone Age lithics & the artefacts that the ancestors created with them were their survival, but the same stones also provided a means of artistic expression. Far, far longer than the Age of Metals has been with us, stone was the force to be reckoned with. Hard sarsen sandstone, granite, obsidian glass & flint were but some of the natural rock materials used for hunting, slicing meat, preparing skins & for everyday chores. These visceral stones, microliths & megaliths alike, provided the cold, hard facts of physical, temporal existence for the ancestors, yet the very same rocks, on an even broader scale, were sourced & modified to express their moods, feelings, loves & heart-felt beliefs, for time immemorial.Long ignored for far too long, Stone Age rock art needs to be recognised for its cultural & aesthetic value, to help remove the stigma of the Stone Age as being inhabited by club-wielding brutes without wit or fantasy. Our ancestors were artists who expressed themselves through the medium of stone. They used expressionism, cubism, art nouveau & art deco, long before it was reinvented & they used all these artforms & more to express their beliefs in a universal deity represented by reverence toward the mammoth & the giant forest elephant. While outlining Stone Age Rock art as a whole, this work delves into the lives, loves & fantasies of our forebears, lighting up the night sky in the world of mysteries as they interpreted the heavens.
Explosively direct: Always one to stand his ground for technical reality and historical fact, this work reflects the quality and sheer scale of information in the author's previous works. Poignant questions are asked, debates are raised and down-to-earth, enlightening answers are given. Much of what is considered to be tradition by many a karate-ka is shown to be not necessarily the case. If you think the closed-fist punch is standard fair, read the facts. If you have been taught that karate is an ancient Japanese art founded on violence, reconsider the fiction. If you think karate training is for self-development, absorb the wisdom. If you seek the truth about zen, enjoy the magic. Packed with until now undisclosed information, this book leads the way for the mature karate-ka to discover those hidden treasures that lie beneath the surface. Fifty years of training will give any teacher insights and Mark D Bishop has more than most to offer. Read, absorb, be enriched & uncover your true self, through karate
