An illustrated Aikido Safari, this book collects more than fifty "animals" you can frequently meet at Aikido seminars. We all have met most of these characters, and been some of them ourselves - on and off the tatami. Keenly observed and lovingly drawn, these funny pictures can be enjoyed by Aikidoka as well as people who have never heard of Aikido before. Which one is your Aikido Animal?

A suspense thriller about a murderer targeting perpetrators of animal cruelty who is pursued internationally by a team of criminal investigators. Do the most noble of intentions justify the most horrific acts? Two grisly murders are committed at a meatpacking plant by a person wearing a cow mask . . . not long after the CEO of a water park is brutally killed by someone wearing an orca mask. Interpol Agent An Chang believes these are the latest acts of a ruthless serial killer he has been chasing for more than twenty years . . . a killer who targets those who harm innocent animals. Elephant poachers in Chad, Russian big-game hunters of endangered species, dog fighters in Atlanta, European food execs who gorge ducks to make paté, gorilla hunters in the Congo, ivory merchants in China. Those who torture animals are not safe . . . Working with two California detectives, Chang races to unmask the killer, as his spree ramps up. But the killer's motives and history are far deeper than anyone realizes, and the truth of his rampage leads to a wild chase from the streets of Shanghai to around the globe . . . Who is the real animal? “A cinematic, fast-paced ride!” —Raymond Benson, author of the bestselling James Bond novels “Animal is a brilliant and ferocious thriller. A tale of hideous inhumanity and very rough justice. Highly recommended!” —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times–bestselling author of Rage “It will grab hold of you and not let go . . . it will anger you and it will live uneasily in your mind for a long time.” —David Fisher, New York Times–bestselling author of Lincoln’s Last Trial
