epic portrait of Japan in crisis, it combines graphic military
history and highly readable fiction to depict an aspiring nation

fight so fiercely for its survival should look no further. Clouds
above the Hill is an exciting, human portrait of a modernizing
nation that goes to war and thereby stakes its very existence on a
desperate bid for glory in East Asia.

To survive disruption, organizations need disruptive leaders. So
they hire them. And then they fire them. It’s the open secret
everyone in the leadership industry knows but nobody is addressing:
leadership culture is toxic, and leadership systems have failed.
Publicly, organizations say they want leaders to be innovative
thinkers who challenge the status quo. Privately, conventional
leadership culture wants nothing of the sort. Leaders deemed as
‘a bad culture fit’ quickly find themselves marginalized,
ostracized, and even exorcised. The qualities that get them hired
are the ones that get them fired. Yet, these rebels and
nonconformists often embody the very leadership qualities that
organizations so desperately need to navigate disruption and adapt
to the “new normal” of constant change. Radically refreshing
and practical, this book identifies five leadership qualities
(F.I.R.E.D. Leadership™) that are key to tomorrow’s leadership
success and offers a step-by-step blueprint to show organizations
how to integrate these five crucial qualities into their current
leadership identification, recruitment, onboarding, and development
processes. Leadership renegade Paul McCarthy shows organizations
how to reframe how they view their troublemakers, agitators,
rebels, oddballs and shit-stirrers – to see the hidden leadership
qualities driving those behaviors, and why they need them so
desperately.

What is single-case research? How can single-case methods be used
within sport and exercise? Single-case research is a powerful
method for examining change in outcome variables such as behaviour,
performance and psychological constructs, and for assessing the
efficacy of interventions. It has innumerable uses within the
context of sport and exercise science, such as in the development
of more effective performance techniques for athletes and
sportspeople and in helping us to better understand exercise
behaviours in clinical populations. However, the fundamental
principles and techniques of single-case research have not always
been clearly understood by students and researchers working in
these fields. Single-Case Research Methods in Sport and Exercise
Psychology is the first book to fully explain single-case research
in the context of sport and exercise. Starting with first
principles, the book offers a comprehensive introduction to the
single-case research process, from study design to data analysis
and presentation. Including case studies and examples from across
sport and exercise psychology, the book provides practical guidance
for students and researchers and demonstrates the advantages and
common pitfalls of single-case research for anybody working in
applied or behavioural science in a sport or exercise setting.

The decadent tales in this collection span 45 years in the
extraordinary career of Japan's master storyteller, Tanizaki
Jun'ichiro- (1886-1965), the author of Naomi, A Cat, a Man, and Two
Women, and The Makioka Sisters. Made accessible in English by the
expertise of translators Anthony H. Chambers and Paul McCarthy, the
stories in The Gourmet Club vividly explore an array of human
passions. In "The Children," three mischievous friends play
sadomasochistic games in a mysterious Western-style mansion. The
sybaritic narrator of "The Secret" experiments with cross-dressing
as he savors the delights of duplicity. "The Two Acolytes" evokes
the conflicting attractions of spiritual fulfillment and worldly
pleasure in medieval Kyoto. In the title story, the seductive
tastes, aromas, and textures of outlandish Chinese dishes blend
with those of the seductive hands that proffer them to blindfolded
gourmets. In "Mr. Bluemound," Tanizaki, who wrote for a film studio
in the early 1920s, considers the relationship between a
flesh-and-blood actress and her image fixed on celluloid, which one
memorably degenerate admirer is obsessed with. And, finally,
"Manganese Dioxide Dreams" offers a tantalizing insight into the
author's mind as he weaves together the musings of an old man very
like Tanizaki himself-Chinese and Japanese cuisine, a French murder
movie, Chinese history, and the contents of a toilet bowl. These
beautifully translated stories will intrigue and entertain readers
who are new to Tanizaki, as well as those who have already explored
the bizarre world of his imagination.
The three pieces in this collection-the novella "A Cat, A Man, and
Two Women" and two shorter pieces "The Little Kingdom" and
"Professor Rado"-are lighthearted and entertaining variations on
one of Tanizaki's favorite preoccupations: dominance and submission
in relationships, complicated even further here by customs, public
opinion, and comic grotesqueries. In the title piece, the bumbling
Shozo is caught in the middle of an ongoing struggle between his
ex-wife and her younger successor. Shozo would prefer to stay out
of it and be peacefully left alone with his elegant tortoiseshell
cat Lily, but he keeps getting dragged back into the battles and
arguments. The result is an oddball love triangle centered around
Lily, the only true object of Shozo's affections-"one of the finest
pieces of literature concerning cats ever written" (Choice).
Jun'ichiro Tanizaki is one of the most eminent Japanese writers of
the twentieth century, renowned for his investigations of family
dynamics, eroticism, and cultural identity. Most acclaimed for his
postwar novels such as The Makioka Sisters and The Key, Tanizaki
made his literary debut in 1910. This book presents three powerful
stories of family life from the first decade of Tanizaki's career
that foreshadow the themes the great writer would go on to explore.
"Longing" recounts the fantastic journey of a precocious young boy
through an eerie nighttime landscape. Replete with striking natural
images and uncanny human encounters, it ends with a striking
revelation. "Sorrows of a Heretic" follows a university student and
aspiring novelist who lives in degrading poverty in a Tokyo
tenement. Ambitious and tormented, the young man rebels against his
family against a backdrop of sickness and death. "The Story of an
Unhappy Mother" describes a vivacious but self-centered woman's
drastic transformation after a freak accident involving her son and
daughter-in-law. Written in different genres, the three stories are
united by a focus on mothers and sons and a concern for Japan's
traditional culture in the face of Westernization. The longtime
Tanizaki translators Anthony H. Chambers and Paul McCarthy
masterfully bring these important works to an Anglophone audience.

This publication presents photographs shot during the making of
"Rebel Dabble Babble," a collaboration between Paul McCarthy and
his son Damon McCarthy. "Rebel Dabble Babble" is an installation
and video projection work inspired by both Nicholas Ray's 1955
classic Hollywood film "Rebel without a Cause" and the rumors
attending the off-set relationships between its director and his
stars James Dean, Nathalie Wood and Sal Mineo. This densely layered
opus expands beyond its references to the 1955 movie to offer a
meditation on the archetypes and Oedipal tensions that define
family dynamics. In the film, McCarthy and his actors (including
Hollywood star James Franco) play hybrids both of Ray's cinematic
characters and the actors who played them. With this mind-bending
series of doubles, binaries and inversions, "Rebel Dabble Babble"
presents perversions of interchangeable roles and fetish
relationships.

Oh, Tama! describes the haphazard lives of Natsuyuki Kanemitsu and
his loosely connected circle of dysfunctional acquaintances and
family. Natsuyuki is prevailed upon by his friend Alexandre, an
occasional porn-film actor, to adopt the very pregnant cat Tama,
who gives birth and remains throughout the novel as a silent
observer of her human hosts. Further complications arise
surrounding the mystery of who the father of Alexandre's sister
Tsuneko's unborn child is, with Tsuneko (a bar owner) happy to
collect money from anyone who may be responsible. One of these
possible dads turns out to be Natsuyuki's half-brother, abandoned
and forgotten long ago as easily as Tama has parted with her
kittens. A "fast and comedic novel," Oh, Tama! plays out against a
backdrop of cramped apartments and cheap food and drink where
everyone seems to have an opinion on film, photography, and
fashionable French art theory. It is part of the author's esteemed
series of "Mejiro" novels, named after the northwest area of Tokyo
that so richly informs their urbanity and outlook.
