Tae Kwon Do for Women focuses on helping women emphasize their strengths and improve their weaknesses in martial arts practice. Some of the challenges that women in the martial arts face are not relevant to men, and many of the inherent skills that women have (speed, agility) are often overlooked in traditional how-to books. Tae Kwon Do for Women is intended to correct that problem. Beginner, intermediate and advanced practitioners will all find helpful information. The book covers principles, techniques and drills for the Tae Kwon Do practitioner, written with women specifically in mind. The book includes more than 400 photographs and a complete resource directory.

Training Women in the Martial Arts: A Special Journey

(Training Women in the Martial Arts is for male and female...)

Training Women in the Martial Arts is for male and female martial arts instructors, female martial arts students, and supporters of women in the martial arts. The book is designed to help people involved in the martial arts understand the challenges women face when training and help them create and provide appropriate martial arts and self defense instruction. The obstacles female students face, both in and out of the training hall often go unrecognized. By educating themselves, students become better prepared to overcome these hurdles. Instructors can offer more appropriate and effective instructions- thereby retaining students and helping women achieve their martial arts goals. There is no direct competition, since this is the only book that directly targets training women in the martial arts. Most how-to martial arts books are written primarily with men in mind and women's experiences differ dramatically from men's.

Songs of Life: The Meaning of Country Music

The publishing world has exuberantly hailed the widespread popularity of country music in the last five years with a significant number of books on the subject. Lawler, a literature scholar with a specialty in Old English poetry who also happens to be a country music fan, offers an unusual twist. Her aim is to explore what country music means to its listeners and to show that country music is a distinct literature that merits serious study. A unique feature of Lawler's work is the analysis of famous songs. She points to topics like love, living, women's issues, and political and social issues to prove her thesis that country music indeed reflects the basic joys and struggles of living. In addition, she profiles various country music stars and their different lifestyles to demonstrate their influences on the lasting popularity of country music. In her conclusion, Lawler acknowledges that her book is just a beginning, but she nevertheless offers a succinct look at country music as she discusses its history, marketing, audience, and surrounding influences.
