The fourth book in Chris Scullion’s critically acclaimed series of video game encyclopedias, The N64 Encyclopedia is dedicated to the Nintendo 64, one of the most well-loved games consoles ever released. Although the Nintendo 64 didn’t sell as well as some of Nintendo’s other systems, and it struggled in the shadow of the bold newcomer that was the Sony PlayStation, nearly everyone who owned an N64 was in love with it and the four-player multiplayer it provided as standard. Despite its relatively small library, the Nintendo 64 had a healthy number of groundbreaking titles that would revolutionize the way we play video games. The likes of Super Mario 64, GoldenEye 007, Mario Kart 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remain iconic in the eyes of video game fans over 25 years down the line. This book naturally contains those games, but it also contains every other game released for the system, no matter how obscure. It also covers every game released in Japan, including those for the ill-fated Nintendo 64DD add-on which never left the country. With over 400 games covered, screenshots for every title and a light-hearted writing style designed to make reading it a fun experience, The N64 Encyclopedia is the definitive guide to a revolutionary gaming system.

Hajime! is the introduction to Superstar Judo’s guide to Throwing for Ippon. This should be read before any of the other books in the series. Author Danny Hicks, Fighting Films partner, gives a brief summary of Ippon – judo’s maximum score. He describes how the various qualities of the Ippon help make judo such a unique sport and the close working collaborations Fighting Films have developed alongside numerous Olympic and world champions. It’s these collaborations that have, over three decades, produced Fighting Films’ premium judo coaching videos. Originally released on VHS and DVD, these videos now form the basis to FF’s online coaching site – Superstar Judo. With tuition from more than 20 of judo’s greatest fighters, Superstar Judo has become the most innovative and specialised of all judo coaching video resources. Now, for the first time, all of the champions come together, as the story of every major competitive scoring throw is showcased. Throwing for Ippon contains 21 unique books, including 19 throws. Each book includes tuition from these champions, with beautiful photographic sequences to help illustrate the key technical points. The books start with traditional variations of the throw, before alternative methods of gripping, entry and execution are explored. As the books progress, so does the complexity of the throw. By the end of each book, throwing combinations are included as well as some extremely unusual variations. This guide is an essential for all judoka. Whether you just want to learn the basics of a throw or be inspired by numerous different techniques from the world’s best, Throwing for Ippon reveals the throws that are proven to work at the very highest level.

How are the structures of power and the notion of agency among Syrian women during the recent Syrian conflict connected? To explore this matter, Rand El Zein investigates gender politics around displacement, conflict, the body, and the nation. In doing so, she outstandingly reconciles critical media theory as myriad and productive with the theoretical concepts on subjectivity, power, performativity, neoliberalism, and humanitarian governance. The book examines how the Arab television news discursively represented the experiences of Syrian women during the conflict in relation to the four main concepts: violence, vulnerability, resilience, and resistance.
