Having been out of touch with martial art media, what good books on Japanese martial arts have come out in the last year, both here and in Japan?

Okay, I'll do a shameless plug for "Martial Arts in the Modern World," ed. by Thomas A. Green and Joseph R. Svinth. $39.95, hardback only, available through Amazon.com, B&N, etc.

Also check Mark Hewitt's "Catch Wrestling," as it documents assorted jujutsu v. wrestling matches in the USA ca. 1905-1910. Also available from Amazon.com and B&N.
