1989 marked the start of the Heisei era in Japan. It also marked a new direction in tokusatsu films beginning with Godzilla vs. Biollante and Gunhed. This tome covers all the Japanese giant monster movies produced from 1989 up to 2019's Godzilla: King of the Monsters. This book covers a broad range of titles, from well known fare such as Gamera, Guardian of the Universe (1995), Rebirth of Mothra (1996), and Monster X Strikes Back (2008) to independent kaiju movies Reigo, King of the Sea Monsters (2008) and Attack of the Giant Teacher (2019). In addition to giant monsters, this book also covers all of Tsuburaya Productions Heisei era Ultraman films from from Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman Dyna (1998) all the way up to Ultraman R/B The Movie (2019).
Описание: From the 1950s onwards, far eastern filmmakers from Japan, China, and Korea-but mostly Japan-cranked out a bevy of dai kaiju ("giant strange beast") movies. This guidebook covers not only all the Godzilla and Gamera movies produced during Japan`s Showa Era (1954-1989), but other Asian monsters as well.

Описание:
I've always been fascinated by North Korea and always knew that if I had the opportunity to visit some day, I'd be all over it. Little did I know that many years later, I'd be standing at my hotel window in the border town of Dandong, China, staring at the darkness that laid across the Yalu River. I was a stone throw away from the most mysterious and unpredictable country on the planet: North Korea.
"They have hockey in North Korea?" many asked.
They sure do.
The North Koreans have a saying: "The first time you visit North Korea, you are a stranger. The second time, you are a friend. The third time, you're family." Little did I think that two weeks after setting foot in the DPRK for the first time, I'd be returning home leaving behind a group of hockey players, men and women, that I already considered as friends, people that I dearly care for, people that I've shed tears over.
Here are some of my stories about spending time with local Koreans, the real people, the forgotten ones. This is about the North Korea no one talks about and its resilient, humble, shy and down to earth athletes who love and play the same game as you and me, but in some of the most difficult conditions imaginable. This is about a group of young men and women who deserve your compassion because just like you and I, they have friends, families and want to live their lives to the fullest. Just like you and I, they have dreams, goals, and are always looking to improve their lives. But unlike us, the entire world seems against them.
They furiously play a game that is so pure and raw at the same time, without any foreign influence. They play a game that fascinates me, a game that makes me want to do more. With barely any knowledge of the modern game, what the North Koreans lack in knowledge and abilities, they try to make up with discipline and heart.
This is about the North Korea you never knew existed, and about its people who make you appreciate your way of life so much more than you ever have.
It's true, no one walks from the DPRK unchanged.

Описание:
Pioneer life was tough. If your stagecoach wasn't getting held up by outlaws, chances are you were suffering from dysentery along the Oregon Trail. If you weren't toughing it through a drought, you might be enduring a hard flood. And, if the wolves and the mountain lions didn't get your livestock, chances are the Sabretooth Tigers and Sarkastodons would. Wait, did you just say Sabretooth Tigers and Sarkastodons...as in prehistoric megafauna?
That's right, remnant dinosaurs weren't the only cryptids that supposedly made it into the Nineteenth Century. Along with the surviving saurians came giant prehistoric armadillos, mastodons, cave bears, and a bevy of other prehistoric monsters. Pioneer newspapers were rife with reports of livestock being killed by mysterious, brutal beasts that defied description, and some of the creatures were simply too big to be anything living at that time and instead seemed like holdovers from the last Ice Age.
In the pages ahead you'll ask yourself: Did a Wild West showman named "Idaho Bill" really capture a saber-toothed tiger in Mexico and bring it to Washington, D.C.? What was the creature that people described as a cross between a dinosaur and a prairie dog in Nemaha County, Nebraska? Does Bear Lake, Utah, harbor a giant prehistoric beaver? Did the Duke of Westminster really hunt for a Ceratosaurus in the Arctic Circle? And finally, is there a real "land that time forgot" hidden within the caldera of an extinct volcano in the North Pole?
