> ...which is most unusual because it isn’t a book about hill people, but a book by a hill person. These are rare. Formal education isn’t highly valued in hill people cultures, and giving away information about your tribe is practically taboo. Rory Miller is unusual because most people who do applied violence ("corrections") don't also have the temperament to theorise about it, or if they do, little inclination to thereupon write it down. > She gains the courage of the fatalist Compare Epictetus, or even "Pluggers"? EDIT: for that matter, Cassandra in particular, and the trojan women in general > no comparative analysis of the Mongols and the Comanches I did run across one of these a while back: a blog post, not a book, but still an analytic comparison nonetheless. EDIT2: thinking of my locals: our origin stories are as a hill people (armor doesn't work well when it can't manoeuvre, in the XIII as in chechnya) but somehow we've picked up a hefty memeplex of conflict resolution skills on the way to the present?
