The Skean
This is the history of the distinctive fighting knife of the Gaelic Irish, the skean (Irish: scian). Author Robert Gresh has scoured primary sources for references to the weapon in use and traveled to examine the known surviving examples. The skean fell into disuse in the 18th century without being well documented, and surviving examples are often out of sight in reserve collections, private collections, or small local museums. Today, the skean is sought after by reenactors and collectors, but before now, there has not been any definitive work on the subject. This study is intended to aid collectors and curators in the identification of original artifacts, while also assisting fabricators in the creation of replica pieces. Also included is information on manufacturing and fighting techniques.

The Wisdom of Bruce Lee (Kung-Fu Monthly Archive Series) Mono Edition
Bruce Lee was a man of startling contradictions. His creation of Jeet Kune Do - his own personal expression of the martial arts - firmly established him as a master. This book is an analysis and an appreciation of the man who truly became a legend in his own time; a warrior whose every thought, word, and action was aimed toward a more perfect combination of philosophy and the art of fighting. Here is all that is known of the innermost secrets of the incomparable combatant, Bruce Lee; a man who dared to transcend the ancient disciplines and shape them into his own image. The Wisdom of Bruce Lee was one of the first books to present Bruce Lee's philosophy on life and the martial arts.Written by Roger Hutchinson and Felix Dennis in 1976, The Wisdom of Bruce Lee was never published in the UK, despite a direct marketing strategy in the famous Kung-Fu Monthly poster magazine.As part of the Kung-Fu Monthly Archive Series, The Wisdom of Bruce Lee is published for the first time in the UK with a history of the book and an exclusive interview with the original author, Roger Hutchinson.

The Origins of the Exhibition Space (1450-1750)
Before the first purpose-designed exhibition spaces and painting exhibitions emerged, showing art was mainly related to the habit of dressing up spaces for political commemorations, religious festivals, and marketing strategies. Palaces, cloisters, fa癟ades, squares, and shops became temporary and privileged venues for art display, where sociability was performed, and the idea of exhibition developed. What were those places and events? What aesthetic, cultural, social and political discourses intersected with the early idea of exhibition space? How did displaying art shape a new vocabulary within these events, and conversely, how have these occasions conditioned exhibiting practices? This book traces the origins of the exhibition space by studying its visual and written imagery in the early modern period. It reconsiders events and habits that contributed to shaping the imagery of the exhibition space, and to defining exhibition-making practices, exploring micro-histories and long-term changes.Table of Contents, Acknowledgments, 1. INTRODUCTION, 1.1 Reasons for a Research, 1.2 Topics, Frames and Methodology, 2. Main Topics, 2.1 The Topoi of the Exhibition Space, 2.2 From the Act of Showing to the Idea of Exhibiting, 2.3 Depicting the Exhibitions, 2.4 Early Exhibition Design Precepts and Treatises, 3.

Italian Botteghe and Northern Panden, 4.6 Alternative Exhibition Spaces: Eighteen-century Paris, 5. Conclusion, 5.1 The psychology of the display, Bibliography, List of Illustrations, Index.1.The originality of the subject: No research until now has ever devoted a volume to the origins of the exhibition space in the early modern era. 2.Interdisciplinary approach: The study makes use of a wide range of contextual and theoretical resources and combines art history with the history of exhibitions, collections and architecture, placing the research in the social and cultural context of the time. Such an approach portrays a complex framework and demonstrates how the issue of the exhibition space is not simply attributable to a problem of contexts, but to a multiple and polyphonic research field which contributes to highlighting its scientific interest. 3.Contemporary methodology: While focusing on the early modern period, my research takes advantage of a contemporary methodology of analysis and a vocabulary that not only takes the book away from the typical volume of art history but sets the question within a current problem instead, such as that of the exhibiting, making places of art theoretical means for analysis and understanding of art history.

The Alastair Leslie Collection Volume Two
This book catalogues (with extensive photography) more pieces from The Alastair Leslie Collection. The first volume of the Leslie collection covered porcelain produced at West Pans in Scotland during the third quarter of the 18th century. Volume two moves on to cover Scottish folk art as represented as much as possible by Scottish east-coast pottery mugs and jugs produced prior to 1840. George Haggarty has been extremely cautious with his attributions, but it is clear that the majority of the mugs and many of the jugs have strong east coast connection especially with the Fife and Perthshire areas. Many recorded the betrothal, marriage or birth of individuals and are often decorated with the tools of their trade. While there are no mugs with factory marks, the book highlights the similarity of painted flowers, style and inscriptions which can enable the identification of groups that came from different factories and even individual artists.
The Secret Art of Bruce Lee (Kung-Fu Monthly Archive Series 2022 Re-Issue) Mono
Originally released in 1976 by Kung-Fu Monthly, The Secret Art of Bruce Lee represented a milestone in the history of the martial arts. At the time of its publication, it was almost the sole surviving photographic record of Bruce Lee's martial arts, Jeet Kune Do, as demonstrated by Lee himself. After lying forgotten for more than a decade, the never-before-published photographs in this book were probably the finest illustration of his art that Bruce Lee left to us. To his countless fans and to the serious student their discovery is an exciting event. The accompanying text chronicles the development of Lee's art from its dog-eat-dog origins on the streets of Hong Kong to the perfection of techniques which only he really ever mastered. In addition, extended captions clarify sequential photographs, following through Lee's speciality kata, kicks, punches and weapon use. This action packed and important book is a unique, exclusive insight into the reality which lay behind Lee's reputation as the greatest martial artist of our time. For the first time in over forty years, The Secret Art of Bruce Lee has been re-released by Pit Wheel Press as part of the Kung-Fu Monthly Archive Series, in co-operation with Dennis Publishing. This edition has replaced ISBN 978-1-915414-07-6 which was discontinued due to dishonest and unreliable third party printers.
