I'm a studenf of the author at University of Hong Kong, although he's an American , his book tell me more about HK than anything else ever did. I began to have a fresh look at the things that's been around me for so long. This book is a must read for those Americans who know nothing but to raise the "free Tibet"sign whenever a Chinese official arrive and those who keep saying how Hong Kong will be a ruin after the handover.

I have read it cover to cover a few times. I even had the opportunity to have it autographed by Master Chin. It has a wealth of knowledge on the history leading up to what we see as martial arts today. It covers relegion topics as well as pugilism.

It was meant to spark thought and personal discovery I think. It doesn't tell you every fine point of the Hop Gar style, but it gives a very good description of theory and practical application. Worthy of a place on the venerable book shelf.

I used to for my EIT test. It's a great book preparing me for IE EIT.

I often fantasize about going back in time and attending conference proceedings I've missed. Shelter Island comes to mind, the first Pugwash. Feynman, am I sorry I missed this one. I like this one so damned much that I sacrificed my copy to my junior genius at Bohr in Copenhagen. I am an idiot. That copy had all my notes.

This book studies multiculturalism from a Jewish perspective. With essays coming from the perspectives of sociology, history, sociology, and cultural theory (among others), it provides a wide variety of perspectives. The most important contribution of the book is that it explains how Jews are, in cultural discorse, neither white nor non-white. Jews straddle the line. It provides a balanced analysis of what this means. An important read for anyone interested in diversity and ethnic/racial theory.

This is an amazong book that tells the stories behind some of musics most intriguiging lyrics, that all of us know and love. Gives real insight to the motivation of the bands/writers of the songs. A must if you are a hard-core music fan or the lyrics, not jus hte music itself.
