"The Moon Over the Mountain is a collection of nine short stories by the Japanese author Atsushi Nakajima. Something of a cult figure in Japan, where fans hold an annual festival in his honor, Nakajima is considered a master of a sub-genre of Japanese fictional works that take Ancient China as their subject, with stories based on folk tales, legends, and historical figures..Nakajima's stories first appeared in Japanese periodicals in 1942 and 1943, promising a potentially rich and long career, given his extensive knowledge and skills. He died tragically of pneumonia complicated by severe asthma after returning to Japan from the island of Palau in 1942. In masterful translations by Paul McCarthy and Nobuko Ochner, these are the first of his works to appear in English. "--Publisher.

"Working from a pioneering fusion of sculpture and conceptually based performance, Paul McCarthy is one of the most influential, yet least recognized artists in the U.S. today. While his architectural installations incorporating video and performance artifacts have received critical and curatorial attention during the present decade, few viewers are familiar with his artistic evolution, or with the impact his work has had on two generations of Los Angeles artists. This publication, covering about 400 works from all areas of his activity, gives an exemplary insight into McCarthy's works from the early 1970s up to the present day. Experts on his work give comprehensive descriptions and analyses of the American artist's performances and installations, examine the unique ties between his works and cinema, and explore the dialogue between New York and Los Angeles, particularly in the formulation and development of conceptual art."--Publisher's description

Central Symmetrical Rotation Movement : Three Installations, Two Films

The book is a reflection of the Authors childhood experiences. The Bunyip was reported to have been sighted around the Countryside of NSW but to this date has always evaded capture. No one actually refutes the creatures' existence, but no one has managed to actually capture it on film. The story is one of Social integration, both of the Aboriginal Boy and that of an Irish Immigrant family. The Chinese Man and his daughter add a touch of humour with his struggle to master the English language and his resolve to find a place in a society of scoundrels and Bullies. The book gives hope to the downtrodden and those afflicted with many of societies problems.It is a story of hope and reconciliation.

What is single-case research? How can single-case methods be used within sport and exercise? Single-case research is a powerful method for examining change in outcome variables such as behaviour, performance and psychological constructs, and for assessing the efficacy of interventions. It has innumerable uses within the context of sport and exercise science, such as in the development of more effective performance techniques for athletes and sportspeople and in helping us to better understand exercise behaviours in clinical populations. However, the fundamental principles and techniques of single-case research have not always been clearly understood by students and researchers working in these fields. Single-Case Research Methods in Sport and Exercise Psychology is the first book to fully explain single-case research in the context of sport and exercise. Starting with first principles, the book offers a comprehensive introduction to the single-case research process, from study design to data analysis and presentation. Including case studies and examples from across sport and exercise psychology, the book provides practical guidance for students and researchers and demonstrates the advantages and common pitfalls of single-case research for anybody working in applied or behavioural science in a sport or exercise setting.

Sad funny and at times absolutely shocking. A true story of sex drugs and rock'n roll with a good measure of criminal gangs and illegal parties, from drug dealing to drug trafficking, betrayal and deceit all washed down with a punishing prison sentence. Radiohead's lawyers did their best to keep this story contained; they failed. (A quote from a devoted Radiohead fan) "There are no winners in this story, what they did to this guy is disgusting, Radiohead are my life, I wish I had never read it, I will never be the same again."
