E-book Deconstructing Martial Arts

First things first. What are martial arts? What do we mean when we say ‘martial arts’? These two questions can be regarded as either very similar to each other or very different.

E-book Foundations of Music Theory : Fundamental Concepts in The Language of …

In it’s broadest possible sense, music is defined as “organized sound.” This openended and safe definition is coherent regardless of era, style, culture, or the mechanics of musical organization.

E-book Fashion, History, Museums : Inventing the Display of Dress

Inadvertent controls would certainly have di…
