First published in 2005, this catalogue has become the standard reference work for cast Chinese coins. It covers both the early spade and knife coins that were used from around 600 BC and the square holed cash coins that were the coinage of China from the 4th century BC until the end of the Empire in the 20th century. Special attention is given to the red copper coins of Xinjiang. As well as the catalogue, there is copious background information concerning the use and manufacture of these coins, and numerous charts, maps, and tables to help both the expert and the novice to identify their coins.
The second edition has been extensively edited, and contains some new coins and sections.

After 25 years of training and teaching I've unfortunately witnessed a lot of poor Wing Chun. So, with a lot of frustration and a passion for this art I've created a Wing Chun bible if you like. I've removed the unnecessary ineffective techniques that have been added over the years and replaced it with what I believe it should be. Wing Chun should look effortless and simple yet be ruthless and devastating.

Poplarly spelt today as Ervin, Erwin, Irvin, Irvine, Irving, Irwin and Urwin, this surname was used by early Scottish kings (allegedly), the armour-bearer of Robert the Bruce, the author of Rip van Winkle and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, one of the first two men to attempt to summit Mount Everest, and the eighth man on the moon. The name has been given to towns, rivers and mountains in Scotland, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia and Antarctica, and even an asteroid. Tradition claims that all those born with the surname and descended from a single ancestor, but DNA tests show that today there are over 40 unrelated branches of the surname.
This is the first book to be published that makes a comprehensive record of the traditions, homesteads, heraldry, DNA, early records, chiefs and tartans associated with the surname, and to analyse its origins, spelling, pronunciations and principal migrations. The genealogies of the main branches of the name are refined and updated, including radical re-appraisals of the early Barons of Drum ad Lairds of Bonshaw. The book includes mini-biographies of the principal genealogists who have researched these branches, together with extensive lists of distinguished bearers of the surname, Irwin placenames, armorials, and transcripts and lists of early contemporary references.

The narcissist slayer. Eight victims of narcissistic abuse arrive on the beautiful island of Malta to attend a workshop run by Bev Baker. They are traumatised and desperate. Bev is their last hope. She is the narcissist slayer. During the workshop they enter the dark and twisted mind of the narcissist to uncover what makes them tick and why they are determined to destroy lives.

Drytvaarte as a world was mostly very down-to-earth, but this book explores its rare and magical side through mythic fables that shaped the course of lore and the lives of many.

Eleanor McLeod is a teacher, performer, LAMDA examiner and Festival adjudicator. Her last collections of Scenes for Young Performers to Enjoy have been shared in enthusiastic performances across the world.
One reviewer said: 'Her understanding of writing material that will appeal to young players is evident. Her creations are well defined but offer the performer scope for individual interpretation. Drama teachers looking for scenes that will stimulate the students will be rewarded by some exciting new material.'
So, following on from that comes some more 'exciting new material' - scenes based on nursery rhyme characters, often given an amusing and modern twist, so here is Incy Wincy Spider as a frustrated weather reporter, Old King Cole wanting to enter a talent contest and Little Bo-Peep putting an advert in a Lost and Found column, along with many more. They are certain to be enjoyed once again.

Inscriptions can vary between simply the name of the gambling house to extracts from classical Chinese poetry.
This catalogue illustrates, in colour, about 1800 of these tokens, with a full translation and explanation of their inscriptions and iconography.
