Me, Chi and Bruce Lee
Lifelong wimp Brian Preston spends a year immersed in the world of martial arts. But can this ancient knowledge turn a pencil-necked pacifist into a Kung Fu killer? Committed conflict-avoider and "spineless wuss" Brian Preston sets out on a personal odyssey through the global phenomenon of martial arts. Along the way he traces its history from its birthplace in the Shaolin Temple where Zen Buddhist principles were the order of the day to Bruce Lee, whose singular talent and "no-style" style brought Kung Fu to a worldwide audience, to the joint-ripping submission locks of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the theatrics of the Ultimate Fighting Championship in Las Vegas. Embracing the challenges of self-transformation, Preston gives himself up to broken ribs and the submission pins of middle-aged women, all in an effort to gain the enlightenment and fearlessness of the ancient masters. But the real meat of his story is in reflective detours on such subjects as the nature of violence, fatherhood, the Tao, and modern China, sprinkled with humorous and surprising insights into the modern male psyche.

An Environmental Court in Action
This book provides a critical assessment of the New South Wales Land and Environmental Court (NSWLEC). Effective adjudication has become a key consideration for environmental lawyers. One of the most important questions is whether environmental law frameworks need their own courts, with the conclusion being: yes they do. Here, a pioneer of such a court, the NSWLEC is forensically examined to see what it might teach other such courts. Showing a court 'in action' it suggests models that practitioners and policy makers might follow. It also speaks to the environmental law scholars, setting out a conceptual framework for studying such courts as legal institutions. This multi-faceted collection is invaluable to scholars and practitioners alike.

Me, Chi, and Bruce Lee
What happens when a self-styled wuss sets out to earn a black belt? Why have Eastern martial arts become so popular worldwide? Is the Ultimate Fighting Championship a beautiful fusion of East-meets-West martial technique, or shameless commercialization? These questions and more find answers in Me, Chi, and Bruce Lee, a rollicking journey through the world of modern martial arts. Author Brian Preston’s trek takes him from a kung fu school in his hometown of Victoria, Canada, to the storied Shaolin Temple in China, back to Canada to meet Brazilian Jujitsu legend Royce Gracie, and on to Vegas and the thrills of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Along the way, Preston discovers a vast array of martial arts practices, theories, and controversies—when he’s not too busy getting a beat-down from a 60-year-old woman. Sprinkled with reflective detours into serious subjects like the nature of violence and the state of modern China, Me, Chi, and Bruce Lee expertly blends a lively travelogue, a droll riff on the “innocent abroad” theme, and an informative introduction to global martial arts.
