    Soft cover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. English text; Paperback; 22 x 28 cm; 4.1 Kg; 640 pages with colour illustrations throughout.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior, namely edge wear and a few scratches and wear marks on the front cover, spine and back cover. Minor bumps on the top of the front cover and back cover. Minor wear marks on the first 15 pages at top, probably due to the bump on the front cover. Remaining interior in very good condition.; Catalogue from the exhibition New Songs on Ancient Tunes: 19th-20th Century Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy from the Richard Fabian Collection, organized by the Honolulu Academy of Arts and presented at the museum from August 30 to October 28, 2007.; This catalogue introduces Chinese painting and calligraphy from a revolutionary period in recent history-the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This period encompasses the fall of the Qing (Ch'ing) dynasty, the establishment of the Republic of China under Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek, and the founding of the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-tung). Chinese art of these two centuries witnessed a remarkable series of transformations, seen here through the prism of the Richard Fabian Collection, an extraordinary group of over two hundred works, many published here for the first time. Painting and calligraphy are easily the most sophisticated of all Chinese art forms. New Songs on Ancient Tunes focuses on the recent history of these two art forms from several vantage points: the significance of regional centers of artistic production, the impact of political and economic upheaval, the special relationship between painting and calligraphy extending back to antiquity, and the human stories of artists and patrons that bring these remarkable works to life. New Songs on Ancient Tunes explores a broad range of subjects, providing the contemporary viewer with a vehicle to better grasp the larger story of China's classical calligraphy and painting traditions as well as basic aspects of Chinese culture and identity. Conservative tendencies in late Qing painting, the concurrent fascination with archaeology and epigraphy that provoked a revolution in calligraphic theory and practice, the Shanghai School, the so-called Epigraphic School or Movement in northern and southern China, the Lingnan School of Canton, and the experiences of Chinese artists in Europe and Japan in the late Qing and early Republic periods are only a few of this new study's key focal points.…

    Hardback. Condición: New. Between the mid-seventeenth and mid-eighteenth century more than 15,000 Londoners suffered sudden violent deaths. In the early modern period, accidental and 'disorderly' deaths - from drowning, falls, stabbing, shooting, fires, explosions, suffocation, and animals and vehicles, among others - were a regular feature of urban life.Between the mid-seventeenth and mid-eighteenth centuries more than 15,000 Londoners suffered sudden violent deaths. While this figure includes around 3,000 who were murdered or committed suicide, the vast majority of fatalities resulted from accidents. In the early modern period, accidental and 'disorderly' deaths - from drowning, falls, stabbing, shooting, fires, explosions, suffocation, animals and vehicles, among other causes - were a regular feature ofurban life and left a significant mark in the archival records of the period. This book provides the first substantive critical study of the early modern accident, revealing and chronicling the lives - and deaths - of hundreds of otherwise unknown Londoners. Drawing on the weekly London Bills of Mortality, parish burial registers, newspapers and other related documents, it examines accidents and other forms of violent death in the city with a view tounderstanding who among its residents encountered such events, how the bureaucracy recorded and elaborated their circumstances and why they did so, and what practical responses might follow. Through a systematic review of the character of accidents, medical and social interventions, and changing attitudes toward the regulation of hazards across the metropolis, it establishes the historical significance of the accident and shows how, as the eighteenth century progressed, providential explanations gave way to a more rational viewpoint that saw certain accident events as threats to be managed rather than misfortunes to be explained. Additionally, the book explores how knowledge of such incidents was transformed to become a recurring cultural trope in oral, textual and visual narratives of metropolitan life, thereby opening a window to the way in which sudden death and violent injury was understood by early modern mentalities.
