Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book combines an overview of the subject of cataloguing with an introduction to common cataloguing procedures. It begins by exploring the genesis of card catalogues as a replacement for earlier methods, such as slips pasted onto cards or handwritten entries. The book traces the evolution of the card catalogue towards systems using mechanical fittings and electric lighting, and then describes the various types of furniture, cards, and mechanisms that make up a modern catalogue. The author then examines the three different types of cards commonly used â" printed, typed, and handwritten â" before addressing the various cataloguing styles, such as anonymous versus author-based, and the application of cataloguing rules for biographical entries, series, and books in various formats. The book concludes with examinations of subject cards, both general and analytical, and the use of references to aid consultation of the catalogue.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Via Media Publishing was founded in 1992 in order to produce the peer reviewed quarterly Journal of Asian Martial Arts (1992-2012)-the first publication of its kind to focus on martial traditions in an academic format. Many of the authors were scholar-practitioners, who utilized their unique talents to present articles from various specializations, such as Asian Studies, kinesiology, history, anthropology, philosophy, and physical education. Those who were serious about this field subscribed to the journal to read articles noted for their high academic and aesthetic standards. Most were in the United States, Canada, and Europe, but also in other areas of the world. These naturally included martial art schools and individual practitioners. There was a strong base among university and public libraries too. As founder of Via Media, I've decided to assemble this anthology of articles relating to taijiquan. There are over three hundred million taiji practitioners worldwide, drawn to the art mainly for health maintenance and it therapeutic value. Researchers can benefit from this handy anthology, particularly for the information and analyses presented, including the rich bibliographic listings. Taiji practitioners will also gain insights to benefit their own practice, be it for health and/or self-defense. Included here are sixty-four articles, the same number of hexagrams in the Book of Changes (Yijing). In addition to 735 illustrations, there are glossaries, maps, charts, and bibliographies. Taijiquan is the term representing the general category of study, but taijiquan can be subdivided into its branches, from the original Chen Family Style to highly popular Yang Family Style. Other lineages are presented, such as the Wu and Sun systems.The variety of material in this anthology reflects in-depth scholarly research and the experience of master practitioners. It will be a valuable source taijiquan enthusiasts for futures decades. By making this book available to individuals and libraries, we hope this rare material will greatly contribute to further research in this field and inspire many to learn taijiquan with aspirations to mastery.
