One Last Thing: A Time Travellers Guide to the History of Martial Arts Philosophy

The story so far...

Renowned International Journalist Gerald Greene is about to retire - when he is persuaded to do One Last Thing - travel back in time to interview the greatest writers and fighters:

• Bruce Lee talks about his nunchaku obsession with Carl Jung
• Alan Watts lectures The Priests from the Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Series
• Rocky talks aggression with Marshal McLuhan
• Lao Tzu discusses productivity and wifi issues in the 5th Century BC
• David Carradine challenges Bruce Lee (on the phone)
• Mas Oyama talks Animal Rights
• Krishnamurti discusses hair with Colt
• Mr Han-Man talks about his concerns with the poster of Enter the Dragon

Things however, don't always go to plan, as transcripts become jumbled, webcam footage is mashed-up and words inevitably find their way into other people mouths.

"Impudent, cheeky, saucy, and beautifully –wonderfully –insanely irreverent! I love this book for all the reasons I love rock-n-roll, American muscle-cars, and 1970's Shaw Brothers martial arts flicks. Reading this book, you'll be stained by its wisdom!

Anthony Guilbert, author of 'Notes From The Drift'

NOTE: You will receive 3 files: An ePub of the book and a PDF version of the book, plus a PDF version of the associated "Images" ebook. 

"...Paul Read... has to be the most down-to-earth Tai Chi teacher on the planet. I guess being down to earth is good in Tai Chi, if you want to get the moves in. This offering is full of imagined dialogues with a rather stunning cast of characters. I can imagine it as a radio series on the World Service or Radio 4. If they had their wits about them they would pick it up."
