Two volumes on a topic I will probably not have time to deal with until retirement:

” The Shaolin Monastery: History, Religion, and the Chinese Martial Arts
“:http://0-www.uhpress.hawaii.edu.pugwash.lib.warwick.ac.uk/cart/shopcore/?db_name=uhpress&page=shop/flypage&product_id=5309&category_id=b3e6237d1b1b3b8594488ed1c40d0dfb&PHPSESSID=815beb845cfdf2ead27aaeca2280fb46
By Meir Shahar

and, on the lighter side

“American Shaolin”:http://www.mattpolly.com/polly-books.htm
