-Reveals the heretofore unknown identity of this 19th-century Easter Island (Rapa Nui) man, and the secrets hidden in his impressive tattoos -Body art reveals amazing insights into Easter Island history An impressively tattooed but unnamed Easter Island (Rapa Nui) man appears often in the pages of Pacific Island histories and museum catalogs. The Swedish ethnographer Dr. Knut Hjalmar Stolpe knew him only as Tepano, the Tahitian version of the Christian name Stephen. But what was his real Rapanui identity, and what can his life story tell us about the history of Easter Island? This book reveals his identity, who illustrated him, and how he transcended the tragic events of 19th-century Rapa Nui to become one of the most iconic faces of the Polynesian past. The authors summarize the history of tattoo as practiced by Rapanui artisans, link that history to island geography, and present rare barkcloth sculptures as a visual record of tattoo patterns. This title is the first in a new series on Polynesian Arts & Culture by Mana Press, in partnership with Floating World Editions. For a list of future titles, visit: www.FloatingWorldEditions.com.

Bradbury's prose reminds us so wonderfully - and at times violently and humorously - how foolish it is to assume the origins and meanings behind a person's tattoos. Just as with Bradbury's characters, the motivations of the featured collectors and artists to ink (or be inked) vary. What is undeniable is that their illustrated bodies are a source of pride, wonder, titillation, and beauty, whether depicting the grotesque or the mundane. With an introduction by tattoo collector and scholar Anna Felicity Friedman, the result is a book that showcases masters of their craft. Tattoos by Today's Leading Artists, including Paul Booth, Steve Butcher, Ryan Ashley Malarkey, Jessa Bigelow, Yomico Moreno, Andy Pho, TeeJ Poole, Duke Riley, DJ Tambe, Tatu Baby, Carlos Torres, Dmitry Troshin, Jess Yen, Popo Zhang.

In Tattooed Man, retired FBI Agent James Stone uses his unique talents in criminal profiling and tattoo analysis to track down a serial murderer known as "Devil Man". Along the way, the true reason for the murders is uncovered and linked to a Georgian criminal enterprise operating from Tbilisi, Georgia, and which is involved in fomenting an international coup in the former U.S.S.R. . Many colorful characters are encountered along the way, including a stark contrast between FBI Agents and Chicago Police Department (CPD) Detectives. James Whitmer, through his unique perspective of 26 years in federal law enforcement and numerous undercover roles, brings out diverging and fascinating personality traits from all characters involved, including FBI, ATF, CIA, CPD and even the Israeli Mossad.
