  "The Spring and Autumn & Warring States Periods, PART TWO" takes you deep into one of the most extraordinary periods in Chinese history, where legendary figures clashed and kingdoms rose or fell by the stroke of a pen or the swing of a sword. Discover the bold reforms of Shang Yang, the artful diplomacy of Su Qin, and the cunning strategies of Zhang Yi. Their brilliance shaped the destinies of states like Qin and Wei, while Sun Bin and Pang Juan's tactical genius inspired generations of military thinkers. Gui Gu Zi, the enigmatic master of strategy, and Lü Buwei, the ambitious merchant-turned-statesman, add intrigue to a world driven by power and opportunity. 
  This book also brings the kings of the era vividly to life. Meet King Wu Ling of Zhao, who revolutionized his military with nomadic tactics; King Hui Wen of Qin, who laid the foundations of an empire; and King Zhao Xiang of Qin, whose leadership propelled Qin toward dominance. The narrative culminates with King Zheng of Qin, better known as Qin Shi Huang, the unifier who swept through the six warring states to forge the first Chinese empire. Alongside these rulers, Lü Buwei's audacious rise and influence serve as a testament to how individuals could shape the fate of nations. 
  Through gripping storytelling, this book explores alliances, betrayals, and the extraordinary vision that redefined the course of history. Packed with tales of reformers, tacticians, and warrior kings.

  This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No.136 by Tan Acharn Kor Khao-suan-luang (Upāsikā Kee Ñāṇayon), 'A Good Dose of Dhamma: For Meditators WhenThey Are Ill' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V. Translated from the Thai by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. 
   
  Excerpt from Chapter 1 
  "Normally, illness is something we all have, but the type of illness where you can still do your work isn’t recognised as illness. It is called the normal human state all over the world. Yet really, when the body is in its normal state, it is still ill in and of itself. People in general are simply unaware of the fact that there is the deterioration of physical and mental phenomena, continually, from moment to moment. 
  The way people get carried away with their thoughts and preoccupations while they’re still strong enough to do this and do that: that’s really complacency. They’re no match at all for people lying in bed ill.People lying in bed ill are lucky because they have the opportunity to do nothing but contemplate stress and pain. Their minds don’t take up anything else, don’t go anywhere else. They can contemplate pain at all times—and let go of pain at all times as well."

  Heal the Beasts - A Jaunt...

  How and why did humans begin to treat sick and injured animals? And how did those practices, and the associated attitudes, evolve from prehistory to the present day? 
   
   
   
  To answer these questions, Dr. Schott shares stories of twenty-two different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, examining the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed by these people and their colleagues. But at the heart of the tale lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear. 
   
   
   
  James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth-century Manhattan. Along the way, we see every kind of person trying to heal every kind of creature. 
   
   
   
  Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.
