  Transformations in China -...

  Transformations in China explores the sweeping cultural, political, and economic changes that have reshaped China from ancient times to the modern era. This 3-in-1 volume covers pivotal periods in Chinese history, focusing on three major forces of transformation: Modernization and Reform, The Cultural Revolution, and The Silk Road. From the ancient trade routes that connected China to the rest of the world, to the turbulent policies of the 20th century, this book captures the resilience and complexity of a civilization in constant evolution. 
  The journey begins with the Silk Road, which served as the lifeblood of commerce and cultural exchange for centuries. More than a trade route, it was a corridor for sharing religions, inventions, languages, and ideas between East and West. The narrative then moves to the 20th century, examining The Cultural Revolution, a period of radical upheaval that profoundly altered Chinese society. Spearheaded by Mao Zedong, this political campaign reshaped education, tradition, and family life, leaving a lasting mark on Chinese identity. 
  Finally, the book explores Modernization and Reform, spotlighting China’s transition from a closed, agrarian state to a global economic superpower. Beginning with Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in the late 20th century, this section details the rapid industrialization, urbanization, and globalization that have defined modern China. Transformations in China presents a sweeping yet accessible account of how a nation has continuously redefined itself—often through conflict, always through change.

  Sun & Ssukgat - The Korean Art...

  A charming, life-changing guide to living a longer, happier, healthier life, rooted in Korean self-care. From the country scientists predict will top longevity charts in 2030. 
  Ssukgat, or Chrysanthemum greens, are treasured in Korean culture for their healing abilities. You can coax its withered stalks to bloom again, with sun, water, soil, and care. It’s a fitting metaphor for eco-entrepreneur and CEO Michelle Jungmin Bang, who found herself in excruciating pain due to the constant sacrificing of her health and wellness for work—a trade many of us make daily. 
  Thus started her fascinating journey to overhaul her health and reconnect with her heritage in South Korea. She found answers in the mountains with Buddhist nuns and the keys to microbiome health, a seaside village with haenyeo (female free divers who forage for seafood) and their practice of healing with breath, centenarians with easily adoptable daily habits, and Korean bathhouse culture and its “wellness for everyone” approach to youthful skin. Natural, effective, and environmentally conscious, these ancient traditions have been passed down for centuries in Asia, like gifted heirlooms, and they quietly and radically shift our philosophies on well-being towards preventative care. 
  Informed by her travels, research, and East-West nutrition training, Michelle reflects on how we can eat for healing, live sustainably, reconnect with nature, form deeper relationships with the Korean concept of Jeong (the warm, invisible connection between loved ones and places), and more. Also included are simple and delicious healing recipes that can be used for recovery, like a mushroom broth the Buddhist nuns turn to for colds; her grandmother’s secret Myeolchi (anchovy) broth; Samgyetang (chicken and ginseng soup) for combatting fatigue; as well as Hoedeopbap (raw fish bibimbap), her most-requested dish that requires no cooking. 
  Sun & Ssukgat is on a mission to empower anyone stuck in the unhealthy whirlwind of modern life to transform our well-being in the little things we do every single day. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  A bicycling and travel audio-book like no other. It offers an entertaining and inspirational listen for all audiences. It tells the story of a 66-year-old grandfather who has never ridden a bicycle for more than a few miles at a time and sets out to ride a bicycle from one coast of the United States to the other. He does this ride by himself with no one along for company and no one following along when things go wrong. It recounts the dangers, trials, tribulations, fatigue, and despondency he endures. It also sings with the joy and exuberance only an exciting adventure can bring forth. 
  While the audio-book is a travel log of captivating sites and wonderful people from the Pacific to the Atlantic, it is so much more. It touches on stories of many women and men (both African, Native and European American) and the challenges they faced which helped shape the country he crosses. As such, it is a bit of a story about America. It also includes a few of the author’s own life challenges which help in understanding what got him into and through this ride.
