Beschreibung

In "Taoist Teachings From the Book of Lieh Tzŭ," Lie Yukou delivers an eloquent translation and interpretation of this foundational Taoist text, which is attributed to the philosopher Liezi. This book intricately weaves together parables and philosophical reflections that emphasize spontaneity, the relativity of concepts, and the exploration of the nature of the Dao (the Way). Written in a lyrical style reminiscent of classical Chinese prose, Yukou captures the rich metaphors and profound wisdom of the original teachings, allowing modern readers to appreciate the depth of Taoist philosophy within its historical context. Lie Yukou, a dedicated scholar of Taoist texts, draws from a deep well of both Eastern and Western philosophical traditions. His background in comparative literature and philosophy provides him with a unique lens through which he engages with the timeless wisdom of Liezi. The author's extensive research into ancient Chinese thought and practice enriches this work, making it not only a translation but also a thoughtful commentary on the application of these teachings in contemporary life. This book is recommended for scholars and lay readers alike who are interested in delving into the Taoist worldview. Yukou's insightful interpretations and the accessible style make it an essential addition to any library dedicated to Eastern philosophy, spiritual growth, or the greater quest for understanding the human experience.

    "Truly, this is a book that belongs on the shelves of not just wrestling fans, but anyone who wants to understand the agonized American soul." ―Josephine Riesman, author of Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America 
     
    Professional wrestling is both a cultural phenomenon and a multibillion-dollar industry that has launched some of the biggest names in entertainment. But what does it take for a wrestler to break through? In Rough House, journalist Alison Lyn Miller introduces Hunter James, an aspiring star born into a family of wrestlers in Georgia. Hunter lifts, runs, and pounds protein, sculpting himself into a human action figure with the goal of being signed by a major promotion and finishing what his father started. Miller's immersive, unforgettable account shows us what happens when Hunter enters the bruising world of indie wrestling―where gymnasiums become arenas, trampolines serve as training grounds, and young men fight for glory. 
     
    Rich with drama, humor, and heart, Rough House is a ringside seat to a coming-of-age story that reveals the escapism, self-actualization, performance, and violence inherent in one of America's most dismissed pastimes. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the spectacle, this true story will leave you cheering for more.

    This is a biography lightened with the intimate tone of a social memoir, about a woman who was both a bystander and protagonist through some fifty years of twentieth-century British history. Pamela Berry was the daughter of the buccaneering and brilliant politician and lawyer, FE Smith, the first Earl of Birkenhead, and married the son of another self-made man, William Berry from South Wales, who became Viscount Camrose and the owner of a group of national newspapers, including the Daily Telegraph. She had an unusually glamorous and precocious childhood, spoiled by her adoring father, and much photographed by Cecil Beaton. In her prime she used her position as a newspaper proprietor's wife to become the most famous political and press hostess of her generation, harnessing her beauty and wit to influence successive governments, and was accused of wielding 'petticoat power' during the Suez crisis. She had a decade-long affair with Malcolm Muggeridge, became a vigorous promoter of British fashion, dragging it out of the dowdy fifties, and in later life was active in the museum world.
    
    
    Harriet Cullen has opened a window back into the remarkable story of her mother's life from a rich cache of family diaries and letters, interweaving them with many other unpublished sources. It is revealing, in turns scathing and admiring, but always entertaining.

    The currently unfolding ecological catastrophe is the result of more than just deforestation, fossil fuel extraction, and factory farming. Behind the immediate causes of the degradation of our environment lies something else: a deeply rooted but ultimately absurd understanding of our place in the universe. 
    
    Through a series of encounters with a striking array of protagonists - from revolutionary physicists and embattled philosophers to subsistence hunters and Himalayan shamans - The Soul in the Stone exposes the incoherence of the barren, human-centered perspective dominant in most societies today. It recommends instead an alternative worldview: one that acknowledges and honors non-human experience and, precisely because it does, is both more logically consistent and more fulfilling. And might just save the planet.
