Sinopse

In this Tang Classic text from the 9th Century, Daoist practitioner Shi Jianwu describes how through adapting our own breathing to the breath of the universe and daily meditation, one can develop an astral body and 'transcend earthly matters to walk in the divine'. Richard Bertschinger offers the first annotated English language translation of this text with practical guidance for Qigong, meditative practice and personal development. With elements of Daoist tradition and drawing on Mayahana Buddhist influences, this ancient guide aims to bring to the fore perceptions and focus on a natural form of breathing for pure meditation. Much of this Chinese practice has been misunderstood and lost over the years, until now. Richard's thoughtful translation and additional comments serve to distribute Shi Jianwu's original message with open interpretations for the individual reader.

    “Incomparable insight into an early colonial legal system thoroughly influenced by Biblical interpretations . . . sure to appeal.” —Harvard Law Review In the mid-seventeenth century, judges in the short-lived New Haven Colony presided over a remarkable series of trials ranging from murder and bestiality, to drunken sailors, frisky couples, faulty shoes, and shipwrecks. The cases were reported in an unusually vivid manner, allowing readers to witness the twists and turns of fortune as the participants battled with life and liberty at stake. When the records were eventually published in the 1850s, they were both difficult to read and heavily edited to delete sexual matters. Rendered here in modernized English and with insightful commentary by eminent judge Jon C. Blue, the New Haven trials allow readers to immerse themselves in the exciting legal battles of America’s earliest days.The Case of the Piglet’s Paternity assembles thirty-three of the most significant and intriguing trials of the period. As a book that examines a distinctive judicial system from a modern legal perspective, it is sure to be of interest to readers in law and legal history. For less litigious readers, Blue offers a worm’s-eye view of the full spectrum of early colonial society—political leaders and religious dissidents, farmhands and apprentices, women and children.“An engaging and intelligent microhistory of this time period and colony that nonlegal scholars can understand” —Journal of American Culture

    The excitement in learning has always been a key element of human evolution. However, the development of technology and the busy life we are committed to reduce the chances of learning and improving our skills. 
Nowadays, we're so focused on following the crowd that we don't know we need to get off the Hamster Wheel. We know we need to do something, but we're so bombarded with knowledge from all over the place that we tend to close our eyes and just keep running on the wheel. 
Many people don't think the only way to get away from it is affordable. We believe that the only way is to quit everything, go back to study as hard as possible, and then get the information we need to be productive in their lives. This is too much to speak about. "I can't give up on my career. I can't find the time to better myself. The only true thing is that they don't want it. We don't want to improve their lives because we lack the will to transform their lives.
