Book Synopsis The Rites of Autumn by : Dan O'Brien
Download or read book The Rites of Autumn written by Dan O'Brien and published by Lyons Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The highly acclaimed true story of a falconer and falcon and of the bonds among humans, animals, and the natural world. In 1986 Dan O'Brien spent the summer in the Rocky Mountains releasing young peregrine falcons on the cliffs. When one of his release sites was raided by a golden eagle, he managed to save a peregrine chick and decided to make an improbable two-thousand-mile trip with her from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico, following the avian autumnal migration. His retention was to teach the bird to hunt as a wild falcon would, in the hopes of releasing her into the natural world. Along the way he was forced to confront the chasm that gulfs wildness and domesticity -- and the difficulty in finding an even tenuous balance between them. "The Rites of Autumn" is the account of this incredible journey. It is also a beautifully written portrait of the American West, and has gained a worldwide reputation as a powerful, important book of natural history.
Download or read book Autumn Light written by Pico Iyer and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “exquisite personal blend of philosophy and engagement, inner quiet and worldly life" (Los Angeles Times), an acclaimed author returns to his longtime home in Japan after his father-in-law’s sudden death and picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday rites, reminding us to take nothing for granted. In a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honoring the dead, Pico Iyer comes to reflect on changelessness in ways that anyone can relate to: parents age, children scatter, and Iyer and his wife turn to whatever can sustain them as everything falls away. As the maple leaves begin to turn and the heat begins to soften, Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before, where the transparent and the mysterious are held in a delicate balance.

Here, modern Taoist adept Eva Wong is your guide to living well according to the wisdom of this ancient system. Drawing from ancient Taoist texts, she explains in simple terms the Taoist masters’ approach to the four aspects of life, asking readers to reflect on the balance of their own lives and demonstrating how that balance is the secret infusing your life with health, harmony, and deep satisfaction.

Book Synopsis The History of Chinese Feudal Society by : Tung-tsu Chu
Download or read book The History of Chinese Feudal Society written by Tung-tsu Chu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feudalism is one of the most studied topics in the field of history, but without a consensus on its central characteristics, it remains a slippery concept. The History of Chinese Feudal Society provides a comprehensive analysis on the rise and fall of feudalism in China. Drawing on a vast library of archival materials, it is the first study to investigate feudalism in China from the perspective of sociology and to compare feudalism in China to feudalism in the West. The author proposes that landownership and the relationship between landowners and farmers are the two determining factors of feudalism, with the Yin Dynasty marking a transitional stage to feudalism and the Zhou Dynasty witnessing the establishment of feudalism as a political system and central institution. This book was written by one of the best-known Chinese historians and has been a classic best-seller for decades. Students and scholars of Chinese history, especially Chinese feudalism, will find it to be an essential reference in their study and research.
