Biographical Dictionary of Republican China

By: Howard L. Boorman

The summation of more than two thousand years of one of the world's most august literary traditions, this volume also represents the achievements of four hundred years of Western scholarship on China. The selections include poetry, drama, fiction, songs, biographies, and works of early Chinese philosophy and history rendered in English by the most renowned translators of classical Chinese literature: Arthur Waley, Ezra Pound, David Hawkes, James Legge, Burton Watson, Stephen Owen, Cyril Birch, A. C. Graham, Witter Bynner, Kenneth Rexroth, and others. Arranged chronologically and by genre, each chapter is introduced by definitive quotes and brief introductions chosen from classic Western sinological treatises. Beginning with discussions of the origins of the Chinese writing system and selections from the earliest "genre" of Chinese literature -- the Oracle Bone inscriptions -- the book then proceeds with selections from: • early myths and legends; • the earliest anthology of Chinese poetry, the Book of Songs; • early narrative and philosophy, including the I Ching, Tao-te Ching, and the Analects of Confucius; • rhapsodies, historical writings, magical biographies, ballads, poetry, and miscellaneous prose from the Han and Six Dynasties period; • the court poetry of the Southern Dynasties; • the finest gems of Tang poetry; and • lyrics, stories, and tales of the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties eras. Special highlights include individual chapters covering each of the luminaries of Tang poetry: Wang Wei, Li Bo, Du Fu, and Bo Juyi; early literary criticism; women poets from the first to the tenth century C.E.; and the poetry of Zen and the Tao. Bibliographies, explanatory notes, copious illustrations, a chronology of major dynasties, and two-way romanization tables coordinating the Wade-Giles and pinyin transliteration systems provide helpful tools to aid students, teachers, and general readers in exploring this rich tradition of world literature.

Creation: Fact or Fiction - You Decide

By: Howard Mishne

Finally! Heres a book about Creation that you dont have to be a rocket scientist or Bible scholar to understand. For most people, complex biblical and scientific studies of our origin are boring. They make your head spin by the end of the first few pages. Thats not what this book is going to be like for you. This book is for us typical people. When you talk with believers of Creation, some will tell you to just read the Bible. Others say This can only be Gods work or What else could it be? Or they try to poke holes in the well-known theories. Creation is not a theory; its a belief. You either believe it or you dont. So how do you believe in something that nobody can prove? In his first book, Howard Mishne combines interesting and cool facts with basic science to methodically tie it all together. From the universe down to the very unique aspects of our life on earth, he lays out an easy-to-understand perspective in ways you havent thought about before. Instead of trying to answer the questions, Howard lets you decide by looking at our existence in a different way.
