Perfected Scripture of the Great Cavern Supernatant Clarity - Shàng Qīng Dà Dòng Zhēn Jīng 上清大洞真經Referred to as "Realized Scripture on the Great Grotto of the School of Highest Clarity" in "The Way of Highest Clarity: Nature, Vision and Revelation in Medieval Daoism" by James Miller, I heard about this scripture in a footnote in a paper that repeated a legend from the scripture, that if it is recited 10,000 times, the petitioner achieves salvation. Having translated other Daoist and Buddhist scriptures that are chanted and repeated daily, also about salvation, I had learned that the radically different perspective of immortality is what these scriptures provide, the daily repetition useful to counteract the world's predominating perspective of limitation, the finite, distress, and mortality. The concepts and imagery in this primary scripture of Shang Qing Daoism are similar to and build upon the concepts and imagery of Ling Bao Daoism that I had spent several years immersed in, so translating this scripture seemed like a natural extension of what I'd been doing previously. Endlessly beautiful and peaceful, it's a transformative text meant to develop the mental, physical, and spiritual health of the practitioner, a pointer into the sky, toward the sun and the moon as talismans beckoning the reader to emerge from the netherworld of the human mind into the surrounding Jade universe, as a flower, unsubmerged, to join with the spirits and ascend to blossom into the "highest clarity", the "cinnabar heights" beyond the top of the universe, allowing the "sun-and-moon bright purple Qi" to fill the body and develop it into perfection.The primary scripture of Shang Qing Daoism, The Great Cave Classic was banned during Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and later banned again in the Yuan Dynasty. The classic, which belongs to the first volume of the Book of Shangqing, is said to be the most important one in the Book of Shangqing.

Elegant. Unpretentious. Approachable. . . . He is, all in all, quite an endearing Nobelist.Michael Dirda, Washington Post Modiano is a pure original.Adam Thirlwell, The Guardian A fine introduction to Modianos later work.The Economist These novellas have a mood. They cast a spell.Dwight Garner, New York Times In this essential trilogy of novellas by the winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature, French author Patrick Modiano reaches back in time, opening the corridors of memory and exploring the mysteries to be encountered there. Each novella in the volume--Afterimage, Suspended Sentences, and Flowers of Ruinrepresents a sterling example of the authors originality and appeal, while Mark Polizzottis superb English-language translations capture not only Modianos distinctive narrative voice but also the matchless grace and spare beauty of his prose. Although originally published separately, Modianos three novellas form a single, compelling whole, haunted by the same gauzy sense of place and characters. Modiano draws on his own experiences, blended with the real or invented stories of others, to present a dreamlike autobiography that is also the biography of a place. Orphaned children, mysterious parents, forgotten friends, enigmatic strangerseach appears in this three-part love song to a Paris that no longer exists. Shadowed by the dark period of the Nazi Occupation, these novellas reveal Modianos fascination with the lost, obscure, or mysterious: a young persons confusion over adult behavior; the repercussions of a chance encounter; the search for a missing father; the aftershock of a fatal affair. To read Modianos trilogy is to enter his world of uncertainties and the almost accidental way in which people find their fates. <br><br> Autorid: Patrick Modiano, Mark Polizzotti <br>

A vegan personal chef and popular blogger offers 100 soul food and Southern cooking plant-based recipes including Coconut Collard Salad, Peach-Date BBQ Jackfruit Sliders, Jalapeno Hush Puppies and Sweet Potato-Cinnamon Rolls. Original. Jenné Claiborne grew up in Atlanta eating classic Soul Food--fluffy biscuits, smoky sausage, Nana's sweet potato pie--but thought she'd have to give all that up when she went vegan. As a chef, she instead spent years tweaking and experimenting to infuse plant-based, life-giving, glow-worthy foods with the flavor and depth that feeds the soul. The result? Her first cookbook, SWEET POTATO SOUL, offering 100 vegan recipes that riff on Southern cooking in surprising and delicious ways, beautifully illustrated with full-color photography. Jenné revives the long tradition of using fresh, local ingredients creatively in dishes like Coconut Collard Salad and Fried Cauliflower Chicken. She improvises new flavors in Peach Date BBQ Jackfruit Sliders and Sweet Potato-Tahini Cookies. She celebrates the plant-based roots of the cuisine in Bootylicious Gumbo and savory-sweet Georgia Watermelon & Peach Salad. And she updates classics with Jalapeño Hush Puppies, and her favorite, Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls. Along the way, Jenné explores the narratives surrounding iconic and beloved soul food recipes, as well as their innate nutritional benefits--you've heard that dandelion, mustard, and turnip greens, okra, and black eyed peas are nutrition superstars, but here's how to make them super tasty, too. From decadent pound cakes and ginger-kissed fruit cobblers to smokey collard greens, amazing crabcakes and the most comforting sweet potato pie you'll ever taste, these better-than-the-original takes on crave-worthy dishes are good for your health, heart, and soul. <br><br> Autorid: Jenne Claiborne <br>

Unpack the powerful visual symbols artists have used throughout history. From a single flower to a carefully placed skull, works of art across history are filled with symbols that carry powerful meanings. The Symbols of Art reveals how artists use these symbols to communicate ideas without relying on words. Why is there a lily in that religious painting? Why does a still life include an hourglass, a mirror or a piece of fruit? In some cases, these symbols would have been immediately understood by contemporary viewers but now need decoding for a modern audience. In other instances, symbolism is more deliberately elusive, inviting viewers to look closer and think deeper. This richly illustrated visual reference includes: Over 100 key symbols drawn from art history Symbols from the natural world, the manmade world, the supernatural, and colours and shapes Famous artworks used as case studies to show symbolism in context How meanings change across cultures, movements and centuries An easy-to-navigate, fully indexed structure designed for quick consultation as well as browsing Bringing together examples from across periods, cultures and artistic movements, art historian Susie Hodge explains how symbolic meanings can shift depending on time, place and intention, revealing layers of interpretation that radically deepen our understanding of artworks. Clearly organised and expertly written, The Symbols of Art is both an authoritative reference and an inviting guide for curious readers. Whether youre visiting a gallery, studying art history or simply want to see artworks with fresh eyes, this book gives you the tools to decode visual meaning and experience art more deeply. <br><br> Autorid: Susie Hodge <br>

A fantasy set in the ninth century, Takaokas Travels recounts the adventures of a Japanese prince-turned-monk on a pilgrimage to India.

On the high seas, their ship is boarded by ghostly pirates and driven back by supernatural winds, and still they push on. At every turn, Prince Takaoka is drawn to the beauty around him, whether it takes the form of a perfectly shaped pearl or a giant blood-red flower, but such beauty proves to be extremely dangerous. Seductive and mysterious, offering high adventure yet deeply human, this is a novel that transcends all expectations.

Much like our own family, plant families share characteristics, often in the arrangement of their flowers, leaves, and stems. In this oversized book, acclaimed botanical artist Wendy Hollender depicts twenty-four plant families most commonly encountered in the garden and in the wild. Her superb full-page illustrations, featuring subjects rendered from life in color pencil and watercolor, help us visualize the sometimes surprising connections between different plants--for example, between the zinnia, the dandelion, and romaine lettuce, all members of the sunflower family, Asteraceae. For each family, Hollender's lively writings aided by additional illustrations highlight the similarities between family members, and describe her adventures in collecting the subjects (from her backyard garden to the Hawaiian wilderness). Guest essays from a variety of distinguished contributors--including Marta McDowell, the best-selling garden writer; Susan Pell, executive director of the US Botanic Garden; and Dina Falconi, the well-known clinical herbalist--lend fascinating perspectives on the featured plant families.The Album of Plant Families will be the ultimate gift for all gardeners, foragers, and nature lovers.

This unique collaboration between a musicologist and two pianists – all experts in Russian music – takes a fresh look at the supercharged music and polarizing reception of the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. From his Chopin-inspired miniatures to his genre-bending symphonies and avant-garde late works, Scriabin left a unique mark on music history. Scriabin’s death centennial in 2015 brought wider exposure and renewed attention to this pioneering composer. Music lovers who are curious about Scriabin have been torn between specialized academic studies and popular sources that glamorize his interests and activities, often at the expense of historical accuracy. This book bridges the divide between these two branches of literature, and brings a modern perspective to his music and legacy. Drawing on archival materials, primary sources in Russian, and recently published books and articles, Part One details the reception and performance history of Scriabin’s solo piano and orchestral music. High quality recordings are recommended for each piece. Part Two explores four topics in Scriabin’s reception: the myths generated by Scriabin’s biographers, his claims to synaesthesia or "color-hearing,” his revival in 1960s America as a proto-Flower Child, and the charges of anti-Russianness leveled against his music. Part Three investigates stylistic context and performance practice in the piano music, and considers the domains of sound, rhythm, and harmony. It offers interpretive strategies for deciphering Scriabin’s challenging scores at the keyboard.Students, scholars, and music enthusiasts will benefit from the historical insights offered in this interdisciplinary book. Armed with this knowledge, readers will be able to better appreciate the stylistic innovations and colorful imagination of this extraordinary composer.

Featuring superb and rare images, this book reveals the fascinating stories behind botanical illustration.

"Peter Marren is a master storyteller and gifted with an inimitable gallows humour. He was destined to write The Devil's Garden." Richard MabeyA lively exploration of the poisoners, tricksters, stingers, stinkers and invaders of the plant world and how their lives intertwine with ours.Some plants and fungi - those we cultivate in farms, gardens and allotments - are pretty, useful or edible. Others are more troublesome: poisonous, or with painful stings, sinister looks or foul smells. In the medieval mind, these would be the flowers of the devil, planted on earth to torment humankind. The infamous death cap mushroom, innocent-looking but lethal. The monstrous corpse flower, with a stench to match its name. The mandrake, said to scream if uprooted. In this deeply insightful and unflinching read, naturalist and conservationist Peter Marren explores the world's 'worst' plants and fungi and the ways they maim, murder and make mischief to get by.These species have rich histories, steeped in folklore and superstition, but there are also biological reasons behind why they are the way they are. Step into the devil's garden and discover their stories, amusing as they are unexpected and gripping as they are horrifying.
