Book Description
Craig McIntyre, ex-military turned bodyguard, has a powerful and uncontrollable affliction: his mere presence can transform people’s darkest thoughts into action. The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been destroyed by a white supremacist group called the Factor. The attack has been hushed-up and time is of the essence if national and global economic meltdown is to be avoided. McIntyre’s nemesis, Senator Tampoline, wants McIntyre to track down those to blame for the terrorist attack and, using his unique ability, kill them. But things are not as they seem. McIntyre struggles to determine who are his allies and who are his enemies and, forced to go on the run, discovers that to save his own life he must tread well beyond the furthest reaches of his moral code and kidnap the future president of America. Praise for FURTHEST REACHES: “A thriller as taut and urgent s a killer’s garrotte. Tough, tight and utterly compelling.” —Neil Broadfoot, author of No Man’s Land “Grabs you by the throat, punches you in the body then gives you a good slapping.” —Caro Ramsay, author of The Suffering of Strangers

Arthur (Art) Mumby and his irritating sister Myrtle live with their father in the huge and rambling house, Larklight, travelling through space on a remote orbit far beyond the Moon.

Sources of Chinese Tradition
Author: Wm. Theodore De Bary
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 9780231517980
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1038
Book Description
A collection of seminal primary readings on the social, intellectual, and religious traditions of China, Sources of Chinese Tradition, Volume 1 has been widely used and praised for almost forty years as an authoritative resource for scholars and students and as a thorough and engaging introduction for general readers. Here at last is a completely revised and expanded edition of this classic sourcebook, compiled by noted China scholars Wm. Theodore de Bary and Irene Bloom. Updated to reflect recent scholarly developments, with extensive material on popular thought and religion, social roles, and women's education, this edition features new translations of more than half the works from the first edition, as well as many new selections. Arranged chronologically, this anthology is divided into four parts, beginning at the dawn of literate Chinese civilization with the Oracle-Bone inscriptions of the late Shang dynasty (1571–1045 B.C.E.) and continuing through the end of the Ming dynasty (C.E. 1644). Each chapter has an introduction that provides useful historical context and offers interpretive strategies for understanding the readings. The first part, The Chinese Tradition in Antiquity, considers the early development of Chinese civilization and includes selections from Confucius's Analects, the texts of Mencius and Laozi, as well as other key texts from the Confucian, Daoist, and Legalist schools. Part 2, The Making of a Classical Culture, focuses on Han China with readings from the Classic of Changes (I Jing), the Classic of Filiality, major Han syntheses, and the great historians of the Han dynasty. The development of Buddhism, from the earliest translations from Sanskrit to the central texts of the Chan school (which became Zen in Japan), is the subject of the third section of the book. Titled Later Daoism and Mahayana Buddhism in China, this part also covers the teachings of Wang Bi, Daoist religion, and texts of the major schools of Buddhist doctrine and practice. The final part, The Confucian Revival and Neo-Confucianism, details the revival of Confucian thought in the Tang, Song, and Ming periods, with historical documents that link philosophical thought to political, social, and educational developments in late imperial China. With annotations, a detailed chronology, glossary, and a new introduction by the editors, Sources of Chinese Tradition will continue to be a standard resource, guidebook, and introduction to Chinese civilization well into the twenty-first century.
