Ralph D Sawyer
The Ling Ch'I Ching was first created by an unknown Chinese scholar who consciously sought to present the world with a more accessible oracle than the esoteric I Ching. For centuries the Ling Ch'I Ching has been a popular divination device for attaining self-knowledge and wisdom. Like its more famous cousin, the I Ching, the Ling Ch'I Ching is rich in poetic language and metaphorical imagery, linking the dynamic principles of heaven and earth with the affairs of people. But the Ling Ch'I Ching is far more accessible than the I Ching, focusing on the concerns of day-to-day life and positive accomplishment, with no "moving lines" to interpret. To aid the reader in interpreting the oracle, selections from classical commentaries have been included, as well as the translators' own commentary on the text. Remainder mark.

Chao-Hsiu Chen
A modern telling of a traditional Chinese Buddhist parable, The Master is an account of the wanderings of an enlightened monk and his pupil. It will appeal to readers not just for its rendition of Buddhist themes, but also for the insights it gives. The pupil is presented as an ingenuous youngster eager to acquire wisdom, but subject to all the faults, impatience, and lack of understanding of youth. As the two travel, they encounter sages and tempters, emperors and beggars, each of whom offer lessons for the pupil on his path to Enlightenment. The book’s style is poetic, profound and thought-provoking.

Tim Guest
Guest spent the majority of his first 10 years shuttling around the globe between communes organized by followers of the Indian guru, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. In this stirring memoir, Guest combines thoroughly researched portraits of his controversial guru's movement, his family's story, and his own clear, poignant childhood memories of commune life. Guest remembers the heartbreaking loneliness and sorrow that "did not fit into the commune's dream of laughter and celebration" as well as his profound confusion upon reentering mainstream society at age 11. But his anger toward the mother who periodically abandoned him has softened into a mature, deeply moving sympathy.

Latin America's longest civil war, which lasted 36 years, ended in 1996. For the Mayan Indians it is the end of centuries of suppression and brutality. Now, for the first time since the Conquistadors invaded 500 years ago, the Maya have the chance to live like normal citizens in Guatemala. They are rediscovering their grandiose culture and history and are finally free to practice their ancient religion. This is an extraordinary story of an ancient culture which has survived centuries of oppression. The traditional costumes, the ancient religious ceremonies, the daily customs are all still strong and powerful forces giving meaning and structure to the lives of the Maya. Thomas Hoepker is a member of the prestigious Magnum agency. His work has been exhibited widely and published in major magazines and newspapers worldwide.

James A Hall
Nothing in James Hall's midwestern childhood or professional writing career had prepared him for such an unexpected life. When Hall was on assignment in Africa working with legendary singer Miriam Makeba, she perceived he had the rare gift to see both into the future and into people's souls. At her urging, Hall consulted a sangoma, a traditional healer, who told him he was possessed by ancestral spirits who could give him the power to heal others and to become a sangoma himself- if he was willing to take the risk. The risk he took required him to break with the past and embrace an uncertain future, and undergo a two-year spiritual and physical ordeal- initiation into the mysteries of psychic possession and traditional healing. His is a story never heard before, told by the first white person to complete these demanding and secret rituals. Hall's grasp of reality was shaken to the core as he was forced to surrender himself to souls from the spirit world who now use him as their liaison with the living. James Hall still lives in Swaziland where he practices as a traditional healer. "... an amazing story." - Booklist.
