Learn the art of Japanese gardening with this classic, fascinating text. The Sakuteiki, or "Records of Garden Making," was written nearly one thousand years ago. It is the oldest existing text on Japanese gardening-or any kind of gardening-in the world. In this edition of the Sakuteiki, the authors provide an English-language translation of this classic work and an introduction to the cultural and historical context that led to the development of Japanese gardening. Central to this explanation is an understanding of the sacred importance of stones in Japanese culture and Japanese garden design. Written by a Japanese court noble during the Heian period (794-1184), the Sakuteiki includes both technical advice on gardening-much of which is still followed in today's Japanese gardens-and an examination of the four central threads of allegorical meaning, which were integral features of Heian-era garden design. For those seeking inspiration to build a rock garden or just better ...

This is the story of the so-called Inland Empire of the Northwest, that rugged and majestic region bounded east and west by the Cascades and the Rockies, from the time of the great exploration of Lewis and Clark to the tragic defeat of Chief Joseph in 1877. And at the center of this history - perhaps even more relevant today than at the original publication of this classic volume - is the confrontation of the Indian and non-Indian during this nation's, and this region's, formative period. Heroic characters and dramatic events abound here. Explorers, fur traders, miners, settlers, missionaries, ranchers, and above all a unique succession of Indian chiefs and their tribespeople bring into focus one of the permanently instructive chapters in the history of the American west.

Um dos mais brilhantes escritores americanos, Robert Wright apresenta uma jornada pela psicologia, a filosofia e a meditação para nos mostrar que o budismo detém o segredo para a felicidade duradoura. A filosofia budista se baseia na afirmação de que nós sofremos – e causamos sofrimento aos outros – porque não vemos o mundo como ele é. E a prática da meditação traz uma promessa radical: é possível aprender a ver o mundo e a nós mesmos com maior clareza e, assim, alcançar uma profunda satisfação. Nesse livro pioneiro, definido como "sublime" pela revista The New Yorker, Wright afirma que levar essa promessa a sério pode mudar a sua vida, pois diminui o poder que a ansiedade, a culpa e o ódio têm sobre você, além de aumentar sua capacidade de apreciar as outras pessoas e a beleza do mundo. Com uma aguçada compreensão da evolução humana, ele recorre às últimas descobertas da neurociência e da psicologia para explicar como essa transformação acontece. Escrito com a sagacidade e a...
