Download or read book 33 Meditations on Death written by David Jarrett and published by Random House. This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AS FEATURED ON BBC RADIO 4 'Start the Week' : 'very moving - brilliant and profound' "Brilliant - a grimly humorous yet humane account of the realities of growing old in the modern age." - Henry Marsh "A remarkably likeable guide to a grisly subject ... daunting, yet ultimately life-affirming" - Independent What is a good death? How would you choose to live your last few months? How do we best care for the rising tide of very elderly? This unusual and important book is a series of reflections on death in all its forms: the science of it, the medicine, the tragedy and the comedy. Dr David Jarrett draws on family stories and case histories from his thirty years of treating the old, demented and frail to try to find his own understanding of the end. Profound, provocative, strangely funny and astonishingly compelling, it is an impassioned plea that we start talking frankly and openly about death. He writes about all the conversations that we, our parents, our children, the medical community, our government and society as a whole should be having. And it is a call to arms for us to make radical changes to our perspective on 'the seventh age of man'. - More praise for 33 Meditations on Death: "This book will stay with you." - Derren Brown "Bursting with empathy, common sense and humour." - Professor Dame Sue Black

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This heartfelt ode to the meditative practice of drinking tea examines the origins of traditional tea culture in the East, revealing how a good cuppa can elevate both the mind and spirit Traditionally in China and Japan, drinking a cup of tea was an opportunity for contemplation, meditation, and an elevation of mind and spirit. Here, renowned translator William Scott Wilson distills what is singular and precious about this traditional tea culture, and he explores the fascinating connection between Zen and tea drinking. He unpacks the most common phrases from Zen and Chinese philosophy—usually found in Asia printed on hanging scrolls in tea rooms, restaurant alcoves, family rooms, and martial arts dojos—that have traditionally served as points of contemplation to encourage the appropriate atmosphere for drinking tea or silent meditation. Part history, part philosophy, part inspirational guide, The One Taste of Truth will connect you to the distinctive pleasure of sipping tea and allowing it to transport your mind and thoughts. This beautifully written book will appeal to tea lovers and anyone interested in tea culture, Chinese philosophy, and Zen.

Download or read book Liquid Jade written by Beatrice Hohenegger and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traveling from East to West over thousands of years, tea has played a variety of roles on the world scene – in medicine, politics, the arts, culture, and religion. Behind this most serene of beverages, idolized by poets and revered in spiritual practices, lie stories of treachery, violence, smuggling, drug trade, international espionage, slavery, and revolution. Liquid Jade's rich narrative history explores tea in all its social and cultural aspects. Entertaining yet informative and extensively researched, Liquid Jade tells the story of western greed and eastern bliss. China first used tea as a remedy. Taoists celebrated tea as the elixir of immortality. Buddhist Japan developed a whole body of practices around tea as a spiritual path. Then came the traumatic encounter of the refined Eastern cultures with the first Western merchants, the trade wars, the emergence of the ubiquitous English East India Company. Scottish spies crisscrossed China to steal the secrets of tea production. An army of smugglers made fortunes with tea deliveries in the dead of night. In the name of "free trade" the English imported opium to China in exchange for tea. The exploding tea industry in the eighteenth century reinforced the practice of slavery in the sugar plantations. And one of the reasons why tea became popular in the first place is that it helped sober up the English, who were virtually drowning in alcohol. During the nineteenth century, the massive consumption of tea in England also led to the development of the large tea plantation system in colonial India – a story of success for British Empire tea and of untold misery for generations of tea workers. Liquid Jade also depicts tea's beauty and delights, not only with myths about the beginnings of tea or the lovers' legend in the familiar blue-and-white porcelain willow pattern, but also with a rich and varied selection of works of art and historical photographs, which form a rare and comprehensive visual tea record. The book includes engaging and lesser-known topics, including the exclusion of women from seventeenth-century tea houses or the importance of water for tea, and answers such questions as: "What does a tea taster do?" "How much caffeine is there in tea?" "What is fair trade tea?" and "What is the difference between black, red, yellow, green, or white tea?" Connecting past and present and spanning five thousand years, Beatrice Hohenegger's captivating and multilayered account of tea will enhance the experience of a steaming "cuppa" for tea lovers the world over.

This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beneath the Cape of Orion—on planet Janaidar—in a parallel universe, a dying Imperial dragon awakens from deep-time compelled to kill a dreaded NuliZhu slavemaster hiding in the Upper Hangar and Staging Area of The-Sleeping-City. Instead, he discovers a hapless human fully transformed into a cyborg by the artificial-sapience known as the WuShi. The stolen man’s name is Elijah. A gigantic flying-saucer hovers high above the early industrial riverfront of Bahndahn Towne. Jackal-headed aliens drop grenades of billowing green paralysis gas. All the people fall—many die outright. After over 5,000-years, the NuliZhu transgalactic slavers from the Empire of Ra are back! Ensconced in the base of a city-sized dodecahedron, The-Creeping-Darkness aspect of the WuShi suddenly finds itself tangled in trillions of lines of ancient code blistering its hyper-processors—a kind of machine-madness. It fires a lucent beam of crackling light up through the core of the city to a precessing cuboid above the Central Obelisk to harden the faces of The-Sleeping-City into battle-mode. Power is short. It desperately needs its newly created power-master, for a lack of power is the only thing stopping it from enslaving the entire multiverse. It must also overcome the Guardian Dragons of Janaidar—whom it fears above all else—for only they can destroy it. In the town of Riverbend, false high priestess and usurper Yenara explores her evil powers in The-Baneful-Chaos. She coldly watches as her left hand rips the ka of the hostler’s son free. His body quakes. Vaporous trails of life-elixir bear witness to the foul murder. Spasms of pleasure ripple through her belly as she imbibes the vital essence of the ill-fated lad.
