Book excerpt: Tea lovers will want to curl up - a pot of their favorite variety at hand - and linger over every informative page of this comprehensive account of tea's history and qualities. Chow and Kramer focus on Chinese teas and tea practices; their wonderfully detailed discussions leave no stone unturned in bringing to light all facets of tea as a plant, drink and institution.

Download or read book The True History of Tea written by Erling Hoh and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2009-03-24 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively and beautifully illustrated history of one of the world's favorite beverages and its uses through the ages. World-renowned sinologist Victor H. Mair teams up with journalist Erling Hoh to tell the story of this remarkable beverage and its uses, from ancient times to the present, from East to West. For the first time in a popular history of tea, the Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan, and Mongolian annals have been thoroughly consulted and carefully sifted. The resulting narrative takes the reader from the jungles of Southeast Asia to the splendor of the Tang and Song Dynasties, from the tea ceremony politics of medieval Japan to the fabled tea and horse trade of Central Asia and the arrival of the first European vessels in Far Eastern waters. Through the centuries, tea has inspired artists, enhanced religious experience, played a pivotal role in the emergence of world trade, and triggered cataclysmic events that altered the course of humankind. How did green tea become the national beverage of Morocco? And who was the beautiful Emma Hart, immortalized by George Romney in his painting The Tea-maker of Edgware Road? No other drink has touched the daily lives of so many people in so many different ways. The True History of Tea brings these disparate aspects together in an entertaining tale that combines solid scholarship with an eye for the quirky, offbeat paths that tea has strayed upon during its long voyage. It celebrates the common heritage of a beverage we have all come to love, and plays a crucial part in the work of dismantling that obsolete dictum: East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet.

Download or read book The Witchdoctor and the Man written by Pat Holliday Ph D and published by . This book was released on 2001-09-10 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bishop Samuel Vagalas Kanco's testimony is more than just the biography of a man, or an examination of his preaching. The Witch Doctor and The Man: City Under the Sea penetrates deeply into the very essence of Bishop Kanco's life and ministry. Witnessing the power of the Holy Spirit's anointing in his life and work, you will find this book fascinating and empowering. As a young man in Ghana, Vagalas Kanco was a high level wizard in his tribe. Fortunately, Jesus Christ intervened to rescue him from the kingdom of darkness shortly before he inherited, from his father, the position of fourth generation witch doctor. The Bishop's testimony tells of a high-powered confrontation between Satan, the lord of darkness, and Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords. Kanco exposes the lies, subterfuges, and half-truths Satan uses to entice people down dark and dangerous back alleys. With characteristic creativity and skill, Bishop Kanco strips away the veneer of our modern society, to expose the evil of Satan and his many demonic minions, evil that often disguises itself as good. His testimony is a landmark study of the power of God. There's an honest terror here that will instruct you. So, read and grow in your understanding of this mighty warrior of God. Bishop Samuel Vagalas Kanco received his Doctorate of Ministry from Southeastern Seminary in Savannah, GA. He currently oversees The Lord's Vineyard Church, International (Box 816, Medina, Accra, Ghana, Africa) in Africa, England, and Canada, and also ministers worldwide in a miracle ministry, teaching and healing God's people. He has appeared on many international television and radio programs.
