Download or read book To Float Like Clouds to Flow Like Water written by Al Simon and published by . This book was released on 2012-06-03 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are we born? Why do we live? Why do we die? And with unhappiness and suffering all around us, how can we live happy, fulfilled, meaningful lives? You are about to discover the secrets to living mindfully from the ancient Chinese art of Tai Chi. Most people practice Tai Chi for all of its amazing health benefits. But Tai Chi is also a form of "moving meditation" that contains insights about our true selves that few people ever explore. Now you can unlock the secrets that turn Tai Chi into a form of "standing Zen". Discover how you can bring the mindfulness of Tai Chi into your life. Through the use of Tai Chi imagery, traditional Zen teachings, and the author's personal stories, you'll learn to "float like clouds and flow like water" not just in Tai Chi, but in all areas of your life. From the book: "This is not a how-to book on Tai Chi or on Zen. How-to books explore these arts from the 'outside in' - starting with the outer forms, and if the book is any good, to the inner practice. "Instead, I want to work from the 'inside out' - to explore how these arts affect us on the inside. I want to focus on the motivation and understanding in these arts that lead us on the path to mindfulness."
Download or read book A World From Dust written by Ben McFarland and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-07 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A World From Dust describes how a set of chemical rules combined with the principles of evolution in order to create an environment in which life as we know it could unfold. Beginning with simple mathematics, these predictable rules led to the advent of the planet itself, as well as cells, organs and organelles, ecosystems, and increasingly complex life forms. McFarland provides an accessible discussion of a geological history as well, describing how the inorganic matter on Earth underwent chemical reactions with air and water, allowing for life to emerge from the world's first rocks. He traces the history of life all the way to modern neuroscience, and shows how the bioelectric signals that make up the human brain were formed. Most popular science books on the topic present either the physics of how the universe formed, or the biology of how complex life came about; this book's approach would be novel in that it condenses in an engaging way the chemistry that links the two fields. This book is an accessible and multidisciplinary look at how life on our planet came to be, and how it continues to develop and change even today. This book includes 40 illustrations by Gala Bent, print artist and studio faculty member at Cornish College of the Arts, and Mary Anderson, medical illustrator.
