This book contains a dramatic and revealing translation of this
ancient classic into English. The Chinese original is set
side-by-side with the translation. Two things set this translation
apart from all previous ones. First, archeological findings are
used to uncover the meaning of passages obscured for thousands of
years. Second, it preserves the flavor of the orignal in a poetic
rendition. An introductory part of this book provides the
historical and philosophical background to the I Ching. The story
is told of the ancient Chinese civilization, pointing out events
and figures mentioned in the I Ching. The undisguised face of the I
Ching will appeal to the modern reader, who will read it in his or
her own individual way, as poetry, as discoverer of self, or as
soothsayer. It is in the grand tradition of the I Ching for
different people to see different things. To Confucius, who was
born in 550 B.C., it was a source of ethics.; To Leibnitz, the
eighteenth-century inventor of calculus, it was the essence of
binary mathematics.; To Jung Freud's rival in psychology, it was an
explorer of the unconscious.; To some Wall Streeters, it predicts
the stock market.; As a companion to this book, a computer
software, Huang's I Ching offers computerized consultations of the
I Ching. In the court of Zhou, they used to do this by counting
stalks of the yarrow reed. Results of the court would indicate what
passages to read. In later ages, yarrow-counting was replaced by
coin-tossing, as a ritual closer to people's lifestyle. And now,
the I Ching is ready for the future.
in this dynamic, nonfiction graphic novel, Jon Chad illustrates the
little-known story of pinball--how it works and why it all matters
in an age of special effects and on-screen gaming. In 1976,
champion player Roger Sharpe stepped up to a pinball machine in a
Manhattan courtroom. The New York City Council had convened to
consider lifting the city's ban on pinball--a game that had been
outlawed since 1942 for its supposed connections to gambling and
organized crime. Sharpe was there to prove that, unlike a slot
machine, pinball wasn't a game of chance designed to fleece its
players--it was a game of skill that required a measure of
patience, coordination, and control. To prove his point, he
proclaimed that he would launch his ball into the center lane at
the far end of the playfield--much like Babe Ruth famously pointing
to the fences. Sharpe pulled back the plunger and released, and the
fate of this industry and art form hung in the balance. Thus opens
Jon Chad's comprehensive graphic novel to the history of the
captivating, capricious--and at times infuriating!--game of
pinball. Tracing pinball's roots back to the Court of King Louis
XIV, through the immigrant experience of early 20th century
America, the post-War boom and bust, right up to the present day,
Chad charmingly ushers readers through the myriad facets of this
most American of pursuits--capturing not just the history but also
the artistry, cultural significance, and even the physics of the
game.
