Daan van der Walt, a Latin-quoting, God-fearing former Kalahari farmer, visits his estranged son in China for the first time.
When he has a vertigo attack soon after his arrival, his son drops him off at a Buddhist monastery. Under the guidance of Master Yang, an obstreperous Daan is made to practice Tai Chi to recover his balance, both physically and spiritually. He soon finds himself on a difficult path (the Dao of the title) to come to terms with his feelings of remorse and guilt. He sets out to write his Historia, or confessions, in the form of letters to his deceased wife and imaginary observations to his beloved dog.
An unusual, often very funny, novel whose fields of reference include Roman and Greek mythology, Christian theology, Chinese history and Daoism.
An astounding debut by an octogenarian author; translated by Michiel Heyns.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

For one semester survey courses in general economics Teach your
students how to think like economists. The Economic Way of Thinking
goes beyond explaining the basic principles of micro- and
macroeconomic analysis by showing students a method of reasoning
that teaches them how to apply these principles as tools. The
authors expose students to a method of reasoning that makes them
think like an economist through example and application and also
shows them how not to think, by exposing errors in popular economic
reasoning. The latest edition has been thoroughly updated with
current material.
