A comprehensive guide to the mysteries of the I Ching. Originally
discovered around 3,000 BCE, the I Ching is a collection of symbols
that explain how patterns in the universe change and shift. These
sixty-four symbols contain within them one of the most powerful
keys to understanding the world around us. The Secrets of the I
Ching is the definitive guide to understanding the ancient
mysteries and foundations of the I Ching. Authors Dr. David Lee and
Joseph K. Kim guide the reader from the very beginning of Eastern
thought, the concepts of Tao and Tai Chi, through the theory of
Yin-Yang, Trinity, the Five Elements, and other critical concepts
that will unlock the full meaning of the I Ching. Instead of simply
re-interpreting the myriad of meanings ascribed to the I Ching,
they focus on the symbols themselves, offering a new way of
understanding its unique power. Filled with over three hundred
images and backed by in-depth research and study, The Secrets of
the I Ching is the ultimate guide to the I Ching and essential
reading for anyone interested in exploring the power of this
ancient source of wisdom and knowledge.
This book offers a distinctive perspective on peace processes by
comparatively analysing two cases which have rarely been studied in
tandem, Ireland and Korea. The volume examines and compares Ireland
and Korea as two peace/conflict areas. Despite their differences,
both places are marked by a number of overlaid states of division:
a political border in a geographical unit (an island and a
peninsula); an antagonistic relationship within the population of
those territories; an international relationship recovering from
past asymmetry and colonialism; and divisions within the main
groupings over how to address these relationships. Written by
academics and practitioners from Europe and East Asia, and guided
by the concepts of peacebuilding and reconciliation, the chapters
assess peace efforts at all levels, from the elite to grassroot
organisations. Topics discussed include: historical parallels;
modern debates over the legacy of the past; contemporary
constitutional and security issues; civil society peacebuilding in
relation to faith, sport, and women’s activism; and the role of
economic assistance. The book brings Ireland and Korea into a rich
dialogue which highlights the successes and shortcomings of both
peace processes This book will be of interest to students of Peace
and Conflict Studies, Irish Politics, Korean Politics, and
International Relations.
The role that race and religion play in American presidential
elections is attracting national attention like never before. The
2008 presidential candidates reached out to an unprecedented number
of racial and religious voting constituencies including African
Americans, Latinos, Muslims, Mainline Protestants, Catholics,
Evangelicals, Jews, women, the non-religious, and more. Religion,
Race, and the American Presidency focuses on the roles of these
racial and religious groups in presidential elections over the last
forty years, and in elections since 2000 in particular. Drawing
upon survey data, interviews, and case studies of recent
presidents, the contributors examine the complicated relationships
between American presidents and key racial and religious groups.
