<p>The Philosophy of China is one of natural cycles, understatement instead of overstatement, using flow rather than force, movement over stagnation, and understanding that the only thing which remains constant is change. This album displays China and Chinese philosophy according to traditional wuxing (five elements, i.e., water, wood, fire, earth, and gold) thought, which arose from the Chinas naturalist school over 2,000 years ago. It embodies the Chinese view of our universe which absorbs natural phenomenon as a force not to be controlled but a continuous cycle to be pursued. Embodies by this album are the forces and aesthetic of tradition, a clear collective subconscious of the Chinese people whose 5,000-year unbroken history predates most memories of man. Here the philosophy of five elements is at work, emanating the cycle of seasons, the creative and deconstructive process of these cycles. This album includes 200 color pictures about Chinas geographic environment, landscape, places of interest, culture and customs, thus helping the readers get a full knowledge about China.</p>

Some say that Shangri-La can be found in sacred Tibet, or maybe in wild Qinghai. They are others who say it can be found in artistic Yunnan. Author Laurence J Brahm hitchhikes off the beaten track through western China, meeting monks, nomads, artists, rock and pop musicians, dancers, composers, environmentalists and living Buddhas, each searching for their own version of Shangri-La. Shangri-La can be found in a cup of café latte or yak butter tea if you search carefully enough... Searching for Shangri-La... Can you find it? Maybe you are not searching carefully enough...
