The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism, and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism, Confucianism, and Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Daoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners, have used the Daodejing as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, and is among the most translated works in world literature.

Occult Philosophy

Here is a clear and lucid exposition of the Profane Mysteries, the Lesser or Lunar Mysteries, and the Greater or Solar Mysteries.  These are presented in terms of 1) the popular ideas in occultism, such as the Solar Myth, the belief that the Anglo-Americans are the ten lost tribes of Israel, and the speculation that Shakespearean plays were written by Francis Bacon, 2) the established doctrines of an age-old esotericism, concerning such matters as transmutation or the elixir of life, adepts or Masters of Wisdom with miraculous powers, and man's destiny as charted through karma and reincarnation, and 3) the organization of all existence and experience on a Pythagorean basis of number, a Platonic structure of operational concepts, and an Aristotelian organization through functional or pragmatic logic.  The history of occult origins and developments is given considerable detail, together with a thorough account of the various schools of thought and points of view.  Bibliographical references are unusually full, and over 100 pages of glossary provides a complete orientation in both Western and Eastern terminology.

This book is at once a wholly modern introduction to the great esoteric tradition, often identified as the Eternal Wisdom, and a most practical manual for the individual wishing to guide his own aspirations along the lines of the Solar Path. Its pages chart a way of illumination brought to fruition from within the core of man's own personal immortality, and includes the complete rituals of the Sabian Assembly. The account of the evolution of these basic conceptions at the threshold of the Aquarian Age may serve to illustrate the working of the eternal process of Solar Initiation, and in any case establish the text as a useful primer of higher realization for any earnest seeker.

While the role of the university president has evolved dramatically in recent years, the recruitment pool and selection process have changed little since the 1960s. InLeadership Under Fire, Ross Paul combines leadership theory, interviews with eleven of Canada's most successful presidents, and thirty-five years of personal experience to shed light on the complexity and importance of leading a university and identifies some of the critical challenges and opportunities facing Canadian universities today. Paul illuminates some of the ways in which Canadian universities are unique and uses these differences to make clear the importance of organizational cultural and institutional fit for leaders confronting critical academic issues such as academic leadership and accountability, student success and support, university funding and fund-raising, strategic planning, government and community relations, and internationalism. His analysis reaffirms some long-standing practices, while arguing that changes are badly needed in others. While much has been written about university leadership elsewhere,Leadership Under Firefocuses on Canada and some of the men and women who have made a real difference to the quality of its post-secondary institutions. Paul builds on their stories to offer useful perspectives and advice at a time when the quality of universities was never more critical to the country's economic, social, and political success.

In the Tibetan highlands Buddhism flowered in the form known as Lamaism, and the presence of religious art in Tibet has been universal, extending even to remote and secluded regions. This comprehensive treatise examines this artistic heritage, aided by copious color plates and line drawings. The iconography of the great Buddhist masters and saints is presented and the mystic and revelatory functions of Tibetan religious art is elucidated.
