This is the English version of "Hua Hu", Book 2. Hanson Chan's Hua Hu, Book 1 & 2, in English editions were in fact published in 2006. Both were translated from the original Chinese versions by the same author, and Chinese versions are also available. Hanson Chan's "Hua Hu", Book 1 & 2, were novels of Chinese martial arts based on a historical event and polemics between Taoism and Buddhism during the imperial times in China. The center and focus of this religious controversy were an ancient Taoist scripture, known as Hua Hu Jing, which was written and circulated in China since the fourth century. According to history, the Taoist scripture stated that Lao Tzu, the famous philosopher and author of the Tao Te Ching, after finished his writing for the foundation of Taoism left China for India, where he taught a student named Sakyamuni, and that this last disciple of his founded a religion later called Buddhism, which preached kindness to all. However, the above story was challenged by Buddhists and deemed as a fabricated slander. For centuries, debates between the two religions were held without any result until the time of Khan Kubilai's reign when the Taoists were finally announced defeated and the then Mongol emperor decreed that all copies of Hua Hu Jing were to be banned and burnt...... Hanson Chan, author of the novels Hua Hu 1-The Forbidden Scripture & Hua Hu 2-Thunder Spell, used this historical incident as background and wrote the story of a Taoist girl who at the last request of her Sifu must fulfill her sworn duty to save the sole surviving copy. Hua Hu, Book 1: The Forbidden Scripture describes the twists and turns of her flight from Yenching (today's Beijing) with the book, while being pursued by Buddhist's and the Mongol military, to Dun-Huang. Hua Hu, Book 2: The Thunder Spell uncovers secrets hidden within the Taoist scripture. It was believed that the instruction for "Thunder Spell" was kept within the text of Hua Hu Jing. As legend revealed, the magical power of Thunder Spell was the highest technique for Taoists to summon deities of natural forces to perform magic in their ceremonial services. If one possessed the skill, power and success would be followed soon. So, in the process of unveiling the final truth, the Taoist girl was trapped and forced into a series of bloody fights against trickery and betrayal, selfishness and vanity, as well as dreams and disappointments during her struggles and involvement with different other sects in Taoism. In writing these two novels, Hanson Chan not only examined volumes of books related to the historical incidents, but also made several trips to China to visit various sites of interest for factual details. He will share his research and information with readers in these books.

In Enneagram terms, to know which number we are is to discover the way we view reality. Once this is apparent, we can begin to move beyond crippling patterns in our behaviors. We can move toward growth and greater health. We also can better undertand and interact with others. For those interested in self-awareness and growth, the first step of the Enneagram journey, then, is to identify which of the nine Enneagram types you are. This cannot be done quickly or by someone other than us. We must take the time needed, have patience with ourselves and make it a do-it-your self-observation process. And it still can be enjoyable. The essential tool of self-observation will help you to uncover layer after layer of your personality until you begin to recognize your own repeating patterns of behavior, your recurrent feelings, your habitual way of thinking, and the underlying motivation for all these. The process will help bring all the parts of you back together and you will come alive in a new way.

Yesteryear in Umu-Akha: History and Evolution of an Igbo Community, 1665-1999, is a pioneer study of an Igbo people in the Isuama subcultural group. It is in part in response to the call for the study of Igbo people on the micro scale, that is, at the local, else, subcultural divisional group level. It is believed that studies at this level will facilitate the writing of igbo history by making much easier the extraction of the traits and traditions common among the various communities or groups, for generalization at the pan-Igbo level. Although a number of such studies have been published lately, none is on the Isuama, despite its uniqueness. Located in Igbo heartland, in eastern Nigeria, Isuama is arguably the most populated subcultural group in Nigeria. The practice of the Osu caste system is prevalent in the area. Isuama dialect of the Igbo language was the first of its kind to be subjected to western scholarship as early as the last quarter of the 18th century. Umu-Akha as a community in the subcultural group has a special appeal as a unit of pre 20th century study because of the great advantage it offers in the understanding of Igbo culture and civilization. Unlike most of its sister communities, it is a constellation of villages with a long history, a common ancestor and under one ruler. Larger than the single village in size and population and possessing a wider range of traits and traditions more representative of its subcultural group, its history bears study; one that offers great opportunity for the extraction of the needed commonalities among the various groups and conveniently generalizable at the pan-Igbo level. The end result is the enrichment of knowledge of Igbo civilization. This book can be used as a text in any institution of higher learning for courses in African Studies, HIstory, Sociology, Religion, Political Science and even Comparative Institutions. It can equally serve the needs of the general reader interested in the cultures and customs of other peoples and races.

It chronicles all our presidential elections and examines the winners and the losers and the reasons why.

Powerful African families that made up the opposition met secretively in Macao, an island near China. They created the African National Commission and swore allegiance to Africa. 'Peace and Prosperity for the Love of Africa' became their salutation to pass on to sympathizers forever how long it took to see the restoration of their countries powerful, one nation status again. The first leader of this organization called the office of the leader 'Shadow Angel'. The African National Government (ANG) was born. For over two-hundred years, the ANC quietly built this underground government and became involved in many decisions that led to Africans regaining their dignity, freedom, respect and power worldwide. African-American civil rights leaders, politicians, business people, even others, became followers of the ANC in one capacity or another and all swore their secrecy. They believed as they had been taught that one day Africa would be one nation under GOD. THAT TIME HAS ARRIVED.

In his new book The Rats are in the Cheese, author and satirist Jon Zagrodzky examines one of the most troubling domestic issues we face in the United States: a dysfunctional tax system.

Picking up where George Orwell's Animal Farm ends, this book clearly spells out the dilemma that confronts us and proposes an intelligent solution that will appeal to ordinary taxpayers frustrated by the current system. It will change how readers think about tax reform.

Altered States addresses the two greatest challenges of human consciousness: death and holiness. The questions are: What happens when you die? and What is holy? These two concerns drive culture and civilization, and shape all human experience, personal and communal. History and literature bear testimony to this conscious preoccupation. Yet, one must ask, Is there any consensus on the subject of death and the holy? Is there anything that can be called "truth?" Altered States offers surprising answers. The text comprises two major essays, "The State of the Dead," and "The State of the Holy." Dr. Yeagley has provided a wide scope of research for each, and the essays inevitably involve elements of philosophy, anthropology, archeology, sociology, psychology, literature, and of course, religion.
