A basic introduction to the ancient system of astrology based on the Chinese lunar calendar from the author of Simple Feng Shui. Introduced by the emperor Huang Ti between 2700 and 2600 B.C.E., Chinese astrology is based on the culture’s lunar calendar, which is made up of five cycles of twelve years each, with a complete cycle taking sixty years. According to legend, Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed earth, but only twelve came to pay their respects. To honor them, he named a year after each animal in the order that they appeared: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar. These became the twelve astrological signs that determine your personality, behavior, and proclivities according to the year and time of day you were born. This age-old practice tells you what to expect—in life, career, and romance—in the coming years. Featuring illustrations and tables, this guide makes this exacting science and art of divination and personal analysis accessible to Western readers.

The first comprehensive exploration on the subject of older men, Older Men′s Lives offers a multidisciplinary portrait of men and their concerns in later life. Using both a life-course and gendered perspective, the contributors to this collection of original articles point out that the image and self-image of men are continuously reconstructed over the life cycle. They examine older men′s position in society and the changes wrought in their status and roles over time. Their relationship with their spouses, children, grandchildren, and friends are also explored, as are policy implications of a gendered, life-cycle view of masculinity. This volume also discusses faith development in older men, masculinity identity from work to retirement, older men′s sexuality, and older men′s friendship patterns. Older Men′s Lives will be of interest to professionals and students interested in gender, men′s studies, gerontology, and sociology. "This book begins to remedy the lack of information and provides data and research on aging men. . . .The strength of this book is the specificity of its focus. By focusing solely on male concerns the book is able to identify issues in the male aging process and discuss them on their own terms rather than simply as a contrast to females." --Clinical Gerontologist

Pioneering nutritionist Ann Wigmore has developed a simple and effective program to extract the maximum nutrients from foods without creating stress on the digestive system. By properly blending unprocessed foods—that is, liquefying them—we can release much more of the vital enzymes, vitamins, and minerals contained in them. Ann Wigmore observed that our modern diet puts a tremendous burden on the digestive system. This burden, over the years, is responsible for creating numerous health disorders, from gastric-related problems to degenerative diseases. In addition—and just as important—the body’s ability to assimilate the very nutrients we rely on to carry out daily-life sustaining functions is diminished. In The Blending Book, Ann Wigmore offers us her proven system to improve our health easily and simply. The Blending Book begins by examining the problems inherent in our way of eating.
