Ancient Wisdom for Westerners offers a clear and practical introduction to this ancient wisdom.One of the most striking differences between modern Western medicine and Tibetan medicine is how Tibetan medicine looks at health and disease from the energetic point of view, as well from an anatomic and physiological one. Tibetan medicine thus provides the answers to many questions about the human body and disease that can not be explained in terms of modern medical teachings.Ancient Wisdom for Westerners explores the origins of Tibetan medicine and outlines Tibetan Buddhist terms. It offers explanations to the primary causes and conditions that give rise to sickness, how to avoid and treat them, and how to prevent them from reoccurring. It explains how the three subtle energies of Tibetan medicine are responsible for all bodily functions and gives examples of how nutrition and behaviour are conducive to good health. It also details accurate diagnostic methods, some of which are particularly useful for babies and small children.

English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030914704 | 322 pages | True PDF EPUB | 53.09 MB The text introduces engineering to first-year undergraduate students using Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL). It draws on several different inquiry-based instruction types such as confirmation inquiry, structured inquiry, guided inquiry, and open inquiry, and all of their common elements. Professor Blum's approach emphasizes the student's role in the learning process, empowering them in the classroom to explore the material, ask questions, and share ideas, instead of the instructor lecturing to passive learners about what they need to know. Beginning with a preface to IBL, the book is organized into three parts, each consisting of four to ten chapters. Each chapter has a dedicated topic where an initial few paragraphs of introductory or fundamental material are provided. This is followed by a series of focused questions that guide the students' learning about the concept(s) being taught. Featuring multiple inquiry-based strategies, each most appropriate to the topic, An Inquiry-Based Approach to Introduction to Engineering stands as an easy to use textbook that quickly allows students to actively engage with the content during every class period.

With a large number of illustrations of Chinese gardens, ancient paintings, block prints, and other artefacts, this book is a social history of Chinese gardens and focuses on how gardens have functioned and been used in Chinese society through the ages. Apart from the aesthetic or philosophical aspects of Chinese gardens, you may see how gardens functioned as real estate, how they gave opportunities of employment to skilled artisans, how they opened up outdoor space to both elite and lower-class women, how they allowed men of different social classes and of different ethnicities to interact and gain mutual benefit: in short, how the existence of gardens exerted an influence on society as a whole. At the same time, the reader can find how the wider society, and even socio-economic changes beyond China's own borders, had an impact on how gardens in China developed.
