Originally written for Chinese readers, this book provides a clear description of the Taoist practice of Internal Alchemy, or Neidan. The author outlines the four stages of the alchemical practice and clarifies several relevant terms and notions, including Essence, Breath, and Spirit; the Cinnabar Fields; the "Fire Times"; and the Embryo. The book is based on the system of the Wuzhen pian (Awakening to Reality), one of the main sources of Internal Alchemy, and contains about two hundred quotations from original Taoist texts.

Описание: On the basis of their early small, but dense, buildings and projects, Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron have been recognized as architects searching for the essential grounds of their discipline. From their earliest designs of 1978, their work has sought to reconcile the role of architecture in the age of electronic media. With their current work in Switzerland and abroad, Herzog and de Meuron continue to combine architecture's primary physical dimension with its capacity to embody conceptual qualities. This book is a comprehensive monograph including all the significant buildings and projects from the "Photographic Studio Frei" in Weil to the Signal Box in Basel and the Tate Gallery in London, with selected essays by architectural critics.
