This book is about the deep sexual wisdom of love as one of the "eight supporting pillars of Taoism." According to the traditional teaching, the "Taoist Bedroom Secrets" are the root of human happiness. They are based on the foundation of the ancient Chinese procedures of diagnosis, therapy, and treatment. This book focuses on the "jade stem" and the "jade gate, " which symbolize the exchange of masculine and feminine energy. The strongly vitalizing power of the many illustrated chi exercises can be recognized in names like "Return to Springtime" or "The Heavenly Water of the Life Force." Master Chian Zettnersan has over 30 years of experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). He is a member of the World Organization for Acupuncture in Peking and works as a chi-kung therapist.

Cast-Iron Furniture by Georg Himmelheber, ISBN 0856674621
Iron seemed to be suitable for everything - from railway lines to steam kettles, jewellery and furniture. Beds, chairs, tables, benches and small items of furniture made of cast-iron, the most modern and versatile material of its time, were available due to its durability and low price.
The art-historical development of cast-iron furniture has long been neglected and this book offers a systematic illustrated record of the many diverse forms featuring two major names: Karl Friedrich Schinkel of Germany and Christopher Dresser of the United Kingdom.
With over 460 types of iron furniture presented among 160 pages of illustrations, Georg Himmelheber provides furniture experts and dealers, designers and collectors with the first complete and international survey of this very popular furniture. This book is also an important contribution to the cultural history of the 19th century.
