Completing the trilogy that began with the Parent's Tao Te Ching (praised as "pure gold" by Hugh Prather) and continued with the Couple's Tao Te Ching ("a singular book," said George Fowler), William Martin now distills and freshly reinterprets the Tao for "sages," or those in the second half of life. As Martin writes, sages are the "primary keepers and transmitters of wisdom, culture, values, and spirituality." Martin's free-verse interpretation captures the ancient spirit of Lao Tzu's text, yet speaks directly to modern readers. The text is accompanied by a visual interpretation of the Tao in more than 50 original ink-brush drawings. Like the Parent's Tao and Couple's Tao before it, the Sage's Tao has the hallmarks of a classic. "You have ceased trying /To tie up all loose ends./You have discovered/That life does not need to be neat/You have more questions than answers,/And this is a great delight to you./You trust the mystery of life/Without having to possess it." - from the book

With the fall of communism in the Soviet Union, it was argued that the era of ideological struggles had ended. Professional diplomats and policymakers knew better, but their concerns about the Islamic world and subsequent advice to politicians did not lead to new policies to address the gathering storm. DANGER AND OPPORTUNITY will contain both analysis and personal anecdotes of an American diplomat that bring to life in a narrative manner the issues being discussed. The book will describe the global dimensions and implications of the struggle, the strategic challenge they present to our policymakers, and policy principles necessary to a winning strategy.
