In this important new translation, the Huangs reveal the stark poetry of the authentic I Ching, reconstruct the numerous historical tales that were once an essential element of the text, and present the hexagrams and their judgements clearly and concisely. Most importantly, they allow the ancient classic to serve its intended purpose as a practical handbook for divination.
A professor of particle physics at MIT, Kerson Huang has been consulting the I ching since his childhood in Canton, China. He brings to this work both a unique abilitiy to bridge the cultures of East and West, and the fascinating perspective of the scientific mind confronting the great mysteries of the human soul.
'Rosemary and Kerson Huang, poet and physicist-poet, have made superb translation and appreciaton of the bone-old book.'-Phillip Morrison author of Powers of Ten
