Go is an ancient, subtly beautiful game of territory. But with its nearly endless possibilities and challenges, it is more than just another game; it is a way of life for tens of millions of players throughout the world. Embodying four thousand years of Oriental thought and culture, go is the oldest game in the world still played in its original form. Go is the kind of game that one can learn in a day—and spend a lifetime perfecting. It is more art than science: in order to surround and capture the opponent's territory, one needs intuition, flexibility, and acute perception combined with a sharp analytical mind. Each player is a partner in an exercise of coexistence; each player needs the other for self-enlightenment and for enjoyment. But then, too, go is a game whose strategy has been compared to the tactics of guerilla warfare. Go can be all things to all people; it is simple, elegant, and unexpectedly beautiful. This book contains an introduction; a brief example game; a clear, leisurely explanation of the rules; and illustrations of the simplest techniques of good play and of some easy and some more difficult problems the player will encounter. The appendixes include a concise list of rules, a glossary of technical terms, and a list of international and American go organizations. Among go players, Go for Beginners is known as the best beginner's book available.

Suzanne Aubert's life was a very full one, ninety-one years packed with eventfulness. It was nonetheless a thoughtful life, in a partnership of reflection and action lived out and communicated to others. The small French nun who strode the streets and roads of New Zealand on behalf of the poor and neglected was in her lifetime a legend - and she has remained so ever since. Highly articulate in both French and English, she wrote copious letters throughout her long life. The correspondence selected here reflects every aspect of her interest - her rich friendships, her challenges to the church hierarchy, her engagement with politicians on behalf of the poor, her relationships with the Sisters of the religious congregation that she founded (the Daughters of the Compassion). This book of letters is a superb presentation of a key figure in New Zealand history.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are my ways your ways," declares the Lord. "The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice." The inheritance of the nations was foreknown from the foundation of the world. The Lord over all is the inheritance and the foundation. The Lord has declared all his works to be perfect, and to reign over the nations. This book is an exposition on the perfection of his law, and on the nature of his reign over the olam haBa. Beginning with an exegesis spanning from Genesis to John, every word spoken by God as prescriptive of or warranting action is listed, in order, excluding those mitzvot pertaining to the temple, priesthood, or sacrifices. It is these mitzvoth that which constitute the perfect law that God ordained from the foundation, and these mitzvoth that show us how we are to live in God's will. Following this exegesis, the perfection of the law is revealed in its reconstitution and philosophy and in how Christians are to responsibly implement his laws and steward the nations of the world. Lastly, this book endeavors to show the areas of life that God created for us to live in and the institutions that he prescribed for us to partake of and the interrelatedness of all made by God. This concluding section reasserts traditional understandings of how we are to live our lives in every area of life created by God, and shows how this understanding is naturally and necessarily derivative of the biblical mitzvoth, and how the world engendered thereby is ideal for human living. In this modern world where so many institutions and relationships exist that have no biblical foundation, it is increasingly the common Christian experience to feel utterly lost and alienated amidst the secular world. Simply put, this is precisely because we, as a nation, have forsaken the way to live given us by God, and this is my answer for all those hurt and wandering Christians.

The history of Hawaii may be said to be the story of arrivals -- from the eruption of volcanoes on the ocean floor 18,000 feet below to the first hardy seeds that over millennia found their way to the islands, and the confused birds blown from their migratory routes. Early Polynesian adventurers sailed across the Pacific in double canoes. Spanish galleons en route to the Philippines and British navigators in search of a Northwest Passage were soon followed by pious Protestant missionaries, shipwrecked sailors, and rowdy Irish poachers escaped from Botany Bay -- all wanderers washed ashore. This is true of many cultures, but in Hawaii, no one seems to have left. And in Hawaii, a set of myths accompanied each of these migrants -- legends that shape our understanding of this mysterious place. Susanna Moore pieces together the story of late-eighteenth-century Hawaii -- its kings and queens, gods and goddesses, missionaries, migrants, and explorers -- a not-so-distant time of abrupt transition, in which an isolated pagan world of human sacrifice and strict taboo, without a currency or a written language, was confronted with the equally ritualized world of capitalism, Western education, and Christian values.
