<DIV><p><B>The tenth anniversary edition of William Martin's free-verse interpretation of the <I>Tao Te Ching,</I> written expressly for those coming into the fullness of their wisdom</B></p><p>Lao Tzu's <I>Tao Te Ching</I>, one of the world's most widely read books of wisdom, reminds its readers that the sage has been venerated in China for thousands of years. In this free-verse interpretation of the <I>Tao</I>, William Martin subtly and powerfully captures the complex emotions connected with growing older. He encourages today's sages to recognize their inestimable worth in a youth-centric world that often goes astray: ?Will I be able to harvest my life in compassion and love for the world? Will I find in my own heart the wisdom for which I long? This question trumps all others for me. I suspect it is the same for you.”</p><BR></DIV>
