Rezensionen

"...offers all one might have wanted to know about yin-yang.... Wang's scholarship is deep.... anyone will be able to appreciate the impressive way she has of demonstrating the astonishing richness of an ancient culture, and a way of thinking about nature and the human world that few in the West have seriously considered.... Recommended...."
