Kehidupan adalah kesadaran bahwa kita hidup, benar-benar hidup. Meski bernapas dan bergerak sebagaimana umumnya makhluk hidup, namun tidak semua manusia menyadari bahwa mereka hidup. Ada banyak orang yang hidup hanya sekadar hidup. Mereka lahir, tumbuh besar, dewasa, menua, dan kemudian mati. Hidup bukan hanya bernapas, tapi juga menyadari bahwa kita benar-benar hidup. Kehidupan tidak sekadar untuk bangun tidur, beraktivitas, sampai kemudian tidur lagi, tapi juga menyadari arti diri kita dalam kehidupan yang luas ini. Dalam tujuan itu, hidup setiap orang adalah pelajaran, dan kita tumbuh bersama pelajaran-pelajaran yang kita petik dari hari-hari yang kita jalani. Buku ini menyampaikan tiga hal penting dalam kehidupan. Tentang arti hidup, pelajaran tentang cinta, dan panduan menuju kebahagiaan. Ditambah seratus catatan renungan untuk hidup yang lebih baik, Notes from Heart akan menjadi teman belajar menuju kehidupan yang lebih berharga.

The Arts of China to A.D. 900 investigates the beginnings of the traditions on which much of the art rests, moving from Neolithic and Bronze Age China to the era of the Tang Dynasty around A.D. 900. William Watson discusses in lively detail a wide range of art forms and techniques: porcelain and pottery, lacquer, religious and secular painting and sculpture, mural painting, monumental sculpture and architecture.

He discusses the iconography, the technique and the function of every art form. Written by one of the most distinguished scholars in the field of Chinese art and archaeology, this lavishly illustrated book will be a valuable resource for both experts and beginners in the field.
