A Potter's Notes on Tai Chi Chuan
Margy Emerson draws on sixteen years as a professional potter and nine years studying Tai Chi to show what the process of making art and the practice of moving meditation have in common - and what they can teach us about an approach to life. The author spent six years with her original teacher, Kao Ching-hua, who learned the art as a girl in pre-Revolutionary China. Kao always emphasized the practical application of Tai Chi Chuan. A Potter's Notes was written during a sabbatical Margy gave herself that marked a major transition in her life. She moved from Illinois to northern California and took a year off from her work in clay; she resumed her work with new clays and glazes, all powerfully influenced by her practice of Tai Chi.

George Westinghouse
While most know Thomas Edison for his invention of the light bulb, his counterpart, George Westinghouse, is too often overlooked. Westinghouse, however, became known as one of the most prolific inventors and businessmen of the Industrial Revolution. This biography reveals the man whose teachers suspected was mentally disabled and who quit college after one semester, yet founded more than 60 different companies employing 50,000 people, and received 361 U.S. patents. He later fought the "Battle of the Currents" (AC vs. DC) with Thomas Edison and won. Westinghouse, with his engineers, provided power and light for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. They harnessed the massive power of Niagara Falls and sent it over wires to light Buffalo and eventually the Northeast. His electric engines powered trains, and his air brakes stopped them. His scientific contributions forever changed the world.
