Zen Shiatsu: How to Harmonize Yin and Yang for Better Health
The basic approach of oriental medicine is to emphasize natural powers of self-cure and to evolve a therapy that is entirely in harmony with the entire organism of the patient. Shiatsu is one of the oriental medical disciplines that have made great progress in such therapy. The common conception that shiatsu is no more than the application of strong digital pressure on single points on the body misrepresents the truth. Shiatsu is based on a full oriental medical system, which explains the human body in terms of a network of meridians through which flows an energy called Ki in Japanese. If the flow of Ki through the meridians is smooth, the person is healthy. If the flow becomes sluggish, the person falls ill. The nature of the flow is analyzed on the basis of the Chinese conception of the duality Yin and Yang into two states called Kyo and Jitsu. In the Kyo state, the flow of Ki is sluggish, and the body functions are dulled. In the Jitsu state, the flow is too rapid, and the body functions are overactive. A therapy that fails to take these states into consideration can only further retard the activity of sluggish functions and further stimulate hyperactive ones. In short, such therapy can produce no beneficial effect at all. The way to restore the proper balance to the system of Ki energy is the subject of Zen Shiatsu, the first book on the topic ever published in the English language. In this richly illustrated work, the author thoroughly covers to-nification-sedation, meridian shiatsu (Zen shiatsu). In addition to the services he performs as a therapist, he has devoted many years of study and much effort to developing new shiatsu ideas. Zen Shiatsu is the result of all these efforts. The inclusion of a chapter on self-shiatsu makes this an unusual and valuable book from the standpoint of people interested in home remedies. .

Beyond the God Delusion: How Radical Theology Harmonizes Science and Religion
It is ironic but true that most theologians do not understand God in the same way as is being criticized so heavily in such works as Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion In fact, argues Richard Grigg, most theologians left behind an unalloyed, classical theism about two hundred years ago. Yet, Grigg argues, the many efforts to reconcile contemporary scientific worldviews with Christian faith stop shy of the radical reconception of God begun in contemporary theology and made necessary by contemporary science. Grigg's erudite and provocative book calls for a more radical theology, in which notions of divine transcendence and immanence, personhood, power, and role in the evolving universe are radicalized and reconceived. Building on the work of such theologians as Sallie McFague and Gordon Kaufman, and with a strong grasp of the particulars of contemporary cosmology and biology, Grigg's exciting work challenges us to an intellectual honesty as sturdy as our faith..

Customs Valuation and Transfer Pricing: Is It Possible to Harmonize Customs and Tax Rules? (Series on International Taxation)
Although valuation is fundamental to both tax and customs liability in international transactions, values calculated by the two regimes can differ, often markedly, in situations where no clear rules of transfer pricing apply. This book is a problem-solving guide for lawyers charged with valuating transactions in their client's or company's best interests. Through detailed examination of relevant guidelines, transfer pricing methodologies, and business realities prevailing among multinational enterprises, Customs Valuation and Transfer Pricing offers a cogent and convincing account of how tax and customs transfer pricing regimes may be harmonized. Among the essential elements of this important thesis, the author discusses the following in depth: + the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines; + the GATT/WTO Valuation Code (GVC); + the arm's length principle; + methods, both traditional and new, of determining whether the parties' relationship influenced the price; and + additions to and deductions from the customs value. The study concludes with an analysis of the circumstances and conditions under which the introduction of transfer pricing compensatory adjustments to transaction value would be consistent with Article 1 of the GVC. Customs Valuation and Transfer Pricing demonstrates that, with all the tools now available in today's global economy, there is little reason to leave disparity between tax value and customs value unchallenged. This book will continue to be an important resource for business lawyers for many years to come..
