But in the arc of a year, as one season gives way to the next, transformation awaits. One day at the sea, both overwhelmed and replenished by the sun's vital heat, her perspective will change forever.

Compiled by a leading scholar of Chinese poetry, Clouds Thick, Whereabouts Unknown is the first collection of Chan (Zen) poems to be situated within Chan thought and practice. Combined with exquisite paintings by Charles Chu, the anthology compellingly captures the ideological and literary nuances of works that were composed, paradoxically, to "say more by saying less," and creates an unparalleled experience for readers of all backgrounds.Clouds Thick, Whereabouts Unknown includes verse composed by monk-poets of the eighth to the seventeenth centuries. Their style ranges from the direct vernacular to the evocative and imagistic. Egan's faithful and elegant translations of poems by Han Shan, Guanxiu, and Qiji, among many others, do justice to their perceptions and insights, and his detailed notes and analyses unravel centuries of Chan metaphor and allusion. In these gems, monk-poets join mainstream ideas on poetic function to religious reflection and proselytizing, carving out a distinct genre that came to influence generations of poets, critics, and writers. The simplicity of Chan poetry belies its complex ideology and sophisticated language, elements Egan vividly explicates in his religious and literary critique. His interpretive strategies enable a richer understanding of Mahayana Buddhism, Chan philosophy, and the principles of Chinese poetry.

The case of the "Missing Beaumont Children" has been forged into Australia's psyche and soul like no other crime. A crime so shocking that it has often been described as a defining moment in this country's history. After 50 years of intense police investigation the whereabouts of Jane (9), Arnna (7) and Grant Beaumont (4) is still a mystery; Australia's most famous unsolved crime. On the morning of January 26, 1966 the three children set off from their Somerton Park home on a bus to Glenelg to enjoy a brief excursion at Adelaide's most popular beach. Apart from a brief sighting from the family postman early on that afternoon, there has been no other confirmed sightings of the children since. The 'mystery' of the children's disappearance has often overshadowed the 'misery' the Beaumont parents have had to endure. This book takes the reader inside the trauma of Nancy and Grant; from the panic and heartbreaking first few days to the utter despair in later years. Only seven years after the Beaumont disappearance, two girls Joanne Ratcliffe (11) and Kirste Gordon (4) were abducted from Adelaide Oval during a football match. Were the two abductions connected? How could they not be? Author Michael Madigan delves into the sordid world of the numerous 'persons of interest' that have at times been suspects in this case and forensically answers the question 'who could do such a thing?'

Join Harriet in her search to reunite her father with his five lost sisters--Veronica, Harmonica, Majolica, Japonica, and Thessalonika.

An intricately carved lacquer box holds the clue to the whereabouts of a fabulous Chinese art collection. From the Boxer Rebellion at the beginning of the century to the massacre of the students in Tiananmen Square last spring, the competing forces of tradition and modernism buffet the box's possessors, who protect the location of the treasure in the face of torture and death. Robert Walden, university professor and latest guardian of the box, and beautiful Christina Chang become both hunter and prey in a desperate chase from the United States to Taiwan and mainland China. First novelist Oxnam is president of the Asia Society, so this is rich in details of Chinese history and present-day customs; happily they enhance rather than overpower the story. Though the plot tends to disintegrate into improbability as it rushes toward conclusion, this will appeal to readers interested in China who enjoy romantic adventure.- Elsa Pendleton, Computer Sciences Corp., Ridgecrest, Cal.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
