Selected Poems of Chia Tao (Jia Dao)
Chia Tao (779-843), an erstwhile Zen monk who became a poet during China’s Tang Dynasty, recorded the lives of the sages, masters, immortals, and hermits who helped establish the great spiritual tradition of Zen Buddhism in China.
Presented in both the original Chinese and Mike O’Connor’s beautifully crafted English translation, When I Find You Again, It Will Be in Mountains brings to life this preeminent poet and his glorious religious tradition, offering the fullest translation of Chia Tao’s poems to date.

Let my people go surfing – Yvon Chouinard

What the publisher says:
the education of a reluctant businessman
As a child, Yvon Chouinard moved with his father, a French Canadian blacksmith, to Southern California with little English and less money. Today his company, Patagonia, earns more than $230 million a year and is one of the most environmentally responsible corporations on the planet. This is the amazing story of a young man who found escape by scaling the world’s highest peaks, of an innovator who used his father’s tools to fashion equipment that changed climbing forever, and of the entrepreneur who brought doing good and having a blast into the heart of a business like no other.
“Three wonderful books rolled into one: a moving autobiography, the story of a unique business, and a detailed blueprint for hope.” — JARED DIAMOND, professor of geography at UCLA, author of the books Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse, and winner of a 1998 Pulitzer Prize
