About the book (from the dust jacket)
What is TE? What is Taoism?
What has Piglet to do with either?
Te (pronounced "Deh" ) is Chinese for Virtue. Taoism is a Chinese philosophy. (Practically speaking, it's more than "Chinese," and more than "philosophy," but we'll get into the whys and hows of that further on, inside this book). And Piglet has quite a bit to do with both. What exactly? In the first place . . . That is, he.What we mean is. Perhaps we'd better let the author do the explaining. In any event, Piglet not only has quite a bit to do with Te and Taoism: he also has quite a bit to do with you and me-as have Te and Taoism-whoever we may happen to be, whatever we may happen to be doing. And that is a Very Useful Thing to Know. As you will see.
About the author (from the dust jacket)
BENJAMIN HOFF is an Oregon writer, photographer. musician. and composer with a fondness for Forests and Bears. And Piglets A Bachelor of Arts (he thinks his degree was in Asian Art. but then. he hasn't looked at it for a while, and it may not be), he was until recently a Japanese-trained fine pruning specialist. He now writes full time. Well. most of the time. The rest of the time he practices Taoist yoga, Tai Chi Ch'üan, stunt kite-flying, boomerang shaping and (ouch!) throwing, and Taoist tennis, whatever that is. He also enjoys sleeping and lying the floor.
