Once I heard that Dr. Wu—senior master of taiji quan, Daoist medicine, and qi cultivation—was going to write about the traditional twelve-animal zodiac with Kevin T. Hill—accomplished musician and student of Eastern and Western philosophies, history, and religion—I simply could not wait! Anyone, even those with little previous knowledge of Daoism and Asian philosophies, will find initial chapters of this book a fabulous introduction, as the authors take the time to explain important basic terms and relation Asian wisdom to similar concepts of the West. The second part provides an excellent reference guide to the zodiac of the twelve animals, in each cases explaining how they function as well as their key traits, abilities, cultural and spiritual concepts, internal and external aspects, and mutual compatibility. I highly recommend it to students of the Chinese zodiac and all those curious and enthusiastic about the insights and knowledge Daoism has to offer."" - Thomas Durand" I was very excited to get my hands on Light in the Darkness.
