Synopsis

Applying the lens of an ancient Chinese philosophy that was arguably the world's first environmentalism and is now, with its emphasis on compassion, frugality, and humility, more relevant than ever, Turtle Planet, mixes science, fantasy, magical realism, fables, and truth in a joyful, irrepressibly creative, and utterly unique literary experience. Turtle Planet is a must for any reader who loves nature, cherishes animals, and celebrates ideas.

À propos de l'auteur

Daoist Monk Yun Rou (formerly Arthur Rosenfeld) received his academic education at Yale, Cornell, and the University of California and was ordained a Daoist monk at the Chun Yang (Pure Yang) Taoist Temple in Guangzhou, China. Blending literature, biology, and medicine with an orthodox Daoist education, his writings and teachings propagate Daoist ideas and focus on personal cultivation, environmental conservation, and political and social justice.

From 2010 - 2013, he hosted the hit National Public Yelevision show Longevity Tai Chi with Arthur Rosenfeld. Yun Rou's work has appeared in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Parade, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, WebMD, Fox Business News, and numerous other websites and newspapers. His 15 books have won many critical awards, including both a Gold and Silver 2018 Nautilus Book Award for Mad Monk Manifesto. His work The Cure for Gravity was a 2002 National Book Award finalist.

He began formal martial arts training in 1980, was named 2011 Tai Chi Master of The Year at the World Congress on Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and opened and closed the 2014 International Tai Chi Symposium in Louisville, Kentucky. In 2016, the American Heart Association profiled Yun Rou as an inspirational resource. He currently resides in Tucson, AZ.
