Taoist Texts: Ethical, Political, and Speculative (Forgotten Books) - Softcover
This is a small selection of varied texts from the Taoist Canon, including yet another translation of the Tao Te Ching. As intimated in the subtitle, some of the books relate to ethics, some to politics, and some to internal alchemy. (Quote from sacred-texts.com)
