The I Ching

Centred on the study of sixty-four 6-line figures (The Hexagrams) representing the yin and yang of the ten thousand things under Heaven, The Classic of Changes or I Ching is one of the oldest books in the world. The author explores the processes of change and balance as reflected in the hexagrams for the contemporary reader.
