Round and Square: New Religion (6)

From Round to Square (and back)

For The Emperor's Teacher, scroll down (↓) to "Topics." It's the management book that will rock the world (and break the vase, as you will see). Click or paste the following link for a recent profile of the project: http://magazine.beloit.edu/?story_id=240813&issue_id=240610

A new post appears every day at 12:05* (CDT). There's more, though. Take a look at the right-hand side of the page for over four years of material (2,000 posts and growing) from Seinfeld and country music to every single day of the Chinese lunar calendar...translated. Look here ↓ and explore a little. It will take you all the way down the page...from round to square (and back again).
*Occasionally I will leave a long post up for thirty-six hours, and post a shorter entry at noon the next day.

New Religion (6)—Yin and Yang

A year ago on Round and Square (18 April 2012)—Seinfeld Ethnography: Bathroom Book

My new (weekly) column on the UK website "New Religion—Religion, Politics, Analysis" is up. This week I wrote about the concepts of yin and yang (I call it "Tea for Two"). This is not your basic introduction to the concepts. There's a little bit of "story," and perspectives you may not know if you have only heard the terms used here and there in everyday speech. Even if you are a veteran of yin-yang conceptual battles, the pictures are nice.
