Tao and the City - Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching

Combining a highly readable new translation of the timeless verses of the "Tao Te Ching "with lushly textured color photographs, "Tao and the City "is the first version of this ancient Chinese text to locate itself definitively in New York City. Betsy Wyckoff's photographs of New York lights, surfaces and reflections are a revelation in themselves, and lend new depth, poignancy and immediacy to the revelatory passages of the "Tao." These words and images provide a contemplative counterpoint to recent photographs of tragedy and heroism in New York, and an unexpected view of the city through the discerning eye of a long-term resident. Elysabeth Wyckoff has published a wide variety of books with Barrytown/Station Hill Press, including "Over-coming Migraine, Talking Apes and Dancing Bees "and "Indian Summer: A Native American View of Nature." She lives in New York City.
