... a comprehensive overview of Laozi's Daoism for anyone unfamiliar with the DDJ and Daoism. It is clearly written, thematically formulated, and supplemented with helpful commentaries... [the English translation] is lucid and clear while following the poetic spirit of the original text, which makes the book delightful to read.
