Tai Chi, a Chinese martial art developed based on the laws of nature, emphasises how 'to conquer the unyielding with the yielding.' The recent observation of star formation shows that stars result from the interaction between gravity, turbulence and magnetic fields. This interaction again follows the natural rules that inspired Tai Chi. For example, if self-gravity is the force that dominates, the molecular cloud will collapse isotropically, which compresses magnetic field lines. The density of the yielding field lines increases until magnetic pressure reaches the critical value to support the cloud against the gravitational force in directions perpendicular to the field lines (Lorentz force). Then gravity gives way to Lorentz force, accumulating gas only along the field lines till the gas density achieves the critical value to again compress the field lines. The Tai Chi goes on in a self similar way.

This volume is composed of four major in-depth yet pedagogic review chapters on the subject of star formation, written by the foremost researchers in the field. Recent infrared and millimeter radio observations are respectively reviewed by Charlie Lada and Phil Myers, both of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The theoretical work is reviewed by Frank Shu of UC-Berkeley on the gravitational collapse of dense cores in a giant molecular cloud to form sunlike stars and Bruce Elmegreen of IBM-Watson on the gravitational instability, leading to large-scale star formation. They have written at a level most suitable for graduate students or young researchers who want to develop their research interest in the field, with the most complete literature survey to date. This volume is not an ordinary conference proceedings, but a textbook to be used in graduate study in astrophysics. The volume also includes other short and interesting contributions from Doug Lin of UC-Santa Cruz, Paul Ho of Harvard-Smithsonian, Masa Hayashi of Tokyo University, Debra Elmegreen of Vassar, Jing-Yao Hu of Beijing Observatory, Guo-Xuan Sung of Shanghai Observatory, Chi Yuan of CCNY and ASIAA, and Wen-Ping Chen of Central University, Taiwan.

"With Tai Chi in hand, the world is mine. Change the world, change the future! "

There are numerous mysteries in the vast universe, and Kan’s Theorem is the key to that door of wisdom. This work, written by Mr. Zhu Shouwen and edited by Dr. Xu Yanfen, lead us to a mysterious and charming world with profound philosophy and unique opinions. Kan’s Theorem is a theorem collection which deeply reflects upon the mysteries of celestial origin and law, and provides a consummate interpretation of Laozi’s profound philosophical thoughts in the Tao Te Ching. In this work, Mr. Zhu blends the genesis of mythology, physics, metaphysics, religious theology and philosophical thinking, and shows us a unique and complete outlook on the universe. Utilizing a tactful integration of the profound philosophical thoughts from the Tao Te Ching and cosmographic mysteries, this book shows us a cosmic picture of the unity of heaven and man. It vividly depicts the harmonious co-existence between celestial bodies, and allows us to deeply realize the intrinsic connection and interdependence within the cosmic inventory. The book is not only about cosmology but also the philosophy of life. Through deep interpretation of Laozi’s thoughts and by combining the Taoist wisdom and outlook on the universe, it offers us a brand-new thinking pattern. It tells us that we can feel harmonious and satisfied from within when we understand the laws of the universe and stay consistent with morality. Then we can find true happiness and serenity from life. Kan’s Theorem is not only a theoretical work but also an operation guideline with practical guidance. It leads us to be based in morality, respect nature and pursue inner peace and harmony by using Laozi’s philosophical thoughts in life. We can be enlightened and encouraged whether we are in hardships and difficulties, or are pursuing career success and happiness. To sum up, Kan’s Theorem integrates wisdom, philosophy and practice. If you desire to explore the mysteries of the universe, comprehend the truth of life, and appreciate inner harmony and satisfaction, then read this book, and let it lead you to a journey full of wisdom and enlightenment!

A person who had fused with the primordial Tai Chi diagram from birth, due to the lack of a concept of "love", failed his transference. The Kunlun Mirror then brought his soul back to the continent of magic to reincarnate. Let's see how he experiences the emotions that almost made him disappear from this world! The front may be written in an easy and funny way! Perhaps everyone would think that the protagonist of the book was too abnormal, but there was no need to worry. Even if he was an abnormal person, they would still write him down, no?! I'll start over after I'm reincarnated! ~ ~ (Since the ten divine tools of the ancient times have different opinions, I have chosen ten of them, please do not hold grudges against me!) Collection! Collection! Collection! Ticket!

A modern man traversing space and time had arrived at the prehistoric period, he did not expect that he would actually become the great villain of the Demon Master, Kun Peng. In order to become a saint, he went through many plans, and finally became a saint.
