Is bamboo a food, a grass, or a wood? One little boy knows that it's all three! Told in both English and Chinese, The Magic of Bamboo is the story of a little boy whose house was surrounded by many bamboo forests and streams. He lived with bamboo all year round. In spring, he ate delicate and delicious bamboo shoots; in summer, he crafted pliant bamboo stalks into baskets and brooms that he used as tools for fishing; in fall, he used mature bamboo to build kites that flew high and far; in winter, pork cooked with bamboo shoots was the celebratory dish for his family's New Year's Eve dinner. Even the special gift he received from his grandfather on New Year's Eve was made of bamboo. Winsomely told and delightfully illustrated, The Magic of Bamboo is a tale that will enchant readers of all ages.

Colonial civil servant, Confucian scholar, and collector of Chinese art, Sir James Stewart Lockhart spent more than forty years in Hong Kong and Weihaiwei — the former British leased territory in northern China. His career reflects tension and upheaval in the emerging colony of Hong Kong and in a China rapidly giving way to civil war. In her vivid biography of Stewart Lockhart, Shiona Airlie presents a portrait of an imperial official who fought against racism, strove to preserve the Chinese way of life, and was treated by Chinese mandarins as one of their own. Sir James Stewart Lockhart (1858–1937) was a Scot who served for more than 40 years as a colonial official in Hong Kong and Weihaiwei — Britain’s leased territory in northern China. In Hong Kong (1879– 1902) he rose to the highest levels and brought a refreshingly different approach to colonial rule. He immersed himself in Chinese culture, made friends with local leaders, strengthened Chinese institutions, and fought against racism. When the colony was extended in 1898 he was given the important task of delineating the boundaries of the New Territories and organising its administration. As Britain's first Civil Commissioner (1902–21) in remote Weihaiwei, he brought a unique approach to administration — a combination of Scottish laird and Confucian mandarin — and maintained peace and order during troubled times. A fine Chinese scholar, he amassed a large collection of Chinese coins, art and artefacts. Shiona Airlie's lively account of Stewart Lockhart's life and times makes use of his private papers and extensive archival research. This classic study provides valuable insight into the character, career and friends of an imperial official of rare talent and achievement.

Bamboo’s amazing versatility, strength, and beauty have given it a larger role in human culture than any other plant. Both sustainable and plentiful, it has been used for millennia to make objects ranging from clothing and housing to more exotic luxuries like phonograph needles and children’s toys, to name but a few. This acclaimed sourcebook--part history, part illustrated catalog, part cultivation guide--details the myriad uses of bamboo, along with an immense bounty of information and lore on how to grow, maintain, and harvest this extraordinary plant; how to use it in craft and construction projects, including floors, fences, papers, and play equipment; and bamboo’s place in the literary, visual, and musical arts. An encyclopedic roster of more than 1,200 bamboo species is a book in itself, as is author David Farrelly’s A-to-Z catalog of artifacts made from bamboo: acupuncture needles, blowguns, bridges, kites, ships, violins, windmills, and a thousand other things. Strong, flexible, and beautiful in both its natural and finished states, bamboo is an abundant resource that could beneficially replace many less sustainable materials currently in use, and continue to transform our culture in the process.

As the Bamboo Shoots reveals the author's deep roots, the life and family stories of five generations, and more than a century of Chinese history. It is a collection of the true, the good and the beautiful. It is a life journey of challenges, adventures, dreams, and visions. A dream at the age of 17 to attend graduate school in America and see the world brought a young innocent girl from Taiwan, Celine Yu Hua Tan, to the U.S. Having grown up sheltered and pampered, with limited survival skills, Celine faced many trials in the new land. Celine transplanted her cultivated roots, like bamboo, and became part of a large grove the U.S. where she was forced to grow strong quickly. Although there were lots of tears, her deep roots and the love from her family helped her face obstacles and overcome struggles without fear and without regrets. She learned to be like bamboo, swaying in the blowing wind and surviving vigorous storms. She stands tall with pride and honor. Always! For the author, challenges are opportunities to discover one's hidden talents and potential. She loves to learn new things. To her, learning enriches life and brings joy, excitement, and satisfaction. Celine firmly believes that one person can make a difference. She taught in three vastly different countries Taiwan, the U.S.A., and China, and her students around the world made her path joyful, vibrant, and spiritual. Her passion for teaching and love for her students go far beyond the classroom, time and space. The true, the good, and the beautiful are what the author searches for and treasures in her life. She treats each of her friends as a precious pearl or a gorgeous gem. She strings all of them together and creates an irreplaceable necklace kept close to her heart. Celine's family makes her life more energetic and complete, filled with love, joy, and laughter. She lives and shares the most blessed retired life she has envisioned to be surrounded by her family and precious grandchildren. As the Bamboo Shoots is one of Celine's dreams and one of her visions. It is the way she has always lived her life. These are the roots and values she wants to pass on to her descendants. The author wishes to share and spread her positive energy like bamboo growing in the sunshine, inspiring and empowering others to reach their potential."
