Review: The Yijing: A Guide by Joseph Adler

[tacrab]

The Yijing: A Guide, by Joseph Adler (Oxford University Press, 2021, paperback) is a wonderful resource on the Yijing (I Ching) for all levels, covering history, philosophy, comparative divination, and more. This is one of the most clearly written works on theYijing for newcomers, aimed more or less at college students, and is priced affordably. However, there's plenty in here, too, for those who've engaged more deeply with the Yijng. Adler is well-known for his in-depth studies and translations of Zhu Xi's (1130–1200) Yijing writings.
