«An invaluable book for college classes related to Chinese studies, as well as comparative religion, anthropology, philosophy, and literature. Students of allied arts such as Chinese medicine and martial arts will appreciate Adler's treating theory and practice as being equally important; the Yijing is not just an academic pursuit.»

Contemplating the I Ching

«This is the best summary in any Western language of the origins, structure, evolution, cultural significance, and transnational travels of the Yijing (Scripture of Change), one of the most important texts in all of Chinese history.»

Richard J. Smith, Rice University

«Taking a culturally comparative perspective, Adler does a superb job of demonstrating how "The Yijing represents the 'essence' of Chinese culture".»

Choice

«It not only offers an excellent introduction to the Yìjīng itself and would prevent new students from adopting misunderstandings pertaining to the text, it also gives the reader a strong introduction to the wider religious landscape that the Yìjīng has historically shaped and been shaped by.»

Joseph Chadwin, Religious Studies Review
