The Book of Tea discusses the impact of "Teaism" on all aspects of Japanese culture and life. Kakuzō elaborates on the relationship between the tea ceremony, Zen, and Taoism. He also talks about the tea masters and their contribution to the tea ceremony.

Kakuzō, a Japanese philosopher, art expert, and curator, was insightful and witty—greatly responsible for bridging Western and Eastern cultures. Having been taught English from an early age, he made his writings accessible to the Western mind.

In The Book of Tea, he discusses topics such as Zen and Taoism, but also the secular aspects of tea and Japanese life, emphasizing how Teaism taught the Japanese many things, most importantly, simplicity. Kakuzō argues that tea-induced simplicity affected the culture, art, and architecture of Japan.

Interwoven with a rich history of Japanese tea and its place in Japanese society, this book includes poignant commentary on Asian culture and our ongoing fascination with it, as well as illuminating essays on art, spirituality, poetry, and more. A delightful cup of enlightenment from a man far ahead of his time.

Alexia Maccon, the Lady Woolsey, awakens in the wee hours of the mid-afternoon to find her husband, who should be decently asleep like any normal werewolf, yelling at the top of his lungs. Then he disappears, leaving her to deal with a regiment of supernatural soldiers encamped on her doorstep, a plethora of exorcised ghosts, and an angry Queen Victoria.

But Alexia is armed with her trusty parasol, the latest fashions, and an arsenal of biting civility. So even when her investigations take her to Scotland, the backwater of ugly waistcoats, she is prepared: upending werewolf pack dynamics as only the soulless can. She might even find time to track down her wayward husband, if she feels like it.

Changeless is the second book of the Parasol Protectorate series: a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking.
