Confucius: The Golden Rule
Written by Russell Freedman, Illustrated by Frédéric Clément

“Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself.”
This was one of the guiding principles of life that Confucius taught his followers,
five centuries before Jesus taught the Golden Rule with similar words.

His principles of fair government influenced the very writers and thinkers who, thousands
of years later would develop the democratic ideals of our own government. Yet, today, in
the western world, the great Chinese philosopher is still commonly portrayed as a comic
sage, a loony philosopher whose remarks always begin “Confucius said.”

Renowned biographer Russell Freedman’s fascinating, witty introduction to the life and
teachings of Confucius should finally set the record straight. Using the rigorous, lively
technique that his readers have come to expect, Freedman traveled to China’s Shandong
Province to visit Confucius’s birthplace, interviewed his descendents, and plumbed the
famous Analects - the teachings of the sage, written down by his followers.

The result is an enlightening, inspiring, and touching look at one of the world’s most
influential leaders. Accompanied by the atmospheric paintings of Frédéric Clément.


REVIEWS
CONFUCIOUS
“Confucius will fascinate readers who give him a try, and they may end up wiser for the effort.
A must for all collections.” - Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Newberry Medal winner
Freedman delves deep into Chinese history in his intelligent, comprehensive biography of the
5th-century B.C. philosopher Confucius…. Clément’s moody, ethereal illustrations complement
the thoughtful text, yet play up the mystery of Confucius’s life.” - Publishers Weekly, starred review
CONFUCIOUS
“Politics, education, spirituality: the philosopher has something to say in all these areas, and
Freedman compellingly conveys the profundity of his thoughts… The world today could hardly
do better than to ponder the wisdom of this sage.” - School Library Journal, starred review
CONFUCIOUS
“Freedman’s Confucius jumps off the page as a fiery revolutionary… The fascinating narrative
seamlessly intersperses stories from the Analects with Chinese history and biographical information
about Confucius, focusing on his philosophical brilliance… Clément’s muted, elegant paintings of towns,
temples and the bucktoothed Confucius himself have a suitably ancient feel with jagged borders and fading
colors.” -- Booklist, starred review
CONFUCIOUS
“It is no small achievement to construct a cogent biography of a man about whom little verifiable
fact is known, while concurrently interpreting Eastern philosophy for a Western
middle-school audience…. Freedman’s success is due largely to his tight focus on the ironies of
Confucius’s life - the reformer who never wrote down his philosophy, the secular thinker whose
ideas later accrued the trappings of religion.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Adults looking
for a book that makes sense of our confused and troubling time might do well to introduce their children
to the life of Confucius.” - New York Times

We have 2 new copies of this book, in hardback
$15 each

Magnolia is a 14-inch plush velour doll dressed in a pink Chinese suit.

invisible red threads connecting her (or him) to all the important
people in her life, and that as she/he grows these threads become
shorter (and may tangle, but never break), drawing her closer to
these special people...

Magnolia carries a tiny red silk thread in her pocket...
and her heart is embroidered of the same red silk thread,
as symbols of hope & love that Magnolia represents.

Acer Aspire One 722-0828  * NEW = Unopened box with all factory items included

Quote from PC Magazine:

In a market dominated by tablet PCs, netbooks still have a presence. And with AMD's release of its Fusion APUs,
netbooks have gained some oomph in terms of processing power.
The Acer Aspire One AO722-0828 features a Fusion APU and rivals Intel's Atom processors in performance.
With a huge 500GB hard drive, HDMI port, and 4GB of memory,
this netbook is loaded. However, it suffers from a relatively short battery life that may hinder users on the go.

Design
The AO722-0828 has an Espresso Black chassis, with a glossy lid that features a ripple design.
The system measures one inch thick only because it lacks an optical drive, and weighs
2.98 pounds, which still puts it on the lighter side for 11-inch netbooks.

The 11.6-inch widescreen has a standard 1,366-by-768 resolution.
Its display provides ample screen real-estate to view a website in full-screen—far more comfortable then the cramped 10-inch,
1,024-by-600 screens found on many netbooks. The keyboard is slightly less than full-sized, but I was able to adjust easily to the change.
Its chiclet keys were big and soft to type on; the touchpad feels smooth and provided a wonderful navigating experience.

Features
The AO722-0828 has an HDMI video output—something not seen on most netbooks—VGA analog video output, three USB 2.0 ports,
Ethernet jack, headphone and mic jacks, and a media card reader (xD/SD/MMC). There's also 802.11n Wi-Fi.

Its 500GB, 5,400rpm hard drive is huge compared with other netbooks.

Performance
The AO722-0828's AMD C-60 APU and 4GB of RAM helped it perform well in processor-intensive tasks,
scoring 0.46 points in Cinebench R11.5.

Its 49Wh battery lasted 5 hours 41 minutes on our MobileMark 2007 test, which may last you through a cross-country flight.

The AO722-0828 is a well-performing netbook, and it's hard to pass up such a sweet price tag.
