Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, built at what was once the hypocenter of an atomic blast, is the most visible sign of the city''s renaissance as a force for peace in 21st century politics. But it is not the only reminder of the spirit of Hiroshima. Less well-known are the scores of "survivors" dotting the metropolitan landscape. These treasured trees, shrubs, and groves date from before the bombing on August 6th 1945. They were spared from annihilation, and are now carefully tended by the schools, homes, temples, and shrines entrusted by fate with their care. Based on a three-year stay in the city by the authors, this pictorial journey into the heart of Hiroshima documents more than 50 sites and 75 trees. There are maps, bilingual place names and addresses, snapshots of local culture, and overviews of each species of plant. Never-before published translations of essays by the a-bomb survivor Tamiki Hara are also included as meditations on the meaning of peace in difficult times.

Mouse Guard – Os Pequenos Guardiões é uma série de quadrinhos de David Petersen. Na trama, ratos antropomorfizados lutam para viver em segurança e prosperar em meio a predadores e a um mundo hostil. Assim, a Guarda foi formada: mais do que soldados que lutam contra intrusos, eles são guias para os ratos comuns que procuram uma jornada sem perigo de uma aldeia para outra. A Guarda patrulha as fronteiras, encontra rotas seguras por territórios perigosos e terrenos traiçoeiros, vigia as mudanças do tempo e mantém os Territórios dos ratos livres de predadores. Eles fazem tudo com dedicação para que possam não apenas existir, mas viver de verdade. Em Outono de 1152, Saxon, Kenzie e Lieam, três Guardiões, recebem a missão de encontrar um mercador desaparecido que nunca chegou ao seu destino. A busca pelo rato perdido revela muito mais do que esperavam, como a existência de um traidor nas fileiras da Guarda. Mouse Guard is a David Petersen''s comic series. In this universe, anthropomorphized mice struggle to live safely and prosper amongst harsh conditions and a host of predators. Thus the Mouse Guard was formed: more than just soldiers that fight off intruders, they are guides for common mice looking to journey without confrontation from one hidden village to another. The Guard patrol borders, find safeways and paths through dangerous territories and treacherous terrain, watch weather patterns, and keep the mouse territories free of predatory infestation. They do so with fearless dedication so that they might not just exist, but truly live. In Fall 1152, Saxon, Kenzie and Lieam, three of the Guard, received a mission to find a missing merchant that never arrived at his destination. Their search for the missing mouse reveals much more than they expect, as they stumble across a traitor in the Guard''s own ranks. This is the Brazilian edition, published in Brazilian Portuguese by Conrad Editora in January 2022.

"Tales of the I Ching" is a remarkable collection of orchestral works composed by David Petersen and inspired by the titular ancient Chinese classic of wisdom and divination. As with the text that served as its inspiration, the score is intended to take listeners on a profound journey through the shifting landscapes of human experience. Fusing Eastern philosophy with elements of the Western classical tradition, each of the 72 evocative soundscapes reflects the timeless principles of the I Ching''s trigrams and hexagrams, evoking the elemental energies of heaven, lake, fire, thunder, wind, water, mountain, and earth - in all combinations. Performed with virtuosic flair, these captivating compositions invite the listener to discover the transformative power of music as a gateway to self-knowledge and spiritual understanding. The music itself is richly textured and dramatically expressive, with the different instrumental voices weaving intricate contrapuntal lines that build in complexity and intensity, yet provide scope for the interpretation of dynamics. There is a wonderful sense of ebb and flow, tension and release, as the music navigates the polarities and transitional states central to the I Ching''s teachings. From the bold, heroic strains of "The Creative" to the more introspective, subtle expressions of "The Gentle", the composer displays an impressive mastery of orchestral color and a keen sensitivity to the symbolic resonances of each hexagram. This is music that seems to emanate from a deep, almost primal well of spiritual wisdom, inviting the listener on a transformative journey of self-discovery. I hope you enjoy getting to know this 6-month labor of love.

David Petersen was a low-odds, dark-horse chance that his family, the robbery division of the San Antonio Police Department and the 186th District Criminal Court decided to take. The 16 year sentence he accepted in plea bargaining was for two of twelve admitted counts of aggravated robbery. The chance was conferring them concurrently - two eight-year sentences - with trustee time credit possibilities.The promise was a number of habitual offender sentences, effectively for life, if he didn''t get it right the first time.The tenor of opioid problems in the public health arena back then in 1977 was greatly and hardly different than it is today. Opiates was the terminology, and ORT (Opioid Replacement Therapy) was the Traitement du jour (Treatment of the day).Today, armed with considerable advances in pharmacology and neurobiological understanding, many of the drug names and treatment theories have new names. Yet, the place that opiates, or opioids if you wish have become more deeply and harmfully embedded in the lives and mindset of western culture.Few make their way out. Many die in untimely manner, and many more spend their lives in serial episodes of brief respite from active addiction. David Petersen is an independent mental health practitioner, consultant and interventionist who is offering insights that are less popular, and expect less from the managed care, judicial and treatment establishments. More, he says, will have to come from the addicts, and their families and communities.
