Special relativity - motion is relative, except for light which moves at a constant speed. Doesn't matter if the observer is moving towards it or away from it. Accelerated motion (increases mass) and gravity are interwoven.

Tale of the great goddess.

Covered Harishchandra's tragic story and Shatrujit's son's story so far. Now on to the eight types of siddhis, which are the signs of nirvana.

Kamsa's story.

Thumb and Thimble is NOT a sweet, little fairy tale about a thumb-sized girl who marries a fairy prince.

What happened to Lynch? I'm not a fan of non-linear storytelling.

Boring.

That poor Daoist monk was executed for no good reason! Sun Ce is evil, too. Haunting of Sun Ce by Yu.

Cao Cao is evil incarnate! First of all, he took his son's horse while trying to escape from the battlefield and that poor boy died trying to save his father. He must have had a lot of sons I think. The death of one hardly bothered him. Secondly, that poor doctor was cruelly tortured and beaten. He is worse than Dong Zhuo.

Lu Bu is dead.

Dear Cao Cao. Tao Qian had nothing to do with the murder of your family. Are you stupid?

Yuan Shao was a bad leader.

Yellow Turban Rebellion during Emperor Ling's reign, Han Dynasty.

There are no maps in this edition. Where is Wancheng?

Much ado about shrubbery. Surprisingly, Karl Gutzlaff's Mission was a success. Monopoly is a trade practice universally disliked.

The Jiaqing emperor didn't have a fully functional navy. It was an oversight on his part.

The Macartney Mission to China in 1793 was a complete failure, partially due to the hubris of the British.

Fungi can solve complex routing problems. I guess we don't need algorithms and computers then (rolls eyes). The author seems a bit besotted with fungi. They are not even half as interesting as cephalopods.

Octopus belongs to the mollusk family. Interesting how bacteria use time to decide whether to move towards a source or away from it.

Thomas Coram, the founder of London's Foundling Hospital, was a good man.

What on earth is a strangling angel?
