We have put into our (www.paradigm-pubs.com) references section everything someone would need to analyze and apply a source oriented transmission approach as well as a number of the articles and research documents related to Chinese cognitive aesthetics, etc. These are free resources. In association with " Soothing the Troubled Mind " we posted twenty some case histories, literally translated, both to keep the book price down and to give people studying Chinese some samples. These too are free. This works fairly well and we will do this again where there are features to books that the merely curious or less serious reader would rather not pay for, but which are useful to those who have a specific interest. For a subscription service we are proceeding slowly and thinking in terms of a more interactive approach. There is a significant capital cost, as well as the considerable on-going effort of keeping any site free of hackers, email harvesters and those who would misuse your private data, so what I am doing now is building the foundation technologies bit-by-bit to keep the development costs under control and to let people's needs show us the way. There will be one, probably within a couple of years, and it will include access to what amounts to an encyclopedia of translated Chinese information. But, the exact when and how of the on-line distribution are still vague. Bob bob Paradigm Publications www.paradigm-pubs.com 44 Linden Street Robert L.
