Daoism is one of the great philosophical and religious traditions that grew and flowered in China. Unlike the great Western religions, Daoism has no one God or even a founding prophet. One of its central beliefs is that each person must follow his or her own path to the Dao, or 'Way of Life.' By being so universal and yet so personal, Daoism has exerted a significant influence on the spiritual life of many cultures both in Asia and throughout the world. ""Daoism, Third Edition"" traces the progress of Daoist thought, from the great Daodejing, or ""The Book of the Way and Its Power"" by Laozi, to the contemporary ""Tao of Physics"" by Fritjof Capra. This revised edition also examines the restoration of Daoism under China's religious freedom clause, the slow rebirth of Daoist monasticism, renewed interest in Daoism in China and abroad, and the impact of tourism on the monastic tradition. Coverage includes: meditation and the concept of wuwei; Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism; the growth and spread of religious Daoism; art and literature within Daoism; and political turbulence in the 20th century.

Daoism by Paula Hartz tells you a lot about the history of Daoism. She talks about when Daoism was started and how it was spread around China. She also talks a lot about yin and yang. The book talks about Daoism during different dynasties. This book listed the eight immortals of the daoist gods. It talks about the daoist festivals and chinese festivals they celebrate. If you have to do a project on Daoism this book will help you get a good understanding of the history of this religion.
