For a few weeks of the late Spring of 2002 I was the guest of the well-known book-author-interview internet-site "Inkwell.vue" (run by The Well discussion-forum of San Francisco, where I've been a member since 1993).  A bunch of us talked about my book Spirit of the Mountains and the related issues.  The slightly-edited transcript is posted here.  It contains a lot of good background info about San-shin and Korea, stories from my research, and discussion about it all.  I think the whole discussion went off pretty well, but you can decide for yourself.

and clicking on "
Figure of the Week" in the middle of the page and then, in the "Last Week"
section, click on 2004/03/18 (Ma

Also, two of my new articles are now featured by
