• Finally, some clarity about how the Empty Force work!!!!!!
  IMHO:
  This book is for intermediate and advanced students of internal martial arts who are already familiar with the form, the feeling of chi and standing meditation. (for beginners I suggest "Chi: How to Feel Your Life Energy by Waysun Liao")
  Liao explains extremely clearly and simply how the empty force, which he calls jing, works. He uses the scientific method to explain it.

• A Good Supplementary
  I recommend this book for the study of Tai Chi. It don't do you much good if you don't already have an accomplished teacher, but if you do, it will help explain things in more detail.

• A good explanation of the philosophy and intent of Tai Chi
  This book has less to do with the physical part of Tai Chi practice and more of the history and philosophy of the art. The author explains such concepts as Chi, Jing, and their uses for martial arts applications. The Tai Chi classics are translated here with explanation and additional comments. I found these first sections of the book especially useful. The book concludes with a description of the form - but I do not recommend learning Tai Chi from a book; seek out a qualified instructor.

• Tai Chi Internal work
  This book contains very important notes on internal work.
  For me, they cover some "blind spots" wich I can not find in
  numerous other Tai Chi sources.
  It is one of the best Tai Chi books!!!
