Synopsis

Find out what's "fixed" about a star—and why a planet conversely seems confused! Then come back to Earth to focus on steady livelihoods, annual events, constant wars, and permanent peace. See how "constant river sand" traveled from India through China into Buddhism and even further from there. And learn how a poisoning scandal from 1955 could help Fukushima victims.

Revision history:

Jan. 22, 2020:

  • p. 2: Etymology Box: Replaced the old Henshall etymology with the new one. Shortening the etymology,  altered the page layout significantly, which meant cutting a page and moving sidebars.
  • p. 14: Added a link to the Kanshudo games.

May 21, 2016: 

  • p. 2: I had referred to 1 Wikipedia page as two separate pages, so I fixed that.
  • p. 14: An image of the kanji was flopped! I fixed that, too.
