 I Ching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the late 1960s, the comic book Wonder Woman temporarily changed the title character from a superhero to a secret agent, and placed her under the guidance of an elderly mentor named "I Ching".

 Article - The Book of Changes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The changes in the weather are not predictable like the phases of the moon: they may bring good fortune or the calamity of floods or drought; they will certainly have a direct, significant impact on people's lives.
It is hard for us, living lives governed by the clock and more-or-less protected from the daily shifts in the weather, to appreciate the full symbolism of the early ideogram, but we are more than ever in need of a way to understand our present and gain insight into the future.
The Book of Changes is not simply a means of predicting change, but a way of harmonising with it.

 Review | Book of Changes by Kristine McKenna   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Kristine McKenna's Book of Changes, a collection of interviews released by comics publisher Fantagraphics, is a beautiful book.
Taken as a whole, this book is not then so much an "unmediated" window into the lives of 38 celebrities, but rather an account of McKenna interacting with these people on the topics that engage her imagination.
As an added bonus, and certainly a bonus resulting from this book being published by Fantagraphics, every interview is graced with a new portrait of the interviewee by one of a roster of 22 of today's most respected cartoonists.

 Changes to the Book of Mormon
It is important to note that the changes in the Book of Mormon text are actually insignificant to the number of changes that have been made in the Bible throughout the centuries.
But, in spite of the ambiguity, the Book of Mormon does clearly teach that Jesus is the son of God, and the son of the Father; that he is appropriately addressed by the titles "God" and "Father;" and, that he has a Father and God who is a separate and distinct person.
To some, even a few changes may seem too many in a book translated under divine inspiration and accepted by members of the Church as sacred scripture, but investigation discloses that the majority of such changes are conceptually insignificant; they were made primarily to improve the grammar or to clarify the meaning.

 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE BOOK OF MORMON
For most of the LDS church's 150 year history, it was staunchly maintained by the church leaders that there were no changes in the Book of Mormon of a doctrinal nature.
Although there are 3,913+ changes in the Book of Mormon; not all of them are minor.
Many other citations could be given, but "out of the mouths of two or three witnesses..." it is evident that although the Lord supposedly dictated the Book of Mormon letter by letter, he could not spell, keep doctrine or characters straight, and even had serious problems with grammar and logic.
