The Phoenix and the Sword
Cursed with immortality and destroying fire, Aili Fallon will cross life and death to find the truth. Determined to escape her past, Aili refuses to let anything impede her training as a combat nurse. But when the woman she loves binds her with blood and disappears, Aili is transformed into a magical killer, a blood-bound healer, an immortal being. Gambling with her own existence, she crosses through phoenix gates into a new world. But when she is reunited with her lost love, she learns they have been pawns in an ancient game of immortals, the keystone in a demon's curse. Will Aili's newfound power and the secrets of her past destroy her, or can she and her beloved phoenix unravel the binding of life and death? The Phoenix and the Sword is the first book in the Crane Moon Cycle, a queer epic fantasy novel set in a world of spiritual powers, past lives, and beings of myth and legend. Unexpected, multilayered, and beautiful, The Phoenix and the Sword begins a tale of love and adventure that crosses centuries and worlds.
Bifurcation Theory and Methods of Dynamical Systems
Dynamical bifurcation theory is concerned with the changes that occur in the global structure of dynamical systems as parameters are varied. This book makes recent research in bifurcation theory of dynamical systems accessible to researchers interested in this subject. In particular, the relevant results obtained by Chinese mathematicians are introduced as well as some of the works of the authors which may not be widely known. The focus is on the analytic approach to the theory and methods of bifurcations. The book prepares graduate students for further study in this area, and it serves as a ready reference for researchers in nonlinear sciences and applied mathematics.
The Poet Zheng Zhen (1806-1864) and the Rise of Chinese Modernity
In The Poet Zheng Zhen (1806-1864) and the Rise of Chinese Modernity, J. D. Schmidt provides the first detailed study in a Western language of one of China's greatest poets and explores the nineteenth-century background to Chinese modernity, challenging the widely held view that this is largely of Western origin. The volume contains a study of Zheng's life and times, an examination of his thought and literary theory, and four chapters studying his highly original contributions to poetry on the human realm, nature verse, narrative poetry, and the poetry of ideas, including his writings on science and technology. Over a hundred pages of translations of his verse conclude the work.
Dynamical Systems - Proceedings Of The International Conference In Honor Of Professor Liao Shantao
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Dynamical Systems in Honor of Prof. Liao Shantao (1920-97). The Third World Academy of Sciences awarded the first ever mathematics prize in 1985 to Prof. Liao in recognition of his foundational work in differentiable dynamical systems and his work in periodic transformation of spheres. The conference was held in Beijing in August 1998. There were about 90 participants, and nearly 60 talks were delivered.The topics covered include differentiable dynamics, topological dynamics, hamiltonian dynamics, complex dynamics, ergodic and stochastic dynamics, and fractals theory. Dynamical systems is a field with many difficult problems, and techniques are being developed to deal with those problems. This volume contains original studies of great mathematical depth and presents some of the fascinating numerical experiments.
Global Bifurcation Theory and Hilbert’s Sixteenth Problem
On the 8th of August 1900 outstanding German mathematician David Hilbert delivered a talk "Mathematical problems" at the Second Interna tional Congress of Mathematicians in Paris. The talk covered practically all directions of mathematical thought of that time and contained a list of 23 problems which determined the further development of mathema tics in many respects (1, 119]. Hilbert's Sixteenth Problem (the second part) was stated as follows: Problem. To find the maximum number and to determine the relative position of limit cycles of the equation dy Qn(X, y) -= dx Pn(x, y)' where Pn and Qn are polynomials of real variables x, y with real coeffi cients and not greater than n degree. The s...
Numerical Methods for Bifurcation Problems and Large-Scale Dynamical Systems
The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) devoted its 1997-1998 program to Emerging Applications of Dynamical Systems. Dynamical systems theory and related numerical algorithms provide powerful tools for studying the solution behavior of differential equations and mappings. In the past 25 years computational methods have been developed for calculating fixed points, limit cycles, and bifurcation points. A remaining challenge is to develop robust methods for calculating more complicated objects, such as higher- codimension bifurcations of fixed points, periodic orbits, and connecting orbits, as well as the calcuation of invariant manifolds. Another challenge is to extend the app...
The Crane Moon Cycle: An LGBTQ Epic Fantasy Duology
Across wars and worlds, through death and life, in mortal and immortal hearts, the binding of the phoenix holds. Aili Fallon is determined to escape her past, focused only on training as a combat nurse. But when the woman she loves binds her with blood and disappears in flames, Aili gambles with her own existence to find her again. Crossing into a forgotten life and death, Aili is trapped in a curse a thousand years in the making. As human wars rage and demons hunt the defenseless phoenix, Aili and her beloved Liu Chenguang fight to heal the wounds of two lives, with their own hearts and millions of mortal souls at stake. The Crane Moon Cycle Duology contains the full books of The Phoenix and the Sword and The Shoreless River, a complete epic fantasy of queer love, loss, and redemption, set in a world of spiritual powers, past lives, and beings of myth and legend.

A Companion to Yi jing Numerology and Cosmology
Translations of the Yi jing into western languages have been biased towards the yili ('meaning and pattern') tradition, whereas studies of the xiangshu ('image and number') tradition - which takes as its point of departure the imagery and numerology associated with divination and its hexagrams, trigrams, lines, and related charts and diagrams - has remained relatively unexplored. This major new reference work is organised as a Chinese-English encyclopedia, arranged alphabetically according to the pinyin romanisation, with Chinese characters appended. A character index as well as an English index is included. The entries are of two kinds: technical terms and various other concepts related to the 'image and number' tradition, and bio-bibliographical information on Chinese Yi jing scholars. Each entry in the former category has a brief explanation that includes references to the origins of the term, cross-references, and a reference to an entry giving a more comprehensive treatment of the subject.
