A Critical History of New Music in China
By the end of the nineteenth century, Chinese culture had fallen into a stasis, and intellectuals began to go abroad for new ideas. What emerged was an exciting musical genre that C. C. Liu terms "new music." With no direct ties to traditional Chinese music, "new music" reflects the compositional techniques and musical idioms of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European styles. Liu traces the genesis and development of "new music" throughout the twentieth century, deftly examining the social and political forces that shaped "new music" and its uses by political activists and the government.

Stable ultrathin lithium metal anode enabled by self-adapting electrochemical regulating strategy
Ultrathin lithium (Li) metal foils with controllable capacity could realize high-specific-energy batteries; however, the pulverization of Li metal foils due to its extreme volume change results in rapid active Li loss and capacity fading. Here, we report a strategy to stabilize ultrathin Li metal anode via in-situ transferring Li from ultrathin Li foil into a well-designed three-dimensional gradient host during a cycling process. A three-dimensional carbon fiber with gradient distribution of Ag nanoparticles is placed on the ultrathin Li foil in advance and acts as a Li reservoir, guiding Li deposition into its interior and thus alleviating the volume change of ultrathin Li foil anodes. Hence, a high reversibility of Li metal is achieved and Li pulverization is suppressed, which can be witnessed by a long cyclic life in the symmetric cells. The proposed method offers a versatile and facile approach for protecting ultrathin Li metal anodes, which will boost their commercial application process.
Advances in Data Mining. Applications and Theoretical Aspects
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th Industrial Conference on Advances in Data Mining, ICDM 2017, held in New York, NY, USA, in July 2017. The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 71 submissions. The topics range from theoretical aspects of data mining to applications of data mining, such as in multimedia data, in marketing, in medicine, and in process control in industry and society.
The Diaoyu Islands
This book conducts detailed research and analysis on the relevant literature and historical evidence regarding the 640-year history of ancient and modern China and other countries since the Ming Dynasty, and clarifies the chain of evidence concerning the Diaoyu Islands in terms of the facts and jurisprudence. Divided into seven chapters, the book includes over 220 original documents and maps. From the perspective of international law and historical fact, the author clarifies common misconceptions and refutes the opinions on the Diaoyu Islands issue put forward by Japanese officials and some scholars in recent years. By examining the historical documents and related maps of China, Europe and the United States, the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom, and Japan, the book presents convincing arguments that the Diaoyu Islands are historically Chinese territory, as one of the affiliated island groups of Taiwan. The book will be of considerable interest to scholars of Chinese foreign policy, Asian politics, security studies and international relations.
The Ritual and Mythology of the Chinese Triads
The extensive ritual and mythological lore of the Chinese Triads form the scope of this new paperback in Brill’s Scholar’s List. In it the reader will find a critical evaluation of the extant sources together with a true wealth of context. The core of the book is formed by a close reading of the initiation ritual, including the burning of incense, the altar, the enactment of a journey of life and death, and the blood covenant. Different narrative structures are also presented. These include the messianic demonological paradigm, political legitimation, and the foundation of myth. Triad lore is placed in its own religious and cultural context, allowing radically new conclusions about its origins, meanings and functions. This book is of special interest to social historians, anthropologists, and students of Chinese religious culture.
