Galloping and Hurdles
Hua grew up in a small town by the Yangtze River in Central China as the only child of an intellectual father and a feisty mother. As China opened itself up to the rest of the world in the 1990’s, Hua at the age of nineteen left China to embark on an extraordinary journey that took her to four countries in two decades. This book tells a fascinating story about Hua who studied in Switzerland; fell in love with an abusive man ten years her senior; rescued by an English gentleman who later became Hua’s husband; moved to England alone and re-discovered her identity in this foreign country; established a successful career by working for some of the biggest multinational companies in the world; and moved back to Asia with her family and weathered unprecedented change. Hua candidly recounts some of her most personal moments of struggling with cultural conflicts, losing self-identity, dealing with failures and rebuilding resilience. This is a book of self-discovery, self-reflection and self-improvement. It will resonate with people who are pursuing their dreams and inspire them to unleash their full potential.
Contemporary Chinese Fiction by Su Tong and Yu Hua
The book explores the coming-of-age fiction of two of the most critically acclaimed and frequently translated contemporary Chinese authors, Yu Hua and Su Tong; it is the first in-depth book-length treatise in English about the contemporary Chinese Bildungsroman. Although various individual contemporary Chinese novelists and individual works of Chinese fiction have previously been discussed under the rubric of the Bildungsroman, none of these efforts has approached the level of comprehensive and comparative analysis that this book brings to the genre and its social contexts in contemporary China. This book will pique the interests not only of scholars and students of Chinese and comparative literature, but also of historians and social scientists with an interest in the region.
Chinese Science Fiction
This is the first book in English to focus on the transitional period of Chinese science fiction - a key prelude to the increasingly global stature of Chinese science fiction in the twenty-first century.
Smart Hydrogel Modelling
The science of mathematical modelling and numerical simulation is generally accepted as the third mode of scienti?c discovery (with the other two modes being experiment and analysis), making this ?eld an integral component of c- ting edge scienti?c and industrial research in most domains. This is especially so in advanced biomaterials such as polymeric hydrogels responsive to biostimuli for a wide range of potential BioMEMS applications, where multiphysics and mul- phase are common requirements. These environmental stimuli-responsive hydrogels are often known as smart hydrogels. In the published studies on the smart or stimu- responsive hydrogels, the literature search clearly indicates that...
Meshless Methods and Their Numerical Properties
Meshless, or meshfree methods, which overcome many of the limitations of the finite element method, have achieved significant progress in numerical computations of a wide range of engineering problems. A comprehensive introduction to meshless methods, Meshless Methods and Their Numerical Properties gives complete mathematical formulations for the m
