Collection of short stories appeared in various publications.
The Nivison Annals
In his last essay just weeks before his death at the age of 91, David S. Nivison says, "Breaking into a formal system - such as a chronology - must be like breaking into a code. If you are successful, success will show right off." Since the late 1970's Nivison has focused his scholarship on breaking the code of Three Dynasties (Xia, Shang, Zhou) chronology by establishing an innovative methodology based on mourning periods, astronomical phenomenon, and numerical manipulations derived from them. Nivison is most readily known in the field for revising (and then revising again) the date of the Zhou conquest of Shang, and for his theory that Western Zhou kings employed two calendars (His so-call...
Chinese Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is hot. China is hot. Combining these two concepts could therefore be a dangerous act, as it may cause overheating. Chinese entrepreneurs are indeed the subject of a rapidly growing body of literature, academic and popular. However, the bulk of it tends to focus on a few aspects. There are the biographies of ‘famous’ entrepreneurs. While informative, these are usually of a non-academic nature. Academic studies tend to focus on the political and economic environment in which present day Chinese entrepreneurs have to operate. Both types of publications slight the entrepreneurial identity. This study aims at filling this gap with its core question: why do some people become entrepreneurs? The authors have analysed the life stories of a number of Chinese private entrepreneurs to reveal how the entrepreneurial identity of each of them has emerged at the cross section of an number of other identities. This book therefore contributes to a better understanding of Chinese entrepreneurship and the study of entrepreneurship in general.
The Economics of Privacy
A foundational new collection examining the mechanics of privacy in the digital age. The falling costs of collecting, storing, and processing data have allowed firms and governments to improve their products and services, but have also created databases with detailed individual-level data that raise privacy concerns. This volume summarizes the research on the economics of privacy and identifies open questions on the value of privacy, the roles of property rights and markets for privacy and data, the relationship between privacy and inequality, and the political economy of privacy regulation. Several themes emerge across the chapters. One is that it may not be possible to solve privacy concer...

On her sister's wedding night, something unbelievable happened. From then on, Xiaoxiao was in a difficult position. On one hand, she couldn't resist her handsome and powerful brother-in-law.

Xiaoxiao wanted to leave this deformed relationship, but she didn't expect that her brother-in-law would use her sister to threaten her. Love and hate are entangled, what should she do?
The Origins of Chinese Writing
This study explores the evidence for Chinese writing in the late Neolithic (3500-2000 BCE) and early Bronze Age (2000-1250 BCE) periods. Chinese writing is often said to have begun with little incubation during the late Shang period (c. 1300-1045 BCE) in the middle-lower Yellow River Valley area as a sudden independent invention. This explanation runs counter to evidence from Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Mesoamerica that shows that independent developments of writing generally undergo a protracted evolution. It also ignores archaeological data from the Chinese Neolithic and early Bronze Age that reveals the existence of signs comparable to Shang characters. Paola Demattè takes this data into acc...

Picaros y listos de las minorias de China
El éxito de estas narraciones no cabe duda radica en su sencilla comprensión. Los breves relatos que narran los episodios de estos personajes son fáciles de leer y entender hasta para los lectores infantiles o juveniles. Otra razón tal vez se haya debido al especial momento político de la República Popular China, pues siendo una temática constante a lo largo de los mismos el rechazo a la opresión de los mandarines, terratenientes y gobernadores por un ingenioso personaje representante del pueblo llano, muestran la raigambre de la tradición revolucionaria entre estos pueblos, y su infatigable resistencia, aunque sólo sea con la sátira y la burla literaria, ante la continua opresió...
