Minus One
About the Book King is wealthy and alone. Despite having everything one might ever want, his life is empty with a deep ache that his wealth cannot fill. Or can it? King thinks hard. He wants a son. He does the math: “I am just one, minus one, zero.” But maybe, it is simply a matter of finding the “what, when, and how.” It is this “awakening” that drives King’s fierce quest for a son. But how? Soon King connects with a young Chinese underground geneticist in the hidden corners of the Dark Web. There the two embark on an extraordinary journey where personal ambition and genetic science collide.
The Sinitic Encounter in Southeast China through the First Millennium CE
This work engages two of the most neglected themes in China’s long history: the integration of lands south of the Yangtze River into China and its impact on Chinese culture. The roots of Chinese civilization are commonly traced to the North. For millennia after the foundations of the northern culture had been laid, the South was not part of its mandate, and long after the imperial center had claimed political control in the late first millennium BCE, it remained culturally distinct. Yet for the past one thousand years the South has been the cultural, demographic, economic—and, on occasion, political—center of China. The process whereby this was accomplished has long been overlooked in ...

Women in Chinese Martial Arts Films of the New Millennium
Women and Gender in Chinese Martial Arts Films of the New Millennium, by Ya-chen Chen, is an excavation of underexposed gender issues focusing mainly on contradictory and troubled feminism in the film narratives. In the cinematic world of martial arts films, one can easily find representations of women of Ancient China released from the constraints of patriarchal social order to revel in a dreamlike space of their own. They can develop themselves, protect themselves, and even defeat or conquer men. This world not only frees women from the convention of foot-binding, but it also "unbinds" them in terms of education, critical thinking, talent, ambition, opportunities to socialize with differen...
