At Arm’s Length
Literary critics and authors have long argued about the importance or unimportance of an author’s relationship to readers. What can be said about the rhetorical relationship that exists between author and reader? How do authors manipulate character, specifically, to modulate the emotional appeal of character so a reader will feel empathy, awe, even delight? In At Arm’s Length: A Rhetoric of Character in Children's and Young Adult Literature, Mike Cadden takes a rhetorical approach that complements structural, affective, and cognitive readings. The study offers a detailed examination of the ways authorial choice results in emotional invitation. Cadden sounds the modulation of characters a...

Inflammation in Respiratory and Neurological Diseases and the immune-interaction of the lung-brain axis
Despite great advances in diagnosis and treatment that we witnessed in the last decades, over a billion people suffer from both respiratory and neurological diseases each year, which poses great threats to the public health and economic burden worldwide. In many instances, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms are still poorly understood, which significantly limits the efficacy of therapeutic methods. In this regard, lines of evidence pinpoint the important role of immunity and inflammation in both respiratory disorders (e.g., pulmonary hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, etc.) and neurological ones (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, depression, etc.). The acc...
Rewriting Early Chinese Texts
Rewriting Early Chinese Texts examines the problems of reconstituting and editing ancient manuscripts that will revise—indeed "rewrite"—Chinese history. It is now generally recognized that the extensive archaeological discoveries made in China over the last three decades necessitate such a rewriting and will keep an army of scholars busy for years to come. However, this is by no means the first time China's historical record has needed rewriting. In this book, author Edward L. Shaughnessy explores the issues involved in editing manuscripts, rewriting them, both today and in the past. The book begins with a discussion of the difficulties encountered by modern archaeologists and paleograph...
The Classics of Surprising Strategies; 经世奇谋 Jing Shi Qi Mou
The book is a classic of wisdom compiled by Yu Lin, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty. It chooses famous characters and stories in Chinese history. The collection is as famous as Feng Menglong's The Think Tank. Because the stories collected are all ingenious schemes, it has been misunderstood as a bypass and imprisoned for a long time. In fact, this book provides us with a wealth of historical knowledge and profound strategies to govern the world. By drawing lessons from the wisdom of the ancients in life, such as prevention of danger, acting on camera, responding at random, changing dangers into barbarians, relieving hardships and so on, we can gain the truth and experience of life, so that the world can become wise, sober and open-minded. The book also chooses a large number of classical stories about self-cultivation, family unity, governing the country and peace of the world, especially elaborating on the strategy and experience of living in the world, which still has certain enlightening significance at present.
