Eschatology and Ecology
This book raises the question of why Korean people, and Korean Protestant Christians in particular, pay so little attention (in theory or practice) to ecological issues. The author argues that there is an important connection (or elective affinity) between this lack of attention and the other-worldly eschatology that is so dominant within Korean Protestant Christianity. Dispensational premillennialism, originally imported by American missionaries, resonated with traditional religious beliefs in Korea and soon came to dominate much of Korean Protestantism. This book argues that this, of all forms of millennialism, is the most damaging to ecological concerns. It also suggests how Korean churches may effectively respond to the ecological challenge.
Surgical Treatment of Colorectal Cancer
This book presents an Asian perspective on how the treatment of colorectal cancer can be optimized and standardized in ways that take into account technological advances and the trend towards individually tailored therapy. Readers will find careful, well-illustrated descriptions of the standard surgical techniques for rectal cancer and colon cancer that have contributed to recent improvements in 5-year survival rates in the Asia-Pacific region, where the incidence of colorectal cancer has been rising alarmingly due to lifestyle changes. The vital role now being played by minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic options receives detailed scrutiny. Extent and timing of surgery, patient safety, risk of complications, and unresolved issues are all discussed. Furthermore, the use of surgery within the context of multimodal management including chemotherapy and radiotherapy is explained and an integrated approach for stage IV and recurrent disease is described. The book will serve as a valuable reference for young surgeons who are in training, experienced practitioners who want to enhance their knowledge and skills, and all others who wish to learn about this field.

Mobile Subjects
By drawing attention to mobility in subjectivity - to the contested nature of subjectivity in the processes of mobility - this volume seeks to connect the experiences of the Korean diaspora with those of the homeland, thereby enriching an understanding of Korean nationalism from its flip side.
IT Development in Korea
This book investigates the contextual factors that led to Korean society becoming ‘broadband heaven’ — the most wired nation in the world — by scrutinizing the historical contexts surrounding the Korean Information Infrastructure (KII) project (1995–2005), which aimed to establish a nationwide high-speed backbone network, as well as its later evolution, which involved redesigning the public infrastructure. The book details the hidden mechanisms and the real elements of building the ‘broadband heaven’: the global constraints conditioning its telecom policies, the dense state–capital linkages, and the bureaucratic desire for social control. It draws on the state-in-society appr...
Recent Developments in Microbiology, Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Sciences
The Conference brought together innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of Medical, Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences to a common forum. The primary goal of the conference was to promote research and developmental activities in Medical, Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Another goal was to promote scientific information interchange between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners working in and around the world.
Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer
This book presents surgical techniques and detailed illustrations of laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer, focusing on effective, concise steps and techniques. It describes in detail the perigastric anatomy, and the incidences of each anatomical structure are analyzed statistically. It also discusses lessons learned and best practices in the management of gastric cancer patients, and includes video captures of precise operational techniques -essential resources for gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgeons. Given its close connection to clinical practice, it offers a valuable reference work for general surgeons and residents.
