The Search
Follow a little boy and a penguin on their little adventure up in the mountain in search of something very special—Lonely Not. Along the way, they found smallness, eternity, freedom, tranquility, trust, waltz of the water, songs of the mountain and eventually, each other. This simple yet poetic picture-book features beautiful water-colour illustrations inspired by the idyllic landscapes of outskirt Wonju (원주), Korea where the author stayed for near to 3 months while on a residency.

Life’s Little Instructions... Stand tall and hold your head high; Life is not about pleasing everyone. Life’s Little Moments... The most memorable moments are most probably those moments you didn’t give up. Life’s Little Ironies... Someone calls you their best friend, but will stab you in your back at the most convenient moment. Life’s Little Pleasures... Finding joy in the little things that choose to move around us silently, it may not necessarily hold great value but it’s where happiness and sweet blossoms bloom. Main character: Jugi Hobby: Woolgathering Age: Immutable Motto: If you can dream about it, then take the necessary steps, and your dream will become reality. Who is Jugi? It could be you, It could be me, It could be now, It could be the future. Everyone has a right to life; Everyone has the right to say no.

Creating the New Man
The idea of eliminating undesirable traits from human temperament to create a "new man" has been part of moral and political thinking worldwide for millennia. During the Enlightenment, European philosophers sought to construct an ideological framework for reshaping human nature. But it was only among the communist regimes of the twentieth century that such ideas were actually put into practice on a nationwide scale. In this book Yinghong Cheng examines three culturally diverse sociopolitical experiments—the Soviet Union under Lenin and Stalin, China under Mao, and Cuba under Castro—in an attempt to better understand the origins and development of the "new man." The book’s fundamental c...

Chinese as a Second Language Assessment
This book brings together 13 original research papers that address emerging issues in the assessment of Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) in five major areas, including standards in CSL assessment; development of CSL tests; assessment of diverse knowledge and skills; computer-supported assessment; and CSL assessment in relation to instruction and teachers’ assessment competence. It goes beyond the psychometric testing of Chinese and provides cutting-edge examinations of the interfaces of assessment with sociology of language, acquisition, pedagogy, and modern technologies, as well as teacher education. Given its unique features and broad range of topics, the book offers an intriguing and valuable resource, not only for scholars and researchers but also teacher educators and assessment practitioners who are directly or indirectly involved in CSL assessment.
