Collecting Asia
Today, more than eighty of North America's most prestigious institutions have established East Asian libraries or collections. Their combined holdings number in excess of 16 million books in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, with more than 350,000 items being added every year. The wealth of this material provides an invaluable resource for the study of Asia. This history of acquisition provides remarkable insight into our cultural legacies. This book offers a vibrant and fascinating look at the development of twenty-five major East Asian libraries in North America and the pioneers who helped shape them.
Stepping Forth into the World
The Chinese Educational Mission was one of the earliest efforts at educational modernization in China. As part of the Self-Strengthening Movement, the Qing government sent 120 students to New England to live and study for a decade, before they were abruptly summoned home to China in 1881. This book, based upon extensive research in local archives and newspapers, focuses on the experiences of the students during their nine-year stay in the United States. Historians of modern China will find this book highly relevant because of its detailed account of one of the major projects of the Self-Strengthening Movement. To date, there are at most two credible studies in English and Chinese on the Chin...
Protestants Abroad
Between the 1890s and the Vietnam era, many thousands of American Protestant missionaries were sent to live throughout the non-European world. They expected to change the people they encountered, but those foreign people ended up transforming the missionaries. Their experience abroad made many of these missionaries and their children critical of racism, imperialism, and religious orthodoxy.

Physical Layer Security in Wireless Communications
Physical layer security has recently become an emerging technique to complement and significantly improve the communication security of wireless networks. Compared to cryptographic approaches, physical layer security is a fundamentally different paradigm where secrecy is achieved by exploiting the physical layer properties of the communication system, such as thermal noise, interference, and the time-varying nature of fading channels. Written by pioneering researchers, Physical Layer Security in Wireless Communications supplies a systematic overview of the basic concepts, recent advancements, and open issues in providing communication security at the physical layer. It introduces the key con...
