The Emporium of the World
This volume, by offering a score of new insights derived from a wide variety of recent archaeological and textual sources, bring to life an important overseas trading port in Southeast Asia: Quanzhou. During the Song and Yuan dynasties active official and unofficial engagement in trade had formative effects on the development of the maritime trade of Quanzhou and its social and economic position both regionally and supraregionally. In the first part subjects such as the impact of the Song imperial clan and the local élites on these developments, the economic importance of metals, coins, paper money, and changes in the political economy, are amply discussed. The second part concentrates on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of archaeological data and materials, the investigation of commodities from China, their origins, distribution and final destinations, the use of foreign labour, and the particular role of South Thailand in trade connections, thus supplying the hard data underlying the main argument of the book.
Exercise and Biomechanical Intervention in the Prevention, Management and Rehabilitation of Neuro-musculoskeletal Disorders, volume II
Neuromusculoskeletal biomechanics has been a popular topic in understanding the disorders of the human motor system during daily, clinical, and sport-specific activities. Recent studies have been conducted to examine the neuromusculoskeletal control (e.g., postural control, gait stability and falling), the mechanisms of sports injuries (e.g., Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Achilles Tendon, hamstring strain, and bone fracture) and clinical diseases (e.g., joint Osteoarthritis and cerebral palsy, etc.), and the task-based functional assessment. However, previous biomechanical approaches, such as the traditional lab-based experiments, musculoskeletal (MSK) modeling and Finite Element (FE) simulati...

Visual and Material Cultures in Middle Period China
Eight studies examine key features of Chinese visual and material cultures, ranging from tomb design, metalware, ceramic pillows, and bronze mirrors, to printed illustrations, calligraphic rubbings, colophons, and paintings on Buddhist, landscape, and narrative themes. Questions addressed include how artists and artisans made their works, the ways both popular literature and market forces could shape ways of looking, and how practices and imagery spread across regions. The authors connect visual materials to funeral and religious practices, drama, poetry, literati life, travel, and trade, showing ways visual images and practices reflected, adapted to, and reproduced the culture and society around them. Readers will gain a stronger appreciation of the richness of the visual and material cultures of Middle Period China.
