The Bloody Experience's Hell Reeducation Camp

Time was meaningless. Death was waiting. Anything touching ground zero that showed the barbarous revenge of the Vietcong ended in a dried bloodbath for whoever served South Vietnam’s government. This all happened after North Vietnam’s last invasion succeeded on April 30, 1975. Humanity absented itself into the hell of a prison that was called re-education. Vietcong killed the soldiers and public servants of South Vietnam using the cruel methods of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Prisoners were executed, tortured, lacked food, endured illness without medicine, and were subjected to forced labor, which created spiritual intimidation. The Vietcong killed about 165,000 among 800,000 prisoners, ...

Asia's Great Lineage

The Mac Dynasty spanned 150 years and encompassed several nations. In Vietnam, the M c Dynasty's founder, Emperor M c ng Dung, was not a traitor as the LE Dynasty (1009-1225) claimed. Rather, M c ng Dung seized power due to the corruption of the LE Dynasty. Author Quang Hong Mac, a descendant of Mac's family, is now telling the world of his great and historic surname. But his book is not only about the ancient past, it also tells of the author's courageous survival during the Vietnam War and its aftermath. Settling into a new life in the United States after escaping North Vietnamese imprisonment following the war, the author began researching his ancestors who dated back to 770 B.C., so they would never be forgotten. He spent four decades collecting documents and pictures, and speaking to relatives and witnesses. The Mac family's contributions spanned many eras and also impacted the history of China and Korea. The Mac's descendants succeeded as scholars, and were pioneers in the Mekong Delta at Ha Tien, establishing a dynasty that ruled Vietnam for 150 years.

The Avenging Sword of Mê-Linh

This Vietnamese drama/play written in verse depicts the history of Trung Träc (Zheng Ce) – later known as Queen TRUNG – and her sister’s armed revolt against the Chinese Han Dynasty in the year 40 A.D., during its second invasion of Giao Chi (Jiaozhi). Giao Chi is now a part of northern Vietnam. The Hâ?u Hán s?? (Hou Han Shu) recorded that Tr?ng’s rebellion would liberate Giao Chi (Jiaozhi) and avenge the murder of her patriot husband Thi Sach (Shi Suo) by To Dinh (Su Ting), a brutal and ruthless Chinese governor. In 42 A.D., Han China dispatched General Ma? Viê?n (Ma Yuan) to quell the rebellion. In 43 A.D., the Han army defeated the Tr?ng sisters and regained complete control of Giao Chi. According to Vietnamese chronicles, the two sisters drowned themselves in the river rather than surrender to the Han. The author has included a brief introduction before each act to help English readers better follow the play. The English version is a literal translation – not an adaptation of the original Vietnamese version – and therefore, is not regarded as an English drama play in verse.

Phytochemical Methods

While there are many books available on methods of organic and biochemical analysis, the majority are either primarily concerned with the application of a particular technique (e.g. paper chromatography) or have been written for an audience of chemists or for biochemists work ing mainly with animaltissues. Thus, no simple guide to modern metho ds of plant analysis exists and the purpose of the present volume is to fill this gap. It is primarily intended for students in the plant sciences, who have a botanical or a general biological background. It should also be of value to students in biochemistry, pharmacognosy, food science and 'natural products' organic chemistry. Most books on chromatog...

Written by outstanding authorities from all over the world, this comprehensive new textbook on pediatric and neonatal ventilation puts the focus on the effective delivery of respiratory support to children, infants and newborns. In the early chapters, developmental issues concerning the respiratory system are considered, physiological and mechanical principles are introduced and airway management and conventional and alternative ventilation techniques are discussed. Thereafter, the rational use of mechanical ventilation in various pediatric and neonatal pathologies is explained, with the emphasis on a practical step-by-step approach. Respiratory monitoring and safety issues in ventilated patients are considered in detail, and many other topics of interest to the bedside clinician are covered, including the ethics of withdrawal of respiratory support and educational issues.
