Managing Intermediate Size Cities
I am both pleased and honored to introduce this book to readers, and I want to take a few moments to explain why. Michael Romanos and Christopher Auffrey have produced a volume which will be of immense value to several different types of people. Planners and other specialists concerned with the development of the Southeast Asian region and the issues and opportunities associated with urban growth and sustainable development will find much to interest them in this book. But the book, I believe, has much wider appeal, and that is what I want to touch on briefly here. The University of Cincinnati, where Michael, Chris, and I work, is attempting to globalize itself - to develop its institutional...
My Peace I Offer You
The entire country followed the disappearances of three women who vanished from one of Washington, DC's popular neighborhoods. In 1999, a beautiful, young Justice Department attorney, Joyce Chiang, disppeared from the ominous streets of our Nation's Capitol. Three months later, Joyce's corpse was discovered in the murky waters of the Potomac River. The FBI and police were only able to theorize how Joyce died. Two years later, Chandra Levy disappeared a few blocks from where Joyce vanished. Joyce's murder is brought back into the spotlight, but an egomaniacal police chief discredits the case, blasphemously professing that Joyce committed suicide to discount the media's assertion that a serial killer was lurking. Joyce's brother, Roger, goes on the offensive to set the record straight. Despite the tragedy, author Roger J. Chiang learns a life lesson that is transformed into "My Peace I Offer You." Chiang evangelizes God's Commandment of love for neighbor and revives the lost virtue of brotherhood.
Travails To Truth: My Peace From Prison
The sequel to "My Peace I Offer You." "Travails To Truth" is a jarring yet heartening memoir about Roger's tenuous twelve months in prison. Now it's Roger's turn to tell his side of the story: Roger is maliciously persecuted by a police foe. Imprisoned in the cosmos of abuse and corruption, prison officials coerce Roger to prevent him from being interviewed for a documentary about his sister's murder. Meanwhile, Roger has enrolled in a prison drug program that is a guise for mind control. Then, just months shy of his release, Roger is condemned to solitary confinement for fighting although prison officials are guilty. Roger boldly fights back by blowing the whistle and an unlikely ally comes to his aid. Still, Roger shows that his human spirit will not be broken by adversity. Join Roger as he sheds a sobering light on America, calls for changes to the beleagured criminal justice system and tells an awe-inspiring story about faith and God.
Soong Mayling and Wartime China, 1937-1945
Soong Mayling and Wartime China, 1937-1945: Deploying Words as Weapons focuses on the First Lady of China’s timely and critical contributions in the areas of war, women’s work, and diplomacy during China’s War of Resistance as inflected through gender. This book explores Soong Mayling through her own words by examining her speeches, essays, letters, telegrams, and news reports during the war period. How did Madame Chiang Kai-shek’s gender identity shape her interactions with other Chinese women, the male military and political leadership in the Republic of China, and the broader global public? How did Confucianism’s cardinal virtues and Chinese Christianity converge in Soong Mayling’s work and worldview? What were her main contributions as Secretary-General of the Chinese Air Force? Drawing on Chinese archival materials such as Chiang Kai-shek’s diaries and other records around the world, Esther Hu provides a historically informed perspective of the First Lady’s legacy within the context of World War II history, international cultural and military affairs, and transnational geopolitics.
