Timeless and Forever...
The beautiful Victorian Mansion stood vacant and alone for decades. It held all of its secrets behind locked doors, until a young girl turned the key in the lock and walked into the waiting mansion. Little did Donna Mae know she would be the one who unleashed and set free the stories of forgotten people.A dragon chained in a dungeon, now walked darkened halls his stench smelt again.There was great Aunt Ruth, who was beautiful but unmarried in her late thirties. She loved the Lord and devoted her life to Him.Aunt Ruth's great niece, Carley was sixteen when her dad sold her to five soldiers going off to war for a night of pleasure. Out of this horrible tragedy, God blessed Carley. Within her womb twins grew and Aunt Ruth prayed and we all know that the prayer of a righteous person avails much with the Lord....I live in the Sonoran Desert with my husband Larry, three cats and our Rottweiler, Strider. I love to grow things. I water most of the plants by hand with a hose, with Strider by my side. I paint pictures using water colors and ink, as my medium, when I have time.
Exploration Of A Nonlinear World: An Appreciation Of Howell Tong's Contributions To Statistics
This festschrift is dedicated to Professor Howell Tong on the occasion of his 65th birthday. With a Foreword written by Professor Peter Whittle, FRS, it celebrates Tong's path-breaking and tireless contributions to nonlinear time series analysis, chaos and statistics, by reprinting 10 selected papers by him and his collaborators, which are interleaved with 17 original reviews, written by 19 international experts.Through these papers and reviews, readers will have an opportunity to share many of the excitements, retrospectively and prospectively, of the relatively new subject of nonlinear time series. Tong has played a leading role in laying the foundation of the subject; his innovative and authoritative contributions are reflected in the review articles in the volume, which describe modern and related developments in the subject, including applications in many major fields such as ecology, economics, finance and others. This volume will be useful to researchers and students interested in the theory and practice of nonlinear time series analysis.
Western Queers in China
This unique work examines the role played by sexuality in the historical encounter between China and the West. Distinguished historian D.E. Mungello focuses especially on Western homosexuals who saw China as a place of escape from the homophobia of Europe and North America. His groundbreaking study traces the lives of two dozen men, many previously unknown to have same-sex desire, who fled to China and in the process influenced perceptions of Chinese culture to this day. This escapism engendered casual sexual encounters, serious friendships, and substantive intellectual rela.
Ghost Cities
Ghost Cities &– inspired by the vacant, uninhabited megacities of China &– follows multiple narratives, including one in which a young man named Xiang is fired from his job as a translator at Sydney's Chinese Consulate after it is discovered he doesn' t speak a word of Chinese and has been relying entirely on Google Translate for his work. How is his relocation to one such ghost city connected to a parallel odyssey in which an ancient Emperor creates a thousand doubles of Himself? Or where a horny mountain gains sentience? Where a chess-playing automaton hides a deadly secret? Or a tale in which every book in the known Empire is destroyed &– then re-created, page by page and book by book, all in the name of love and art? Allegorical and imaginative, Ghost Cities will appeal to readers of Haruki Murakami and Italo Calvino.
Pulp Demons
The campaign in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s to rid comic books of their violent content, and often-times to obliterate the medium itself, had far-reaching and deeply felt reverberations. Spearheaded by moralists, educators, politicians, and psychiatrist Dr. Fredric Wertham, anti-comics crusades led to book burnings, town meetings, periodical discourses, and the draconian Comics Code, recognized as the most oppressive act of self-censorship in this country's history. At issue was the possible link between comic books and juvenile delinquency, although then-current concerns about communist infiltration, lowered educational levels, and moral decay also crept into the arguments.
A Biographical Dictionary of Later Han to the Three Kingdoms (23-220 AD)
This publication is the long-awaited complement to Michael Loewe's acclaimed Biographical Dictionary of the Qin, Former Han and Xin Periods (2000). With more than 8,000 entries, based upon historical records and surviving inscriptions, the comprehensive Biographical Dictionary of Later Han to the Three Kingdoms (23-220 AD) now provides information on men and women of the Chinese world who lived at the time of Later (or Eastern) Han, from Liu Xiu, founding Emperor Guangwu (reg. 24-57), to the celebrated warlord Cao Cao (155-220) at the end of the dynasty. The entries, including surnames, personal names, styles and dates, are accompanied by maps, genealogical tables and indexes, with lists of books and special accounts of women. These features, together with the convenient surveys of the history and the administrative structure of the dynasty, will make Rafe de Crespigny's work an indispensable tool for any further serious study of a significant but comparatively neglected period of imperial China.

Cases on Chinese Unicorns and the Development of Startups
In today's dynamic landscape of global entrepreneurship, understanding the intricacies of China's burgeoning startup ecosystem poses a significant challenge for scholars and business enthusiasts alike. The Chinese market continues to produce an increasing number of unicorn companies, which are companies that are privately owned and valued at over one billion US dollars. There is now a pressing need to dissect their growth trajectories, financial strategies, and leadership dynamics. However, accessing credible and comprehensive insights into these companies' journeys still needs to be discovered, hindering academic inquiry and practical business discussions. Cases on Chinese Unicorns and the ...
Asian Comics
Grand in its scope, Asian Comics dispels the myth that, outside of Japan, the continent is nearly devoid of comic strips and comic books. Relying on his fifty years of Asian mass communication and comic art research, during which he traveled to Asia at least seventy-eight times and visited many studios and workplaces, John A. Lent shows that nearly every country had a golden age of cartooning and has experienced a recent rejuvenation of the art form. As only Japanese comics output has received close and by now voluminous scrutiny, Asian Comics tells the story of the major comics creators outside of Japan. Lent covers the nations and regions of Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, I...
