EcoUlysses
This study proposes an eco-political reading of James Joyce's Ulysses by looking into four aspects of the environment that Joyce deals with in his modernist classic. By looking respectively into Joyce's writing of gardens, garbage, trees, and the pastoral, this book provides an interdisciplinary discussion between ecocriticism and Joyce studies.

Divided by a Common Language
Between 1044 and 1104, ideological disputes divided China’s sociopolitical elite, who organized into factions battling for control of the imperial government. Advocates and adversaries of state reform forged bureaucratic coalitions to implement their policy agendas and to promote like-minded colleagues. During this period, three emperors and two regents in turn patronized a new bureaucratic coalition that overturned the preceding ministerial regime and its policies. This ideological and political conflict escalated with every monarchical transition in a widening circle of retribution that began with limited purges and ended with extensive blacklists of the opposition. Divided by a Common L...

The Motherland of Civilization is Taiwan
The continent of Atlantis and Mu-Land, the earliest civilization that disappeared by the great Flood, has never been found, according to my paper presented at an international academic conference in early September 2005: “Mega-tsunami in northeastern Taiwan at least 12,000 years ago”, just to find out the earliest civilization lost by mankind, it can be inferred from ancient cultural relics that these two are one Taiwan Island. Another 6,000 years ago, the explosion Volcano of the Seven-Star Mountain in Taipei lasted for several years, causing Taiwan's ancestors to flee and spread to the islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, forming a vast territory of the Austronesian language family.

Borrowed Sceneries
Der Garten als Inspiration Der Garten verkörpert verdichtete Natur, so wie sich nach japanischem Verständnis in einem Tautropfen die Welt widerspiegelt. Diese Vorstellung kann als Impuls für die Imitationen japanischer Gärten in der Schweiz im 20. Jahrhundert gesehen werden, als Anstoß für die Einbindung japanischer Elemente und als Stoffumwandler vom Alpinum zur Trockenlandschaft. Die Autorin illustriert erstmals anhand von zehn Schweizer Landschaftsarchitekturbüros wie diese sich von miniaturisierten Gärten (Bonsai) inspirieren ließen, sich Szenerien (Shakkei) liehen, dem Reiz des Unvollkommenen (Wabi-sabi) erlagen und den Geist von Zen einfingen. Sie beleuchtet Parallelen zur Anverwandlung chinesischer Einflüsse in Japan und verortet das Phänomen in der Rezeption Nippons im Westen. Hochattraktives und viel bisher unveröffentlichtes Bildmaterial Fundiert recherchiertes Material verständlich und ansprechend aufbereitet Japan-Begeisterung in der Schweizer Landschaftsarchitektur Mit einem Fotoessay von Martin Linsi

The earliest known written records of the history of China date from as early as 1250 BC, from the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC) and the Bamboo Annals (296 BC) describe a Xia dynasty (c. 2070–1600 BC) before the Shang, but no writing is known from the period The Shang ruled in the Yellow River valley, which is commonly held to be the cradle of Chinese civilization. However, Neolithic civilizations originated at various cultural centers along both the Yellow River and Yangtze River. These Yellow River and Yangtze civilizations arose millennia before the...
