In most non-democratic countries, today governing forty-four percent of the world population, the power of the regime rests upon a ruling party. Contrasting with conventional notions that authoritarian regime parties serve to contain elite conflict and manipulate electoral-legislative processes, this book presents the case of China and shows that rank and-file members of the Communist Party allow the state to penetrate local communities. Subnational comparative analysis demonstrates that in 'red areas' with high party saturation, the state is most effectively enforcing policy and collecting taxes. Because party membership patterns are extremely enduring, they must be explained by events prior to the Communist takeover in 1949. Frontlines during the anti-colonial Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) continue to shape China's political map even today. Newly available evidence from the Great Leap Forward (1958–1961) and the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) shows how a strong local party basis sus

Jinwoo knows it won’t be long before his true power fully comes to light and the guilds and Hunter’s Association of Korea descend, seeking his allegiance. Since his training has thus far been a solo endeavor, Jinwoo decides he ought to at least see what an A-rank raid is really like. Joining the Hunters’ excavation team is the perfect opportunity to assess a high-level guild in action, even if his role is limited to hauling and mining. That is, until a particularly nasty dungeon boss requires the luggage carrier to step up to carry the team as well!!

“IT’S SHOWTIME.” The news has made headlines-"Korea and Japan join hands to exterminate the terrifying magic beasts on Jeju Island once and for all!” It’s a monumental moment for the people of the country…and it has absolutely nothing to do with Jinwoo. Instead, the newest S-rank hunter’s number one priority is bringing his recently recovered mother back home where she belongs at last. When the situation on Jeju Island takes a devastating turn for the worse, though, will the country's top hunters be strong enough to save the day without him?

When Jinwoo gets his rank reevaluated, the results are even better than hecould have dreamed of...but more importantly, a chance to heal his motherfrom her strange illness falls into his lap. In order to find the cure, hemust make his way further into the Demon’s Castle―and now thatthere’s finally hope at the end of the tunnel, nothing can get in hisway.

The inaugural collection of cartoons that introduced Tom Gauld's literary wit to the world now in paperback! "Precise and wryly hilarious...Gauld's both a literature nerd and a science-fiction nerd whose deadpan mashups belong on the same shelf as Kate Beaton."--NPR Drawn from Tom Gauld's popular comics feature in The Guardian, You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack perfectly distills Gauld's dark humor, impeccable timing, and distinctive style. Classic strips like "The Bront?Sisters: The Videogame" and "The Serious Rock Critic" (who's written 32 books about Led Zeppelin) intermingle hilariously with piercing observations about politics and human behavior (see: "The Greedy Dog Stands on the Chair of Hope to Feast on the Sausage of Hubris") and whimsical imaginings of the future (see: "The 'Great Automaton Strike' of 2029 Saw the Birth of the Robot Protest Song"). Again and again, Gauld reaffirms his position as a first-rank cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of

"MAY ALL THAT YOU WISH TO PROTECT BURN TO ASHES…”Having witnessed the staggering power of the Shadow Monarch, Jinwoo can’t wait to level up and reach those heights, and what better way to do so than to mobilize his army of soldiers against an S-rank dungeon’s worth of giants?Saving a country abandoned by the rest of the world has its benefits—international renown, the expansion of his guild, an invitation to the most prestigious hunter conference in the world—but perhaps the most unexpected bonus is a run-in with another Monarch who brings not-so-welcome tidings. If he’s to be believed, a war is coming that not even Jinwoo is strong enough to stop…

In On Saving Face, Michael Keevak traces the Western reception of the Chinese concept of “face” during the past two hundred years, arguing that it has always been linked to nineteenth-century colonialism. “Lose face” and “save face” have become so normalized in modern European languages that most users do not even realize that they are of Chinese origin. “Face” is an extremely complex and varied notion in all East Asian cultures. It involves proper behavior and the avoidance of conflict, encompassing every aspect of one’s place in society as well as one’s relationships with other people. One can “give face,” “get face,” “fight for face,” “tear up face,” and a host of other expressions. But when it began to become known to the Western trading community in China beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century, it was distorted and reduced to two phrases only, “lose face” and “save face,” both of which were used to suggest distinctly Western ideas of humiliation, embarrassment, honor, a

Known as the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind, E-rank hunter Jinwoo Sung’s contribution to raids amounts to trying not to get killed. Unfortunately, between his mother’s hospital bills, his sister’s tuition, and his own lack of job prospects, he has no choice but to continue to put his life on the line. So when an opportunity arises for a bigger payout, he takes it…only to come face-to-face with a being whose power outranks anything he’s ever seen!

First written in response to a JACT survey of over 100 schools, this textbook has become a standard resource for students throughout the UK and for readers across the world who are looking for a clear and thorough introduction to the language of the ancient Greeks. Now revised throughout and enhanced by colour artwork and text features, this revised edition will support the new OCR specification for Classical Greek (first teaching 2016).Written by a long-time school teacher and examiner, this two-part course is based on experience of what pupils find difficult, concentrating on the essentials and on the understanding of principles in both accidence and syntax: minor irregularities are postponed and subordinated so that the need for rote learning is reduced. It aims to be user-friendly, but also to give pupils a firm foundation for further study. Part 1 covers the basics and is self-contained, with its own reference section. It covers the main declensions, a range of active tenses and a

“A literary landmark. Gellhorn’s prose . . . is at its finest in the letter form.”—Francine du Plessix Gray, The New York Times Book ReviewMartha Gellhorn’s reporting career brought her to the front lines of virtually every significant conflict from the Spanish Civil War to the end of the cold war. While Gellhorn’s wartime dispatches rank among the best of the century, her personal letters are their equal: as vivid and fascinating as her reporting was trenchant. Gellhorn’s correspondence introduces us to the woman behind the often inscrutable journalist, chronicling her friendships with twentieth-century luminaries as well as her tempestuous marriage to Ernest Hemingway. Caroline Moorehead, Gellhorn’s critically acclaimed biographer, was granted exclusive access to the letters. This expertly edited volume contextualizes Gellhorn’s correspondence within the arc of her entire life; the result is an intimate portrait of one of the most accomplished women of modern times. A distinguished b

This book introduces basic and advanced concepts of categorical regression with a focus on the structuring constituents of regression, including regularization techniques to structure predictors. In addition to standard methods such as the logit and probit model and extensions to multivariate settings, the author presents more recent developments in flexible and high-dimensional regression, which allow weakening of assumptions on the structuring of the predictor and yield fits that are closer to the data. A generalized linear model is used as a unifying framework whenever possible in particular parametric models that are treated within this framework. Many topics not normally included in books on categorical data analysis are treated here, such as nonparametric regression; selection of predictors by regularized estimation procedures; ternative models like the hurdle model and zero-inflated regression models for count data; and non-standard tree-based ensemble methods. The book is accom

無母數統計學（英語：nonparametric statistics），或稱非母數統計學，是統計學的一個分支，適用於母體分配情況未明、小樣本、母體分配不為常態也不易轉換為常態的情形。特點在於盡量減少或不修改其建立之模型，較具穩健特性；在樣本數不大時，計算過程較簡單。無母數統計推論時所使用的統計量的抽樣分配，通常與母體分配無關，不必推論其中位數、適合度、獨立性、隨機性，更廣義的說，無母數統計方法又稱為「不受分配限制統計法」（distribution free）。但無母數統計缺乏一般之機率表，檢定時是以等級（Rank）為主要統計量。本書的特徵有以下四項：1. 只要看數據類型，統計處理方法一清二楚。2. 利用圖解，數據的輸入與其步驟，清晰明確。3. 利用圖解，統計處理的方法與其步驟，一目了然。4. 輸出結果的判讀方法簡明易懂。

她是印度史詩《摩羅衍那》裡護駕有功的王妃，也是放逐皇子的惡毒繼母。這次，換她來說自己的故事。Vaishnavi Patel重磅出道作，以吉迦伊視角重述這位背負惡名的奇女子憑藉勇氣與韌性，抵抗命運洪流的不凡人生。Before she was cast as Indian mythology's most jealous queen, she had her own story....The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, Kaikeyi is raised on stories about the might and benevolence of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharath prospers, and how they offer the devout and the wise powerful boons. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to how great a marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear.Desperate for some measure of independence, she turns to the texts she once read with her mother and discovers a magic that is hers alone. With this power, Kaikeyi transforms herself from an overlooked princess into a warrior, diplomat, and most-favored queen, determined to carv
