A Contemporary History of the Chinese Zheng traces the twentieth- and twenty-first-century development of an important Chinese musical instrument in greater China.The zheng was transformed over the course of the twentieth century, becoming a solo instrument with virtuosic capacity. In the past, the zheng had appeared in small instrumental ensembles and supplied improvised accompaniments to song.

Silverberg ultimately argues that the zheng’s older repertory was poorly represented by efforts to collect and promote zheng music in the twentieth century.

本書特色 本書第一章「債之關係總論」，除從債權與物權之不同說明債權之本質外，尚特別強調債編通則法定之債以外其他規定最主要適用對象為雙務契約。第二、第三章關於契約內容部分，除探討契約關係內容的形成及其義務群與債權的類型外，也從契約類型論的觀點，將債編各種之債紛然雜陳的契約，耙梳釐清其輪廓，架構其體系，並針對若干交易上重要的有名契約，敘述其基本法律關係與核心問題，期使讀者不僅能對債權的內容，也能對契約類型特徵與基本的契約內容有所認識。第四章「債之消滅」，對清償、代物清償、間接給付、債之更改契約的法律性質論，提出不少與通說不同的看法。作者簡介陳自強現職：國立臺灣大學法律學院特聘教授學歷：國立臺灣大學法學士、法學碩士德國慕尼黑大學法學博士經歷：律師、司法官考試及格日本東北大學、京都大學法學部研究國立政治大學法律系專任副教授、教授相關著作：契約之成立與生效──契約法講義Ⅰ契約之內容與消滅──民法講義Ⅱ契約違反與履行請求──契約法講義Ⅲ違約責任與契約回復──民法講義Ⅳ債之涉他關係──民法講義Ⅴ無因債權契約論代理權與經理權之間──民商合一與民商分立臺灣民法與日本債權法之現代化整合中之契約法契約責任歸責事由之再構成──契約法之現代化Ⅰ不完全給付與物之瑕疵──契約法之現代化Ⅱ和解與計算錯誤──契約法之現代化Ⅲ契約錯誤法則之基本理論──契約法之現代化Ⅳ多角關係請求當事人之確定──契約法之現代化Ⅴ契約給付之返還關係──契約法之現代化Ⅵ契約法中的給付不當得利──契約法之現代化Ⅶ第五版 自序 本書第二版與第三版的差別，顯而易見的是書名副標題從「契約法講義II」變為「民法講義II」，又回到本書2004年首次問世時的書名。內容上，原本第四章「債之移轉與契約承擔」遷徙到《債之涉他關係─民法講義V》、第三章「債之移轉」。如此調整，無論是日常生活交易的企業經營者與消費者間之交易（B2C），或雙方均為企業經營者的商事交易（B2B），契約目的達成上均須經歷的生老病死，都記錄在本書與《契約之成立與生效》，可說是健康的契約生理方面的剖析。民法講義《契約違反與履行請求》及《違約責任與契約回復》，面對遭遇若干困難而無法順利達到終站的契約，民法講義《債之涉他關係》則述說因他人或為他人而發生債之關係的故事。 本書前版關於大陸合同法相關部分的介紹，此次改版僅保留極少數個人認為特別值得參考者。合同法雖因大陸民法典之

You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new oil—the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything—from missiles to microwaves—runs on chips, including cars, smartphones, the stock market, even the electric grid. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower, but America’s edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by players in Taiwan, Korea, and Europe taking over manufacturing. Now, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building initiative to catch up to the US. At stake is America’s military superiority and economic prosperity.Economic historian Chris Miller explains how the technology works and why it’s so important, recounting the fascinating events that led to the United States perfecting the chip design, and to Ameri
