Influenced by his upbringing in post-war Japan, and the ideological, social, economic and artistic transformations of the era, Noda Tetsuya started to build a diary of prints in the 1960s, recording his daily life and mastering the challenge of documenting the reality around him in both true and artistic fashion. Works presented in this publication offer unparalleled insights into the artist’s hand skills and color palette, as well as his intense personal feelings and trademark humility. Few printmakers are quite as exploratory in terms of their technique and so precise in their choice of depicted subjects. Noda Tetsuya’s Diary of Contemporary Japanese Prints represents the long-accumulated knowledge of a well-practiced artform by one of Japan’s bestestablished artists, while also documenting—in true diary fashion—events that have shaped his personal life, while also standing for the collective experience of Noda’s generation and the societal change witnessed over the last several de

In Daily Giving Service: A History of the Diocesan Girls’ School, Hong Kong, Moira M. W. Chan-Yeung and her fellow contributors present a comprehensive history of one of Hong Kong’s oldest girls’ schools. As an alumna of the school, Chan-Yeung traces the history of her alma mater from its establishment in 1860, to its development over the last 160 years until the recent decade. Having experienced stability and turbulences in Hong Kong in the twentieth century, the school has become one of the most prominent girls’ schools in the city. In several chapters written by other alumnae, various aspects of school life of different eras are reconstructed and remembered. The author and other contributors focused on the postwar era in which Hong Kong grew from a small city to a global metropolitan. The expansion of the Diocesan Girls’ School largely followed this trend. The history of the school has also long been connected with the socio-economic development of Hong Kong society, sharing its ha

Low-carbon tourism is an emerging issue of tourism industry and academia in recent years. Previous studies have provided us some reasons that tourists participate in low-carbon travel or not, however, these reasons are scattered in literature and not been integrated into the construct of low-carbon travel motivation or low-carbon travel constraint. Meanwhile, previous studies often designed low-carbon package tours through the perspective of operators, few studies have assisted independent tourists on how to save energy and reduce carbon in travel. Therefore, this book is focused into two parts. The purpose of one part is to draw on tourism related literature, to develop and test the Low-Carbon Travel Motivation and Constraint Scales. The purpose of the other part is to draw on tourism related literature, to develop and test the Low-Carbon Travel Behavior Scale.

Malaysian Cinema in the New Millennium offers a new approach to the study of multiculturalism in cinema by analysing how a new wave of filmmakers champion cultural diversity using cosmopolitan themes. Adrian Lee offers a new inquiry of Malaysian cinema that examines how the ‘Malaysian Digital Indies’ (MDI) have in recent years repositioned Malaysian cinema within the global arena. The book shines a new light on how politics and socioeconomics have influenced new forms and genres of the post-2000s generation of filmmakers, and provides a clear picture of the interactions between commercial cinema and politics and socioeconomics in the first two decades of the new millennium. It also assesses how the MDI movement was successful in creating a transnational cinema by displacing and deterritorialising itself from the context of the national, and illustrates how MDI functions as a site for questioning and proposing a new national identity in the era of advanced global capitalism and new Isla

This book examines Hong Kong foodways in different periods of social development and hopes to advance anthropological inquiries by addressing issues concerning identity, migration, consumerism, globalization, and the invention of local cuisines in the context of Hong Kong as a fast-changing society in East Asia.

It is written from an objective, external viewpoint and paints a colourful and lively picture of Sanguinetti in a voice that could almost be his own. Using Sanguinetti' s life experiences, the biographer touches on various historical events, including the Mau Mau revolution in Kenya and the 1957 riots in Hong Kong, and details the social and political problems of the times, such as lingering colonialism, class structure issues, and human rights violations, among others. These glimpses of history through Sanguinetti' s eyes are accessible, thought-provoking, and truly representative of the man himself.Offering a well-rounded image of the eccentric subject, this book fulfils Sanguinetti' s common response to questions about both his personal and professional life — “ more when I know you better” . It will undoubtedly be of interest to those who knew Sanguinetti as well as legal professionals, young barristers, and readers with an interest in post-war history in Gibraltar, Kenya, and espe

1990年代開始，永續（sustainability）成為一個新興的概念，逐漸成為新興的課題，許多學者鼓吹應創造永續政策以回應環境風險，應以永續概念為基礎促進國際合作與相互瞭解。「環境安全」因而成為一個現代、快速發展的議題，特別是在開發中國家的資源匱乏與因而引起的衝突，不僅成為國家安全的議題，而且也已經成為全球安全的議題，自然資源需求，特別是能源，已經成為21世紀最重要的安全挑戰。可使用的自然資源、氣候變遷或其他的環境議題逐漸納入政策及商業中，21世紀初期，環境議題逐漸被重視，隨著回收實踐、垃圾管理和環保意識的抬頭，消費者與特別是年輕世代選擇更環保的產品。 歐盟經濟統合的核心為實現一個無內部邊界完全自由貿易的單一市場，也就是鬆綁法規（deregulation），但環境政策卻是有許多的規範及阻礙貿易的效果，因此首先歐盟整合環境規範，避免在歐盟境內的競爭扭曲，同時歐盟又運用激進的雙邊自由貿易協定納入環境保護規定，以作為市場進入的要件。對抗氣候變遷的嚴峻挑戰，歐盟亦採取規範措施，例如溫室廢氣排放交易制度（Emissions Trading System；簡稱ETS），這是全球第一個碳權交易市場。 隨著新的執委會團隊上任，「歐洲綠色政綱」成為新的政策方針，歐盟陸續公布一系列的法規，以致力於聯合國永續發展目標，不僅要達到環境保護、淨零排放、循環經濟、低碳經濟的目標，還要保護所謂的利害關係人的權益與永續的供應鏈。因此環境、社會與治理（environmental, social and governance；簡稱ESG）要素成為2022年最熱門的話題。在這樣的背景下，首先闡述歐盟亦推動聯合國的永續發展目標，並具體立法實施永續發展，因而從永續公司治理形成永續供應鏈，並公布所謂的永續供應鏈法，以具體改革公司治理與採行實地查核程序，以具體落實ESG要素。

This book describes and analyses the role of the public sector in the often-charged political atmosphere of post-1997 Hong Kong. In this second edition, Ian Scott explores public sector accountability in terms of Hong Kong’s constitutional framework and the structure, functions, and personnel policies of its civil service system. He examines critical issues facing the administration of the public sector and the formulation and implementation of public policy with particular attention to the political challenges confronting the Hong Kong government over the past decade. A concluding chapter assesses how contested values in a changing political environment have affected the public sector in recent years. This edition has been fully updated to incorporate the latest statistics and research, including Scott’s work in such areas as integrity management, corruption prevention, and policing. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of public administration and public poli

In The Chinese Idea of a University: Phoenix Reborn, Rui Yang conceptualizes the cultural foundations of modern university development in Chinese societies. Instead of focusing on the uniqueness of the societies, this book aims to prove that one educational purpose could be fulfilled via many paths, and that most of the characteristics the university could be found in other institutions of higher learning. Citing the practices of four selected Chinese societies, Yang opposes the existence of an impassable chasm between Chinese and Western ideas of a university and argues that it is possible to combine Chinese and Western ideas of a university. Also, this book is one of the first in English to theorize the Chinese idea of a university. It links the historical events to the present, in a context of an enormous impact of Western academic models and institutions, from the beginning of modern universities in Chinese societies to the contemporary period.

◎This is the Part-One (Radical Index - Stroke No. 1-2) of Twelve printouts from the on-line dictionary that is currently under developing. ◎This unprecedented, intelligent, convenient and useful Tool provides “Pin Yin” (spelled in English) of Traditional Chinese characters. ◎Along with Stroke-by-Stroke writings for each character’s Radical and additional strokes, it is possible to learn Chinese ubiquitously. The stroke-sequences for writing radical-characters are also included in a separate nineteen-page section with the order of radical stroke number and sequence. All the multiple ways of “Pin Yin” will also appear under multiple English letters. However, an unique sort key for the Last Name found in 百家姓 (the Hundred Family Surnames) is highlighted and used for grouping the same Last Name in Traditional Character with different Last Name in English. For example, 鄭 can be found as Cheng, Jeng and Zheng in all 3 places with Cheng marked as sort-key. Therefore, all 鄭s will be grouped u

Frontiers of Memory in the Asia-Pacific explores the making and consumption of conflict-related heritage throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Contributing to a growing literature on ‘difficult heritage’, this collection advances our understanding of how places of pain, shame, oppression, and trauma have been appropriated and refashioned as ‘heritage’ in a number of societies in contemporary East and Southeast Asia and Oceania. The authors analyse how the repackaging of difficult pasts as heritage can serve either to reinforce borders, transcend them, or even achieve both simultaneously, depending on the political agendas that inform the heritage-making process. They also examine the ways in which these processes respond to colonialism, decolonization, and nationalism. The volume shows how efforts to preserve various sites of ‘difficult heritage’ can involve the construction of new borders in the mind between what is commemorated and what is often deliberately obscured or forgotten.

In Chinese Cinema: Identity, Power, and Globalization, a variety of scholars explore the history, aesthetics, and politics of Chinese cinema as the Chinese film industry grapples with its place as the second largest film industry in the world. Exploring the various ways that Chinese cinema engages with global politics, market forces, and film cultures, this edited volume places Chinese cinema against an array of contexts informing the contours of Chinese cinema today. The book also demonstrates that Chinese cinema in the global context is informed by the intersections and tensions found in Chinese and world politics, national and international co-productions, the local and global in representing Chineseness, and the lived experiences of social and political movements versus screened politics in Chinese film culture. This work is a pioneer investigation of the topic and will inspire future research by other scholars of film studies.

The Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong SAR (the “NSL”) promises to be the most important legal development in Hong Kong since the advent of the Basic Law. Many wondered in the aftermath of the NSL how the foundations of Hong Kong’s system might be changed and in what way the freedoms valued by Hong Kong may be affected. Supporters view the law as essential for the preservation of public order and the national security of China and for supporting the fundamental well-being of “One Country, Two Systems”, an arrangement that has been in place since the return of Hong Kong to China. Critics fear an adverse impact on the spirit of “One Country, Two Systems”. From a discussion initiated by the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law, this collection of essays brings together leading experts on Hong Kong and Chinese law to offer an exploratory study of the NSL and its impact on the legal system and the principle of the rule of law in Hon

Initially based on a comparative study of Chinese and Euro-American art theory in the 18th and 19th centuries, this book examines how both cultures looked at their own past and their outside, i.e. what was construed as not belonging to their own cultural sphere, and how they devised new ways of adapting them into evolving cultural constructs. While the 17th century was still a time when the epistemological backgrounds of both civilizations were so profoundly different that nearly no dialogue was possible, the 18th century saw the emergence in both places of profound changes that would get them close enough to create the conditions for the beginning of a conversation. First quite superficial and taking shape mostly in the decorative arts, this process of rapprochement, while remaining chaotic and unpredictable, led to wider and more profound zones of contact throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. Through the reinterpretations of each other’s cultural creations, these zones of con

臺灣第一本全面探討國際學校的專書！ 什麼是國際學校？臺灣有哪些國際學校？ 它們為面臨全球化競爭的孩子提供什麼樣的教育機會？ 家長該如何在眾多學校中，為孩子做出最好選擇？ 21世紀以來，國際學校（International Schools）在全球迅速發展，校數與學生數皆不斷攀高，臺灣也不例外。近年臺灣一些中小學，不乏標榜國際學校或引進國際認證文憑（如IB、AP）者，尤其108年國教新課綱執行後，國、高中的課程未來或多或少都將融入國際教育與跨國教育，展露不同層次的國際學校風貌。 多數國人對於國際學校的定義、起源、發展及類型，瞭解非常有限，許多人仍停留在「國際學校＝外僑學校」的印象，更不知道在評估一間好的國際學校時，應該留意國際學校的類型屬性、國際課程的特色、是否經權責機關認證，有無將國際教育理念融入辦學、是否有專業團隊負責營運、有否做到辦學透明化等要項。 本書作者邱玉蟾在教育部負責國際教育事務多年，在書中，她除了釐清一般人關於國際學校的種種誤解，更從「國際化」、「全球化」的不同時代背景，區分出以「國家」、「國際」及「跨國」教育為主的3類國際學校，再深入剖析其過去、現在與未來，提供所有關心孩童教育的家長、教育工作者及政策規劃者一個更為寬廣的視野。 專文推薦 李隆盛│考選部政務次長 王如哲│國立臺中教育大學校長 聯合推薦 李沃奇（William C.

《漫步華爾街》作者柏頓．墨基爾 X《投資終極戰》作者查爾斯．艾利斯 財經界兩位頂尖思想家，攜手為普通人撰寫的一本簡短、直白的投資手冊 康乃爾大學英語系教授威廉．史壯克（William Strunk Jr.），曾寫過一本英文寫作作品：《英文寫作風格的要素》（The Elements of Style），將如何發揮寫作的力量，歸納成幾個簡單法則。此書出版40年後，史壯克的學生、同時也是作家的懷特（EB White）將該書重新增修，於是經由兩位作者的努力，創生這部不朽的寫作經典。 遵循這樣的脈絡，艾利斯與墨基爾這兩位投資界的巨星與思想巨人，將兩人合計超過112年的投資經驗，總結成這本雖精簡但直言不諱，幫助讀者穩健邁向財富自由道路的作品。 自本書初版逾10年前問世以來，投資人經歷了一段艱難時期，與面對前所未有的市場波動情況，難怪許多投資人乾脆放棄股票市場。此外，一些媒體上的所謂財經專家，更經常宣稱「買進並持有」（buy and hold）與分散投資的策略已然失效。 不過就可靠市場數據顯示，只看一年的績效，約70%的主動型基金表現，不如一檔簡單的指數基金；如果拉長看15年，則有90%的主動型基金的績效表現，不如指數基金。因此，兩位作者的忠告是：別聽那些「專家」的話，別理他們。 ◤從輸家的遊戲中勝出◢ 墨基爾和艾利斯明白，現今的市場狀況和隨之而來往往相互矛盾的建議，可能使投資大眾完全無所適從，這正是他們推出本書10周年版的原因。此版本忠於初版，除了討論可助你我獲得財務自由的理財智慧，還納入支持其結論的新洞見和市場數據。 兩位作者企圖以淺白又充滿睿智的文字，幫助讀者避免受「市場先生」影響而落入「輸家遊戲」陷阱，並可盡情享受進入「贏家遊戲」所帶來的投資樂趣。只要遵循本書建議，你將可根據你的風險承擔意願和年紀，制定一個強大的投資致勝策略。 本書以六章闡述投資的大原則，包括著眼長期、無視市場波動，以及如何利用退休金計畫增加儲蓄和盡可能節稅；也就分散投資、再平衡、定期定額法與指數化等議題加以說明。讀者只需付出一些閱讀時間，就能獲得最精闢的投資贏家心法。 無論是第一次涉足市場的投資小白，還是擁有數十年股市經驗的資深股民，藉由閱讀本書，便可做出更好的投資決策，達成財務目標，從而享受舒適、有保障的退休生活。

西西的動物詩，大部分是近年的新作，盡是奇思妙想，而民胞物與，充滿溫暖、關懷之情，明朗，親切，靈動，幽默，自有深意，寫來似跟動物通靈。總括而言，是為動物發聲，彼此平等、和平地相處，合而為「動物嘉年華」，並且邀來二十多位香港年輕畫家和插畫師參加盛會，每首詩配以不同的繪畫，畫風迥異，不拘一格，呈現多元異質。看西西的詩，看畫家們的詮釋，加上讀者自己的想像與理解，眾聲複調，文學藝術合該這般如此。西西的作品在華文世界膾炙人口，屢獲殊榮，曾獲美國紐曼華語文學獎，以及瑞典蟬獎，為香港獲國際詩獎的首位作家。這詩集是奇書《縫熊志》、《猿猴志》後，另一種動物書寫。 本書適合青少年，也適合喜歡文學藝術的成年。 Most of Xi Xi’s animal poems featured here are new works written during the past few years. Full of whimsical ideas, they embody the notion of “all humans are siblings, and all things are companions,” brimming with warmth and compassion. These poems could be described as bright and cheerful, approachable, clever and fluid, humourous, and deep with meaning, written as though the author is able to directly communicate with animals. Overall, they serve as a voice for animals, showing that they are able to coexist equally and peacefully, resulting in a “carnival of animals.” More than twenty young Hong Kong artists and illustrators have been invited to join this project, with each poem accompanie

Based on a close reading of Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu’s extant films, this book provides insights into the ways the director created narrative structures and used symbolism to construct meaning in his films. Against critics’ insistence that Ozu was indifferent to plot and unlikely to use symbols, Geist demonstrates otherwise, revealing the director’s subtle iconographic paradigms. Her incisive understanding of the historical and cultural context in which the films were conceived amplifies her analysis of the films’ structure and meaning. Ozu: A Closer Look guides the reader through Ozu’s early, silent films and his sound films made during Japan’s wars in Asia and the subsequent American Occupation, then takes up specific themes relevant to his later, better-known films. These themes include religion, gender, and the influence of traditional Japanese painting. Geist also examines the impact that Ozu’s films had on specific directors in Europe, America, and Japan. Intended for f

The Sinological Development Charitable Foundation (SDCF) aspires to help spread 5,000 years of cultural history embedded in the Chinese Classics as a fundamental basis for understanding Chinese civilization. To that end, every year since 2016, the SDCF has provided intensive summer programs by which means scholars from across the globe are brought together in situ (in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and mainland China) to learn together and share their research into some of the most important topics in Chinese Studies. Over the last five years (2016–2020), candidates representing nations from Africa, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Russia, and other parts of Asia have embraced the SDCF program and its goals. This compendium is published to mark the milestone of five comprehensive programs completed successfully. It includes a sample of the best research by program participants from around the world, along with personal reflections and reflections by professors and tutors allied with

The Genera of Orchidaceae in Hong Kong is a handy reference for both amateurs and professional botanists in Asia who wish to enter the field of modern orchidology. Orchid appreciation is an art deeply rooted in Asian cultures. But in 1977, when this book was first published, orchidology as a science was new to people there. The technical vocabulary was unfamiliar and the subject matter difficult to understand. Therefore, this volume was intended as a general, easy-to-use reference book, with illustrations of the basic structure of orchids and their habit and habitat clearly described in Chapter I. The book may also be used as a self-help guide for naturalists and gardeners in Hong Kong who wish to identify an orchid new to them. In Chapter II, keys, descriptions, and illustrations are given to allow the reader to look up and gain information about individual orchid species. Chapter III provides an analysis of the composition and an interpretation of the phytogeographic significance of

In Painting Architecture: Jiehua in Yuan China, 1271–1368, Leqi Yu has conducted comprehensive research on jiehua or ruled-line painting, a unique painting genre in fourteenth-century China. This genre relies on tools such as rulers to represent architectural details and structures accurately. Such technical consideration and mechanical perfection linked this painting category with the builder’s art, which led to Chinese elites’ belittlement and won Mongol patrons’ admiration. Yu suggests that painters in the Yuan dynasty made new efforts towards a unique modular system and an unsurpassable plain-drawing tradition. She argues that these two strategies made architectural paintings in the Yuan dynasty entirely different from their predecessors, as well as making the art form extremely difficult for subsequent painters to imitate.

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

In The First British Trade Expedition to China, Nicholas D. Jackson explores the pioneering British trade expedition to China launched in the late Ming period by Charles I and the Courteen Association. While utilizing the vivid and unique perspective of its commander, Captain John Weddell, this study concentrates on the fleet’s adventures in south China between Portuguese Macao and the provincial capital, Guangzhou (Canton). Tracing the obscure origins of Sino-British diplomatic and commercial relations back to the late Ming era, Jackson examines the first episodes of Sino-British interaction, exchange, and collision in the seventeenth century. His definitive narrative and original analysis constitute a groundbreaking study of early modern British initiatives and enterprise in the coastal areas of south China. The book begins by sketching the Tudor-Stuart historical background of British trade expansion in Asia before precisely reconstructing the voyages of East India Company and then

Games help drive engagement, achieve goals, and ultimately promote development within a group. As such, it is important for group facilitators to be equipped with game skills to ensure a lively, vibrant, and motivated atmosphere. This book includes four theoretical essays by experienced game facilitators regarding the concept, practice sharing, and application skills of group game facilitation, as well as a collection of 100 practical group games covering ice-breaking, mutual understanding, group cooperation, and problem solving. This list of games is built on the experiences and contributions of the author and social work students.

The present volume originates from “The Fourth Asian Translation Traditions Conference” held in Hong Kong in December 2010. The conference generated stimulating discussions relating to the richness and diversity of non-Western discourses and practices of translation, focusing on translational exchanges between non-Western languages, and the change and continuity in Asian translation traditions. Translation and Global Asia shows a rich diversification of historical and geographical interests, and covers a broad array of topics, ranging from ninth-century Buddhist translation in Tibet to twenty-first-century political translation in Malaysia. This collection is strikingly rich. Its authors deal with a wide range of topics in geographically diverse locations from India, Thailand, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines to different parts of China. They evoke different linguistic and historical contexts from ancient times right up to the contemporary period, and take a variety of approaches, st

Is the opinions agreed by the majority of experts necessarily correct? Is there any other way for the universe to be created besides the Big Bang? Why “potential energy” is described as extra energy? Is the speed of light the limit? What is space? What is time? Can an empty space really give rise to all things? This book offers a new perspective on the birth of the universe and gives you an insightful and unique explanation.

Masculinity, fast-changing and regularly declared to be in the throes of crisis, is attracting more popular and scholarly debate in China than ever before. At the same time, Chinese literature since 1989 has been characterized as brimming with countercultural ‘attitude’. This book probes the link between literary rebellion and manhood in China, showing how male writers, as they critique the outcomes of decades of market reform, also ask the same question: how best to be a man in the new postsocialist order? In this first full-length discussion of masculinity in post-1989 Chinese literature, Pamela Hunt offers a detailed analysis of four contemporary authors in particular: Zhu Wen, Feng Tang, Xu Zechen, and Han Han. In a series of insightful readings, she explores how all four writers show the same preoccupation with the figure of the man on the edges of society. Drawing on longstanding Chinese and global models of maverick and marginal masculinity, and responding to a desire to retain

Sir Robert Ho Tung (1862–1954) is a compelling figure in Hong Kong history. He is regularly portrayed as the colony’s greatest philanthropist and wealthiest man of his day, the first Chinese to live on the Peak, and, at the end of his life, the ‘Grand Old Man of Hongkong’. The illegitimate son of a Chinese mother and European father, he was highly sensitive about his mixed heritage though he consistently made the most of his fate. He was a man perfectly in tune with his place and time, his success driven as much by his entrepreneurial talents as by his being Eurasian. This book shows him in all his immense variety—clerk with the Imperial Maritime Customs, chief compradore of Jardine Matheson, financial wizard, husband and lover, patriarch of a large family of five sons and eight daughters, loyal British subject but also, paradoxically, Chinese patriot. China’s president Yuan Shikai awarded him the Order of the Excellent Crop, and King George V knighted him. May Holdsworth’s thoughtful
