‘The Pragmatics of Politeness is a fascinating journey through the past thirty years of politeness research, written in a clear and insightful manner. Yet this book is more than simply an account of the evolution of the field. It is the personal deposition of the authors views about politeness as they have been shaped and refined over the past thirty years. A delight to read, and full of critical insights about a wealth of phenomena including defaults, speech acts and indirectness, intra-and inter-cultural variation and the history of English politeness, The Pragmatics of Politeness is destined to become a new classic in the field of (im)politeness research”—Marina Terkourafi, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign This readable book presents a new general theoretical understanding of politeness. It offers an account of a wide range of politeness phenomena in English, illustrated by hundreds of examples of actual language use taken largely from authentic British and American sourc

In this book, the thermal and airflow processes of stratified air distribution (STRAD) systems are experimentally and numerically illustrated. The applications of STRAD systems with separate locations of return and exhaust grilles in three different spaces, namely office space with low ceiling level (lower than 3 m), high space with middle ceiling height (5 m) and large space with very high ceiling level (8 m), were numerically investigated with regard to both thermal comfort and energy saving. Several crucial design parameters for STRAD systems were studied, including the locations of diffusers, the occupied zone cooling load that will be used to determine the required supply air flow rate, and the cooling coil load that will be used to determine the equipment size, and significant results were obtained. Based on the findings in this book, special considerations are also suggested to consultant engineers when designing a STRAD system.

These selected poems from the Tang Dynasty (618–907)—an age in which poetry and the arts flourished—were gathered in the eighteenth century into what became one of the best-known books in the world, and which is still cherished in Chinese homes everywhere. Many of China’s most famous poets—Du Fu, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, and Wang Wei—are represented by timeless poems about love, war, the delights of drinking and dancing, and the beauties of nature. There are poems about travel, about grief, about the frustrations of bureaucracy, and about the pleasures and sadness of old age.Full of wisdom and

As the saying goes, If an old dog barks, he gives counsel.Old men, who walk more roads, eat more rice, read more books, have more experiences, enjoy more happiness, and endure more sufferings are experienced and knowledgeable, with rich life experience. Thus, what they say is mostly wise counsel, and young people should listen to them.We have compiled these nuggets of wisdom uttered by old men of the various ancient schools of thought into this series Wise Men Talking, and added explanatory notes and English translation for the benefit of both Chinese and overseas readers fond of traditional Chinese culture.
