How Western nutrition science defined difference as disease in modern China. For more than a century, Western observers have treated Chinese foodways as evidence of deficiency, danger, or backwardness. In Nutritional Imperialism, Hilary A.Smith shows how these assumptions entered the heart of modern nutrition science and reshaped understandings of health, diet, and difference. Nutrition scientists, physicians, and policymakers presented Western dietary patterns as universal benchmarks of health and transformed ordinary physiological variation into signs of pathology. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Western researchers compared Chinese diets to Euro-American norms and framed rice-based, low-dairy, and low-meat eating patterns as evidence of weakness.Over time, these judgments hardened into scientific claims about vitamin deficiency, protein insufficiency, lactose intolerance, and alcohol metabolism—each treated as a disorder requiring intervention. The book follows these ideas

Life on Our Dynamic Planet explores the forces that shape our world-from weather systems and seasons to the intricate dance between climate and life. The engaging text offers readers keys to understanding how the interaction between atmospheric dynamics, the energy we receive from the sun, ocean circulation, and Earth's yearly journey in the solar system create and maintain the environments we inhabit with millions of other living things. Through clear and approachable writing, it bridges the gap between everyday experience and the science behind weather, climate, and the living world. Answering and explaining everyday questions that pique readers' curiosity, the book explores a wide range of phenomena, from the formation of clouds, snow, and glaciers to the mechanisms behind hurricanes, droughts, and monsoons. It reveals the wonder of color, from rainbows to the patterns in flowers that are invisible to humans but act as bright UV road signs for pollinators. What makes the tropics war

本書以當代臺灣佛教為研究對象，從歷史發展與宗教實踐的脈絡中，探討臺灣本土佛教佛陀觀的形成與轉變。研究指出，臺灣佛教徒對佛陀的理解，已不再侷限於歷史性的釋迦牟尼佛，而是隨著大乘佛教思想的開展，逐步形成涵攝法身佛與多佛思想的佛陀觀。本書結合田野調查與佛教典籍，從歷史源流的角度出發，分析傳統漢傳佛寺、人間佛教、藏傳佛教與南傳佛教之佛陀觀及其實踐形態，呈現當代臺灣佛教多元交織的面貌。在佛教全球化發展的趨勢之下，期盼本書所作之初步耕耘，能為佛陀觀與多佛思想之研究提供參考。 本書結合田野調查與佛教典籍，從歷史源流分析傳統佛寺、人間、藏傳與南傳佛教之佛陀觀與實踐，呈現當代臺灣佛教多元交織的發展樣貌，面對佛教全球化的發展趨勢，期盼本書能為佛陀觀、多佛思想及當代臺灣佛教研究，提供一項具有參考價值的成果。
