A skilled observer and noted scholar of Chinese culture, Tsuen-Hsuin Tsien has contributed profoundly to the West's understanding of the East and vice versa. Having spent six decades as a professor and curator at The University of Chicago, he has been an indispensable resource on a wide range of topics that include Chinese paleography, paper, inkmaking, printing, cultural exchange, libraries, and biographies. Collected Writings on Chinese Culture contains distilled selections from Tsien's major works and journal articles, as well as his Memoir of a Centenarian, which traces Tsien's life from his youth in China through sixty years of scholarship at The University of Chicago. This volume is an excellent companion for anyone familiar with Tsien's work and also a welcome resource for readers unfamiliar with the author's writings and extensive impact within East Asian studies and across all of academia.

The papers in this publication are studies on the Chinese communicity in Malaysia in relation to developments in Southeast Asia. The formation of Chinese communities in the region were established by waves of migration into the region over periods of time. However, given the proximity to China, there has been and there will always be the reminder of an exogenous influence, the China factor, on the Chinese communities in the region. In fact the Xinhua News Agency from the People's Republic of China reported recently, with pride, that there are now an estimated forty five million Overseas Chinese all over the world. Studies as presented by the authors indicate the diversity of the Chinese community in Malaysia. Often the community is mistakenly perceived as a monolithic entity. The truth could not be more different. The community comprise minority groups such as Chinese Muslims, Chinese Christians and Peranakans, besides the common perception of only Buddhists and Taoists. All are Malay

This book brings into one volume the history of two thousand years of interaction between China and Malaysia. This is probably the most comprehensive book available on this topic. It discusses interesting topics ranging from the history of the monsoon trade, tributary trade, the great Chinese admiral Zheng He's voyage, the friendly relations between early Melaka and China, the relations between China and the Malay Peninsula during the Colonial Era, Sina-Malaysian interactions during the Pacific War, the Malayan Independence, to the establishment of China-Malaysia diplomatic relations in 1974. This book will be of interest to both scholars and the general public and may be used as a textbook for related courses.

Negotiating Religion in Modern China traces the history of the Chinese state's relationship with religion from 1900 to 1937. The revolutionary regime condemned religious practice in the early twentieth century, suppressing "superstitious" belief in favor of a secular, more enlightened society. Drawing on newspapers and unpublished official documents, this book focuses on the case of Guangzhou, largely because of the city's sustained involvement in the revolutionary quest for a "new" China. The author pays particular attention to the implementation of policy and citizens' attempts at adaptation and resistance.

愛麗絲在夢境中不小心掉進了兔子洞，因為她跟著一隻看著懷錶自言自語的兔子走進到一個大洞裡，不過愛麗絲根本就不知道這個洞有多深，只知道在掉下去的時候她還睡了好一會，然後她喝了藥水身體就變小，吃了蛋糕身體就變大，變成巨人的愛麗絲流的眼淚變成了大池塘。書中還出現了和多多鳥、老鼠的賽跑大會、吞雲吐霧的大煙槍毛毛蟲、愛說教的公爵夫人、因為被紅心王后懲罰從此活在六點時刻的帽子商人，以及愛麗絲跟紅心王后比賽槌球時打得一塌糊塗的有趣內容。在奇怪的審判裡莫名其妙變成證人的愛麗絲，惹火了紅心王后。被判了死刑的愛麗絲該如何死裡逃生呢？ Step through the original looking glass with Alice into a world much more complex and fantastic than you may have imagined, if you’ve only read newer abridged, watered down versions; a familiar world where old friends like the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat still live, but a world that also abounds with strange characters like the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle, who sings the song of the Lobster Quadrille performed at the edge of the sea; a world caricatured in the unforgettable woodblock illustrations of the artist and humorist John Tenniel; a vivid and enchanting world beloved by young and old alike; a place that, once visited, can never be forgotten.

Li shang wanglai is a phrase that combines practice and principle. It is what others have discussed as Confucianism. But it is the summation of what is practised in daily life and without the leadership of an elite intelligentsia. With this phrase the author has brought together what had been separately discussed: the social philosophy of bao (asymmetrical reciprocity), the central importance of mianzi and lian (face), the moral economy of renqing (human relationships of fellow-feeling), the art of making guanxiwang (social networks), and much else. She shows how they work together in what might be called a discursive constellation. Using sociological and anthropological theorisations of reciprocal relations in China and Japan, she creates a framework of four dimensions, namely, principled rational calculation, human-feeling, moral, and religious, and four kinds of relationships, namely, instrumental, expressive, negative and generous.

Miss Pronunciation(可譯為發音小姐或發音錯誤二種意思)就是花音小姐，她活潑可愛，但是常常花(發)錯音，一個不一樣的發音，就能帶你走上不同的旅程。 當她說It’s a sick book，你會想原來書也會生病啊，那有沒有書醫生呢，可是原來她想說的是 A thick book ，還有當她說Let’s Pray，你會以為要開始祈禱，但其實她是說Let’s Play…，跟著花音小姐的旅程就是充滿著這麼多驚喜! Miss pronunciation is a fun house mirror for words. In this book you can actually see how mispronounced words twist the original meaning and make fun of themselves, as Miss Pronunciation makes a thick book ‘sick,’ shrinks a law school into a ‘low school,’ and spins a tiger’s fangs into ‘fans.’ Readers will be tickled by the funny twists and award-winning illustrations, while English teachers may find fresh ideas for teaching pronunciation. 產品特色 1. 本書獲2009新一代數位媒體金獎 2. 全英文繪本，以有趣插圖教導孩子英語發音可能的錯誤。

As has been well said, “Andersen was a Norseman, and the blood of Norsemen is in our veins.” For those who here make first acquaintance with Andersen, it may be well to state that he was born at Odense, in the Baltic island of Funen, on April 2, 1805. His first fairy tales were published when he was about thirty years of age. “I have written them,” he wrote to a friend, “just as if I were telling them to a child.” That, no doubt, was the reason of his success, though as a

THE FLOWER PRINCESS (Dae Neui Fa or Din?hua in Mandarin) has become the most renowned Cantonese Opera since its 1957 premier in Hong Kong. The opera is a serious political drama played out between the Han and non-Han following the fall of the Ming dynasty, and the plot pits romantic love against the lofty Confucian ideals of social hierarchy and moral rectitude. This is the first complete English translation of the opera, featuring text, song titles, speech types, and choreographic and stage setting. It also contains a foreword by Pak Suet Sin (Bai Xuexian), the celebrated Cantonese Opera actress who created the role of the Princess in the original production.

Hao Zhidong has provided essential background on the types of thinking that could create a unified island-mainland polity. Do the politicians in Beijing and Taipei want one enough to make the symbolic sacrifices that would be needed to bring their citizens peace with prosperity? The thinkers whom Hao analyzes in this book can show them ways to do this---Lynn White, Princeron University A tour de force survey of the dilemmas and possibilities facing intellectuals and policy makers in the Chinese-speaking world when dealing with Taiwan as a problem of Chinese nationalism.---Christopher R. Hughes, London School of Economics and Political Science A sane, thoughtful and thoroughly grounded study of what intellectuals are doing---and could do---to mediate the contentious patriotism in both Mainland China and Taiwan. Hao brings the sensibilities of a native to a rigorous comparative sociological analysis of the states and the intellectuals involved and what it would take to resolve this key

Even though molecular biology has long been a basic tool in biomedical research, scientists still face the question of why certain molecular biology methods are used for certain experiments. To unlock the mystery, one must first understand the principles behind the methods. Unfortunately, very few molecular biology books have successfully provided satisfactory explanations. This book intends to fill this void by offering topics ranging from basic knowledge to the current state of the art in applied molecular biology. The principles and applications related to each technique included in the text are all described in full detail.

This book is the result of discoveries made by Nivison beginning in 1979, It uses critically (without superseding) his monographs from 1983 through 2002, combined with his discoveries through 2008. Its main thrust is to show that the methods and results of the PRC “Three Dynasties Project” are invalid, and that recovering chronology before 841 BCE can be solved only by using the supposedly spurious Jinben Zhushu Jinian (“Modern Text” Bamboo Annals), combined with hypothesis that reign lengths of record were normally the years after completion of mourning for the preceding king. Part One presents resulting exact dates form the beginning of Xia, confirmed by discoveries in astronomy by D. W. Pankenier and Kevin Pang. Part Two criticizes the Three-years Dynasties Project and argues for the post-mourning hypothesis and the high antiquity of the three-years mourning institution. In Part Three, applying a discovery by E. L. Shaughnessy, the author reconstructs the first 303 bamboo strips of

Despite the increase of research investigating various aspects of the drug problem in Hong Kong in the past decade, little was known about the pathway to continuous drug use or recovery of chronic drug abusers. This book reports upon a pioneer longitudinal study of chronic drug abusers in Hong Kong that used an analytical framework consisting of sociological, psychological and treatment variables to explore the protective and risk factors affecting the relapse or abstinence of chronic drug abusers. The findings of the study have significant implications for theories of drug use and rehabilitation, especially highlighting the roles of social capital, self-efficacy, short-term abstinence and harm reduction in the chronic drug abuser’s road to recovery.

A Pragmatist and His Free Spirit portrays the unconventional love of Hu Shi, a Chinese social reformer and civil rights pioneer, and Edith Clifford Williams, an American avant-garde artist of the early twentieth century. Hu studied at Cornell University, where he first met Williams, and Columbia University, where he worked with the famous pragmatist John Dewey. At the time of his death in 1962, he and Williams had exchanged more than 300 letters that, along with poems and excerpts from Hu's diaries and documents (some of which have never before been translated into English) form the center of this book. In Williams, Hu found his intellectual match, a woman and fellow scholar who helped the reformer reconcile his independent scholarship with cultural tradition. Williams counciled Hu on the acceptance of an arranged marriage, and she influenced his pursuit of experimental vernacular poetry through an exposure to avant-garde art. In 1933, the two became lovers, although their romance wou

Here is a collection of sixteen critical papers which inquire into literary problems found in works of eight British authors (Milton, Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, Arnold, and Graham Greene) as well as four American authors (Emerson, Frost, O’Neill, and Hemingway). Each critical inquiry herein is imagined as a wind made up of the critic’s breath while an author’s work is imagined as an endurable rock on which the wind blows. Readers may get wind of the author or the critic and may know how the wind blows and where it lies, but they are expected not to expect any wind to change the rock noticeably. What we want is merely the readers’ attention and we hope their own winds will duly come to help keep the world in winds.

Vulnerable young people lacking self-esteem and aspiration are usually regarded as more at-risk. They deserve transformational change to ease rising problems associated with property crime, violence, illegal drugs, truancy and exclusion, etc. Written by a host of scholars, frontline practitioners and supervisors of related expertise, this edited volume in nine chapters is a welcome addition to the study of the problems and practical issues of Youth-at-risk (YAR) in the context of Hong Kong. With an excellent and interesting analysis of a wide range of intervention programmes, this volume will help readers explore different initiatives for working with YAR, both theoretically and practically. This book will certainly be of interest to social work and welfare academics, professionals from a range of youth services and voluntary organisations, carers, parents and family networks. Social policy specialists and youth justice students will also find the description of initiatives in the lo

A number of research groups around the world have begun to study how the brain acquires and processes language, but we still know comparatively little about it. Many such groups work on very specific, often narrow, problems. This approach is certainly necessary, but a broad perspective can be helpful, if not essential, too. This volume consists of an important collection of papers presented at the Seminar on Language, Evolution, and the Brain (SLEB), hosted by the International Institute for Advanced Studies in Kyoto, Japan, bringing together distinguished researchers with background in cognitive science, anthropology, linguistics, robotics, physics, etc. Major topics discussed here include: Creoles and pidgins, and their implications regarding language evolution. Quantitative analysis and modeling of various aspects of language evolution, including the evolution of lexical items and color terms, the emergence of linguistics categories, and the dynamics of language competition.

只要讀過外國歷史都知道聖女貞德這位女民族英雄。事件發生於西元1429年的法國，貞德原本只是一位農村少女，十六歲那年得到「神的啟示」，要求她帶兵收復當時由英軍佔領的法國失地，當時正值英法百年戰爭，而她果真帶領法國軍隊擊退英軍，收復失土。然而在兩年後，國王查理七世不再支持貞德，其所帶領的法軍因沒有後援，結果被英軍所俘虜，最後因異端和女巫的罪名當眾被處火刑。 The “Mulan of Europe” was sixteen years old when she set out on her path to save her country and nineteen when she became a martyr. One of the most famous legendary heroines of all time, Joan of Arc, led France to victory over the English. This clear account is based on eyewitness reports recorded in diaries and journals, and reads like an wu xia shao shoa.

Without any doubt, youth are the future of the world. For any nation which hopes to thrive and develop, it is necessary to commit significant resources in facilitating youth development. This book is a collection of papers presented at the International Conference on Youth Empowerment over the last four years. It explores the relationship between youth volunteerism and empowerment which is considered as an inherent cornerstone in the social and psychological growth for youth. Written by a team of experts on issues about youth, the book presents the various theories, models, paradigms and concepts related to youth empowerment and volunteerism. With selected examples in countries around the world, it also reveals to us how different cultures infuse their own history, language, mores, laws, policies, demographics, and socio-political infrastructures in facilitating youth empowerment and volunteerism. Youth hold the key to the world of the future, and empowering youth is actually a human

This study investigates the internal structure of noun phrases In Chinese and argues that number, referentiality, and totality/partitivity are all syntactically represented. Viewing number in a new light, it claims that number in a classifier language is syntactically encoded via the use of a $P, i.e., NumP, the head of which is occupied by a classifier/massifier (cf. Boer 2005). Plurality Is realized differently in a #P via the use of numerals, the plural classifier xie, quantifiers, or the reduplication of classifiers/massiflers. The plural marker-men is a derivational suffix marking either collective plurality or semantic plurality, resolving the problem that syntactic plurality may co-occur with semantic plurality when syntactic plurality marks an indeterminate quantity. Unlike the standard head-complement analysis that assumes a DP-NumP-CIP-DP hierarchy, this study argues that a numeral or a quantifier enters into a relation with a classifier/massilier, forming a UP A P (with or w

所有靠嘴巴打天下的行業，包括行銷、公關、銷售、理專、保險，甚至是仲介或命理師，都有一套不為人知的銷售祕笈，那就是〔I．H．I〕三點不露的銷售法則，只是有人用不同名詞包裝，有人則是每天在用但不自知；I是指自己、He是客戶、It代表產品。 有經驗的銷售員，都是經過〔I．H．I〕訓練的人，當他們在進行產品銷售時，當下必先精準的掌握〔I．H．I〕三者在該銷售過程的比重，而且因應不同客戶隨時調整他的I．H．I定位關係。例如當他不清楚消費者的需求，以及消費者擁有多少產品資訊值時，就等於在He值上（客戶）是零，就算他自己的Ｉ值和產品的IT值很高，在對客戶一無所知之下，他決不會浪費口水先做說明，或是矇著眼睛亂槍打鳥。 相反的，一堆搞不懂〔I．H．I〕法則的銷售員，甚至連自己的IT（產品）值也不夠高，就開始和消費者雞同鴨講，不但浪費時間，也間接趕走了消費者。 本書將透過實戰經驗與案例，告訴你，公關專家之所以能成為談判或銷售高手，祕訣就在於他們懂得將銷售的核心要素──〔I．H．I〕法則，活用在銷售行為模式上，也就是AIDA（Attention注意，Interest興趣，Desire慾望，Action行動）；因此，同樣是AIDA，同樣是運用AIDA來做行銷或銷售，公關專家的功力就是和你不一樣！ 本書就像話術範例或武術招式的速成工具書，目的是讓許多從事行銷公關和銷售服務的朋友們，可以快速成交或談判成功。當你學會這套祕法，除非你想轉行或中了樂透不想再理客戶，否則，客戶就會像橡皮糖一樣，一直黏著你不放！

The International group of contributors of this volume provides, collectively, a multi-layered analysis of the emerging East Asian media culture, using the Korean TV drama as its analytic vehicle. By closely examining the political economy of TV industry, audiences of the regional media flows in terms of gender subjectivity constructions, perceptions of colonial-postcolonial relationships, and nationalist responses to trans-national media culture exchanges, this volume highlights the multiple connectivities and implications of popular cultural flows and exchanges in East Asia. In spite of the obvious flows and exchanges that constitute pan-East Asian Pop Culture as a relatively coherent unit, the academic research community is far behind the cultural industry producers who have long factored the regional consumer market into their production and marketing. This volume is motivated by the need to find both the conceptual and institutional site(s) for the constitution of an East Asian P

This book aims to achieve a breakthrough in relating the development of Hong Kong politics to the future of mainland China and Taiwan, it is for students, researchers, scholars, diplomats and lay people.

Liberalization of Power Market in Taiwan

根據勞工安全衛生研究所於民國八十七年、九十年及九十三年針對各行業受僱者進行工作環境安全衛生狀況調查結果顯示，上肢因工作罹患肌肉骨骼傷害(musculoskeletal disorders, MSDs)之情形，普遍存在於國內職場中。文獻指出由 工作引起之上肢MSDs其主要危害因子包含不當的工作姿勢、過大的施力、重複性以及長時間的暴露，因此可藉由評估作業中是否具備這些危害因子及危害風險之程度，得知作業方式是否需要改善以及改善重點，以防治國內勞工罹患上肢MSDs。本研究引進兩種國外發展用於評估作業中上肢MSDs危害風險之人因工程分析工具Occupational Repetitive Actions(OCRA) Index及Hand Activity Level Threshold Limit Value(HALTLV)，運用此兩種工具評估國內勞工重複性上肢MSDs高風險作業，並根據評估結果，從中找出適用性較佳者，期能提供作業現場安全衛生管理人員參考使用。結果顯示，大部分職業病案例其現場暴露皆大於HALTLV之Action Limit，同時OCRA Index大於2.1屬於紅色危險區。OCRA Index與職業傷病比例相關性較佳，然而HALTLV使用上較簡便。因此，對於作業現場安全衛生管理人員本研究建議使用HALTLV，對於職業病暴露評估則建議使用OCRA Index。

苯乙烯(Styrene)為工業上廣泛使用的化學物質並且是已知的致神經毒性物質。人類暴露於苯乙烯環境下將導致神經系統的慢性疾病，像是導致反應時間變長和對顏色辨識的混淆等。苯乙烯在體內會進一步代謝成苯乙烯氧化物(Styrene oxide; S O)，此物質為致突變劑與致癌物質。在過去的研究中對苯乙烯物質相關的毒理機制還不甚清楚。因此，本研究目的是利用微陣列基因晶片技術探討造船廠工人暴露於苯乙烯物質環境下對其整體基因表現之影響。本研究一共募集到19人其中暴露組有11人包含抽菸者6人與非抽菸者5人及非暴露組8人，個人樣品(含空氣樣品及血液樣品)於當天工作前後收集並且進一步分離血液中的RNA進行微陣列基因晶片分析。晶片分析的結果利用gene ontology tree machine (GOTM)軟體進行表現基因之歸納分析。根據GOTM的分析結果發現暴露組工人相較於非暴露組工人其相關於神經系統發育、胚胎發育、細胞訊息傳遞和視覺認知等基因表現皆受到抑制，因此將影響這些機制之功能。本研究為第一個針對暴露於苯乙烯物質之工人進行整體基因表現之探討並且確認人體經苯乙烯物質暴露後將影響其視覺認知功能。另外，在流行病學之研究中，a. 尿液中苯乙烯代謝物和氧化傷害指標8-OHdG之分析部分，無論是在直接接觸之工作者或者在高濃度苯乙烯暴露者尿液中代謝物MA及PGA均有顯著較高的值(p

Economic integration between Hong Kong and Mainland China is a topic of great interest among both policy circles and the academia. This book is a collection of relevant research papers of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority in the past two years, which study the economic integration process between Hong Kong and the Mainland from different perspectives, including linkages through both the trade and financial market channels. This volume sheds light on the important policy issues facing both Hong Kong and the Mainland, including how resilient the Hong Kong economy is against external shocks, how large portfolio capital outflows from China will be once its capital account is liberalized, and in what ways fund flows between Hong Kong and the Mainland affect Hong Kong’s monetary and financial conditions. With 11 essays, this monograph can be divided into 2 parts. Part I studies the “real” linkages between Hong Kong and the Mainland, while Part II focuses on the financial linkages. A detailed
