In Socializing Medicine, Pao-chen Tang, Yuqian Yan, and Ling Zhang explore the intersections of medicine, health, and East Asian media. Interweaving archival research, audiovisual analyses, and theoretical insights from the emerging field of health humanities, the book reveals the multifaceted ways in which the mass media—from photography and film to television and live streaming—has been deployed as a tool for controlling medicine and health, privileging those with power and authority from the early twentieth century to the present. Adopting anti-colonial and anti-capitalist perspectives, the contributors in this volume challenge the dominant mediations of health against the backdrop of imperialism, Cold War geopolitical tensions, and neoliberal capitalism. Collectively, they advocate for alternative understandings of medical culture through media productions that envision accessible and equitable healthcare practices.

The abolition movement in the United States―the fight against slavery―likely would have been less powerful and effective without the women of the movement. Yet, even in this fight for freedom, women were often sidelined by their male counterparts. Still, certain mission-driven American women were tenacious in their quest to free the enslaved peoples on American soil. This important book introduces readers to the significant groups and individuals who spoke out and put their lives at risk to halt American slavery. Fact boxes, sidebars, and historical images aid in supporting key curricular content.

本書所談的是中文電腦史。然而更重要的是，它是通往書寫歷史新時代的初步路線圖。從「拼音」步入「超書寫」　數位時代的中文如何從巨大的檢索字盤，走到現今的「超書寫」快速輸入？--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------「《中文數位探索》是第一本探討數位時代中文發展史的書籍，以跨越十五年以上的研究為基礎，追溯了電子化中文從二戰結束誕生後，直至今日的繁榮發展過程。這部作品基於口述歷史、實體文物及來自亞洲、歐洲和北美幾十家館藏檔案。描述了包括IBM、中國中央新聞社、RCA、麻省理工學院、中央情報局、美國空軍、美國陸軍、五角大廈、蘭德公司、英國電信巨頭Cable and Wireless（大東電報局）、矽谷、台灣軍方、日本工業界，以及中國大陸的高層智庫、工業和軍事機構中，那些古怪且精彩的人物故事。」本書是墨磊寧教授研究漢字從打字機時代到資訊時代的輸入法演進過程的第二本書。承接第一本《中文打字機》的論述，這本《中文數位探索》從1940年代美國IBM公司推出的中文打字機開始談起，談論中文字如何與電腦結合，結合過程當中的各種輸入法嘗試，也會觸及當前數位時代的漢字輸入展望。本書要回答的核心問題，是《中文打字機》裡尚未被完全解決的一個大哉問：「如何用一組鍵盤打出上百萬字的中文？」這曾經被認為是不可能的事，卻在漢字化入拼音系統後，在電腦時代達成了。這也造就了當前漢字的廣泛流通。在個人電腦仍是雛形的時代，中文輸入就以圖形組成的方式，部首拆分的方式，集結各路菁英的熱情投入，研究出各種各樣的組合輸入方式。也因著QWERTY鍵盤在電腦輸入上成為主流，而使輸入方式聚焦在這有限的鍵盤上，衍生出倉頡、注音、拼音等各種輸入法，對輸入法的研究熱情在華文世界至今仍未休止。硬體的改進也促進了中文輸入的速度，從插入漢卡，到隨著電腦容量與計算能力的激增，一步步打造中文輸入更順暢的世界。本書提出中文輸入的六大面向，依時序分章探討，包括自動完成、中文鍵盤、輸入法戰爭、印表機周邊、中文模組化，以及所謂「超書寫」的出現如何衝擊並影響了中文輸入法及漢字的未來。另外，作者也觀察到當前中文在網路世界盛行的風潮，以及新一代中國年輕人「提筆忘字」的危機。這兩個並存但矛盾的現

Hong Kong and Macau have both been Special Administrative Regions of China since 1999. To this day, however, the two SARs and mainland China have yet to form a cohesive agreement for extradition. Yanhong Yin proposes a theoretical model—the China Arrest Warrant—that fulfils three essential criteria: compliance with the framework of “One Country, Two Systems,” allowance for differences within the three divergent legal systems, and sufficient human rights protection.This model takes direct inspiration from the European Arrest Warrant, which is undergirded by the principle of mutual recognition—the idea that while states may make different decisions on a wide range of matters, results will be accepted as equivalent to decisions made by one’s own state. The success of the European Union’s adoption of mutual recognition across political, economic, and legal situations is instrumental in providing a blueprint for judicial cooperation among mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR. This a
