The rulers of the Ming dynasty enacted paradigms of hierarchical order. Like imperial families, households, and courts in earlier Chinese dynasties, they articulated patriarchal, patrilineal, and patrilocal organizational principles as exemplars for families and institutions throughout the empire. Women made indispensable contributions to the development of these paradigms and principles and to the social, cultural, and political fabric of the family and the state. And yet, in the existing literature in Chinese and English women are often burdened with stereotypes, positioned as peripheral, or rendered almost invisible.Reading available texts “against the grain,” and drawing on a trove of evidence from material culture, Soulliere shows how women defined a place for themselves in the multigenerational Ming imperial family, imperial household, and court. The Empress and the Dragon Throne spans the first Ming century from just before the founding of the dynasty in 1368 to the end of the T

訴訟是一隻很奇特兇惡的猛獸，它看似平凡，讓爭議人很輕易地使用它來伸張正義及懲罰他人。可是，一旦訴諸法律，爭議人是很難全身而退，不受任何傷害的。訴訟破壞彼此的關係，加深仇恨，無助解決紛爭，最終導致兩敗俱傷，亦可能令爭議人傾家蕩產。為了避免訴訟，爭議人可選擇調解替代，以解決糾紛。調解是解決紛爭、締結雙贏甚至是多贏的白武士。本書介紹了調解和調解所需的法律知識和技巧，鼓勵更多人士參與專業調解，減少日益繁重的訴訟及它們所帶來的負面影響，締造和諧社會，達至「以和為貴」的理想境界。《解決衝突與調解技巧》第三版比較了「評估調解模式」與「促進調解模式」兩個方法的利弊，並說明了香港和內地撰寫和解協議書在法律上的異同。第三版亦新增數個章節，解釋何謂虛假調解及其刑責輕重、律師在調解的執業行為規範以及執行商事調解的法律基礎。
