by Laoteng, whose real name is Teng Zhenfu, is a member of the Tenth Presidium of the China Writers Association and is currently the Party Secretary and Chairman of the Liaoning Writers Association. He has published ten novels, includingThe Northeast China, The Numerous Armed Conflicts,and The Forests of Beizhang;eight collections of novels, such as The Black Thrush and A City Without Crows; and three cultural essays, such as Confucian Notes. He has won the 15th and 16th Five-One Project Awards,respectively, and The Northeast China has been selected on the list of 2021 Chinese Good Books.
"Never invest beyond theShanhai Pass", as the saying goes.The particular cultural environment and openness make the brain drain in Northeast China extremely serious. However, Miao Qing, a seemingly delicate doctoral student from a famous school, resolutely went northward because she had a personal plan thatwas related to both her father and herself, namely, to design a world-leading large aircraft. Her father once said that just as a poet without imagination must be a lousy poet, a country without advanced aircraft could never escape the fate of a backward country. For this reason, Miao Qing started her career atKunpeng Group, later went to Feiying Company to produce a leading small low-altitude aerial drone, and then sheplayed the leading role in the national G-31 project that designed a stealth supersonic aircraft and made a successful trial flight.

Sleipness, Maria Anunciação Ventura, Therez B. Walker
Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up, informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive decision-making. Global perspectives are presented and contextualized at the local level of gateway communities in an attempt to balance nature, community, and commerce, while supporting the triple bottom line of sustainable tourism. While anticipating a post-COVID 19 global shift, readers are encouraged to think through transformation and resiliency in regard to how the flux of supply vs demand alters gateway community perspectives on tourism. Specific features of this book include: · Focus on transformations, which provides insight into the complex and dynamic nature of gateway communities. · Multidisciplinary, multi-cultural insights into protected area management. · Applied and conceptual chapters from global perspectives.

Un ours dans mon lit et un chacal dans mon four
by Avinoam Lourie et Cissy Shapiro
Un ours dans mon lit et un chacal dans mon four De drôles d’aventures d’un zoologue de la vie sauvage israélien par Avinoam Lourie et Cissy Shapiro Combien de personnes peuvent se vanter d’avoir eu un ours syrien dans leur lit ? Ou d’avoir réchauffé un chacal dans leur four ? D’avoir été chargé par les cornes d’un chevreuil jaloux ? D’avoir été attaqué par un tigre ? Ou encore de voir des singes se balancer du lustre de leur salon ? Et d’avoir égaré un serpent dans un avion ? Ce sont quelques unes des expériences passionnées, amusantes et éducatives qu’a vécues, avec une variété d’animaux sauvages exotiques, le zoologue israélien Avinoam Lourie, ainsi que les membres de sa famille. Il les raconte avec enthousiasme et humour, de sa manière spirituelle et la sagesse bien connues qui captivent ses lecteurs. Avinoam Lourie a participé à amener en Israël plusieurs espèces en danger ; il s’est vu décerner la Médaille d’Honneur du Président de l’Etat d’Israël et il a été sélectionné comme l’un des « 100 Notables de la Ville » de Haïfa. « Ayant accompagné Avi sur le terrain quand il apprenait à de nouvelles générations d’israéliens à connaître leurs écosystèmes natifs, c’est une joie de partager le drame, l’humour, et les dessous refermés dans ce recueil fascinant », Sneed Collard III, auteur et éditeur, habitant à Missoula, au Montana, lauréat du Prix des œuvres non fictionnelles de la Guilde du livre d’enfants du Washington Post. « Beaucoup de nos amis avaient des chiens, des chats et autres animaux domestiques, mais aucun n’a vu son père rentrer à la maison avec un tigre, un ours ou même un singe, comme cela arrivait chez nous ! », Dr Barak Lourie (le fils cadet d’Avinoam), de Haïfa, Israël. « Il m’a appris que les animaux sont juste comme les personnes : conduisez-vous bien vis-à-vis d’eux et ils vous traiteront de même » résumé du message d’Avinoam par un de ses étudiants à la classe de 4ème de l’école secondaire de Vie naturelle et d’écologie de premier cycle de Green Bay, au Wisconsin.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2024Inner empire
Architecture and Imperialism in the British Isles, 1550-1950
by Daniel Maudlin, Alex Bremner
Inner Empire explores the impact of imperial cultures on the landscapes and urban environments of the British Isles from the sixteenth century through to the twentieth century. It asserts that Britain's four-hundred year entanglement with global empire left its mark upon the British Isles as much as it did the wider world. Buildings stood as one of the most conspicuous manifestations of the myriad relationships that Britain maintained with the theory and practice of colonialism in its modern history. Divided into two main sections, the volume's content considers 'internal' colonisation and its infrastructures of control, order, and suppression, alongside wider relationships between architecture, the imperial economy, and cultural identity. Taken together, the essays in this volume present for the first time a coherent analysis of the British Isles as an imperial setting understood through its buildings, spaces, and infrastructure.

June 2021The origin of Bianque's medicine-the method of four clocks
by Fan Jiaru, Lu Junzhi
Four-clock pulse method is an ancient pulse method that has been lost. In the "Huangdi Neijing", only its name and a simple description of the four-clock pulse state are left. In the "Historical Records of Bianque Cang Biography", there are many diagnosis cases of Cang Gong They all use the four-clock pulse method, even Zhang Zhongjing's "The Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" mentions this pulse method, but how to use it has been lost. Now through the concerted efforts of the two authors Fan Jiaru and Lu Junzhi, combined with theoretical construction and clinical verification, we finally took a crucial step in restoring the four-clock pulse method and found the correct way to use it. This book is a perfect combination of traditional Chinese medicine theory and clinical cases. It allows everyone to have both theoretical understanding and case proofs when learning Chinese medicine. Learning to understand the four-clock pulse method can help you understand the precious medical records of ancient Chinese medicine, and it can also help you Have a deeper understanding of "internal difficulties" and open the door to correctly learn "internal difficulties".

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2014Lordship in four realms
The Lacy family, 1166–1241
by Steve Rigby, Colin Veach
This book examines the rise and fall of the aristocratic Lacy family in England, Ireland, Wales and Normandy. This involves a unique analysis of medieval lordship in action, as well as a re-imagining of the role of English kingship in the western British Isles and a rewriting of seventy-five years of Anglo-Irish history. By viewing the political landscape of Britain and Ireland from the perspective of one aristocratic family, this book produces one of the first truly transnational studies of individual medieval aristocrats. This results in an in-depth investigation of aristocratic and English royal power over five reigns, including during the tumultuous period of King John and Magna Carta. By investigating how the Lacys sought to rule their lands in four distinct realms, this book also makes a major contribution to current debates on lordship and the foundations of medieval European society.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2009The four funerals in Beowulf
by Gale Owen-Crocker
It is well known that the old English poem Beowulf begins and ends with funerals and includes the third as a digression part way through. Now, for the first time, a fourth funeral (hitherto disguised as poetic imagery) is identified from archaeological evidence. A detailed analysis of the four funerals establishes their thematic and structural importance, revealing them as pillars around which the poem is built. The poet is revealed as a literate antiquarian of considerable structural skill; one who explores feminist issues, plays with numbers and enjoys a pun; who establishes an ideal then probes its darker side. The author's unique knowledge of Anglo-Saxon culture provides constant surprises and enlightenment. This book will be invaluable to all students of the poem for its fresh and detailed reading, its identification of a coherent structure and its establishment of the integrity of the surviving texts. ;
