        Tchaikovsky: The Seasons - Picture Book

        by Editor-in-chief Zhang Mingzhou

        Tchaikovsky: The Seasons - Picture Book Series, chief-edited by Zhang Mingzhou, the former president of the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), is a set of picture books presenting the arts of music, literature, and drawing. The book series uses Tchaikovsky's piano suite "The Seasons" as the theme music, with the famous Russian pianist Andrei Ivanovich being invited to play the music (readers can scan the QR code and then listen). As the music mingles with vigorous poetry penned by renowned Russian writers including Pushkin and Tolstoy, the book creates a picturesque natural scene under the drawing pens of Oleynikov, winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, Antonenkov, Gui Tuzi, Ma Xiaode, and other Chinese and Russian illustrators, allowing children to appreciate the beauty of nature in poetic reading

        Plant Biotechnology, Second Edition

        by William G. Hopkins; Series Editor: William G. Hopkins

        Over the past 25 years, terms like genetic modification, genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology, and biotechnology have become commonplace in the news and in the public vocabulary. But biotechnology has in fact been practiced for thousands of years, with the aim of harnessing organisms for processing food and making useful products. Since the 1980s, however, recombinant DNA technology has given us the ability to modify organisms in the most fundamental way. The modification of plants by these new techniques has unleashed a storm of public controversy worldwide. Plant Biotechnology, Second Edition brings perspective to the discussion. Tracing the history of biotechnology, from its origins in antiquity through its foundations as a science in the work of Louis Pasteur to the birth of modern genetic engineering, this eBook describes traditional uses for plants, reveals how they are genetically engineered, and explains how new technology compares with conventional ways of generating new food plants. Readers will find that this accessible introduction dispels some of the myths surrounding genetic engineering, clearly presents the current impact and future potential of genetically modified plants, and provides a balanced look at the risks and benefits of biotechnology.

        AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRADITIONAL MALAY LITERATURE

        by Muhammad Haji Salleh (Editor)

        This anthology of traditional and classical works is a collection of poetry and fiction, legal digests, epistles and religious treatises, narrated, sung or written in the Malay language, in the Malay Archipelago. This language was and is widespread in the Malay Peninsula, Singapore, Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei, in Kalimantan, (Indonesian Borneo), including Pontianak, Ketapang, Sintang, Banjarmasin, Kutai and Samarinda. It was the lingua franca for most of Insular Southeast Asia and even in parts of Continental Southeast Asia, and to be found in Southern Thailand, in the provinces of Satun, Patani and Nakorn Sithammarat, and some islands in Southern Philippines. This time-span of traditional Malay literature covers a period from the earliest beginnings of oral works, through the inscriptions on stone and metal, and through further developments in oral storytelling, the advent of writing. In the decades of the 18th and 19th centuries a collision with western colonial powers and their cultures has resulted in a literature that reflected this traumatic confrontation and also, the so-called ‘modern’ elements. Along with this too we notice the rise of the new genres of the report, the travelogue, the autobiography and biography, which interestingly are prominent antecedents of modern literature.
