Описание:
Among the shelves of books that have been published on Beijing's 1989 Tiananmen Square incident--in Chinese and English, inside and outside China--Mao's Kisses: A Novel of June 4, 1989 is the first novel.
Mao's Kisses is told from the point of view of Ge, the personal notetaker of China's paramount leader at the time, Deng Xiaoping, as well as his main bridge partner. It tracks the events in April and May that led first to the declaration of martial law to quell the turmoil, then to the fatal decision to order the People's Liberation Army to use their Type 68 assault rifles loaded with hollow point bullets against its own students and citizens demonstrating for political reform, and finally to send its Type 59 MBT tanks into Tiananmen (Gate of Heavenly Peace) Square on Sunday, June 4.
Staying astonishingly close to historical accuracy, Ge's narrative chronicles the competing ideologies, betrayals, incompetence and flip-flops among and between the inchoate students and senior Party comrades in another muddled episode of China's history.

Nations have powerful reasons to get their military alliances right. When security pacts go well, they underpin regional and global order; when they fail, they spread wars across continents as states are dragged into conflict. We would, therefore, expect states to carefully tailor their military partnerships to specific conditions. This expectation, Raymond C. Kuo argues, is wrong.
Following the Leader argues that most countries ignore their individual security interests in military pacts, instead converging on a single, dominant alliance strategy. The book introduces a new social theory of strategic diffusion and emulation, using case studies and advanced statistical analysis of alliances from 1815 to 2003. In the wake of each major war that shatters the international system, a new hegemon creates a core military partnership to target its greatest enemy. Secondary and peripheral countries rush to emulate this alliance, illustrating their credibility and prestige by mimicking the dominant form.
Be it the NATO model that seems so commonsense today, or the realpolitik that reigned in Europe of the late nineteenth century, a lone alliance strategy has defined broad swaths of diplomatic history. It is not states' own security interests driving this phenomenon, Kuo shows, but their jockeying for status in a world periodically remade by great powers.
In recent years, we have mourned the deaths of many of the most prominent scholars in Chinese calligraphy and painting working in the United States. Many other scholars have retired. It is time for us to celebrate their scholarship and the American contribution to the study of Chinese calligraphy and painting. The present volume examines critically the historiography of the field of Chinese calligraphy and painting in Postwar America, to assess its achievements, and to explore how various practices in the field have been affected by the personal backgrounds of its scholars and by the constraints of its institutions (such as universities, museums, private and public funding bodies).

Описание: "Exquisite . . . for anyone interested in building a sustainable life that is imbued with vibrant, healthy, mental and emotional clarity, and the most basic human need of all: happiness." -- Donna Farhi, author of Yoga Mind, Body, Spirit For centuries, Chinese leaders and seekers have embraced the art of self-cultivation, xiu yang ("sheow-yaang"). A simple yet powerful principle, xiu yang fosters the capacity to be fully human and awake, finding balance and peace at home and in the community. Author Mimi Kuo-Deemer leads readers through a combination of practices from meditation and mindfulness to yoga and qigong, offering ancient wisdom to help address contemporary challenges. "A treasure chest for the heart and mind, a potent tonic for body and breath, and a vibrant life essence for the spirit." -- Simon Low, Principal of the Yoga Academy "A beautiful and timely gift." -- Sifu Matthew Cohen, Sacred Energy Arts Founder "Profound and powerful." -- Noman Blair, author of Brightening Our Inner Skies "Kuo-Deemer doesn't simply write about these ancient teachings, she shares the fruits of practicing them, processing timeless truths in her own heart and mind and body, so that we can do so in ours. Xiu Yang gives glimpses of her own transformational self-cultivation, while showing us a path for our own." -- Martin Lylward, Co-Founder, The Mindfulness Institute "Almost lost in China over the past century's onslaught of modernization, xiu yang is now at the center of Chinese people's search for values and belief -- a tribute to the enduring power of these ancient practices. In this slender but powerful book, Mimi Kuo-Deemer unlocks xiu yang for the modern reader, de-mystifying it without losing the eternal, timeless qualities that have made it one of Chinese people's most potent ways of living a good, honorable, happy, and healthy life." -- Ian Johnson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Souls of China: The Return of Religion After Mao
