Описание: This book offers a new perspective on Chinese urban history by exploring cities as habitable spaces. China, the world’s most populous nation, is now its newest urban society, and the pace of this unprecedented historical transformation has increased in recent decades. The contributors to this book conceptualise cities as first providing the necessities of life, and then becoming places in which the quality of life can be improved. They focus on how cities have been made secure during times of instability, how their inhabitants have consumed everything from the simplest of foods to the most expensive luxuries, and how they have been planned as ideal spaces. Drawing examples from across the country, this book offers comparisons between different cities, highlights continuities across time and space—and in doing so may provide solutions to some of the problems that continue to affect Chinese cities today.

Описание: "After Claire" is an ambitious, suspense-filled novel that taps into the gritty heart of psychotherapy. By adding a psychological twist to the standard crime genre, author John Wallis takes readers on a unique, page-turning journey. The novel begins with a routine trip to a grocery story that turns out to be not routine at all. Paul Masons wife, Claire, unexpectedly tells him she wants a divorce. Alarmed and confused, Paul runs a red light - resulting in an accident that kills Claire. As Paul tries to resume his life as a psychotherapist and father to nine-year--old Allie, he finds that nothing will ever be the same - especially after Allie finds out just how her mother died. Paul eventually begins to work with a new psychotherapy patient, Angela. Especially because his personal life is so compromised, Paul is powerfully motivated to help Angela, who wants to break off her relationship with a much older, drug cartel-connected lover, Carlos. Carlos shows up at Pauls office and reels off where his daughter, Allie goes to school, who her teachers are, and asks how shes doing since her mom died. Paul understands this to be a threat to harm Allie if he doesnt terminate his work with Angela. Paul continues to work with Angela, but then Carlos makes Paul an offer he cant refuse - take him on as a patient, or Carlos will have Pauls legs broken. After working a brief time with Carlos, whom he both loathes and fears, Paul quits his psychotherapy practice altogether to become a life-coach on a cruise line. Six years later, Angela shows up on one of Pauls cruises wanting to resume their work. Shortly after, Allie goes missing. A crime-filled thriller filled with elements of psychology; this is a must-read for fans of fiction!
