The Chinese Machiavelli 3000 Years of Chinese Statecraft

The Chinese Machiavelli 3000 Years of Chinese Statecraft

Machiavelli drew on 2000 years of history to develop theories on how to make war how to win battles and how to gain power and keep it. Using Machiavelli as a springboard Dennis and Ching Ping Bloodworth boldly and adroitly map out 3000 years of Chinese political-military history-from Confucius to Mao Zedong-using Machiavell's discourse of power politics. They reveal a pageantry of Chinese historical figures from wise strategists heroic generals crafty statesmen and ruthless emperors to brave knights-errant and from stately Confucian philosophers to shrewd cunning Legalist thinkers without the usual Confucian restraint. The Chinese Machiavelli intends to help Western readers who may be puzzled by Chinese diplomatic and military strategy understand the principles that have guided both past and present Chinese leaders. For instance why have modern communist Chinese leaders often befriended right-wing European politicians who are out of office rather than left-wing leaders in power? Why did they entertain President Nixon while the United States was at war with North Vietnam? Within the framework of a chronological history concentrating on power politics and using the social and cultural scene as a backdrop the Bloodworths use China's long history to find answers. Peter Li's preface for this new edition explains the structure of the book and offers a penetrating analysis of the authors' style and method. Although The Chinese Machiavelli is authored for the general public rather than for the specialist the latter will also benefit from reading this history. The authors describe the continuity of Chinese history and reveal how knowledge of China's past sheds light on the political behavior of China's rulers today. | The Chinese Machiavelli 3000 Years of Chinese Statecraft

The Charnoly Body A Novel Biomarker of Mitochondrial Bioenergetics

The Charnoly Body A Novel Biomarker of Mitochondrial Bioenergetics

Diversified physicochemical injuries trigger Charnoly body (CB) formation as pleomorphic electron-dense multi-lamellar stacks of nonfunctional mitochondrial membranes in the most vulnerable cell. Free radicals induce downregulation of mitochondrial DNA microRNA AgNOR and epigenetics to trigger CB molecular pathogenesis. CB is eliminated by energy (ATP)-driven lysosome-dependent charnolophagy as a basic molecular mechanism of intracellular detoxification to prevent acute and chronic diseases. Accumulation of CB at the junction of axon hillock and charnolosome (CS) at the synapses causes cognitive impairments; whereas nonspecific induction of CB causes GIT stress myelosuppression alopecia neurotoxicity cardiotoxicity and infertility in multidrug-resistant malignancies. Hence stem cell-specific CB charnolophagy and CS agonists/antagonists are introduced as novel charnolopharmacotherapeutics for the successful treatment of cardiovascular diseases neurodegenerative diseases infectious diseases drug addiction and cancer. Nanoparticles to improve drug delivery CS exocytosis and disease-specific spatiotemporal charnolosomics employing correlative and combinatorial bioinformatics boost mitochondrial bioenergetics through balanced diet exercise and antioxidants.

Japanese Politeness An Enquiry

Japanese Politeness An Enquiry

Although the Japanese language is one of the most quoted examples in politeness research extant publications focus on particular areas of politeness and very few of them enquire into the varied aspects of Japanese politeness. In this book Yasuko Obana provides an integrated account of what signifies Japanese politeness. By examining how far previous assumptions can apply to Japanese Obana exposes a variety of characteristics of Japanese politeness. By taking a diachronic approach she probes into what constitutes politeness extracts key elements of the term ‘polite’ in Japanese and demonstrates how modern honorifics’ apparent diverse divergent uses and effects can be integrated into a systematic matrix. Furthermore by quoting traditional Japanese language scholars’ (kokugo gakusha) studies Obana brings different views into the open. She also carves out politeness strategies in Japanese that have not been adequately explored to date and which often conform to the way in which honorifi cs behave because they refl ect social indexicality. This book is a good reference for scholars in pragmatics particularly for those who are working on politeness. It is useful for Japanese language teachers who want to know how to teach Japanese politeness to non-native learners. Postgraduate students of Japanese or pragmatics may also find this book useful for self-study. | Japanese Politeness An Enquiry

Reading Gender Studies on Medieval Manuscripts and Medievalist Movies

Reading Gender Studies on Medieval Manuscripts and Medievalist Movies

This collection brings together twelve essays published between 1988 and 2014 two of which are here translated into English from (respectively) their original French or German. All the essays use gender as the main category of analysis whether of late ancient or early medieval texts or of modern medievalist films. The historical studies of medieval Europe emphasize the use of manuscript-level evidence that is actual sources from the period in question; arguably this approach provides a more accurate understanding of the period than does work done on the basis of printed and edited sources. Furthermore many of the manuscript-based essays specifically exploit liturgical or liturgy-adjacent materials; this is an area of research and a type of manuscript that has rarely been approached through a gendered lens. Meanwhile the cinematic medievalism essays focus on the processes of remediation and adaptation searching specifically for points at which filmmaking teams diverged from their sources as evidence for the main goals of the films (while also attending to production contexts and to reception). The juxtaposition in a single collection of scholarship on medieval manuscripts and modern movies illustrates how period specialists can contribute to conversations in the field of (historical) film studies. The book will be of interest to historians of women gender Christian liturgy medieval Europe medievalism and historical film.

Norse Greenland: Viking Peasants in the Arctic

Norse Greenland: Viking Peasants in the Arctic

How could a community of 2000–3000 Viking peasants survive in Arctic Greenland for 430 years (ca. 985–1415) and why did they finally disappear? European agriculture in an Arctic environment encountered serious ecological challenges. The Norse peasants faced these challenges by adapting agricultural practices they had learned from the Atlantic and North Sea coast of Norway. Norse Greenland was the stepping stone for the Europeans who first discovered America and settled briefly in Newfoundland ca. AD 1000. The community had a global significance which surpassed its modest size. In the last decades scholars have been nearly unanimous in emphasising that long-term climatic and environmental changes created a situation where Norse agriculture was no longer sustainable and the community was ruined. A secondary hypothesis has focused on ethnic confrontations between Norse peasants and Inuit hunters. In the last decades ethnic violence has been on the rise in Eastern Europe the Middle East and parts of Africa. In some cases it has degenerated into ethnic cleansing. This has strengthened the interest in ethnic violence in past societies. Challenging traditional hypotheses is a source of progress in all science. The present book does this on the basis of relevant written and archaeological material respecting the methodology of both sciences. | Norse Greenland: Viking Peasants in the Arctic

Architect: The evolving story of a profession

Architect: The evolving story of a profession

The architect’s role is constantly adapting. Throughout history it has shifted significantly shaped by social cultural technological and economic forces. The very definition of what an architect is and does has evolved over time from lead builder or master mason to principal designer. A collaborative and reactive profession it is inextricably linked to the power of the patron whether the client is an influential and affluent individual or a political commercial civic or religious organisation. From Ancient Egypt where architects were members of the ruling class tied into the running of the empire to the 21st century when questions are being raised about the future of the profession this book with its engaging narrative explores the constant threads that remain as the profession adapts. While architects are no longer deified their ability to imagine a new impending reality in built form implies a visionary dimension to their work. By focusing on both the practicalities of the profession and the more intangible motivations behind design – humans’ need to make a mark upon their surroundings – this volume provides a critical overview of over 3000 years of practice and education. Looking at the key questions of where the architectural profession originated in the Western tradition why it is how it is today and where it might be going next the authors postulate that architects’ ability to adapt and reinvent themselves in the past will stand them in good stead for the uncertainties of the future. | Architect: The evolving story of a profession
