Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2024Hariulf’s History of St Riquier
by Kathleen Thompson
A new and accessible translation of Hariulf's History of St Riquier, this book examines the history of a monastic community from the seventh to the eleventh century. It covers the ascetic life of the founding saint and the development of the community under the Carolingians in the late eighth and ninth centuries. There were setbacks when the house was sacked by the Vikings and the founder's relics were stolen for political ends, but it recovered in the tenth and eleventh centuries and developed the links with both the Norman and English courts that enable Hariulf to make interesting observations about the Norman Conquest of England. Hariulf's description of the monastic site with its three churches and the liturgical arrangements practised there, as well as the relics, treasures, books and endowments of a great monastic foundation, make his history an important source for monastic history.

The Mask that Loves Counting
by Author: Luo XiIllustrator: Luo Xi
Key Points: Growth in the time of departure teaches children to face up to the difficulties, harvest love, and make progress. Brief content Since her father works in Africa for the local construction assistance, only the little girl and her mother are at home. During a grocery shopping, her mother happens to have close contact with someone who is later confirmed as a COVID-19 case. The mother worries about the possibility that she might be infected by the virus, so she isolates herself in a small room in quarantine. On the one hand, there is the helpless little girl full of fear and worry; on the other hand, the mother has no choice but to try everything she can to patiently comfort her daughter. A short distance away, and yet poles apart. Fortunately, the community staff come to their aid in time. Reading Guidance Why does mom, who is there every day, now hide herself away? The title of this book proposes a question. After reading, it turns out that this is mom’s only choice under special circumstances. Through the action of "hiding", this picture book brings out love and bonds between parents and children. The change of the child's behaviors after the mother hides away shows courage and growth. The timely help of the community staff demonstrates the touching love in the world.

November 2019Ten Suns
by Zhou Jing,Chen Yunxing
Ten Suns was recounted by children's literature writer Zhou Jing, and contemporary painter Chen Yunxing re-engraving stories and characters in the style of Chinese painting. The integration of the poetry of the text and the thickness of the painting is a wonderful interpretation of ancient myths, which expresses the unique Chinese charm and Chinese spirit. The story in this book can be regarded as the prequel to the story of Houyi Shot Suns. The main story is why the ten suns appeared in the sky together. The author had a bold imagination and depicted the curiosity and naughtiness of the sun brothers. The story of Houyi was written through the surrival and death of the ten suns in the sky. This angle is novel and full of childlikeness.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017Conflict, Politics and Proselytism
Methodist missionaries in colonial and postcolonial Burma, 1887–1966
by Andrew Thompson, Michael D. Leigh, John M. MacKenzie
This book is a study of the ambitions, activities and achievements of Methodist missionaries in northern Burma from 1887-1966 and the expulsion of the last missionaries by Ne Win. The story is told through painstaking original research in archives which contain thousands of hitherto unpublished documents and eyewitness accounts meticulously recorded by the Methodist missionaries. This accessible study constitutes a significant contribution to a very little-known area of missionary history. Leigh pulls together the themes of conflict, politics and proselytisation in to a fascinating study of great breadth. The historical nuances of the relationship between religion and governance in Burma are traced in an accessible style. This book will appeal to those teaching or studying colonial and postcolonial history, Burmese politics, and the history of missionary work.

by Manuel Marín
Life seeks the most simple ways toward efficiency. In this case, these lizards are a cylinder with variations. The form translates into volume, which in its variations presents itself as Figures. Every figure has volume that has height, width, and length, all which interact together. Form, figure, volume, simplicity, variation, variables. The combination of all of this helps us to appreciate the beauty in animals’ bodies. 10 paper cut- out sculptures to assemble the lizards.
