Still on the Earth
by Yu Xiuhua
Still on the Earth is the first novel of Yu Xiuhua the poet. Taking Yu Xiuhua as the archetypal character, the novel has depicted the story of a disabled woman who suffers, fights and chooses “being-towards-death”. As she is ill with cerebral palsy, Zhou Yu, the heroine, has been ignored and even discarded by nearly everyone and the whole society. However, she yearns for being treated as a healthy and normal person instead of being offered with any pity or disdain. All she wants is just equality. Driven by the lack of love, the misfortune of family as well as various encounters in life, Zhou Yu employs poems to express her feelings. Finally she creates a literary realm with her poems and gets acknowledged. The author calmly narrates the unfortunate life of disabled people and turns the darkness and love deep down in her heart into the nutrients for growth, thereby achieving the spiritual state featured with reality, optimism, braveness and calmness.

December 2018The Complete Collection of Modern Chinese Prints by Lu Xun
by Editorial Board of the Complete Works of Modern Chinese Prints Collected by Lu Xun
This series contains about 1,800 modern prints collected by Lu Xun at that time, which authored by nearly 200 domestic printmakers and currently in the Lu Xun Memorial Hall in Shanghai and the Lu Xun Museum in Beijing. It is showcasing the glorious history of modern Chinese woodcut art: In the 1920s and 1930s, in order to guide the artistic direction of Chinese literary youth, smashed the KMT’s counter-revolutionary cultural " encirclement and suppression", Mr. Lu Xun held a "woodcut workshop" in Shanghai, and cultivated a group of emerging woodcut backbone. These backbones led young artists in various regions of the country to create a large number of realistic works reflecting the suffering and tragic fate of the people at the bottom of the society at that time. They cruelly lashed the dark reality of society and called for national salvation and survival. These young woodcutters sent their woodcut works to Lu Xun, who not only guided their creation personally, but also spared no effort to collect, publicize and promote them to the public. With the active advocacy and support of Mr. Lu Xun, the emerging woodcut movement in China has developed vigorously, driving the modernization of Chinese art and leaving an indelible glorious footprint in the history of Chinese modern culture and art. This complete collection is a companion to the The Complete Collection of Foreign Prints by Lu Xun published in 2014.

Nursing & ancillary servicesWhat We Can Still Do!
Basal Stimulation in End-of-life Care
by Stephan Kostrzewa / Marion Kutzner
Meeting those who are dying often leaves people feeling helpless and lost for words. Nurses face the questions “What can we still do?” and “How can we provide adequate support for the dying on their final journey?” The authors answer these questions by transferring the concept of basal stimulation to support for the dying and describe its possible applications in palliative care and hospice work. They document the differences between end-of-life care in hospices, hospitals and retirement homes. They describe how peoples’ experience, perception and bodily functions change during the dying process and what alleviates their symptoms. In so doing, they also demonstrate how nurses overcome hesitancy and insecurity through touch and support and allow hands and gestures to talk when verbal language falls silent.

Art: general interest (Children's/YA)2017Los animales de El Bosco (The Animals of Hieronymus Bosch)
by Manuel Marín
The first artist to enter the realm of fantasy was Hieronymus Bosch. He revels in the delights of pleasure. He relishes eating giant fruits, running on water and flying on top of a fish. He is joyful without even realizing it. Bosch is also aware that serenity and calmness let things be seen as they are. No one before had ever seen our feelings as we get lost in the madness of invisible realities.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 1998Neville Chamberlain, appeasement and the British road to war
by Frank McDonough, Mark Greengrass
Re-examines the controversial policy of appeasement. The text suggests that the mood of the age in British society served to support appeasement, by analyzing the cluster of military, strategic, imperial and economic forces which served to justify it. The book argues that, when Neville Chamberlain came to power, appeasement was part of a broad consensus in British society to avoid a second world war. It provides an interpretation of Chamberlain's conduct by showing how he used and abused the mood of the age to justify a selfish and ambitious policy which was idealogically prejudiced. Yet, when Hitler entered Prague in March 1939, the public mood changed, and Chamberlain found himself a prisoner of a new mood which forced him to make a tactical and half-hearted attempt to stand up to Hitler for which he had no enthusiasm. ;

The Collected Works of Zhou Zuoren
by ZHOU ZUOREN
Zhou Zuoren has always been called the "king of short prose". His essays are the culmination of Chinese vernacular prose. Contemporaries such as Lu Xun, Hu Shi, and Yu Pingbo have commented on it. He is erudite and knowledgeable, and his writings are all-encompassing. He is generally acknowledged as his literary style to be calm and dilute. His essays always permeate humanistic observations, which are both profound and forward-looking, and contain the plain and sincere of life, allowing readers to taste the classic aesthetics of prose in his dilute and simple texts, but also You can experience a rich life and harvest the wisdom of thinking.
