Children's & YAThe Path of Golden Flowers
China Story Picture Books
by Ge Cuilin
China Story Picture Books is the first set of children's picture books launched by the Bingxin Award Committee. This set of books covers the works of seven Bingxin Award-winning writers of different ages including children's literature masters and promising young writers. The illustrations are full of traditional Chinese cultural elements such as dragon lantern dance, paper cutting, oil paper umbrella, and bamboo. Powerful painters at home and abroad are invited to do illustrations, which brings interesting fusion and collision of Chinese and foreign cultures to the books. In addition to the original illustrations, the stories are more touching. Every child can harvest the courage and wisdom for growing up from these stories. The series consists of 7 picture books: The Dragon Lantern, The Path of Golden Flowers, The Child in Three-Story Attic, The School Day Gifts, The Secret of Crossing, The Slope of Sisters. The Path of Golden Flowers tells a traditional Chinese folk tale about persistence and inheritance. Once upon a time, a skillful carpenter surnamed Tong walked along a dangerous mountain road. He casually scattered some wood shavings, and these shavings took root and then bloomed with golden flowers, formed a path of golden flowers.

The ArtsSeptember 2021Building reputations
Architecture and the artisan, 1750–1830
by Conor Lucey
Taking a cue from revisionist scholarship on early modern vernacular architectures and their relationship to the classical canon, this book rehabilitates the reputations of a representative if misunderstood building typology - the eighteenth-century brick terraced house - and the artisan communities of bricklayers, carpenters and plasterers responsible for its design and construction. Opening with a cultural history of the building tradesman in terms of his reception within contemporary architectural discourse, chapters consider the design, decoration and marketing of the town house in the principal cities of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British Atlantic world. The book is essential reading for students and scholars of the history of architectural design and interior decoration specifically, and of eighteenth-century society and culture generally.

September 2016The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology
Präsentiert von Slavoj Žižek
by Slavoj Žižek, Sophie Fiennes
In John Carpenters Science-Fiction-Klassiker Sie leben findet der Protagonist eine Schachtel mit Sonnenbrillen. Als er eine davon aufsetzt, sieht er die »wahre« Botschaft hinter Plakaten, Anzeigen und Leuchtreklamen. »Gehorcht«, steht da nun. Und auf der Dollar-Note heißt es: »Ich bin Dein Gott.« Ideologie – laut Marx ist sie das »falsche Bewusstsein«. Und die Traumfabrik Hollywood ist das Herz der Bewusstseinsindustrie. In Sophie Fiennes' Film setzt sich Slavoj Žižek stellvertretend für uns alle die ideologiekritische Röntgenbrille auf. Mit vollem Körpereinsatz – und mitunter in den Originalkulissen – durchleuchtet er Propagandafilme, Werbespots und Kinoklassiker wie Titanic, Der weiße Hai und Taxi Driver auf ihren ideologischen Gehalt.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2006Gentry culture in late-medieval England
by Raluca Radulescu, Steve Rigby, Alison Truelove
Essays in this fascinating and important collection examine the lifestyles and attitudes of the gentry in late medieval England. They consider the emergence of the gentry as a group distinct from the nobility, and explore the various available routes to gentility. Through surveys of the gentry's military background, administrative and political roles, social behaviour, and education, the reader is provided with an overview of how the group's culture evolved, and how it was disseminated. Studies of the gentry's literacy, creation and use of literature, cultural networks, religious activities and their experiences of music and the visual arts more directly address the practice and expression of this culture, exploring the extent to which the gentry's activities were different from those of the wider population. Joining the editors in contributing essays to this collection is an impressive array of eminent scholars, all specialists in their respective fields: Christine Carpenter, Peter Fleming, Maurice Keen, Philippa Maddern, Nicholas Orme, Tim Shaw, Thomas Tolley and Deborah Youngs. As a whole, the book offers a broad view of gentry culture that explores, reassesses, and sometimes even challenges the idea that members of the gentry cultivated their own distinctive cultural identity. It will appeal to students looking for a comprehensive introduction to late medieval gentry culture, as well as to researchers interested in gentry studies more generally. ;

MedicineSeptember 2020Small Animal Veterinary Psychiatry
by Sagi Denenberg, Ali Thompson
Problem behaviours are often the result of how an animal thinks and feels, genetics, and environmental influences. Steering away from just description diagnoses and focusing instead on emotional and cognitive causes, this book provides a practical approach to diagnosing, treating, and managing behaviour pathologies in dogs and cats. Beginning by addressing cases in the first opinion practice, this book then considers physical disorders that may lead to or exacerbate abnormal behavior. From there, the focus shifts to mental and emotional health, from an assessment of normal behavior and giving juveniles an optimal start in life, to diagnosing mental and emotional disorders, addressing emotions such as anxiety and frustration, and how to manage these issues - by modifying behavior, managing the animal's environment, training, and, when necessary, the use of medications. The second half of the book then addresses owner concerns, including management problems, aggression, affective disorder, elimination disorder, abnormal and repetitive behaviours and ageing-related problems. With an emphasis on helping first line veterinarians identify common presentations and offer help to owners, this book: - Addresses both normal and abnormal behaviour in cats and dogs from an emotion and cognition perspective; - Provides behaviour modification protocols, and drug doses and indications; - Includes handouts to be used both within the practice and with clients to help the veterinary surgeon manage the case. Written by international experts, the book translates their insights and experience into approaches taken in behavioural medicine. Also including the most up-to-date drugs, it is an important resource for both small animal veterinarians and students of veterinary medicine or animal behaviour.

Encouraged by a prophecy, the king urges his people to set out on a trip for a wonderful but distant promised land.

After several intrigues and conspiracies to take over the power, we will witness the true fate of the kingdom of Ariok. Beyond literary genres, this is a novel set in various indeterminate places during a period that resembles a mythical Middle Ages. But above all it's a novel of characters, it tells the love of a father for his son and what he will be put through to get him back. The reader will find love, hate, violence, cruelty, ambition, loss, loyalty and betrayal. The setting and the historical documentation are really taken care of, especially when it comes to one of the backgrounds of the novel : carpentry and its progress.

Children's & YAJuly 2020The Secret of Zheng He’s Voyages to the West
by Lee Ru-Qing
Over 600 years ago, in the Ming dynasty, Zheng He’s fleet prepared to sail to the west. A young carpenter called -Wu was excited to be part of this grand undertaking. He thought he’d just be hammering and chiselling, a tiny screw in the whole project, but thanks to a packet of seeds from his grandfather he came to play a much larger role. Over 600 years ago, before Magellan and Columbus set sail, the Chinese admiral Zheng He led an enormous fleet of ships into the southern seas. A carpenter called Wu was excited to be part of the plans. Although his job was to help build the ships, he dreamed of climbing on board and going to sea. He worked hard every day, but still found time to follow his grandfather’s instructions – to plant the seeds he had brought with him, and grow vegetables that tasted of home. Wu never expected that doing something as small as planting seeds would bring about great changes for the fleet! For a grand undertaking, when everyone must do what they do best, and everyone has a specific role, a tiny idea can have a massive impact. After consulting old texts and visiting historical remains, Lee Ru-Qing has written the glorious history of Zheng He’s voyage in a completely new way – from the perspective of a lowly carpenter. Instead of writing about the ambitions of emperors and dignitaries, he shows the wisdom of a young carpenter, and how the astonishing power of seeds made the dream of conquering the oceans come true.

Mystery2013The Sinister Sitcom Caper
A Sandy Fairfax Teen Idol Mystery
by Sally Carpenter
Sandy Fairfax, former teen idol and star of the '70s hit TV show Buddy Brave, Boy Sleuth, is now middle-aged and realizes that making a comeback can be murder. He's the guest star on Off-Kelter, a corny family situation comedy, and the lowest-rated TV show of the 1993 fall season. Before rehearsals barely begin, one of the actors drops dead at Sandy's feet, and he feels obligated to investigate, enlisting the aid of two of his new castmates: a little person and an animal actor. As the victim apparently had plenty of enemies, Sandy realizes that his detecting job will not be easy. During his snooping, we meet Sandy's ex, his parents and his teenage son––all with their own “situations” going on. During rehearsals Sandy also encounters a beautiful choreographer--could this be love? Will Sandy solve the murder before the Friday night taping of Off-Kelter or will the elusive killer cancel our hero before the final credits? This book was inspired by the author’s experiences working as a tour guide/page at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood.
