        To Live

        by YU Hua

        An award-winning, internationally acclaimed Chinese bestseller, originally banned in China but recently named one of the last decade's ten most influential books there, To Live tells the epic story of one man's transformation from the spoiled son of a rich landlord to an honorable and kindhearted peasant. After squandering his family's fortune in gambling dens and brothels, the young, deeply penitent Fugui settles down to do the honest work of a farmer. Forced by the Nationalist Army to leave behind his family, he witnesses the horrors and privations of the Civil War, only to return years later to face a string of hardships brought on by the ravages of the Cultural Revolution. Left with an ox as the companion of his final years, Fugui stands as a model of flinty authenticity, buoyed by his appreciation for life in this narrative of humbling power.

        This eBook provides an in-depth account of past and present efforts to find habitable worlds beyond our solar system on extrasolar planets, or planets that belong to a star other than the Sun. With growing evidence of exoplanets, astronomers are working to validate the hypothesis that planet formation is a normal part of stellar evolution. This eBook ultimately describes how astronomers are detecting planets around distant stars. Special attention is given to the role of NASA's space-based, exoplanet observatories, such as the Kepler Space Telescope and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

        Objects of affection

        The book and the household in late medieval England

        by Myra Seaman

        Objects of affection recovers the emotional attraction of the medieval book through an engagement with a fifteenth-century literary collection known as Oxford, Bodleian Library Manuscript Ashmole 61. Exploring how the inhabitants of the book's pages - human and nonhuman, tangible and intangible - collaborate with its readers then and now, this book addresses the manuscript's material appeal in the ways it binds itself to different cultural, historical and material environments. In doing so it traces the affective literacy training that the manuscript provided its late-medieval English household, whose diverse inhabitants are incorporated into the ecology of the book itself as it fashions spiritually generous and socially mindful household members.

        DUNIA LELAKI

        by S. M. ZAKIR, EYQA ZAQUE

        Zahir, Syed and Ake are inhabitants of low-cost flats in a Malaysian city. The three men embodied different ideologies: Zahir is an elder who depicts the conservative society, Syed is a progressive man trapped in the dust of modernity, while Ake is a 90s guy preoccupied with anarchy. They became part of a new community that struggles to survive while adapting to modernity. Unwittingly, these three men are sucked into the vortex of reformation which shaped Malaysia’s modern history. Tales of their daily lives are often ignored and forgotten by history; much like the frothy waves that eventually disappeared after crashing against the shores.

        Rachel Carson, Updated Edition

        by Marie-Therese Miller

        Rachel Carson was a nature lover since childhood. As an adult, she became a marine biologist and wrote award-winning books about the ocean, capturing the imagination of her readers with her poetic descriptions of the sea and its inhabitants. But it was her book Silent Spring that thrust Carson and the hazards of using pesticides into the national consciousness. Silent Spring sounded the alarm about the threat chemical pesticides posed to wildlife and made people sensitive to the ways they impacted the earth. Carson—and her book—are often credited with inspiring the modern environmental movement. Rachel Carson, Updated Edition illustrates how this writer was able to bring national attention to a growing environmental crisis.

        Negotiating relief and freedom

        Responses to disaster in the British Caribbean, 1812-1907

        by Oscar Webber

        Negotiating relief and freedom is an investigation of short- and long-term responses to disaster in the British Caribbean colonies during the 'long' nineteenth century. It explores how colonial environmental degradation made their inhabitants both more vulnerable to and expanded the impact of natural phenomena such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. It shows that British approaches to disaster 'relief' prioritised colonial control and 'fiscal prudence' ahead of the relief of the relief of suffering. In turn, that this pattern played out continuously in the long nineteenth century is a reminder that in the Caribbean the transition from slavery to waged labour was not a clean one. Times of crisis brought racial and social tensions to the fore and freedoms once granted, were often quickly curtailed.
