Humanities & Social SciencesTeenagers Reading Chinese Philosophy
by Zhang Jiahua
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of ancient China, the philosophical views of various schools met and contended, arousing a more brilliant spark of wisdom. The epic and unprecedented movement in the academy world was called the "Contention of a Hundred Schools of Thought." Scholars of various schools have written their wisdom achievements that they strove to secure through lifetime hard work into their own academic works, leaving us with a timeless ideological wealth that can teach us morals and enlighten our wisdom. With simple and fluent texts and concise interpretation, Teenagers Reading Chinese Philosophy systematically introduces the essence of the philosophical thoughts of philosophers including Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Xun Kuang, and Han Feizi. As an enlightening book of Chinese philosophy designed for children, it eliminates the barriers to reading classical Chinese in the pre-Qin period, and makes the "abstruse and mysterious" philosophy easy for children to understand.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2020Ideas of monarchical reform
Fénelon, Jacobitism, and the political works of the Chevalier Ramsay
by Joseph Bergin, Andrew Mansfield, Penny Roberts, William G. Naphy
This book examines the political works of Andrew Michael Ramsay (1683-1743) within the context of early eighteenth-century British and French political thought. In the first monograph on Ramsay in English for over sixty years, the author uses Ramsay to engage in a broader evaluation of the political theory in the two countries and the exchange between them. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, Britain and France were on divergent political paths. Yet in the first three decades of that century, the growing impetus of mixed government in Britain influenced the political theory of its long-standing enemy. Shaped by experiences and ideologies of the seventeenth century, thinkers in both states exhibited a desire to produce great change by integrating past wisdom with modern knowledge.

Humanities & Social SciencesHistory of the Chinese Communist Party's Mass Line Thought
by LUO Pinghan
This Book systematically explores the formation and development of the mass line thought of the Chinese Communist Party, and analyzes its mass viewpoint under different historical conditions, including: (1) Formation and theoretical generalization of the mass line thought. For the first time, the Communist Party of China realized the transformation of the revolutionary subject from the elite to the masses. (2) Continuations and setbacks of the mass line thought. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the general implementation of democratic centralism in national institutions and organizations, and the establishment of political consultation system and the system of people's congress fully reflect the application of the Party's mass line in the establishment of specific systems. (3) Restoration and innovation of the mass line thought. Since the Reform and Opening-up, the Party has restored the fine tradition of the mass line. DENG Xiaoping's theory of "People's Support", "People's Approval", "People's Delightfulness" and "People's Agreement", JIANG Zemin's "Three Represents", and HU Jintao's theory that "The government must function by the mandate of the people, empathize with the feelings of the people, and work for the well-being of the people" all reflect the innovation of the Party's mass line in the new century."

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2023An archaeology of innovation
Approaching social and technological change in human society
by Catherine J. Frieman
An archaeology of innovation is the first monograph-length investigation of innovation and the innovation process from an archaeological perspective. It interrogates the idea of innovation that permeates our popular media and our political and scientific discourse, setting this against the long-term perspective that only archaeology can offer. Case studies span the entire breadth of human history, from our earliest hominin ancestors to the contemporary world. The book argues that the present narrow focus on pushing the adoption of technical innovations ignores the complex interplay of social, technological and environmental systems that underlies truly innovative societies; the inherent connections between new technologies, technologists and social structure that give them meaning and make them valuable; and the significance and value of conservative social practices that lead to the frequent rejection of innovations.

Children's & YABelieve me, I'm Not an Egret!
by Hossein Ghorbani
This story is a recreation of a fable originally written in “Kalila and Demna”, an ancient book with Indian roots. In the original story, an old egret tricks the fish into thinking that they are being taken to a safe lake, but they are in fact becoming the egret’s food. Until one day, the crab also asks the egret to take him to the lake and sees the remaining fish bones while riding on his back. He then returns and informs the others. “Believe Me, I’m not an Egret!” is a parody of the original fable, encouraging the children to think about and question what they hear.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2024Egypt and the rise of fluid authoritarianism
Political ecology, power and the crisis of legitimacy
by Maria Gloria Polimeno
Egypt and the rise of fluid authoritarianism focuses on the struggle of the post-2013 political authorities for internal political legitimacy after the crisis following the 2013 coup d'état. It explores the microstructural and macro-systemic dynamics of leadership, power, protests and the authority-making process in political systems. These cannot simply be defined as structural, political, social and economic projections of the authoritarianism of the past, but rather as a rupture with that past. The book offers a complex, ground-breaking socio-political and economic analysis into how the forging of an internal political legitimacy claim has eventually modified the regime in Egypt along the authoritarian spectrum, turning into a fluid autocracy closer to a non-exclusivist personalist regime. This shift had implications that resonated both politically and economically.

2018The Woman Who Thought Her Husband Was a Doppelganger
When the brain goes haywire: 36 rare and unusual psychiatric syndromes
by Monika Niehaus
The human brain is a wondrous thing, highly complex and highly functional. However, the control centre of our feelings, thoughts and actions can sometimes go out of sync. Some reasons for this are known, such as genetic factors, hormonal effects or trauma. In other cases, we are still in the dark. In an extreme case scenario, the brain may create bizarre delusions – masterful narrations that the people affected fi nd completely conclusive and reasonable. Monika Niehaus has compiled 36 such disorders ranging from love madness and the gourmand syndrome – where gourmet food becomes the purpose of life – to people who desire nothing more than to have their limbs amputated. She tells gripping tales of famous and not so famous cases. With sensitivity and a considerable dose of humour she takes us into the history of art and literature, and presents scientifi c explanations. This fascinating book shows that our brain is a genius – and madness is quite often NOT inexplicable.

Anthony Ascham and English political thought (1648–50)
by Peter Lake, Marco Barducci, Anthony Milton, Jason Peacey, Alexandra Gajda
This book provides a careful and systematic analysis of Anthony Ascham's career and writings for the first time in English. During the crucial period between the Second Civil War and the establishment of the English Republic, when he served as official pamphleteer of the Parliament and the republican government, Ascham put forward a complex argument in support of Parliament's claims for obedience which drew on the political thought of Grotius, Hobbes, Selden, Filmer and Machiavelli. He combined ideas taken from these authors and turned them into a powerful instrument of propaganda to be deployed in the service of the political agenda of his Independent patrons in Parliament. This investigation of Ascham's works brings together an intellectual analysis of his political thought and an exploration of the interaction between politics, propaganda and political ideas.
