Dietetics & nutritionDecember 1999Egg Nutrition and Biotechnology
by Edited by Jeong S Sim, Shuryo Nakai, Wilhelm Guenter
Major research is now directed at improving the nutritional quality of eggs, and at using eggs in other products. Due to the decline in the consumption of eggs in the past few decades, researchers from many disciplines have been lead to look at the egg beyond its traditional food value, and to focus on economically viable biomedical, nutraceutical and ovo-biotechnologies.Written by international experts, this book is based on proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Egg Nutrition and Newly Emerging Ovo-Biotechnologies, held in Banff, Canada, in April 1998. It includes 39 chapters, covering food fats and health, egg consumption, egg lipids and nutrition, ovo-technologies, and food food safety.

December 2004Philosophie der Kunst
Vorlesung von 1826
by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Annemarie Gethmann-Siefert, Jeong-Im Kwon, Karsten Berr
»Nachschriften sind freilich trübe Quellen« - dieses Heideggerdiktum kann gegen die studentischen Nachschriften zu Hegels Ästhetikvorlesungen nicht geltend gemacht werden. Anders als die von Hotho »geschönte« Ästhetik erweisen sie sich als höchst authentisch und bieten einen aufschlußreichen Einblick in Hegels Gedanken zur Rolle der Kunst in der Kulturgeschichte. Unter den vier Berliner Vorlesungen zur Philosophie der Kunst, die Hegel zwischen 1820 und 1829 gehalten hat, ist besonders jene von 1826 brisant. In ausführlicher Auseinandersetzung mit exemplarischen Kunstwerken stellt er hier der sogenannten »These vom Ende der Kunst« die Behauptung von der Unersetzlichkeit der Künste entgegen. Mit der Mitschrift des Studenten von der Pfordten wird eine vollständige Überlieferung dieser Vorlesung nun erstmals publiziert.

A Research Perspective
by Hannah Theobald, Charles Arcodia, John Arthur, Parveen Yaqoob, Bruce German, Christopher Auld, Ronan Gormley, James D House, Paula Jauregi, Zuleika Beaven, Anne Pihlanto, Jo Lunn, Katalin Formádi, Bruce Mullan, Joe Goldblatt, Nigel Scollan, Russell Hoye, Kevin J Shingfield, Leo Jago, Chris Kemp, Jeong S Sim, Adele Ladkin, Judith Mair, Vivienne S McCabe, Roselyne N Okech. Edited by Caroline Rymer, Thomas Baum, Eddie Deaville, Margaret Deery, Clare Hanlon, Leonie Lockstone, Karen A Smith.
The part of the tourism industry which covers events, conventions and meetings is a substantial part of the global economy and provides employment for a very large number of people worldwide. The breakdown of employees in this sector is complex - employees can be full-time, casual labour or part of a volunteer workforce, and events can be as diverse as the Olympic Games and a local meeting. This book examines the role of people who work in events, meetings and conventions by looking at the context in which they work, and presenting theories, perspectives underlying trends of employment in this sector. Leading authors present international examples to further understanding of the concepts involved in people management in tourism events. This book will be an important resource for students and researchers of leisure, tourism and events management.

Fiction28
by You-jeong Jeong
28 SYNOPSIS THIS ADRENALINE-FILLED NOVEL is written from the six characters’ intersecting points of view, a stark reminder that no event is ever clear-cut.Brimming with characters that are larger than life and embroidered with evocative meditations on humanity, 28 is a riveting ride of fear, despair, and the power of empathy. This blockbuster of a novel is reminiscent of the very best of Stephen King and is sure to be a worldwide sensation. A thrilling, multilayered tale of undying loyalty and unlikely kinship during uncertain times, 28 is the explosive new bestseller by You-jeong Jeong, the celebrated Korean master of suspense. Injecting her trademark precision and complex, irresistible characters into this story of a city overtaken by a mysterious disease, Jeong has crafted an intricate study of the true form human nature takes during disaster and the resulting anarchy. In a small, quiet city near Seoul, a dog breeder is discovered near death in his apartment, his skin sallow and his eyes bloodshot. The place is overrun with caged dogs; they too are dead or dying. Only one manages to escape—Ringo, a hulking wolf-dog. Although emergency technicians rush the breeder to the hospital, he hemorrhages to death. A few days later, the same emergency technicians are brought to the hospital exhibiting identical symptoms, all except Gi-jun, who entered the apartment first. Afraid that he might be infected as well, he stays away from his wife and young daughter and dives into work.Soon, the hospital staff begins succumbing to the disease, and Su-jin, a junior emergency room nurse, is pulled in to cover for her colleagues. Entire neighborhoods are stricken and the hospital is overrun with the dead and dying. Soon the military enforces a quarantine of the city and declares martial law. Su-jin periodically stops by the apartment she shares with her father but she is consumed with anxiety—her father is nowhere to be found. Around the same time, the city’s elusive veterinarian, Jae-hyeong, once an up-and-coming musher in Alaska, begins to see more canine patients in his dog shelter. He is also trying to get rid of a brash, insistent reporter, Yun-ju, who wrote a damning article accusing him of killing his sled dogs many years ago in Alaska and doing the same to the animals in his shelter. Acting on an anonymous tip, Yun-ju was trying to get more information about Jae-hyeong when the quarantine strands her in the city. Although Jae-hyeong is initially standoffish, he asks for Yun-ju’s help when he unexpectedly finds himself a guardian of a young blind girl. As Jae-hyeong and Yun-ju begin to understand each other’s strengths and passions, they gradually develop a mutual affection.Yun-ju’s anonymous source is Dong-hae, who has an axe to grind with Jae-hyeong. Years ago, he was beating his father’s beloved dog, Cookie, when Jae-hyeong intervened and rescued the animal. Jae-hyeong’s involvement brought Dong-hae’s violence to the attentionof his father, who then sent him to the military. Now that Dong-hae is back in town, he is obsessed with revenge. He stalks Jae-hyeong, waiting for a chance to snatch Cookie so he can finish the dog off. He also stalks his parents, resentful of having always been the black sheep. With sociopathic conviction, Dong-hae roams the stricken city, focused only on his own mission. But when Dong-hae accidentally kidnaps Star, another one of Jae-hyeong’s dogs, instead of Cookie, he launches a tangled web of events that end with his death. Ringo, who has been hiding in the woods since his escape, rescues Star. Ringo is madly in love with Star, and the two dogs stay together, away from the chaos. Soon, people realize the disease originated in dogs, and the government sends armed military personnel to round up dogs and kill them. Eventually, the government cuts off all access to the outside, including internet and cell phone service, and the military stands by as the city descends into violent riots, looting, and other crime. As people try to flee the city on covert midnight journeys through the woods, rumors abound that the military is shooting anyone who attempts to break the quarantine. With nobody to trust and a large number of townspeople succumbing to this mysterious disease, Gi-jun, Su-jin, Jae-hyeong, Yun-ju, and Dong-hae try to survive in their own ways, feeling increasingly abandoned and isolated. Some of them begin to descend into madness, as others dig deep to do the right thing. In the end, as the military slaughters protesting civilians, Gi-jun, Jae-hyeong, and Ringo face off, fueled by sorrow, revenge, and despair.

Jini, Jinny
by You-Jeong Jeong
YOU-JEONG JEONG’S LATEST, JINI, JINNY, IS A POWERFUL NOVEL that touches on environmentalism, human arrogance vis a vis the animal kingdom, and what it means to search for and fulfill a life’s purpose. The first non-thriller by the renowned crime novelist, this book is an exciting adventure with dashes of magical realism.The book opens with Jini, a 34-year-old woman who is working on her PhD in primatology. She is in the Congo for research. She stumbles across a bonobo in illegal captivity, and though she knows what she should do, she ends up not doing anything; not reporting it, not telling anyone about it. This weighs on her heavily in the following half year or so and she decides toleave her field. On her last day at work, the primate research center she works at gets a report that a bonobo is on the loose; she and her mentor go to help capture it, but get into a car accident on their way back.When she comes to, she realizes she's in the body of the bonobo, who she and her mentor have decided to call Ginny. The book alternates between her voice and the perspective of Minju, a thirty-year-old man who doesn't have a job or money or a purpose in life. He discovers the accident and calls 911. Jini, in the body of Ginny, manages to convince Minju that she is Jini and the rest of the book follows their attempts to get to the hospital where Jini's body is in surgery so that she can return to her body. But the bonobo's consciousness takes over the animal’s body and Jini learns about the bonobo's past life. At the very end she realizes that the bonobo whose body she is occupying is the bonobo she failed to help in the Congo months ago. She wrestles with the fact that humans have been dominating and privileging themselves over animals and, knowing that her soul will die along with her severely damaged human body, returns to her original body, allowing the bonobo to return to its home in the Congo.During this time, Minju finds purpose and risks everything to help Jini, making that human connection that he hasn't ever experienced; this incident forces him to grow up and find meaning again. The characters are particularly well realized, with a strong, conflicted, and ultimately sacrificial womanThe story in brief: The book opens with Jini, a 34 year old woman who is working on her PhD in primatology, in the Congo for research. She stumbles across a bonobo in illegal captivity, and though she knows what she should do, she ends up not doing anything; not reporting it, not telling anyone about it. This weighs on her heavily in the following half year or so, and she decides to leave her field and quit. On her last day, the primatology center she works at gets a report that a bonobo is on the loose; she and her mentor go to help capture it, but get into a car accident. When she comes to, she realizes she's in the body of the bonobo, who she and her mentor refer to as Jinny. The book alternates between her voice and the voice of Minju, a thirty year old man who doesn't have a job or money or a purpose in life, who is the one who discovers the accident and calls 911. Jini, in the body of Jinny, manages to convince Minju that she is Jini and the rest of the book follows their attempts to get to the hospital where Jini's body is in surgery so that she can return to her body. But more and more the bonobo's consciousness takes over the bonobo's body and Jini learns about the bonobo's past life, and at the very end she realizes that the bonobo whose body she is occupying is the bonobo she failed to help in the Congo months ago. (This part felt a little too pat.) She wrestles with the fact that humans have been dominating and privileging themselves over animals and, knowing that her soul will die along with her severely damaged human body, returns to her original body, allowing the bonobo to return to its home in the Congo. During all this Minju finds purpose and risks everything to help Jini, making that human connection that he hasn't had in a long time; this incident forces him to grow up and find meaning again.Jeong’s characteristic powerful writing; it’s all about loss and disappointment and sacrificing yourself to do the right thing and critiquing human arrogance vis a vis the animal world, with a dash of genuine humor and rollicking adventure/action.

FictionSeptember 2022MY FATHER'S LIBERATION
by Jeong Ji-A
“Father died. Slammed his head into a telephone pole. A very serious man had seriously come to the end of a seriously lived life by seriously slamming his head against a telephone pole. [...] Goddamn it.” Following her father’s sudden death (bumping himself onto a telephone pole), Ari Ko returns to her hometown to host a three-day funeral. Ari was once close to her father, but as she grew older, she found it increasingly difficult to understand him. Her father, a former communist partisan who fought in the Korean War, lived by the principle of "Serve the People," a belief that only brought troubles to their doorstep. However, as friends and comrades recounts her father’s life during the funeral—his glorious days as a partisan, his fake treachery to protect his people, his tangled relationship with his family—Ari realizes that there are a lot about her father she didn’t know. Ten years in the making, this semi-autobiographical novel has sold over 300,000 copies and received praise from the former Korean president, Moon. Jeong Ji-A, in honor of her partisan parents, brings to light Korea's overlooked history and the unsung partisan fighters. "My parents were socialists. After South Korea forcibly established a government ruling only the South with the support of the United States, they both cried out for national unification and class liberation, infiltrating Jirisan to start an armed struggle. Ultimately failing, they served long prison sentences before returning to farm in the capitalist society of South Korea. Did my parents ever feel wronged? I believe they never felt wronged or defeated. They simply did what they could at the time, quietly living through their destined days.They never let frustration, anger, or sadness dominate their lives. " -- Jeong Ji-A, from exclusive preface for Complex Chinese edition

FictionThe Cabinet
by Un-su Kim
THE CABINET IS A STORY ABOUT THE DOCUMENTS that record these symptomers and the man who manages the documents in Cabinet 13. This seemingly ordinary, old cabinet is filled with stories that are peculiar, strange, eye-popping, disgusting, enraging, and touching. However, the fast changing world is also full of all sorts of unbelievable things. Perhaps symptomers exist not only in the novel but also in the real world. Perhaps some of us do not accept our past and instead, erase our memories and create new ones. Some of us might want to become a wooden doll or a cat rather than live in pain as a human. And if you look around, you can find those who can love no one but themselves or their alter egos.The narrator is an office worker in his 30s, as ordinary as the cabinet. But he once spent 178 days drinking nothing but cans of beer. And his colleague Son Jeong-eun is a quiet, chubby girl who draws nobody’s attention. But she also has a strange habit of devouring more than 100 pieces of sushi at once. In this novel, the cabinet is a container that holds all the truths of the world. Kim Un-su puts truth into the cabinet “as it is” and keeps it fresh under proper temperature and moisture, utilizing his precise prose and rich style. Each episode, preposterous and weird, is intricately interwoven with the narrator’s story piles atop each other like Lego blocks that form a perfectly assembled structure. Unfolding peculiar and heart-freezing episodes, the author tells us that this is an ‘ordinary’ story and at the same time, the truth “as it is,” as natural as the wind blowing, flowers blossoming and snow falling. The moment you turn the last page of the book, you will come to think about which strange stories are inside your own cabinet. And you will be also curious about what story the author will pull out of his cabinet next time.

Sustainable agricultureFebruary 2018Global tea science
Current status and future needs
by Dr VS Sharma and Dr Kumudini Gunasekare
Tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world. Like other crops, tea cultivation faces a number of challenges. With the challenge of climate change and the competition for scarce resources, there is a need to make tea cultivation more efficient and sustainable. Cultivation needs also to be more resilient to biotic and abiotic stresses, whether it be pests or more extreme weather (e.g. drought) associated with global warming.Fortunately, there is a range of research addressing these challenges. Drawing on an international range of expertise, this collection summarises this research by focusing on ways of improving the cultivation of tea at each step in the value chain, from breeding through to harvest. Part 1 reviews advances in breeding. Part 2 discusses improvements in cultivation techniques. The book then discusses plant protection and chemistry before concluding with sustainability issues.As the need for more interdisciplinary and collaborative research increases, this collection will be a standard reference for the tea research community by summarising key research trends in each topic and putting them in the context of tea cultivation as a whole.
