November 2019Ten Suns
by Zhou Jing,Chen Yunxing
Ten Suns was recounted by children's literature writer Zhou Jing, and contemporary painter Chen Yunxing re-engraving stories and characters in the style of Chinese painting. The integration of the poetry of the text and the thickness of the painting is a wonderful interpretation of ancient myths, which expresses the unique Chinese charm and Chinese spirit. The story in this book can be regarded as the prequel to the story of Houyi Shot Suns. The main story is why the ten suns appeared in the sky together. The author had a bold imagination and depicted the curiosity and naughtiness of the sun brothers. The story of Houyi was written through the surrival and death of the ten suns in the sky. This angle is novel and full of childlikeness.

General & world historyMay 2005‘Ten Pound Poms’
A life history of British postwar emigration to Australia
by A. James Hammerton, Alistair Thomson
More than a million Britons emigrated to Australia between the 1940s and 1970s. They were the famous 'ten pound Poms' and this is their story. Illuminated by the fascinating testimony of migrant life histories, this is the first substantial history of their experience and fills a gaping hole in the literature of emigration. The authors, both leading figures in the fields of oral history and migration studies, draw upon a rich life history archive of letters, diaries, personal photographs and hundreds of oral history interviews with former migrants, including those who settled in Australia and those who returned to Britain. They offer original interpretations of key historical themes, including: motivations for emigration; gender relations and the family dynamics of migration; the 'very familiar and awfully strange' confrontation with the new world; the anguish of homesickness and return; and the personal and national identities of both settlers and returnees, fifty years on. Accessible and appealing, this book will engage readers interested in British and Australian migration history and intrigued about the significance of migrant memories for individuals, families and nations.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2022The power of citizens and professionals in welfare encounters
The influence of bureaucracy, market and psychology
by Nanna Mik-Meyer
This book is about power in welfare encounters. Present-day citizens are no longer the passive clients of the bureaucracy and welfare workers are no longer automatically the powerful party of the encounter. Instead, citizens are expected to engage in active, responsible and coproducing relationships with welfare workers. However, other factors impact these interactions; factors which often pull in different directions. Welfare encounters are thus influenced by bureaucratic principles and market values as well. Consequently, this book engages with both Weberian (bureaucracy) and Foucauldian (market values/NPM) studies when investigating the powerful welfare encounter. The book is targeted Academics, post-graduates, and undergraduates within sociology, anthropology and political science.
