This book analyzes the post-subprime crisis world from the global,
Asian and Chinese perspectives. It dispels some of the myths about
the crisis's effects on Asia and China; and exposes the ugly truth
of bailout policies and their distortion and hindering of the
world's economic rebalancing effort in the post-subprime era.
Conventional analytical tool kits often do not work in China due to
its strong idiosyncrasies and opaque system. Using rigorous
economic analysis, backed by solid data and accounts of real life
experiences, this book twists conventional wisdom to drive the
thinking about China 'outside the box'. Many books on China are
long on volume but short on thoughts. This book is the opposite. It
dispels China's economic myths and probes deep into the hidden
forces that drive China's economic future.
Until recently the world has been relying on the US dollar and the
Euro to lubricate the flow of global trade and finance. A newcomer,
the Renminbi (RMB) or Chinese Yuan, joined the global monetary
system in 2000. The rise of the RMB is both an indicator and a
result of the evolution in the global macro landscape that shifts
economic weight from the developed markets, led by Europe, Japan
and the US, to the emerging markets, led by China.Research on RMB
internationalisation is difficult because events have been
unfolding fast, with frequent shifting regulations. Most financial
market research is sales-driven, shallow and without serious
investigation into the structural underpinning of events. Most
crucially, there has been insufficient systematic research on the
structural realities behind the RMB internationalisation exercise.
No-one has openly questioned the credibility of the RMB as an
international currency. This is the first book to address these
issues by focusing on the structural factors behind the rise of the
RMB. It uses a critical approach, questioning conventional wisdom
and the status quo to anslyse China's currency ambition in the
post-subprime world. Discussions combine rigorous research
thoughts, data, facts and economic logic with real world issues to
elaborate on the arguments and make them reader-friendly.
This book compares the policy approaches taken by China and India
in dealing with HIV/AIDS, illuminating the challenges they face as
they grapple with this intractable disease and identifying best
practices for dealing with HIV/AIDS in the developing world and
beyond.
This is the first book to put together Asia and the developed world
in the subprime crisis context and to combine macro and micro
analysis to draw lessons from it. The crisis has valuable lessons
for the dergulation of China's insurance industry, which is seen as
the 'goldmine' in the future of global financial development.
Veganism is so much more than what we eat. It's about striving to
live an ethical life in a profoundly unethical world. Is being
vegan difficult or is it now easier than ever? What does veganism
have to do with wider struggles for social justice - feminism,
LGBTQ+ politics, anti-racism and environmentalism?
In 1993, the genetic mutation responsible for Huntington's disease
(HD) was identified. Considered a milestone in human genomics, this
discovery has led to nearly two decades of remarkable progress that
has greatly increased our knowledge of HD, and documented an
unexpectedly large and diverse range of biochemical and genetic
perturbations that seem to result directly from the expression of
the mutant huntingtin gene. Neurobiology of Huntington's Disease:
Applications to Drug Discovery presents a thorough review of the
issues surrounding drug discovery and development for the treatment
of this paradigmatic neurodegenerative disease. Drawing on the
expertise of key researchers in the field, the book discusses the
basic neurobiology of Huntington's disease and how its monogenic
nature confers enormous practical advantages for translational
research, including the creation of robust experimental tools,
models, and assays to facilitate discovery and validation of
molecular targets and drug candidates for HD. Written to support
future basic research as well as drug development efforts, this
volume: Covers the latest research approaches in genetics,
genomics, and proteomics, including high-throughput and
high-content screening Highlights advances in the discovery and
development of new drug therapies for neurodegenerative disorders
Examines the practical realities of preclinical testing, clinical
testing strategies, and, ultimately, clinical usage While the
development of effective drug treatments for Huntington's disease
continues to be tremendously challenging, a highly interactive and
cooperative community of researchers and clinical investigators now
brings us to the threshold of potential breakthroughs in the quest
for therapeutic agents. The impressive array of drug discovery
resources outlined in the text holds much promise for treating this
devastating disease, providing hope to long-suffering Huntington's
disease patients and their families.
This book breaks new ground in research on the RMB's offshore
market by addressing the myths, hypes and realities surrounding the
rise of the Chinese Yuan. It is the first book to address the rise
of the Renminbi by focusing on the structural factors behind it and
drawing on the global, regional and domestic developments affecting
its development.

This fascinating collection of recipes contributed by the members
of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Fort Street Methodist Episcopal
Church of Los Angeles, California, originally published in 1881,
includes such familiar dishes as fish chowder, roast turkey, and
chocolate cake. More unusual offerings include stewed pigeons, suet
pudding, and English brawn, made with a pig's head. Interspersed
