This book explores new directions in the study of China's
borderlands. In addition to assessing the influential perspectives
of other historians, it engages innovative approaches in the
author's own research. These studies probe regional accommodations,
the intersections of borderland management, martial fortification,
and imperial culture, as well as the role of governmental discourse
in defining and preserving restive boundary regions. As the issue
of China's management of its borderlands grows more pressing, the
work presents key information and insights into how that nation's
contested fringes have been governed in the past.

The many instances of regional insurgency and unrest that erupted
on China's borderlands at the turn of the nineteenth century are
often regarded by scholars as evidence of government disability and
the incipient decline of the imperial Qing dynasty. This book,
based on extensive original research, argues that, on the contrary,
the response of the imperial government went well beyond
pacification and reconstruction, and demonstrates that the imperial
political culture was dynamic, innovative and capable of
confronting contemporary challenges. The author highlights in
particular the Jiaqing Reforms of 1799, which enabled national
reformist ideology, activist-oriented administrative education, the
development of specialised frontier officials, comprehensive
borderland rehabilitation, and the sharing of borderland
administration best practice between different regions. Overall,
the book shows that the Qing regime had sustained vigour, albeit in
difficult and changing circumstances.
This rich collection of quotations, spanning multiple millennia
from the ancient epochs to the contemporary era, is comprised of
over five hundred inspirational thoughts and universal ideals
enduringly coupled to the art, science, and philosophy of medical
practice. These selected quotations encompass a wide breadth of
keen observations and aphorisms directly linked to the history,
grounding principles, and fundamental theories of medicine and
surgery. The quotations in this volume have been drawn from past
generations of legendary physicians and intrepid explorers of
medical science as well as distinguished anatomists, physiologists,
philosophers, writers, artists, and statesmen. The reader will
ponder logical precepts, universal truths, and cogent words of
guidance from ancient physicians and philosophers such as
Hippocrates, Aristotle, and Socrates as well as be offered sage
counsel from giants of medical history including Armand Trousseau,
Sir William Osler, and Michael DeBakey, among many others.
Additionally, the reader will hear the poignant words of world --
renowned medical scientists such as Claude Bernard, Jonas Salk, and
Marie Curie. There are also enlightening tenets from celebrated
Renaissance men, scientists, and innovators including Leonardo da
Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein. This unique
collection of motivational quotes substantively addresses the
pursuit of success in medical practice. Consider these quotations a
daily dose of inspiration regardless of the particular discipline
or specialty of medicine you have chosen to pursue. These
quotations have the capacity to bring into clear focus the
fundamentals and principles that are illustrative of sound medical
practice, empathetic patient care, and humble professionalism.
These thoughts are cognitively stimulating to ponder and at times
are refreshingly witty and even humorous. In a medical world that
has become overwhelmingly inundated with convoluted electronic
health records and complex diagnostic services, these time-tested
precepts will convey a modicum of simplicity and brightness upon
the complex world in which we practice medicine.
Are you a medical student on the cusp of graduation from medical
school who is soon to embark upon a journey through residency
training? Are you an intern or junior resident muscling through the
early years of your formative residency training? If so, this book
was written exclusively for you. The transition from medical school
to residency training is a challenging and transformative
experience that will come rushing toward you like a run-away
freight train. Life as a resident physician is drastically
different to what most experience during their clinical rotations
in medical school. Medical school can sometimes feel like an
extension of your undergraduate college experience; however,
residency is an entirely different animal. You will undoubtedly
approach this transition into residency with a combination of raw
emotion to include enthusiasm and eagerness but also trepidation
and apprehension. This survival guide will serve to temper these
emotions and transform them into a sense of confidence as you
progress forward. This book is a focused, honest, and
straightforward text that addresses the unique challenges
encountered in residency training and more importantly discusses a
number of strategies to facilitate tactful navigation of these
challenging waters. It has been crafted into an easily digestible
volume which concisely outlines a combination of principles that
will inevitably produce a winning strategy to be a highly
motivated, readily adaptable, and successful trainee. The thoughts
expressed in this book will spur invaluable self-reflection and
enable the reader to fabricate an armamentarium of weaponry that
can be tactically applied in the trenches of clinical warfare as
well as to develop the strength, perseverance, and endurance to
surge forward when the going gets tough. Some of this advice is
frank, blunt, and brutally honest, but will be instrumental in
maintaining an even keel throughout the grueling training process
and prevent the reader from making some of the same mistakes that
the author himself naively committed. Despite the differences that
distinguish the numerous specialties of medicine and surgery, each
chapter of this book contains valuable insight that all trainees
can draw from regardless of specialty. By utilizing and employing
the tools discussed, opportunities presented throughout the course
of your residency training and beyond can be translated into
successes that you will continually be able to build upon, hone,
and polish throughout your career as a respected and well-rounded
physician and professional.
