Since the late 1970s China has undergone a great transformation,
during which time the country has witnessed an outpouring of
competing schools of thought. This book analyzes the major schools
of political thought redefining China's transformation and the role
Chinese thinkers are playing in the post-Mao era.
th We compiled this volume mostly from presentations at the 6
International Plant Cold Hardiness Seminar (PCHS) after consulting
with Professor Tony H. H. Chen, Oregon State University, USA,
Professor Pekka Heino, University of Helsinki, Finland, th and Dr.
Gareth J. Warren, University of London, Surrey, UK. The 6
International PCHS was held at the Unitas Congress Center,
Helsinki, Finland from July 1-5, 2001. There were 110 registered
scientists at the serttinar representing 20 countries: Australia,
Belgium, Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Gennany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Norway, Poland,
Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and United States of
America. The infonnation compiled represents the state of the art
of research in phmt cold hardiness in tenns of gene regulation,
gene expression, signal transduction, the physiology of cold
hardiness and, ultimately, the genetic engineering for cold
tolerant plants. The International PCHS was initiated in 1977 at
the University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota. It has been
traditionally held at 5-year intervals at various locations. th
Because of the rapid advances of research in plant cold hardiness,
attendees at the 6 meeting unanimously adopted a resolution to hold
the seminar in 3-year intervals instead of 5 in the future.
Consequently, the next seminar will be held in 2004 in Sapporo,
Japan, and Professor Seizo Fujikawa from Hokkaido University will
serve as the host.
This collection of new essays aims to address some of the most
perplexing issues arising from death and dying, as well as the
moral status of persons and animals. Leading scholars, including
Peter Singer and Gerald Dworkin, investigate diverse topics such as
animal rights, vegetarianism, lethal injection, abortion and
euthanasia.
This volume is compiled based on the proceedings of the 5th
International Plant Cold Hardiness Seminar, which was held at
Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA, August 5 to 8,
1996. Participants representing 16 nations and 22 U. S. states
attended the seminar. Researchers came from major laboratories
around the world involving plant cold hardiness research. The
information compiled in this volume represents the state-of the-art
research and our understanding of plant cold hardiness in terms of
molecular biol ogy, biochemistry, and physiology. The 1996
International Plant Cold Hardiness Seminar was the fifth of the
series; it was first held in 1977 at the University of Minnesota,
St. Paul, MN, and since then has met every 5 years. The overall
goal of this seminar series is to foster the exchange of ideas and
research findings among the diverse groups of scientists studying
freezing and chilling stresses from a wide variety of perspectives.
This is the only international conference focus ing its programs
entirely on low temperature stress in plants. In accordance with
the tradi tion, the fifth conference focused on freezing and
chilling stress of plants and covered various aspects of plant cold
hardiness, including molecular genetics, biochemistry, physi ology,
and agricultural applications. All contributors to this volume are
eminent researchers who have had significant contributions to the
knowledge of plant cold hardiness."
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Chinese advertising
as an industry, a discourse and profession in China s search for
modernity and cultural globalization. It compares and contrasts the
advertising practices of Chinese advertising agencies and foreign
advertising agencies, and Chinese brands and foreign brands, with a
particular focus on the newest digital advertising practices in the
post WTO era. Based on extensive interviews, participant
observation, and a critical analysis of secondary data, Li offers
an engaging analysis of the transformation of Chinese advertising
in the past three decades in Post-Mao China. Drawing upon theories
of political economy, media, and cultural studies, her analysis
offers most significant insights in advertising and consumer
culture as well as the economic, social, political, and cultural
transformations in China. The book is essential for students and
scholars of communication, media, cultural studies and
international business, and all those interested in cultural
globalization and China.
The Internet has become a necessary component of our personal and
professional lives, but because the Internet has redefined the
boundaries of communication, it has also put our confidential
information at risk. The growing concern with online privacy has
caused many Internet users to question the security of their
Internet transactions. This book answers these questions through an
examination of the Center for Democracy and Technology, an
organization that advocates for privacy. Li's book introduces the
many issues in online privacy and discusses legal ownership of
personal data, specifically one's name, address, telephone number,
and email. Her in-depth research of the issues confronted by the
Center for Democracy and Technology over a five-year period
documents its mission and demonstrates its achievements in the
crusade to maintain privacy. As we find ourselves using the
Internet for more and more transactions, both personal and
professional, we must be aware of our privacy rights and the
activities of the organizations that fight to protect them-thus,
the information in Li's book makes it a necessary reference for all
public and university libraries and a useful resource for courses
in information technology. Internet Privacy serves as an
introduction to the issues of online privacy in the United States
and examines what one advocacy group is doing to protect privacy in
cyberspace.
In explaining the differences in the tradition and operation of law
in China and the United States, in this book, the author gives both
an invaluable understanding of Chinese society and his own
appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of U.S. law, lawyers, and
courts.
The U.S. has 400,000 lawyers in a society of 200 million people.
China, a country with four times that population, has a mere 3,500
lawyers. How do the Chinese achieve law without lawyers? Victor Li,
one of the world's leading authorities on Chinese law, explores the
way the Chinese and U.S. systems have historically viewed law (and
still view it), and the way each system functions in everyday life
to shape conduct and control deviance. In a straightforward and
highly readable manner, the author examines how these highly
divergent societies operate. He writes about historical forces and
cultural values that are centuries old-and that are still critical
influences in shaping life in modern America and China. In
explaining the differences in the tradition and operation of law in
these two cultures, Li gives us both an invaluable understanding of
Chinese society today and his own appraisal of the strengths and
weaknesses of U.S. law, lawyers, and courts.
Advances in Plant Cold Hardiness provides a detailed, up-to-date
discussion of plant cold hardiness research. The molecular
mechanisms of plant cold hardiness development, a subject not
covered in any other low temperature stress book, is examined in
depth. Other major topics addressed include the freezing tolerance
and injury of plant tissues in vivo and in vitro, in addition to
how research findings impact agricultural applications. The
articles featured in Advances in Plant Cold Hardiness were
presented as key papers at the 4th International Plant Cold
Hardiness Seminar held at the Swedish University of Agricultural
Sciences in Uppsala in July, 1991. The book will appeal to all
researchers, students, and instructors in plant biology,
agriculture, and forestry.

experimentation, computation, and theory on chemistry of glass
forming melt, including melt structure modeling and melt structure
and characterizations. This volume provides a timely update on the
advances in glass basic science research and development.
Now I know you've probably been to lots of bookshops; many shiny
new ones with rows and rows of colourful books. But have you ever
been in a really old bookshop? They aren't just bookshops you know.
Yes, you can see the books on every shelf, but they're not just
rooms full of books. They're actually rooms full of doors; big
doors, little doors, old doors and new doors. You can't see them,
but in every book you pick up there is a door into a world for you
to explore. This is the tale of a bookshop filled to the brim with
every type of door imaginable, just waiting for you. What really
happens when the lights go off, the shop cools down and the book
pages come to life?
