ten stunningly illustrated pop-ups in this timely souvenir and
addition to the wonderful Panorama Pop series. King Charles III's
coronation will take place in May 2023. This beautiful novelty
keepsake traces the King's life up to this historic moment. Ten
illustrated pop-ups combine with information about his stately
duties as well as his personal life, from his childhood as heir to
the throne to his investiture in Wales as well as his marriage,
good works and connections to various charities. This book also
features intriguing facts and striking pop-up illustrations of
famous royal residences and popular tourist destinations, including
Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Tower of London.
Celebrate the monarchy and all things royal in this exquisite
cut-paper souvenir.
This book explores the cultural bridges connecting George Bernard
Shaw and his contemporaries, such as Charles Dickens and Arthur
Miller, to China. Analyzing readings, adaptations, and connections
of Shaw in China through the lens of Chinese culture, Li details
the negotiations between the focused and culturally specific
standpoints of eastern and western culture while also investigating
the simultaneously diffused, multi-focal, and comprehensive
perspectives that create strategic moments that favor
cross-cultural readings. With sources ranging from Shaw's
connections with his contemporaries in China to contemporary
Chinese films and interpretations of Shaw in the digital space, Li
relates the global impact of not only what Chinese lenses can
reveal about Shaw's world, but how intercultural and
interdisciplinary readings can shed new light on familiar and
obscure works alike.

This book deals with the SLF/ELF wave propagation, an important
branch of electromagnetic theory. The SLF/ELF wave propagation
theory is well applied in earthquake electromagnetic radiation,
submarine communication, thunderstorm detection, and geophysical
prospecting and diagnostics. The propagation of SLF/ELF
electromagnetic waves is introduced in various media like the
earth-ionospheric waveguide, ionospheric plasma, sea water, earth,
and the boundary between two different media or the stratified
media. Applications in the earthquake electromagnetic radiation and
the submarine communications are also addressed. This book is
intended for scientists and engineers in the fields of radio
propagation and EM theory and applications. Prof. Pan is a
professor at China Research Institute of Radiowave Propagation in
Qingdao (China). Dr. Li is a professor at Zhejiang University in
Hangzhou (China).

The beginning of the new decade brings with it a celebration of one
of Scotland's most cherished poets, Scotland's first modern Makar,
Edwin Morgan. A son of Glasgow, the city's first poet Laureate,
Morgan wrote about the city he loved, the people in it and about
Scotland more widely: the country that he was so passionate about.
To mark the centenary, Polygon, an imprint of Birlinn Limited, is
repatriating Edwin Morgan back to Scotland where he is to be
published again, in association with Carcanet. Morgan was at once a
prolific and eclectic writer, whose themes were as diverse as love
and science fiction. And to celebrate the diversity of such a loved
poet we are publishing five individual, thematically arranged,
selected poems. Each book contains twenty poems, works on: love;
Scotland; people and places; animals; and space. These volumes are
introduced by popular names: Jackie Kay, Liz Lochhead, Ali Smith
and Michael Rosen. This box set is sure to be popular with fans of
his works and collectors.
Since 1949 Taiwan and China have been governed by different
political regimes. Nevertheless, research shows that women in both
societies now enjoy significantly higher social status and have
lower fertility rates. No systematic empirical research has
compared the two. This book is designed to investigate the effects
of women's status on fertility and sterilization behaviors in these
two areas by means of multi-level analysis focusing on women's
education levels and employment status as predictors at both the
individual and aggregate levels. To examine the influence of
enforced policy, in China's models, variables were added about
whether the participants had a government-issued one-child
certificate or had complied with the childbirth quota set by local
authorities. Most results are consistent with our hypotheses.The
findings of this book, particularly the micro-macro linkages,
contribute to an explanation of how higher women's status and lower
fertility rates across the two regimes emerged from both common and
disparate processes. How multi-level investigations of fertility
and women's status could be implemented in other parts of the world
is covered.
Cytology is a unique subspecialty in anatomic pathology, and plays
a critical role in the diagnosis of a variety of benign and
malignant lesions by using minimally invasive procedures, such as
fine needle aspiration, brushing, washing and lavage. Cytology not
only provides an accurate diagnosis of the lesion based on the
cytomorphological evaluation at cellular level, but also provides
material for molecular characterization of a tumor for targeted
therapy. In the era of personalized medicine, cytology has
continued to grow and evolve as an important diagnostic tool. For
example, some types of procedures are routinely used, diagnostic
criteria have become more refined, and certain terminology has been
changed based on current WHO classifications. Therefore, it is
necessary to update our knowledge and terminology in cytology. In
this volume, we have retained the quality and the clarity of the
series, and like the other volumes, this volume aims to be concise
and comprehensive yet clinically relevant to daily practice.
Although this volume is written by multiple authors, all chapters
follow a similar format: brief introduction of the specific
organ/system (including types of specimens and techniques to obtain
samples), description of normal findings, and a practice approach
to diagnose benign and malignant lesions. In each chapter, the key
cytomorphological feature and main differential diagnoses of the
lesion are summarized in a concise table. Images in each chapter
are instructive and clearly represent findings. Where necessary, we
have also illustrated the important ancillary tests, such as flow
cytometry, immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis, which are
crucial for an accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy. The updated
knowledge, including key cytomorphological features, current
terminology and molecular diagnostic tests, is the highlight of
this volume.
Held in Singapore from 9 to 11 October 2009, the 2009 International
Conference on Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering
(CBEE 2009) aims to provide a platform for researchers, engineers,
academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the
world to present their research and development activities in
chemical, biological and environmental engineering. Conference
delegates will also have the opportunity to exchange new ideas and
application experiences, establish business or research relations
and find global partners for future collaboration.
