China has been growing at over ten per cent annually since 1978, but this has only come to very widespread notice in the past decade. This received wisdom about China has been largely of two types, both of which more or less understand China in the context of neoliberalism. The more business- or business studies-oriented literature seems to argue that if China does not adapt the rule of clear and distinct property and contract law in short, of Western institutions its economy will stall. The second set of voices is more clearly from the left, arguing that the Chinese economy, and city, is neo-liberal. For them, China does not diverge widely from the Anglo-American model that, from 2008, has brought the world economy to its knees.

"

China Constructing Capitalism" takes issue with these analyses. The authors argue that it is not Western neo-liberalism that is constructing the Chinese economy, but instead that China is constructing its own version of capitalism. The two central theses of their argument are:

• economic life neo-liberal economic life is "individualized" and "disembedded," while the China model is "relational" and "situated"
• urban change China has created a form of local state capitalism which stands in contrast to neoliberal versions of the city.

This book analyses China as a 'risk culture', examining among others Chinese firms and political ties, property development, migrant urbanisms and share trading rooms. It scrutinises the ever-present shadow of the risk-averse (yet uncertainty-creating) state. "China Constructing Capitalism" is a must-read for social scientists, policy makers and investors.

A look into the author's personal encounters with the bears of Hyder, Alaska, and Stewart BC. This composition is complemented with extensive colour and black and white photography throughout.

The transition of Keith Scott's career from professional basketball player to bear man is described and humorously illustrated in this informational colouring book about bears and bear safety. Keith Scott is known as 'The Bear Man' because of his expertise in bear behaviour and his many safe encounters with black bears, polar bears, and even grizzly bears. Keith talks about what to do if you meet bears while you are hiking or camping, but most importantly he tells you how to avoid them.

Microbial Electrochemical and Fuel Cells: Fundamentals and Applications contains the most updated information on bio-electrical systems and their ability to drive an electrical current by mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature to produce a small amount of power. One of the most promising features of the microbial fuel cell is its application to generate power from wastewater, and its use in the treatment of water to remove contaminants, making it a very sustainable source of power generation that can feasibly find application in rural areas where providing more conventional sources of power is often difficult. The book explores, in detail, both the technical aspects and applications of this technology, and was written by an international team of experts in the field who provide an introduction to microbial fuel cells that looks at their electrochemical principles and mechanisms, explains the materials that can be used for the various sections of the fuel cells, including cathode and anode materials, and provides key analysis of microbial fuel cell performance looking at their usage in hydrogen production, waste treatment, and sensors, amongst other applications.

Grizzly bears can climb trees; black bears can be brown - or even white, and some coastal bears will not hibernate at all. These facts, and the vibrant photographs of bears, underscore The Bear Man's true message, which is: learn how to behave around bears; know proper 'bear manners' and you - and the bear - will survive an encounter. Armed with just bear spray and the knowledge he has acquired in nearly forty years of studying bears in their natural habitat, Keith Scott hikes the wilds of Canada and Alaska, looking for bears, living where they live. His adventures and experience have made him a specialist on bear habitats and behaviour, and his commitment is to teach people about these misunderstood and magnificent animals.

A complete guide to intestinal dysbiosis by a world-class medical doctor with over 30 years of personal experience treating Candida, yeasts and related conditions. It's a holistically oriented book but explains conventional testing and treatments, alongside alternative remedies, including herbs and supplements. It will take you into the stunning new world of the human microbiome which has emerged as probably the most important health phenomenon of our time.

Prior to 1964 the nation of Zambia was governed by a British administration as a Protectorate under the name of Northern Rhodesia. Despite the tensions and difficulties posed by the diversity of ethnic identities sufficient cohesion amongst the groups was established to overthrow British rule and establish an independent nation. Since Independence Zambia has persisted in maintaining the territorial integrity of its these boundaries, and as a result has continued to maintain an element of cohesion amongst the competing ethnic groups. This work seeks to understand, why, despite their rivalries, these groups coalesced sufficiently to establish an independent nation. Drawing upon the insights of Girard a cycle of fragmentation and coalescence is identified as repeating itself in various guises throughout Zambian history. The final part of the work carries out a sustained theological reflection based on the insights gained and makes some proposals for the praxis of the church in Zambia.

The "Golden Age" Of Antibiotics Is Over Deadly new organisms, resistant to all known antibiotics, are emerging all over the planet and gaining ground FAST... It's over The truth is, the comfortable world as we have known it for the last 60 years is coming rapidly to an end. Bacteria are deadly and the short period of time where we were able to control them is vanishing fast. Because of their fantastic power of multiplication (doubling every 20 minutes or so), that new strain could be all over the Earth within months, or even weeks. You've heard of MRSA, everyone has heard of MRSA. But did you know that in 2009 an even more virulent new strain of MRSA emerged, that is FIVE TIMES more deadly and kills 50% of its victims? But it's not just MRSA. Now we have VRE (vancomycin-resistant enterococcus), which is far more deadly than MRSA (100% fatal septicemia). Also we now have PRSP (penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae). It is reported that out of 100,000 hospitalizations for pneumonia, 40% are now due to this organism And don't forget, resistant syphilis is back on the loose. Syphilis (Lues) was one of the most feared of all diseases for centuries and kept young men and women in terror of the act of sexual union. Our old enemy TB is on the prowl too, with a new strain which is classed MDR (multiple-drug resistant). In Germany in the summer of 2011 A deadly new strain of E. Coli emerged, that is highly resistant to antibiotics and killed hundreds in Europe on it's unstoppable rampage. If you are not worried about this deteriorating position, you should be. False reliance on drugs and pharma medicine has proven to be a weak strategy: the game is LOST The Truth Is: You can't hold back bacteria. They are too overwhelmingly numerous and powerful. But there is GOOD news... In the days before antibiotics not everyone died of their infections. There were scores of great, workable non-drug solutions to infections. These remedies still work You need to get to know them, get re-acquainted with our folklore and natural heritage again and fast. You never know when the next outbreak will sweep your neighborhood. It's important to strengthen your immune defenses, of course. But you also need to go on a short education course of learning what your antibiotic-alternative options are. To make it easy for you, Dr. Keith has compiled a comprehensive report of all the suitable alternatives, with scientific studies to support them. You'll be amazed just how many humble home remedies and plant-based solutions have been studied scientifically and demonstrated to work effectively. PLUS, he has given you lots of very modern possibilities that were not even dreamed of in the era before antibiotics. This is the AUTHORITY report you have been waiting for. Dr. Keith is well known for demanding minimum scientific standards, not just myth, "wise woman stories" and ignorant conjecture.
