"Sang Young Park is my new favorite writer, as in his work we see
life in modern Korea in what I think of as a fuller way, due to the
inclusion of queer lives there. This novel is bawdy, hilarious,
heartbreaking, fearless."--Alexander Chee, author of How to Write
an Autobiographical Novel

Taking off the wraps once more, but this time the action moves to
China for round three of the Mummy adventure. For 2,000 years the
ruthless Chinese Dragon Emperor (Jet Li) and his vast army of
warriors have been frozen in time, cast in clay, waiting for their
moment to rise again. When young archaeologist Alex O'Connell (Luke
Ford) is duped into bringing the ancient warlord back to life, he
soon realises he has to call in the only people he knows with
experience and knowledge of how to battle the undead - his parents,
father Rick (Brendan Fraser) and mother Evelyn (Maria Bello). As
the emperor attempts to re-unite with his massed warriors and
finally fulfil his dream of world domination, Alex and his family,
along with mystical, high-kicking sorceress Zi Juan (Michelle Yeoh)
and a rival cast of undead, have to pull out all the stops to keep
the evil tyrant from achieving his ends.
This timely book evaluates international human capital policies,
offering a comparative perspective on global efforts to generate
new ideas and novel ways of thinking about human capital. Examining
educational reforms, quality of education and links between
education and socio-economic environments, chapters contrast
Western experiences and perspectives with those of industrializing
economies in Asia, focusing particularly on Korea and the USA.
Contributors analyse trends in Korean education, including state,
charter and private education, higher education and student loans
and debt, and provide policy prescriptions for the improvement of
higher education financing in the USA. Offering theoretical
insights into the relationship between socio-economic and
educational benefits for children and young people, and human
capital formation, further chapters consider recent empirical
evidence on disadvantaged people in the USA, before broadening the
scope of analysis to consider the effects of human capital on
industrial structure and productivity among OECD countries.
Providing a unique and incisive understanding of human capital
formation in the context of education, this book lays out guidance
to scholars and researchers of human capital, particularly those
concentrating on policies in Korea and the USA. It will also be
useful to policymakers involved in economic and education policy.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
