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.

Professionals are a growing group in China and increasingly make
their presence felt in governance and civil society. At the same
time, however, professionals in the West are under increasing
pressure from commercialism or scepticism about their ability to
rise above self-interest. This book focuses on professionals in
China and asks whether developing countries have a fateful choice:
to embrace Western models of professional organization as they now
exist, or to set off on an independent path, adapting elements of
Western practices to their own historical and cultural situation.
In doing so, the authors in this volume discuss a wealth of issues,
including: the historic antecedents of modern Chinese
professionalism; the implications of professionalism as an import
in China; the impact of socialism, the developmental state and
rampant commercialism on the professions in China; and the
feasibility of liberal professions in an illiberal state. To
conclude, the book considers whether there might be an emerging
professionalism with Chinese characteristics, and how this might
have an impact on the professions elsewhere. Prospects for the
Professions in China will be of interest to students and scholars
of Chinese Studies, law, sociology, medical studies and cultural
studies.

An essential tool for students and professionals, this book
explicates the step-by-step depiction of reality through
perspective, shadow-casting, and entourage. The new edition adds
chapters on different applications and ways of integrating
hand-drawing with computer coloring and lighting. "Design Drawing
Experiences explains what communicating designers do all the time:
They draw to realize a thing that doesn't yet exist. . . . the
lessons of light, shade, tone, value, texture, and so on are
delightful, simple and clearly demonstrated. Perspective drawing is
especially well presented and demystified." Landscape Architecture"
