This compelling book provides a meticulously documented account of
officially sanctioned cannibalism in the southwestern province of
Guangxi during the Cultural Revolution. Drawing on his unique
access to local archives of the Chinese Communist Party and on
extensive interviews with party officials, the victims' relatives,
and the murderers themselves, Zheng Yi paints a disturbing picture
of official compliance in the systematic killing and
cannibalization of individuals in the name of political revolution
and class struggle."The treasure-trove of evidence Zheng Yi has
unearthed offers unprecedented insights into the way the
internecine, factional struggles of the Cultural Revolution reached
a horrifying level of insanity and frenzy among the ethnic Zhuang
people of Guangxi. Profoundly moving, acutely observed, and
unflinchingly graphic, Scarlet Memorial is a shining example of a
genre of investigative reporting that courageously and
independently records obscure and officially censored historical
events, revealing hidden dimensions of modern Chinese history and
politics.

This book presents the latest research results related to urban
center and urban center. It expounds the theoretical connotation,
development models, hierarchical function, and spatial layout of
the urban central structure through over 200 figures and tables. In
addition, it analyzes the threshold characteristics, structural
hierarchy, spatial characteristics, and development rules of urban
central structure through field research and quantitative
researches on the major urban central structures in Asia.
Meanwhile, how to solve the issue of construction and layout of
urban central structure in planning and design practice is also
covered. The book reveals the laws and spatial characteristics of
urban central structure and provides a valuable guide both for
urban designers and planners as well as researchers and students
working in urban design and planning fields. It sheds new light on
better understanding of the urban central structure.

This volume includes guiding cases of the Supreme People's Court,
cases deliberated on by the Judicial Council/Committee of the
Supreme People's Court, and cases discussed at the Joint Meetings
of Presiding Judges from the various tribunals. This book is
divided into four sections, including Cases by Justices, Selected
Judicial Opinion(s), "Hot Cases" and "Typical Cases", which will
introduce readers to Chinese legal processes, legal methodologies
and ideology in an intuitive, clear, and accurate manner.This
volume presents cases selected by the trial departments of the
Supreme People's Court of China from their concluded cases. In
order to give full weight to the legal value and social functions
of cases from the Supreme People's Court, and to achieve the goal
of "serving the trial practices, serving economic and social
development, serving legal education and legal scholarship, serving
international legal exchanges among Chinese and foreign legal
communities and serving the rule of law in China", the China
Institute of Applied Jurisprudence, with the approval of the
Supreme People's Court, opted to publish "Selected Cases from the
Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of China" in both
Chinese and English, for domestic and overseas distribution.

Over the past three decades there have been new developments in
therapeutic drug design. In Rational Drug Design: Methods and
Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail many of the
methodologies used to study rational drug design. These include
methods such as virtual screening of chemical hits, rational lead
discovery by high throughput screening, combinatorial and fragment
based lead generation, peptide based drug discovery, and animal
models of lead validation. Written in the highly successful Methods
in Molecular Biology (TM) series format, chapters include
introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary
materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible
laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding
known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Rational Drug Design:
Methods and Protocols seeks to aid scientists in the further study
of rational drug design and future drug discovery.
This volume comprises studies of the early modern drama of motion
and transformation of knowledge. It is unique in taking its global
nature as fundamental and contains studies of the theme of motion
and knowledge in China, Europe and the Pacific from the 16th to the
18th century. People living around the turn of the 17th century
were experiencing motion in ways beyond the grasp of anyone less
than a century earlier. Goods and people were crossing lands and
oceans to distances never envisioned and in scales hardly
imaginable by their recent predecessors. The earth itself has been
set in motion and the heavens were populated by a whole new array
of moving objects: comets, moons, sun spots. Even the motion of
terrestrial objects-so close at hand and seemingly obvious-was
being thoroughly reshaped. In the two centuries to follow, this
incessant, world-changing motion would transform the creation,
interpretation and dissemination of knowledge and the life and
experiences of the people producing it: savants, artisans, pilots,
collectors.

This book is a historical-textual study about transformations of
the aesthetics of the sublime"the literary and aesthetic quality of
greatness under duress"from early English Romanticism to the New
Poetry Movement in twentieth-century China. Zheng sets up the
former and the latter as distinct but historically analogous
moments and argues that both the European Romantic reinvention of
the sublime and its later Chinese transformation represent cultural
movements built on the excessive and capacious nature of the
sublime to counter their shared sense of historical crisis. The
author further postulates, through critical analysis several works,
that these aesthetic practices of modernity suggest a deliberate
historical hyperbolization of literary agency. Such an agency is in
turn constructed imaginatively and affectively as a means to
redress different cultures' traumatic encounter with modernity. The
volume will be of interest to scholars including undergraduate and
graduate students of Romanticism, philosophy, history, English
literature, Chinese literature, comparative literature, and
(comparative) cultural studies.
