The tea plant, Camellia sinensis, is of particular importance to
humans, and the consumption of tea has a long history of over 2000
years. Currently, tea is one of the most popular beverages
worldwide. In recent years the subject of tea has attracted a great
deal of attention. As well as the use of tea in traditional
medicine, modern biochemical research has shown the potential
application of tea and tea products to disease prevention and
therapy. The goal of this book is to cover all relevant aspects
including botanical identification, processing and major categories
of tea, physiological and pharmacological effects, and experimental
therapeutic effects. The therapeutic applications of tea based on
traditional Chinese medicine are also included. The contributors
are renowned experts from botanical, agricultural, chemical,
biochemical, and medical circles. Tea: Bioactivity and Therapeutic
Potential will be an invaluable reference source for physicians and
all professionals in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food
research and development industries as well as anyone who is
interested in the potential medical applications of tea.
In China, lots of excellent maths students take an active interest
in various maths contests and the best six senior high school
students will be selected to form the IMO National Team to compete
in the International Mathematical Olympiad. In the past ten years
China's IMO Team has achieved outstanding results - they won the
first place almost every year.The authors are coaches of China's
IMO National Team, whose students have won many gold medals many
times in IMO.This book is part of the Mathematical Olympiad Series
which discusses several aspects related to maths contests, such as
algebra, number theory, combinatorics, graph theory and geometry.
The book explains many basic techniques for proving inequalities
such as direct comparison, method of magnifying and reducing,
substitution method, construction method, and so on.

This book is indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service 'The present
book displays the continuing broad interest in the area of
Supramolecular Catalysis. It provides an excellent update to
previous contributions in the field and will be highly beneficial
reading for all students and researchers interested in the
challenges faced in this domain of Supramolecular
Chemistry.'Jean-Marie LehnNobel Laureate The construction of
catalysts by supramolecular forces has recently become a powerful
tool and the role of noncovalent interactions can assist in
designing new tools for the construction of effective and selective
catalytic systems. It is unquestionably, vastly important to
understand how different noncovalent interactions can be controlled
or manipulated under appropriate reaction conditions.
Supramolecular catalysts have had a tremendous impact on the
syntheses of both chemical commodities and fine chemicals over the
last 50 years, leading to the discovery of new reactions that were
previously deemed impossible. This means that supramolecular
chemistry plays a predominant role in accelerating or understanding
chemical reactions.This book which addresses the above points is
written by some of the leading contributors in this field and is
intended for graduate students, researchers and academics working
in supramolecular chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic
chemistry, and physical chemistry as well as researchers with an
interest in the area of catalysis. The authors give examples
illustrating the growth of the field, especially with special
emphasis on new results published over the last decade. They also
provide an explanation of fundamentals and topical research.
The book covers Oriental management theories as well as their
applications; research on positivism; long-term focus; exclusive
interviews and accumulating first-hand data, etc. It also addresses
the following topics: Chinese family businesses that
haveĀ survived for more than one hundred years(e.g. INFINITUS,
Beijing TRT); Chinese enterprises and firms that follow the
oriental management culture serve as the dynamic engines to the 2nd
largest economic entity in the world (e.g., Huawei Technologies
Co., Ltd., Mengniu Dairy Gr., Hainan Airlines and so on); Eastern
and western managerial cultures that have been growing within
Chinese businesses(e.g., Hainan Airlines, INFINITUS); Varied
schools such as Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, legalism, Military
Strategists, Mohist School remain vital but at the same time
Chinese businesses and firms welcome and extract the essence of
western managerial civilization rather than reject it, etc. These
areas will be of particular interest to readers, and the purpose of
the book is not only to acquaint the reader with China by providing
information about Chinese businesses and firms, but also to provide
a royal road to doing business with China as well as allowing them
to learn about Chinese managerial wisdom.

Meditative coming-of-age drama by Korean director Kim Ki-duk. The
film, which is divided into five sections to reperesent the stages
of a man's life, is set entirely on and around a remote mountain
lake where a tiny Buddhist monastery floats on a raft amidst the
breathtakingly beautiful landscape. Here an old Buddhist monk (Oh
Young-Su) instructs his young child apprentice (Kim Jong-Ho) in
Buddhist philosophy and shows him how to live in harmony with
nature. But as the boy grows older, he becomes consumed by guilt,
jealousy and sexual longing, and leaves the monastery to pursue his
worldy desires. However, he eventually returns, exhausted and
drained by his experiences, and (now played by the director, Kim
Ki-duk) slowly matures and rebuilds himself to become a teacher
himself. The film won the Audience Award at the 2003 San Sebastian
film festival, among numerous other international awards.
