Children will love to learn all about their Chinese zodiac animal
with this great multicultural book for kids. Which Chinese zodiac
animal are you? A clever rat? A brave tiger? A hardworking ox? Or
an energetic dragon? In ancient China, each sign marked a different
year in a 12-year calendar. Over time, people believed that a
person's character and destiny were somehow decided by his or her
zodiac animal. Chinese Zodiac Animals explains the traits of each
animal sign and what luck the future might hold for the person born
under that sign. Chinese Zodiac Animals is a fun and informative
way to learn about an important part of Chinese traditional
culture.

This book constitutes the refereed joint proceedings of the 4th
International Workshop on Multimodal Brain Image Analysis, MBAI
2019, and the 7th International Workshop on Mathematical
Foundations of Computational Anatomy, MFCA 2019, held in
conjunction with the 22nd International Conference on Medical
Imaging and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2019, in
Shenzhen, China, in October 2019. The 16 full papers presented at
MBAI 2019 and the 7 full papers presented at MFCA 2019 were
carefully reviewed and selected. The MBAI papers intend to move
forward the state of the art in multimodal brain image analysis, in
terms of analysis methodologies, algorithms, software systems,
validation approaches, benchmark datasets, neuroscience, and
clinical applications. The MFCA papers are devoted to statistical
and geometrical methods for modeling the variability of biological
shapes. The goal is to foster the interactions between the
mathematical community around shapes and the MICCAI community
around computational anatomy applications.
These two novellas by one of China's most prolific writers paint a
picture of life in Shanghai and all the turmoil that comes with it.
Shanghai is one of the cities in China that has been exposed to a
great deal of outside influences throughout its history. The
author, with a keen eye for observation, has chiseled out the life
of common city dwellers in its alleyways from the 1980s to the
1990s in these two stories. Through the perspective of Gu Longfei,
also nicknamed Black Bug, the leading character, River Under the
Eaves follows the family through three generations. In Jiqing Li,
Xiaoyu lives in a new residential area of Shanghai, has a good job
and a handsome boyfriend. She then rents a small room on Jiqing Li,
desiring to live a truly elegant life in Shanghai. But all is not
what it seems and her life heads for turmoil. Behind these stories
is the gap between the cities and countryside, the legacy of the
political upheavals of the past, and the price that has come with
new found prosperity. The people who resided in the stone gate
houses represented the rapidly changing dynamics of the Shanghai
metropolis.
