Book Synopsis Interpreting China's Grand Strategy by : Michael D. Swaine
Download or read book Interpreting China's Grand Strategy written by Michael D. Swaine and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2000-03-22 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's continuing rapid economic growth and expanding involvement in global affairs pose major implications for the power structure of the international system. To more accurately and fully assess the significance of China's emergence for the United States and the global community, it is necessary to gain a more complete understanding of Chinese security thought and behavior. This study addresses such questions as: What are China's most fundamental national security objectives? How has the Chinese state employed force and diplomacy in the pursuit of these objectives over the centuries? What security strategy does China pursue today and how will it evolve in the future? The study asserts that Chinese history, the behavior of earlier rising powers, and the basic structure and logic of international power relations all suggest that, although a strong China will likely become more assertive globally, this possibility is unlikely to emerge before 2015-2020 at the earliest. To handle this situation, the study argues that the United States should adopt a policy of realistic engagement with China that combines efforts to pursue cooperation whenever possible; to prevent, if necessary, the acquisition by China of capabilities that would threaten America's core national security interests; and to remain prepared to cope with the consequences of a more assertive China.
Book Synopsis Chet Baker, His Life and Music by : Jeroen de Valk
Download or read book Chet Baker, His Life and Music written by Jeroen de Valk and published by Aspekt Publishers B.V.. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally: the ultimate revised, updated, and expanded edition! Chet Baker was a star at 23 years old, winning the polls of America's leading magazines. But much of his later life was overshadowed by his drug use and problems with the law. 'Chet Baker: His Life and Music' was Baker's first biography, published a year after Baker's passing in 1988. It was available in five languages. Now Jeroen de Valk's thoroughly updated and expanded edition is finally here. De Valk spoke to Baker himself, his friends and colleagues, the police inspector who investigated his death, and many others. He read virtually every relevant word ever published about Chet and listened to every recording, issued or unissued. The result of all this is a book which clears up quite a few misunderstandings. Chet was not the 'washed-up' musician we saw in the 'documentary' Let's Get Lost. His death was not thát mysterious. According to De Valk, Chet was an incredible improviser, someone who could invent endless streams of melody. "He delivered these melodies with a highly individual, mellow sound. He turned his heart inside out, almost to the point of embarrassing his listeners." Jazz Times: "A solidly researched biography... a believable portrait of Baker... a number of enlightening interviews...." Library Journal: "De Valk's sympathetic yet gritty rendering of Baker's life blends well with his account of Baker's recording career." Cadence: "A classic of modern jazz biography. De Valk's writing is so straightforward as to be stark, yet this is just what makes it so rich." Jazzwise: "... it's going to be definitive." Jeroen de Valk (1958) is a Dutch musician and journalist. He also authored an acclaimed biography about tenor saxophonist Ben Webster.

Book Synopsis The Systems Model of Creativity by : Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Download or read book The Systems Model of Creativity written by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume of the Collected Works of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi represents his work on Art and Creativity. Starting with his seminal 1964 study on creativity up to his 2010 publication in Newsweek, the volume spans over four decades of research and writing and clearly shows Csikszentmihalyi’s own development as an academic, psychologist, researcher and person. Unconventional and unorthodox in his approach, Csikszentmihalyi chose the topic of creativity as a field of study believing it would help him be a better psychologist and advance his understanding of how to live a better life. The chapters in this volume trace the history of the study of creativity back to the days of Guilford and research on IQ and Jacob Getzels’ work on creativity and intelligence. Firmly grounded in that history, yet extending it in new directions, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi started his life-long study on artistic creativity. His first extensive study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago enabled him to observe, test and interview fine art students drawing in a studio. The study formed the very basis of all his work on the subject and has resulted in several articles, represented in this volume, on such creativity-related concepts as problem solving versus problem finding, the personality of the artist, the influence of the social context, creativity as a social construction, developmental issues and flow. The main contribution to the topic of creativity and also the main concept explored in this volume, is the Systems Model of Creativity. Seven chapters in this volume discuss the development of this conceptual model and theory.
