Book Synopsis The Eagle and the Dragon by : Serge Gruzinski
Download or read book The Eagle and the Dragon written by Serge Gruzinski and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important new book the renowned historian Serge Gruzinski returns to two episodes in the sixteenth century which mark a decisive stage in global history and show how China and Mexico experienced the expansion of Europe. In the early 1520s, Magellan set sail for Asia by the Western route, Cortes seized Mexico and some Portuguese based in Malacca dreamed of colonizing China. The Aztec Eagle was destroyed but the Chinese Dragon held strong and repelled the invaders - after first seizing their cannon. For the first time, people from three continents encountered one other, confronted one other and their lives became entangled. These events were of great interest to contemporaries and many people at the time grasped the magnitude of what was going on around them. The Iberians succeeded in America and failed in China. The New World became inseparable from the Europeans who were to conquer it, while the Celestial Empire became, for a long time to come, an unattainable goal. Gruzinski explores this encounter between civilizations that were different from one another but that already fascinated contemporaries, and he shows that our world today bears the mark of this distant age. For it was in the sixteenth century that human history began to be played out on a global stage. It was then that connections between different parts of the world began to accelerate, not only between Europe and the Americas but also between Europe and China. This is what is revealed by a global history of the sixteenth century, conceived as another way of reading the Renaissance, less Eurocentric and more in tune with our age.
Book Synopsis The Eagle and the Dragon by : Lewis F. McIntyre
Download or read book The Eagle and the Dragon written by Lewis F. McIntyre and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eagle and the Dragon takes the reader on an epic journey of thousands of miles by sea and land across three continents. When Senator Aulus Aemilius Galba is tapped to lead the first Roman mission to China, he anticipates an easy path to fame and fortune. Gaius Lucullus sees a bright military future, but his reluctant centurion Antonius Aristides would rather be somewhere else. Translators Marcia Lucia and her brother Marcus were taken from their village in China to serve the Han court, abused and despised, hiding a horrible secret. A notorious Arab pirate, with a Roman price on his head and crucifixion in his future, shadows the entourage, seeking the wealthy prize of their treasure-laden ships. But Fate has other plans for these unlikely companions, sending them together on a journey that will take them thousands of miles by sea and land across the tapestry of the mysterious worlds at the close of the first century. From the storm-tossed Indian Ocean to the opulent Hanaean court, from the wild grassy steppes north of China to the forbidding peaks of the Pamir Mountains of Bactria, they fight for their lives, hoping to find the road that will lead them back to Rome.
Book Synopsis Between the Eagle and the Dragon by : Thomas Barlow
Download or read book Between the Eagle and the Dragon written by Thomas Barlow and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will the great innovations of the twenty-first century be American or Chinese? Who is winning the innovation race? And what are the implications for the people of other nations? There is a contest for technological supremacy occurring across the Pacific - a contest of historic importance, for its outcome will shape the world during the coming century and the winner will claim not just economic, military, and political ascendancy, but also superiority in their values and system of government. For those who grasp that technological innovation underlies economic strength, this book unravels some of the most important, but least well understood dimensions of American and Chinese competition. In a succinct, informative, and evidence-based manner, it analyzes whether China can match American levels of invention and innovation. Along the way, it draws conclusions for other nations caught between the Eagle and the Dragon - nations like Australia, Japan, and Korea - who are weighing the advantages of strategic alliances and trade links with both great powers. There has never been more a more important time to understand the implications of escalating American and Chinese competition. For those who believe technological innovation underlies economic strength, this book presents the facts in a straightforward but compelling manner.

Book Synopsis Shifting Power in Asia-Pacific? by : Enrico Fels
Download or read book Shifting Power in Asia-Pacific? written by Enrico Fels and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 779 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates whether a power shift has taken place in the Asia-Pacific region since the end of the Cold War. By systematically examining the development of power dynamics in Asia-Pacific, it challenges the notion that a wealthier and militarily more powerful China is automatically turning the regional tides in its favour. With a special emphasis on Sino-US competition, the book explores the alleged linkage between the regional distribution of relevant material and immaterial capabilities, national power and the much-cited regional power shift. The book presents a novel concept for measuring power in international relations by outlining a composite index on aggregated power (CIAP) that includes 55 variables for 44 regional countries and covers a period of twenty years. Moreover, it develops a middle power theory that outlines the significance of middle powers in times of major power shifts. By addressing political, military and economic cooperation via a structured-focused comparison and by applying a comparative-historical analysis, the book analyses in depth the bilateral relations of six regional middle powers to Washington and Beijing.

Download or read book Eagle Dragon written by D. B. Richard and published by D. B. Richard. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Talismans of the Kings of Romez is a multi-book series that chronicles mysterious events that begin to unfold on Romez, entangling each of the kingdoms in difficulties that lead them towards an uncertain destiny. These begin with the sudden unsealing of ancestral talismans, leading to the intervention of specific characters who cause the ensuing events. The series includes several volumes, each of which explain the events occurring in one or more kingdoms. These events are recorded by the Great Soul of Antelam, the ancient historian and scholar of Romez, who has been recording its events since the world's formation. He lives beneath the surface, unseen by any of the planet's inhabitants. The first volume of this exciting series, The Eagle Dragons, documents events that unfold in Santilan and Enestera. The story begins in Santilan, where greedy Quadera Rodavas, who was appointed caretaker of Castle Black by King Jannes, has recently fled when Helerant captured the Castle. After his failure, Quadera begins looking for a legendary cave, and finally locates it with the help of a friend. He discovers a mother lode of thermal diamonds covering a viable clutch of eggs of the extinct Eagle Dragons, which have been gone for millennia. His avarice, and the determination of other characters in the story to own or sell the precious diamonds and eggs, sends Santilan careening down a perilous path toward an unknown destination. Meanwhile, Enestera is undergoing massive changes. The Enesterans worship the gods of the Jahsar and Velanis Mountains. In the past, a sorcerer they consider their common ancestor, Sholrus, used a magical tool called The Four Mirrors to hide his bodily organs in the Velanis range to protect them from the passage of time. He lived for six hundred years until he was incidentally killed with the magic sword Dragal, and buried on the tallest peak, Mount Velanis. There are a number of effectively magical items in Enestera, for whose possession most of the local kings and princes hatch plots. One of them is Tedora Ardelan, a grandson of Rennes of Riklasta, who paves the way to infiltrate Enestera and launches a search for The Four Mirrors. However, he is caught due to his recklessness, The king of Enestera, the ruthless Rantoram, jails Tedora and sentences him to death…

Book excerpt: It was supposed to be just another routine training exercise. At least, that's what the captain and crew of the USS John S. McCain believed up until a hypersonic missile hit their ship and sunk her in the icy waters of the South China Sea. When James Chase left Delta Force over a decade before, he had believed his days of fighting terrorism-both domestic and abroad-were over. As a CID Special Agent assigned to protecting the Secretary of Defense, his days had become almost predictable. Yet now, facing the very real risk of global conflict, he has found himself once more in the middle of the fray. This time, however, the stakes are so much higher. In this exhilarating sequel to The Delta Mission, Chase finds himself in a frantic race against time to prevent the assassination of the Secretary of Defense even as war starts to unfold between China and the United States. Can he keep himself and the Secretary of Defense alive long enough to witness the culmination of these mounting hostilities in the Far East, or will the red curtain ultimately fall on him next?
