Book Synopsis Last Days of the Mighty Mekong by : Brian Eyler
Download or read book Last Days of the Mighty Mekong written by Brian Eyler and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated for its natural beauty and its abundance of wildlife, the Mekong river runs thousands of miles through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Its basin is home to more than 70 million people and has for centuries been one of the world's richest agricultural areas and a biodynamic wonder. Today, however, it is undergoing profound changes. Development policies, led by a rising China in particular, aim to interconnect the region and urbanize the inhabitants. And a series of dams will harness the river's energy, while also stymieing its natural cycles and cutting off food supplies for swathes of the population. In Last Days of the Mighty Mekong, Brian Eyler travels from the river's headwaters in China to its delta in southern Vietnam to explore its modern evolution. Along the way he meets the region’s diverse peoples, from villagers to community leaders, politicians to policy makers. Through conversations with them he reveals the urgent struggle to save the Mekong and its unique ecosystem.
Book Synopsis The Transformation of Yunnan in Ming China by : Christian Daniels
Download or read book The Transformation of Yunnan in Ming China written by Christian Daniels and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the Ming state transformed the multi-ethnic society of Yunnan into a province. Yunnan had remained outside the ambit of central government when ruled by the Dali kingdom, 937-1253, and its foundation as a province by the Yuan regime in 1276 did not disrupt Dali kingdom style political, social and religious institutions. It was the Ming state in the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries through its institutions for military and civilian control which brought about profound changes and truly transformed local society into a province. In contrast to other studies which have portrayed Yunnan as a non-Han frontier region waiting to be colonised, this book, by focusing on changes in local society, casts off the idea of Yunnan as a border area far from civilisation. Chapters 1, 2, and 5 of this book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Book Synopsis English Language Education Across Greater China by : Anwei Feng
Download or read book English Language Education Across Greater China written by Anwei Feng and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first to offer a comprehensive and, at the same time, in-depth examination of the spread of English and English language education across Greater China. It consists of two parts. Part 1 presents rich sociolinguistic data for easy comparisons between mainland China, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao, while Part 2 explores in depth the phenomena inside mainland China to provide contrastive analysis of English language use and education in economically booming areas such as Shanghai and Guangdong and underdeveloped regions like Xinjiang and Yunnan. With the descriptive, comparative and analytical accounts of different territories ranging from nation-states to small villages in remote areas, theories on the spread of English, second/third language acquisition and identity are challenged with new concepts proposed and established.

Book Synopsis Red Stamps and Gold Stars by : Sarah Turner
Download or read book Red Stamps and Gold Stars written by Sarah Turner and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Red Stamps and Gold Stars brings together all the messiness, compromise, and ethical dilemmas that underscore fieldwork in upland socialist Asia and elsewhere in the Global South. These challenges can range from how to gain research access to politically sensitive border regions, to helping informants-turned-friends access appropriate health care, to reflections on how to best represent ethnic minority voices. The volume’s contributors – accomplished geographers, anthropologists, and ethnohistorians – foreground the importance of questioning one’s subjective gaze and of debating representations of “the other.”
Book Synopsis We Need Another Voice by : Mosol Don S. Lee MD.
Download or read book We Need Another Voice written by Mosol Don S. Lee MD. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is A Lone Voice from the retired medical doctor who was a faculty member. Geopolitics play a very important role. Korean historian could raise a voice against China. Westerners have not heard any other voice from the Korean scholars. The winners write history. Generalissimo Chiang knew that Korea has been an independent country for millennia of years and raised a voice to provide Joseon as an independent country at the secret Yalta Meeting. The US didn't know Korean history and drew the western front not including the Korean peninsula. After the Korean war, the US invited Korean scholars to learn about the hermit kingdom. One of Korean historians who were educated in Japan came to the US and compiled Korean history in English within a year. He simply translated the text written by the Chinese and Japanese about Korea. His book is the eye opening for the American and sets the mainstream. During the cultural revolution under Chairman Mao, Zhou Enlai realized that one of his compatriots could be in danger. By the time Zhou arrived in Manchuria, his friend had been killed by the Red Guards. Zhou gave an emotional speech stating that Manchuria has been the homeland of Joseon People. Korea has a unique group of historians namely hermit historians. It started during the Mongol invasion and resurrected under the Japanese invasion. Hwandan Gogi is a text on ancient Korean history originally emerged from the Manchuria. This is a sister copy of the author’s last one. It explored the Gojoseon diaspora who remained under the southerners. They ran away to the south. Elders went up to the eastern slope of the Himalaya Mountains and implanted the ancient faith, Taoism. It became the primitive Buddhism. As came back to the homeland, adapted ancient faith, it became Maitreyan Buddhism. As ancient History of Judaism remained in the Old Testament, Hwandan Gogi and Buddhist scriptures include ancient Korean History.
