Download or read book Developmental Fairy Tales written by Andrew F. Jones and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-02 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1992 Deng Xiaoping famously declared, “Development is the only hard imperative.” What ensued was the transformation of China from a socialist state to a capitalist market economy. The spirit of development has since become the prevailing creed of the People’s Republic, helping to bring about unprecedented modern prosperity, but also creating new forms of poverty, staggering social upheaval, physical dislocation, and environmental destruction. In Developmental Fairy Tales, Andrew F. Jones asserts that the groundwork for this recent transformation was laid in the late nineteenth century, with the translation of the evolutionary works of Lamarck, Darwin, and Spencer into Chinese letters. He traces the ways that the evolutionary narrative itself evolved into a form of vernacular knowledge which dissolved the boundaries between beast and man and reframed childhood development as a recapitulation of civilizational ascent, through which a beleaguered China might struggle for existence and claim a place in the modern world-system. This narrative left an indelible imprint on China’s literature and popular media, from children’s primers to print culture, from fairy tales to filmmaking. Jones’s analysis offers an innovative and interdisciplinary angle of vision on China’s cultural evolution. He focuses especially on China’s foremost modern writer and public intellectual, Lu Xun, in whose work the fierce contradictions of his generation’s developmentalist aspirations became the stuff of pedagogical parable. Developmental Fairy Tales revises our understanding of literature’s role in the making of modern China by revising our understanding of developmentalism’s role in modern Chinese literature.

Download or read book Taylor Davis and the Clash of Kingdoms written by Michelle Isenhoff and published by Michelle Isenhoff. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I would get stuck with an archenemy who won't stay dead... "Why do I have to pay a toll? No one else is forking out dough, you big baboon." I wouldn't recommend repeating those words to anyone who is dangling you a foot off the ground. My face suddenly felt like it had collided with a cement wall at forty miles per hour. I found myself sliding across the tile floor and coming to rest in the corner of the hallway. "You hit me!" I rubbed my jaw in disbelief. Damian had always seemed a level-headed sort of guy. "I can't believe you hit me!" "I'll do a lot worse than that!" A handful of spectators scrambled out of the way as he lunged for me. I dove behind a bench outside the high school office. The secretary never even looked up. I hoped word of my death in front of the wide, newly installed security window didn't leak out to the city's more violent criminal element... I just can't catch a break. Most of my friends only concern themselves with girls and grades, but I have to worry about retaliation from hellish warlords. When three of my classmates succumb to a strange malady, I become the target of irrational violence. Is it a coincidence, as Elena so firmly believes? Or could there be a deeper, more evil explanation? When the epidemic goes national, my team and I are called on to uncover the root of the problem before violence breaks out on a worldwide stage. Our quest leads us to the heart of Africa, to the underworld, and to a second encounter with an enemy who just won't stay dead.

Download or read book The U Boat War written by Lawrence Paterson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-14 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accepted historical narrative of the Second World War predominantly assigns U-boats to the so-called 'Battle of the Atlantic', almost as if the struggle over convoys between the new world and the old can be viewed in isolation from simultaneous events on land and in the air. This has become an almost accepted error. The U-boats war did not exist solely between 1940 and 1943, nor did the Atlantic battle occur in seclusion from other theatres of action. The story of Germany's second U-boat war began on the first day of hostilities with Britain and France and ended with the final torpedo sinking on 7 May 1945. U-boats were active in nearly every theatre of operation in which the Wehrmacht served, and within all but the Southern Ocean. Moreover, these deployments were not undertaken in isolation from one another; instead they were frequently interconnected in what became an increasingly inefficient German naval strategy. This fascinating new book places each theatre of action in which U-boats were deployed into the broader context of the Second World War in its entirety while also studying the interdependence of the various geographic deployments. It illustrates the U-boats' often direct relationship with land, sea and aerial campaigns of both the Allied and Axis powers, dispels certain accepted mythologies, and reveals how the ultimate failure of the U-boats stemmed as much from chaotic German military and industrial mismanagement as it did from Allied advances in code-breaking and weaponry.

Book excerpt: 12-year-old Roy O’Callahan’s plan to be the pitcher for his father’s little league team, play at the little league world series and finally get the girl of his dreams was right on track until the refugees arrived. Not only was the refugees’ middle eastern culture foreign to the small, southern town of Taylor, West Virginia, so was their sport which sounded like it was named after an insect. Despite initial resistance to the strangers in his school, Roy soon recognizes the similarities between the sport he loves and theirs. After being passed over as pitcher by his father, Roy befriends the orphaned refugee boys to learn their game and teach them his own. When the refugees’ host family, a wealthy middle eastern restaurateur, builds a cricket field in the park named after Roy’s grandfather and within close proximity of the town’s prized baseball diamond, the refugee boys realize that in fleeing one war they have only found themselves in the midst of another. Resenting the fact that the foreigners have disgraced the O’Callahan name by building a cricket field in his father’s park and luring his son away from baseball, Roy’s father will stop at nothing to rid the town of the cricket field and those who created it. The Grass and Clay Field is a Middle Grade novel about finding commonality in a land of divisiveness, prejudice and fear. It is about realizing that despite the strong desire to fit in, sometimes what is harder than being different is remaining the same.
