Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3,000 Years of War and Peace in the Maya Lowlands presents the cutting-edge research of 25 authors in the fields of archaeology, biological anthropology, art history, ethnohistory, and epigraphy. Together, they explore issues central to ancient Maya identity, political history, and warfare. The Maya lowlands of Guatemala, Belize, and southeast Mexico have witnessed human occupation for at least 11,000 years, and settled life reliant on agriculture began some 3,100 years ago. From the earliest times, Maya communities expressed their shifting identities through pottery, architecture, stone tools, and other items of material culture. Although it is tempting to think of the Maya as a single unified culture, they were anything but homogeneous, and differences in identity could be expressed through violence. 3,000 Years of War and Peace in the Maya Lowlands explores the formation of identity, its relationship to politics, and its manifestation in warfare from the earliest pottery-making villages through the late colonial period by studying the material remains and written texts of the Maya. This volume is an invaluable reference for students and scholars of the ancient Maya, including archaeologists, art historians, and anthropologists.

Book excerpt: Toomas Nipernaadi is the eternal wanderer. Each spring he travels into the countryside, drifting from village to village. Wherever he turns up adventure and trouble ensue. He works as a rafter, impersonates a pastor, drains swampland and becomes the master of a farm. He is full of stories and tall tales and enchants the village girls he encounters who fall in love with his elusive will-of-the-wisp character before he is gone as suddenly as he arrived. There is both a fairy-tale element and a darker side to Toomas Nipernaadi who is both the hero and the villain in his own story. First published in 1928 Toomas Nipernaadi remains one of the most popular books in Estonia. It has been widely translated and made into a successful film.

Their efforts, often creative, included making protective gear for hospitals and frontline health-care workers, producing vital equipment for saving patients’ lives, and, perhaps most importantly, supplying the funds and resources needed to develop a vaccine. Back in March, when many places began experiencing shortages of essential supplies, some companies realized they could help by adapting their production equipment to new uses. For instance, when hand sanitizer became scarce, luxury goods company LVMH, owner of high-end brands like Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Givenchy, used three of its perfume factories in France to turn out tons of hand-sanitizing gel for hospital workers. Other big names in fashion, including Ralph Lauren and Carolina Herrera, contributed to relief efforts by producing face masks and medical gowns. And if the correct material wasn’t on hand, no problem. Fanatics, maker of baseball jerseys, stepped up to the plate and produced protective masks and gowns using the same material they normally use to make baseball uniforms. 當新冠病毒在今年初演變成大流行，世界各地的公司和企業領導人都立即加入了這場對抗病毒的奮戰。他們的努力通常具有創意，包括為醫院和前線醫護人員製作防護裝備、生產拯救病人生命的重要設備，以及或許是最重要的，提供研發疫苗所需的資金和資源。 在今年三月，當時許多地方開始面臨必要物資短缺，一些公司意識到他們能藉由調整生產設備改作新的用途來提供協助。舉例來說，手部消毒液供不應求時，奢侈品公司路威酩軒集團（LVMH），旗下擁有高級品牌如路易威登（Louis Vuitton）、迪奧（Christian Dior）和紀梵希（Givenchy），利用在法國的三家香水工廠生產大量的乾洗手給醫院工作人員使用。 其他知名時尚品牌包括雷夫羅倫（Ralph Lauren）和卡羅琳娜海萊拉（Carolina Herrera）生產口罩和醫療用手術袍為救援行動做出貢獻。如果手邊沒有適合的材料也不成問題。棒球衣製造商Fanatics挺身而出，使用他們平常用來製造棒球制服的相同原料來生產防護口罩和手術袍。 8/5 A vital piece of medical equipment for treating COVID-19 patients is the ventilator, a machine that helps patients breathe. As the number of gravely ill patients grew, many hospitals were experiencing drastic shortages of this much-needed device. That’s when automobile companies General Motors, Mercedes-AMG, and Tesla stepped in to help by producing these lifesaving devices. Business leaders also joined in the fight, among the most noticeable being Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who put almost one-third of his $3.6 billion fortune into a coronavirus relief fund. Meanwhile, Bill Gates, Alibaba founder Jack Ma, and others together pledged over US$1.2 billion toward various efforts. The most important goal, though, has been finding a vaccine, and here the contribution of entrepreneurs isn’t lacking either. Through his foundation, Bill Gates plans to fund the construction of factories for seven coronavirus vaccine candidates, with the goal of selecting one or two that would most likely be successful. COVID-19 has produced the biggest health and economic crisis the world has experienced in decades. It’s good to know that such companies and business leaders have, with their global reach, contributed to the fight against this disease. 治療新冠肺炎患者的一樣重要醫療器材就是呼吸器，這是幫助病人呼吸的機器。隨著重症病患數量逐漸增加，許多醫院都面臨這個迫切需要的裝置嚴重短缺。那時汽車公司通用汽車（General Motors）、AMG（Mercedes-AMG）和特斯拉（Tesla）介入幫忙生產這些救命的裝置。 企業領導人也加入這場抗戰，其中最引人注目的就是推特執行長傑克．多西，他將自己三十六億美元的財產近三分之一投入新冠病毒的救濟金。同時，比爾．蓋茲、阿里巴巴創辦人馬雲等都共同承諾了超過十二億美元用於各項行動的捐款。 不過，最重要的目標一直是找到疫苗，在此也不乏企業家的貢獻。比爾．蓋茲計畫透過他的基金會，資助七家新冠疫苗的候選廠商興建工廠，目標是從中選出一、兩家最有可能成功的。 新冠肺炎已造成數十年來全世界所面臨最大的健康和經濟危機。很高興知道有這些公司和企業領導人，以他們的全球影響力致力於對抗這個疾病。 News Report 看新聞學英語 Pandemic Could Cause Famines of “Biblical Proportions” 新冠肺炎疫情可能導致「聖經等級」饑荒 Corporate Contribution 企業回饋 Companies Jump into Coronavirus Fight 企業伸援手，共同面對新冠肺炎 Culture 文化理解 Don’t Stand So Close to Me! 個人空間停看聽 CNN News Taiwan’s Baseball Season Kicks Off—with a New Global Fan Base 台灣棒球季領先全球開打 Dialogue Focus 情境對話 A World of Animals 圖解動物英語 Going to the Zoo! 來去動物園！ Literature 文學花園 A Retrieved Reformation 〈歧路新生〉 Travel 閱讀策略 A Trip to the Fringe 熱鬧非凡的愛丁堡藝穗節 Writing 寫作練習 Translation Practice 翻譯寫作 Human Body 身體常識 Common Myths about the Immune System 免疫系統常見的迷思 People 人物側寫 Justin Bieber: Finding Happiness 小賈斯汀：浪子回頭尋找幸福 Science 科學與生活 Soap: Superhero in the Fight against Coronavirus 肥皂：對抗新冠病毒的大功臣 Plus Talk 會話百分百 Duty-Free Shopping 在免稅店購物 Global 全球議題 A World-Changing Crisis 一場改變世界的危機 Topic Writing 主題式寫作 Choosing a School Club 選擇學校社團

Download or read book China s New Youth written by Alec Ash and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Paints a telling portrait of this most restless generation raised in a system that has provided them with unprecedented personal opportunities while denying them political ones. . . . A gifted observer.”—Washington Post "Informative and often humorous . . . Presents a refreshing range of perspectives about being twenty-something in China."—Forbes “Masterfully crafted.”—Los Angeles Review of Books “A perceptive and quietly profound book.”—Booklist, starred review "Compelling and beautifully written."—Prospect China’s new youth are the generation that will change China. Offspring of the one-child policy, with no memory of Tiananmen, they are destined to transform both their nation and the world. Understanding their motivations, dreams, and attitudes is possibly the most important gauge of China’s future direction as it plays an increasingly important role in shaping this century. China’s New Youth follows the lives of six young Chinese as they navigate their aspirations, discontents, politics, and love lives. Their stories include a netizen nationalist, a country migrant, the daughter of a Party member, a rising pop star, and a feminist entrepreneur. With intimate access to this diverse generation, Alec Ash—a young writer based in China since 2012—gives a vivid, immersive, fascinating account of young China as it comes of age. China's New Youth was originally published in hardcover until the title Wish Lanterns: Young Lives in New China. The new paperback edition has been updated with a new preface and afterword by the author and a new foreword by Karoline Kan.

Download or read book Child of Light written by Madison Smartt Bell and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first and definitive biography of one of the great American novelists of the postwar era, the author of Dog Soldiers and A Flag for Sunrise, and a penetrating critic of American power, innocence, and corruption Robert Stone (1937-2015), probably the only postwar American writer to draw favorable comparisons to Ernest Hemingway, Graham Greene, and Joseph Conrad, lived a life rich in adventure, achievement, and inner turmoil. He grew up rough on the streets of New York, the son of a mentally troubled single mother. After his Navy service in the fifties, which brought him to such locales as pre-Castro Havana, the Suez Crisis, and Antarctica, he studied writing at Stanford, where he met Ken Kesey and became a core member of the gang of Merry Pranksters. The publication of his superb New Orleans novel, Hall of Mirrors (1967), initiated a succession of dark-humored novels that investigated the American experience in Vietnam (Dog Soldiers, 1974, which won the National Book Award), Central America (A Flag for Sunrise, 1981), and Jerusalem on the eve of the millennium (Damascus Gate, 1998). An acclaimed novelist himself, Madison Smartt Bell was a close friend and longtime admirer of Robert Stone. His authorized and deeply researched biography is both intimate and objective, a rich and unsparing portrait of a complicated, charismatic, and haunted man and a sympathetic reading of his work that will help to secure Stone's place in the pantheon of major American writers.

Download or read book Apparitions of the Self written by Janet Gyatso and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apparitions of the Self is a groundbreaking investigation into what is known in Tibet as "secret autobiography," an exceptional, rarely studied literary genre that presents a personal exploration of intimate religious experiences. In this volume, Janet Gyatso translates and studies the outstanding pair of secret autobiographies by the famed Tibetan Buddhist visionary, Jigme Lingpa (1730-1798), whose poetic and self-conscious writings are as much about the nature of his own identity, memory, and the undecidabilities of autobiographical truth as they are narrations of the actual content of his experiences. Their translation in this book marks the first time that works of this sort have been translated in a Western language. Gyatso is among the first to consider Tibetan literature from a comparative perspective, examining the surprising fit--as well as the misfit--of Western literary theory with Tibetan autobiography. She examines the intriguing questions of why Tibetan Buddhists produced so many autobiographies (far more than other Asian Buddhists) and how autobiographical self-assertion is possible even while Buddhists believe that the self is ultimately an illusion. Also explored are Jigme Lingpa's historical milieu, his revelatory visions of the ancient Tibetan dynasty, and his meditative practices of personal cultivation. The book concludes with a study of the subversive female figure of the "Dakini" in Jigme Lingpa's writings, and the implications of her gender, her sexuality, and her unsettling discourse for the autobiographical subject in Tibet.
