Download or read book Mandarins and Merchants After Tiananmen written by Margaret Dickeman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2003-12-12 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even as late as 1989, most young Chinese professionals believed they could predict their entire future lives. But when the Chinese government followed the Tiananmen killings with vigorous promotion of free enterprise, the rules began to change daily. The security of assigned jobs free housing and other benefits dwindled or disappeared as more initiative to get rich was encouraged. This account, based on personal observations during the two years after Tiananmen, follows a number of young Chinese as they struggle to invent individual strategies for coping with changes they could never have predicted. The images and character sketches are forceful and succinct, and evoke a person, place or mood with apparent fidelity. --Jonathan Spence Margaret Dickeman Datz makes the people, places and culture of China come alive better than any China book Ive read. Her book is a true human drama. --Arnold Hano

Download or read book The Beer Diet A Brew Story written by Evo Terra and published by ShEvo Studios. This book was released on 2013-11-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Forget every diet you’ve ever considered, because this one is the best one ever!” – Shepard Smith, Fox News Anchor My diet can beat up your diet. I’m not kidding. After one month of nothing but beer and sausage, I lost 14 pounds and cut my cholesterol in half. I did it without powders or pills, without blending food into sludge, and without getting divorced. I did it by drinking carb-loaded, gluten-filled, and alcohol-containing quality craft beer. I did it by eating fat-filled, chemically-injected, and highly-processed meat tubes of glorious sausage. And all under a doctor’s supervision. Why did something that should be bad turn out to be so good? Here’s the nasty truth about fad diets: The science behind them is questionable, if not pure crap. But that doesn’t stop popular opinion, the news media, or quasi-celebrities from climbing on board the latest trend. As a result, an entire generation has been conditioned to think this food is good for you and that food is bad for you. It may make for an interesting talk show, but your stomach and a few billion years of evolution aren’t watching. Like all living creatures, our bodies are designed to break down food into proteins, amino acids, and trace minerals — and use them. We get into trouble when we overload that system, shoving more food down the pipe than the system can handle. My doctor and I started with the proposition that, in moderation, you could eat just about anything and lose weight. We were right, but we made some unexpected discoveries along the way. Follow along as patient and physician walk you through this tasty — and a little buzzy — month-long journey to better health. “My new hero!” – Shmonty, 93.3 KDKB Morning Show Host
