Spider Eaters
Author: Rae YangPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520276027
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
"Fifteen years after its first publication, Spider Eaters remains my go-to memoir about coming of age during the Mao years. Rae Yang's work is notable for its reflectiveness, complexity, psychological insight, and unflinching honesty. I commend this riveting work to a generation of readers for whom the cultural Revolution is now of 'merely' historical interest."—Gail Hershatter, University of California, Santa Cruz "By oscillating between scenes that are bland in their matter-of-fact concreteness and ones that are almost unbelievable in their nightmarish cruelty and complexity, Rae Yang skillfully evokes the bizarre and contradictory 'revolutionary' world in which she grew up in Mao's China. Spider Eaters is a reminder of what a traumatic history the Chinese people have undergone this century and that a country's past—even when many would rather forget it—always lives irrevocably on within those who experienced it."—Orville Schell, author of Mandate of Heaven "How can we expect anyone to know the United States without understanding the effect the Sixties had on all of us? Similarly, how can we know China without comprehending the impact the Sixties and the Cultural Revolution had on its politics, culture, and people? Rae Yang's Spider Eaters goes far in building that understanding. It is a gripping memoir."—Lisa See, author of On Gold Mountain

Book Description
With its lighthearted approach out of the mouths of babes (literally!), this book offers an alternative to the many parenting tomes that are impossible for sleep-deprived readers to get through. As new mothers, the authors read many parenting books and were dismayed at the amount of advice that was not only intimidating, but downright dangerous. It became their mission to compile a book of easily accessible tips for new parents and caregivers with baby's safety as a priority. Organized into categories not months (since no baby develops at the same rate, making nervous parents even more anxious!) topics include: the birth, diapering, breastfeeding, bottle-feeding and solids, burping, bath time, bedtime, walking, teething, taking care of parents, emotional development, general safety, kitchen safety, vaccines and playground safety.

China in and beyond the Headlines
Author: Timothy B. WestonPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 1442209062
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
In the third volume of this popular series, leading experts provide fascinating and unexpected insights into critical issues of culture, economy, politics, and society in today's China. This world, outside the reach of state control and either misunderstood or unreported in Western media, gains clarity and dimension from the fresh insights of a prominent group of activists, investigative journalists, lawyers, scholars, and travelers, who share a common interest in lessening the profound information gap between China and the rest of the world. In sixteen new essays, they address such key topics as civil society, consumerism, environmental adversity, ethnic tension, the Internet, legal reform, new media and social networking, nationalist tourism, sex and popular culture, as well the costs of urban gigantism to portray the complexity of life in contemporary China—and how, increasingly, it speaks to the everyday experience of Americans. Contributions by: David Bandurski, Susan D. Blum, Timothy Cheek, Gady Epstein, Andrew S. Erickson, Lionel M. Jensen, John Kamm, Wenquing Kang, Katherine Palmer Kaup, Travis Klingberg, Orion A. Lewis, Benjamin L. Liebman, Jonathan S. Noble, Tim Oakes, Jessica C. Teets, Alex L. Wang, and Timothy B. Weston.
