"Higher education finance is a classic research topic in the economics of education. The book makes a systematic and in-depth exploration on the future of China's higher education finance in the "post-4%" era, which presents the latest research progress of Chinese scholars in relevant fields and shares China's efforts to provide adequate and equitable financial support for the sustainable development of higher education. It is for sure that international colleagues in the economics of education can have a new understanding of China's higher education fiscal policy and practice through this book."

Weifang Min, Former Dean of Graduate School of Education at Peking University, China

"Great academic work should be based on theory and practice, and combine methods and policies. This book is the most distinctive one I have seen in higher education finance in recent years. On the one hand, the book carefully combs the relevant theories of higher education finance, as well as China's practical experience in higher education finance, and systematically shows the achievements and challenges of China's higher education finance. On the other hand, this book summarizes the major econometric forecasting methods applying on the forecast of the scale and allocation structure of financial investment in Chinese higher education. Meanwhile, the book not only gives the adjustment coefficient of average student financial allocation in colleges and universities based on the different characteristics of cultivation cost per student but also creatively puts forward the allocation standard of average teacher research funds in different disciplines. It can be foreseen that the publication of the book will make an important contribution to promoting the internationalization of Chinese research on higher education finance."

Xibin Jin, Beijing Normal University, China

"Public universities are the main body of China's higher education, government financial funds are the main revenue source of Chinese public universities, so the scale and allocation of government financial funds are closely related to the development of each public university in China. The book is a meaningful attempt and exploration of Chinese scholars in this respect, covering the critical issues in higher education finance. This book will be of reference value for university administrators and higher education policymakers in China and many other countries."

Praise for A Wicked Conceit"Huber provides plenty of depth and detail about social conditions and mores in 19th-century Edinburgh, but the human relationships are the heart of the story. Historical fans will be well satisfied.&rdquo;--Publishers Weekly&ldquo;A mystery both complex and romantic&rdquo;--KirkusPraise for the Lady Darby Mysteries"A missing heir, an estranged family, and a possible poisoner add up to a pretty puzzle for two far-from-disinterested sleuths....Huber draws on the beauties and dangers of the mysterious moorlands to provide a fitting setting for a knotty mystery filled with envy, greed, and thwarted love."--Kirkus Reviews&#160;"Riveting...An original premise, an enigmatic heroine, and a compelling Highland setting."--Deanna Raybourn,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author"[A] history mystery in fine Victorian style!"--Julia Spencer-Fleming,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author"[A] fascinating heroine...A thoroughly enjoyable read!"--Victoria Thompson, national bestselling author"Huber's debut...reads like a cross between a gothic novel and a mystery with a decidedly unusual heroine."--Kirkus Reviews"Set largely in Scotland in 1830, Huber's well-done sequel to 2012's The Anatomist's Wife includes all the ingredients of a romantic suspense novel, starting with a proud and independent heroine...Strong and lively characters as well as believable family dynamics, however, elevate this above stock genre fare."--Publishers Weekly

The charm of this amusing beginning-reader book is that just when the plot seems entirely predictable, the turn of a page surprises readers with a wacky left turn in the story, even while remaining true to the characters. Created with watercolor, pencil, and collage, the illustrations express varied emotions, maintaining a buoyant tone overall. Kudos to Howe and Gay for the seventh satisfying entry in the dependable Houndsley and Catina series.&#8212;Booklist (starred review)Themes of kindness, adapting to sudden change, and pursuing personal growth make this early reader a touchpoint for conversations. Even with these opportunities for dynamic discussion, the plot's drama and stress are resolved in a quick and satisfying manner. A table of contents will make this outing feel like a chapter book, readers gaining confidence. Gentle existentialism for emergent readers.&#8212;Kirkus ReviewsThe watercolor, pencil, and collage illustrations are gentle and expressive, and the text is just right for readers transitioning into beginning chapter books. A good choice for early reader collections that works equally well as part of the series or as a standalone.&#8212;School Library Journal

If you don't know the Ancillary series by now, you probably should. Ann Leckie's sociopolitical space opera almost singlehandedly breathed new cool into the stereotype of spaceships trundling through far-off systems amid laser battles. ... [ANCILLARY MERCY] earns the credit it's received: As a capstone to a series that shook genre expectations, as our closing installment of an immersively realized world, and as the poignant story of a ship that learned to sing.

The term page-turner gets tossed around a lot, but All Thirteen is the real deal. Even if you think you know this story, you won&#8217;t be able to stop reading.&#8212;Steve Sheinkin, award-winning author of Bomb and UndefeatedAll Thirteen is one of the best middle-grade nonfiction books that I have ever read. Even though I knew how this story was going to end, I found myself captivated from beginning to end. Christina Soontornvat did a marvelous job bringing this inspiring rescue to young readers.&#8212;Colby Sharp, cofounder of Nerdy Book ClubA nonfiction marvel.&#8212;Minh L&ecirc;, award-winning author of Drawn TogetherSoontornvat selects details and measures her pacing with the practiced hand of a master storyteller, and while everything is supported by meticulous research, the prose never suffers from information density; rather, every aside&#8212;whether on hypothermia, ketamine, or Navy SEAL training&#8212;adds tension through understanding. Readers who already know the outcome will nonetheless be enthralled by this singular tale that captures the importance of STEM education, the beauty of Thailand, and the best of humanity&#8212;collaboration, innovation, sacrifice, family, and love.&#8212;Booklist (starred review)In lucid prose written in third-person-present tense for a heightened sense of immediacy, Soontornvat gives readers a journalistic account of the difficulty and complexity of the rescue effort. Using interviews and other primary sources, she keeps a tight focus on the unfolding story, with its inherent edge-of-your-seat, heart-in-your-throat drama, adroitly juggling a parade of characters, clearly laying out the technical and engineering challenges, and judiciously parsing out expository information in the occasional sidebar.&#8212;The Horn Book (starred review)An in-depth account of a harrowing real-life mission that succeeds against all odds...Masterful storytelling fleshes out the complex human emotions behind key decisions, illuminates diplomatic and political negotiations, and underscores an unwavering faith&#8212;in maintaining hope and in harnessing powers of the mind. Thoughtfully researched, expertly crafted.&#8212;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Soontornvat&#8217;s narrative nonfiction account shares these events and those that led to the rescue along with intricate details about caverns, sump diving, and other scientific details that emphasize the harrowing conditions of the rescue. She also touches on Thai culture, immigration issues, Buddhism, and religion...This stellar nonfiction work reads like a heart-pounding adventure story. Every library should have a copy.&#8212;School Library Journal (starred review)Soontornvat masterfully chronicles this amazing undertaking, in which incredible ad hoc feats of engineering became commonplace. Her narration and the testimonies of the numerous figures she interviewed are suspenseful and deeply felt. Interspersed with All Thirteen&#8217;s gripping account are fascinating, accessible analyses &#8211; supplemented by photos, diagrams, maps and more &#8211; of the cultural, technological, scientific and spiritual considerations that affected the rescue effort, from Buddhism to climate change to political protocol...All Thirteen is an inspiring testament to those 18 fateful days of communal empathy, determination and hope. In Soontornvat&#8217;s talented hands, it&#8217;s at once a nail-biter and a revelation: &#8220;This rescue was impossible, and they did it anyway.&#8221;&#8212;BookPage (starred review)In her nonfiction debut, Soontornvat (Simon at the Art Museum) presents a well-researched, comprehensive look at the 2018 rescue of the Wild Boars juvenile soccer team from Thailand&#8217;s flooded Tham Luang Nang Non cave...Soontornvat delivers humanizing coverage of a harrowing event, attempting to decenter Western media&#8217;s lens with great success. Back matter includes an author&#8217;s note and a bibliography&#8212;Publishers Weekly Online (starred review)Soontornvat&#8217;s narrative moves smoothly between those stranded deep within the cave (which eventually included four rescuers who chose to stay with them), local and national officials whose competence and reputation were at stake, and diverse teams of recruits and volunteers, whose energy and goodwill sometimes exceeded their effectiveness...Most spreads feature at least one color photograph or a schematic of a cave or recovery system; well-placed insets add cultural and scientific notes. An author note remarks on Soontornvat&#8217;s research and personal experiences, and annotated source notes, a bibliography, and index will also be provided.&#8212;Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
