A Story of Two Mothers

In The Long March, Sun Shuyun uncovers the true story behind the mythic march of Mao's soldiers across China, exposing the famine, disease, and desertion behind the legend.In 1934, in the midst of civil war, the Communist party and its 200,000 soldiers were forced from their bases by Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalist troops. Led by Mao Tse Tung, they set off on a strategic retreat to the barren north of China, thousands of miles away. As Sun Shuyun travels along the march route, her interviews with survivors and villagers show that the forces at work during the days of the revolution &#8211; poverty, sickness, and Mao's use of terror, propaganda, and ruthless purges &#8211; have shaped modern China irrevocably. Uncovering the forced recruitment, political infighting, and futile deaths behind the myth, Shuyun creates a compelling narrative of a turning point in modern Chinese history, and a fascinating journey that spans China, old and new.&#8220;An account that shows the human cost of Mao's revisionism.&#8221; &#8212;The New Yorker"Sun's history quietly stands the official Long March on its head." &#8212;The Christian Science Monitor&#8220;An affecting and insightful book, one that illuminates not only China's recent past but also manages to throw some light on its equally murky present.&#8221; &#8212;Pankaj Mishra, The Spectator

The essays in Andrew Burn and Chris Richards’s volume, Children’s Games in the New Media Age: Childlore, Media and the Playground, are concerned on the whole with the ways that popular media references move across what they call traditional playground games. In addition to arguing that relationships between media and play are complex, they demonstrate that traditional games are far more robust than often acknowledged. - Jennesia Pedri, Jeunesse

‘Focusing on South Asia along with China and a few other countries, this book adopts an ingenious approach to agricultural innovation, almost reminiscent of the pioneering Ester Boserup's work, and the national innovation system from Nathan Rosenberg's early writings. The two editors have done a beautiful editorial job. The book should be a requisite reading for all scholars in this discipline.’ —Donghyu Yang, Professor Emeritus, Seoul National University, South Korea‘National Innovation Systems for Agriculture in Asia; Towards Inclusive Rural Development, provides reasons why the research, technology and innovation extension systems in developed countries are not applicable to the models for inclusive and sustainable agricultural development in developing countries. It presents the theoretical and empirical studies of alternative thinking to achieve inclusive and sustainable agricultural development and public policy among developing countries. They cover a wide range of issues including the importance of education, technical skills and human capital, interactive learning in R&D, harnessing ICTs, and institutional innovation in India. This book, in its breadth and depth, makes a major contribution to arguing what is essential for agriculture innovation system in Asia.’ —Ryuhei Wakasugi, Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University and President, University of Niigata Prefecture, Japan‘The volume consists of fifteen chapters and a brilliant introduction by the editors. Their interdisciplinary and diverse perspective increase the richness of the volume. The volume focuses on issues related to innovations, institutions, social capital, coordination, sustainability and inclusive rural transformation in the context of livelihood issues. I am sure that the volume will be very useful for researchers, faculty and policy makers in the Indian sub-continent.’ —Kiran Pandya, Professor, Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Surat, India

Sensitive cases illustrate the theory and make it more accessible for clinicians.

Strozier, PhD., Author, Heinz Kohut: The Making of a Psychoanalyst

Readers will find in this book accessible theoretical explanations, which are illustrated by excellent clinical examples.Thisis a must read for clinicians interested in this innovative approach to clinical work." --Joyce Slochower, Ph.D., ABPP, Professor Emerita, Hunter College & CUNY; Faculty NYU Steven Mitchell Center; Author, Holding and Psychoanalysis: A Relational Perspective & Psychoanalytic Collisions

'This is a very timely book. It thoroughly explores, from various perspectives, the discretionary power of interpreters working in the public sector. It explains the difference between personal and professional principles, gives the foundation of professional ethics in the literature on moral philosophy, and explores the relation between philosophical issues and the practice of interpreting. This book is a must-read for everyone interested in the professionalization of public service interpreters.' 

Cecilia Wadensjö, Stockholm University, Sweden

　
'Interpreters working in public institutions are often confronted by ethical challenges, to which they must respond adequately - and instantly! This study takes readers into the deeper foundations of ethical practice in interpreting, and makes a landmark contribution through acute philosophical analysis, relevant case studies, and well-argued professional perspectives.'
