The New York Times bestseller, Financial Times and Sunday Times Book of the YearShortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the YearThe book we need to understand China today: a riveting, first-hand account of its seismic progress from an indispensable expert voice For close to a decade, Dan Wang has been observing China’s tumultuous and astounding growth. The state has constructed towering bridges, gleaming railways and sprawling factories to improve economic outcomes in record time. But rapid change has also sent ripples of pain throughout society.China has grown so quickly in part by beating America at its own game: capitalism and harnessing the restless energy of a vast population. Here Wang blends political and economic analysis with reportage into a provocative new framework for understanding China – one that helps us see America more clearly, too. Whereas China is an engineering state, relentlessly building big, the United States has transformed into a lawyerly society, stalling every attempt to make change, both good and bad.As relations between the US and China are tense and uncertain and the potential for dreadful conflict looms, Wang offers an inventive new way of thinking about the two superpowers. Breakneck reveals that each country points towards a better path for the other. How much better the world would be, he argues, if Americans could live in a society not only governed by lawyers, and Chinese citizens could live with a state that values their individual liberties.‘An illuminating account of China’s dizzying rise and its deepening pathologies’ Chris Miller 'One of the best books published on China this year' The Times

For close to a decade, technology analyst Dan Wang—“a gifted observer of contemporary China” (Ross Douthat)—has been living through the country’s astonishing, messy progress. China’s towering bridges, gleaming railways, and sprawling factories have improved economic outcomes in record time. But rapid change has also sent ripples of pain throughout the society. This reality—political repression and astonishing growth—is not a paradox, but rather a feature of China’s engineering mindset.In Breakneck, Wang blends political, economic, and philosophical analysis with reportage to reveal a provocative new framework for understanding China—one that helps us see America more clearly, too. While China is an engineering state, relentlessly pursuing megaprojects, the United States has stalled. America has transformed into a lawyerly society, reflexively blocking everything, good and badBlending razor-sharp analysis with immersive storytelling, Wang offers a gripping portrait of a nation in flux. Breakneck traverses metropolises like Shanghai, Chongqing, and Shenzhen, where the engineering state has created not only dazzling infrastructure but also a sense of optimism. The book also exposes the downsides of social engineering, including the surveillance of ethnic minorities, political suppression, and the traumas of the one-child policy and zero-Covid.In an era of animosity and mistrust, Wang unmasks the shocking similarities between the United States and China. Breakneck reveals how each country points toward a better path for the other: Chinese citizens would be better off if their government could learn to value individual liberties, while Americans would be better off if their government could learn to embrace engineering—and to produce better outcomes for the many, not just the few.

A new theory of personhood makes the case that a “person” has always been an aesthetic category, not just a legal, political, or moral one. What does it mean to be a person? One might think of the possession of certain rights, having the capacity for love, or being self-determined. But if words like “person” or “love” seem to carry an internal meaning, where does this meaningfulness come from? Lyric Personhood contends that to be encultured in the modern West is to learn, on top of everything else, an unspoken and mostly felt sense of what it means to be someone, a sense transmitted not only in language but also through encounters with aesthetic form. Through close readings that span nineteenth-century European opera, commercial cinema, and amateur YouTube proposal videos, Dan Wang shows that a “person” has become an aesthetic concept—and not just a legal, moral, political, or philosophical one—in the last two hundred years of Western culture.It’s hard to let go of the organizing promise of romantic love, the dream of therapeutic “health,” and the aspiration to belong to national culture, Wang argues, because these longings have been shaped by an archive of sentimental and melodramatic works that trains people's expectations for life, genre, and even the knowing promised in theory itself. Tracing a surprisingly continuous imagination of personhood through opera and film aesthetics, Lyric Personhood introduces modes of reading audiovisual works that allow a longer story to be told about the forms that make personhood sensible in the West.

The educational system in China is marked by its dramatic inequality between rural and urban schools. The challenges facing rural schools are usually understood as disadvantages in funding, facilities, and staffing, which consequently result in undesirable student performance in general. This book, however, penetrates these phenomena on the surface and brings forth a much deeper moral crisis in rural education, a crisis that is entrenched in the complicated interlocking of formal and informal institutions within and beyond the school. The Demoralization of Teachers describes the work and workplace in a rural school from the perspective of teachers who were working there. It faithfully depicts the lamentable state of teachers’ work morale in the school and, little by little as if a detective story, reveals the reasons for the teachers’ demoralization by vivid narratives. The book demonstrates the profound impact on the meanings of teaching exerted by the state curriculum reform, the formal and informal norms and regulations in the school, and the erosion of moral integrity in the state bureaucracy and the society at large. The crisis in the rural school stops to be a “rural” or educational problem in nature, but mirrors the societal-wide transformation in political economy as well as in ideology in the current reform China. The sheer complexity of the moral crisis in this ethnography calls for renewed efforts to identify and investigate the educational problems in rural China from fresh theoretical perspectives that situate rural education in broader historical and social contexts and processes.

Una mirada incisiva al ascenso industrial y tecnologico de ChinaDurante casi una década, Dan Wang ha observado el crecimiento tumultuoso de China. El Estado ha levantado puentes colosales, redes ferroviarias modernas y vastas fábricas en tiempo récord para impulsar la economía, aunque ese cambio acelerado también ha tenido un alto coste social.China ha crecido tan rápido, en parte, al imponerse a Estados Unidos en su propio terreno: el capitalismo y la movilización de una población inmensa. En A toda máquina, Wang combina el análisis político y económico con el reportaje y propone un marco provocador para entender China que, al mismo tiempo, arroja nueva luz sobre Estados Unidos: un Estado de ingenieros volcado en construir frente a una sociedad dominada por abogados que bloquea el cambio.En un contexto de relaciones tensas e inciertas entre ambas potencias, A toda máquina ofrece una nueva forma de pensar China y Estados Unidos, y muestra cómo cada uno señala un camino mejor para el otro.

This book provides a comprehensive visual reference for the diagnosis of tumors using ultrasound imaging, with a focus on enhancing readers’ diagnostic accuracy and clinical interpretation skills. It presents a wide range of high-quality tumor cases from various anatomical regions, including the breast and thyroid. Each case includes four ultrasound image types—original, AI-enhanced, segmented, and color-modified—offering a multi-dimensional view that supports clear differentiation between benign and malignant features.The book guides readers in interpreting tumor morphology by pairing imaging with detailed pathological findings through carefully selected examples, particularly of breast tumors. This perspective deepens understanding of the correlation between ultrasound characteristics and diagnostic outcomes. Designed for clinicians, radiologists, sonographers, and medical trainees, the book also introduces AI-assisted imaging as a practical tool for tumor evaluation. By integrating advanced visualization techniques with expert analysis, this resource supports clinical decision-making and contributes to the development of precision imaging in tumor diagnostics.
