How China became the China we know today, through war and societal transformation.China entered the 20th century as an agrarian society, weakened under internal and external pressures. Revolutionaries came together to bring down the last imperial dynasty but quickly split over the direction of reconstruction. Civil wars ensued, followed by WWI. The fate of the country appeared to be in the hands of industrial powers like Britain, Germany, Japan, the Soviet Union, and the United States. All seemed lost when Japan seized all Chinese seaports, railways, industries, and fertile farmland. Yet Chinese resistance continued for eight years and the entire society was mobilized. After decades of struggling, China finally regained independence that laid the foundation for its own modernization.

An Introduction to Interdisciplinary Toxicology: From Molecules to Man integrates the various aspects of toxicology, from "simple� molecular systems, to complex human communities, with expertise from a spectrum of interacting disciplines. Chapters are written by specialists within a given subject, such as a chemical engineer, nutritional scientist, or a microbiologist, so subjects are clearly explained and discussed within the toxicology context. Many chapters are comparative across species so that students in ecotoxicology learn mammalian toxicology and vice versa. Specific citations, further reading, study questions, and other learning features are also included.
The book allows students to concurrently learn concepts in both biomedical and environmental toxicology fields, thus better equipping them for the many career opportunities toxicology provides. This book will also be useful to those wishing to reference how disciplines interact within the broad field of toxicology.
Covers major topics and newer areas in toxicology, including nanotoxicology, Tox21, epigenetic toxicology, and organ-specific toxicity Includes a variety of perspectives to give a complete understanding of toxicology Written by specialists within each subject area, e.g., a chemical engineer, to ensure concepts are clearly explained

This book analyses the drivers of specific common pool resource problems, particularly in fisheries and forestry, examining the way in which private and public regulation have intervened to fight the common pool resource problem by contributing to the establishment and maintenance of property rights. It focuses on the various forms of regulation that have been put in place to protect fisheries and forestry over the past decades – both from a theoretical as well as from a policy perspective – comparing the concrete interaction of legal and policy instruments in eight separate jurisdictions.

This book offers a different understanding of nature by investigating the concept of ziran 自然 in the early Daoist texts that lay a metaphysical foundation for Daoism, Daoist environmentalism and ecofeminism.Revealing the Daoist ziran as a peaceful and harmonious way of living and its revelation and inspiration of this profound wisdom for mankind who are now deep in the modern crisis, the book examines the concept of ziran in early Daoist texts from a comparative perspective. It elaborates the meaning of Daoist ziran from the dimensions of Dao, things, and humans, covering important philosophical topics such as being and nonbeing, the spontaneity or nature of things and freedom. Drawing on extensive resources, from pre-Socratic philosophers, Plato, Kant, Heidegger, environmentalism, feminism and Daoism, it explores Daoist ziran and promotes comparative philosophy at both theoretical and practical levels.As an original analysis of the relationship between humans and nature, this book will be a valuable resource for international scholars and researchers in Daoism, Asian philosophy, comparative philosophy, environmentalism, ecofeminism, and those interested in the topic of nature.

In an era marked by economic uncertainty and rising living costs, the need for compassionate and effective personal insolvency systems has never been more urgent. This edited volume offers a timely and incisive exploration of the complexities of personal insolvency regimes.Drawing on insights from the UK, the US, Europe, Japan and China, the book examines how diverse legal systems negotiate the tensions between debt relief and moral hazard, creditor protection and social equity, and market efficiency and human dignity. It compares the effectiveness of neoliberal models, middle-ground approaches, and state-led systems, offering assessments of their respective strengths and limitations.The analysis moves beyond theory, grounding its arguments in real-world examples, while advancing the case for a robust, standalone personal insolvency framework in China. By synthesising global experience with local experimentation, the volume demonstrates how such a framework could strengthen economic resilience, uphold human dignity, and bring China’s system into closer alignment with international standards.Ideal for scholars, policymakers and practitioners alike, this book bridges academic rigour and practical relevance, inviting readers to reconsider insolvency not merely as a mechanism of last resort, but as an instrument of financial rehabilitation and social inclusion.

This book introduces the linkage between evolutionary computation and complex networks and the advantages of cross-fertilising ideas from both fields. Instead of introducing each field individually, the authors focus on the research that sits at the interface of both fields. The book is structured to address two questions: (1) how complex networks are used to analyze and improve the performance of evolutionary computation methods? (2) how evolutionary computation methods are used to solve problems in complex networks? The authors interweave complex networks and evolutionary computing, using evolutionary computation to discover community structure, while also using network analysis techniques to analyze the performance of evolutionary algorithms. The book is suitable for both beginners and senior researchers in the fields of evolutionary computation and complex networks.

This book explores and interprets discourses and practices in school admissions to public lower secondary education in urban China by utilizing a discourse analysis approach and a case study method. It identifies continuities and changes in discourses shaped by diverse forces in public lower secondary school admissions in the context of China’s social transformation from a profit-driven society to a more equitable society, and elucidates the power relationships among stakeholders in public school admissions by analysing their interplay in the process. More importantly, it exposes how current socio-economic, institutional and educational systems are shaping the engagement of stakeholders in the public school admissions process. It also presents some on-going projects intended to yield new policies and practices for more equitable public secondary education in China in the development stage of the post-2015.
