An engaging way for students of modern Chinese to hone their language skills while learning about contemporary ChinaSmall Things Writ Large is an intermediate textbook for Chinese language learning that illustrates not just linguistic progression but also the transformation of a nation and its people, offering readers insights into the dynamic interplay between China’s language and culture in a rapidly changing world. The book’s title, which in Chinese translates literally as “seeing the grand in the small,” reflects its unique approach to teaching Chinese, one that enables students to gain broader perspectives from observing seemingly minor phenomena. Each chapter begins with a focused point of entry—such as the laundry routines of the Chinese people, social etiquettes around handshakes and hugs, or a specific Chinese phrase—and then delves into the socioeconomic or cultural reasons behind it. Small Things Writ Large treats culture not as an entity that exists separately from language but as something inherently embedded within it. In this textbook, students will gain a deeper understanding of Chinese culture through its language.Provides a clear introduction to modern Chinese society with language that is simple and engaging for intermediate learnersFollows international students in China from their arrival to daily activities in schools, dorms, and local spotsCovers diverse topics ranging from daily lifestyle to detailed studies of language and cultural impactsIncludes vocabulary collocations, usage explanations, grammatical structures, and synonyms, ideal for both the classroom and self-studyWriting exercises are progressive and context-specific, enhancing the learning experienceCompatible with other titles in the Princeton Language Program: Modern Chinese series, encouraging consistent learning across different levels

This handbook is designed for researchers, practitioners, and anyone interested in the academic study of household sustainability. It offers a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research across three major domains: household environmental sustainability, social sustainability, and financial sustainability. Through concise summaries of influential studies and key empirical findings, the book highlights how households adapt, make decisions, and contribute to broader sustainability goals. Whether you are exploring this field for the first time or seeking an up-to-date reference, this handbook provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of household sustainability research.Households play a pivotal role in shaping the sustainability of our planet. The choices individuals and families make in their daily lives ripple outward, influencing environmental conditions, social well-being, and economic stability. Yet traditional economic models often emphasize maximizing benefits within a single unit and a single lifecycle, overlooking the needs of other households and future generations. The emerging field of household sustainability addresses this gap by examining how households make decisions that affect environmental quality, social outcomes, and financial resilience — and how they respond to interventions aimed at improving these dimensions. By recognizing the complex interactions among these three pillars, the field seeks to understand how households can enhance their current well-being without compromising the welfare of future generations. Within existing economic frameworks, household sustainability introduces two additional foundational considerations: the importance of long-term growth for descendants and the broader constraints facing human societies.
