Opening a new window into Chinese intellectual discourse, this unique book is a critical engagement with the issues, problems, and meanings of contemporary Chinese intellectual thought. As key participants in these debates who have exercised a significant influence on the development of contemporary Chinese thought, the volume's contributors explore concerns over the role of the intellectual and the outcomes of knowledge production in the humanities. Masterfully translated, these essays pr...

Apocalyptic predictions that AI will eliminate millions of jobs have caused widespread fear. When people hear that AI can write, code, and diagnose, they often jump to a scary conclusion: If machines can think, human work is doomed. Messy Jobs argues that this gloomy belief gets the economics of work wrong.Economists Luis Garicano, Jin Li, and Yanhui Wu offer a new framework for thinking about AI and work. They show why some roles will disappear, why others will be reshape...

The Northern and Southern Jin Dynasties: A History of China, PART ONE, sweeps you into the rise and collapse of empires—an era where ambition ruled, loyalties splintered, and survival became a craft honed by blood and wit. I wrote this book to resurrect those chaotic years: the founding of the Western Jin under Sima Yan; the lethal politicking of Empress Jia Nanfeng; and the War of the Eight Princes, which turned royal lineage into a battlefield. Every page is peopled with...

The Westphalian model of international relations has given us a zero-sum game of winners and losers that has proven to be ineffective in addressing the pressing issues of our times. Philosopher Zhao Tingyang has argued that by conceptualizing international relations from the planetary perspective of tianxia, we can develop a sense of “worldness” that at once acknowledges the plurality of moral ideals defining of the world’s cultures and seeks practical ways to formulate a shared m...

The Northern and Southern Jin Dynasties: A History of China, PART TWO, takes you through three centuries of chaos, courage, and ambition — when China was torn apart yet never stopped searching for unity. As the author, I wanted to write this not as a list of kings and battles, but as a living story of people — men and women who risked everything to build or break empires. From the fall of the Jin to the rise of the Sui, every page is alive with power struggles, revenge, an...

The Jin Dynasty: A History of China, PART TWO, carries you into one of China's most turbulent centuries — an age of brilliance, betrayal, and survival. It begins with the rise of a fierce northern people, the Jurchens, who carved out a vast realm across northern China and into the Central Plains. From the triumphs of their founder to the chaos that would one day undo them, this book brings their story vividly to life — in all its fire and heartbreak.At the center o...

This book’s purpose and characteristics are not only to introduce the fundamental theoretical knowledge of nuclear radiation detection principles, detector preparation, and detection signal generation, but also provides a comprehensive introduction of the design, optimization, and preparation of semiconductor nuclear radiation detection. Beginning with the current materials and device processes of wide band gap semiconductors, the book focuses on the challenges and essential technologies o...

The Jin Dynasty: A History of China, PART ONE, plunges you into the rise of a once-forgotten empire — born in the cold, wind-whipped forests of the northeast and forged by the fierce spirit of the Jurchen people. You will meet their earliest ancestors: hunters, clan chiefs, and roaming warriors who lived by courage and quick wits. From the semi-legendary figure of Hanpu — who, in tradition, is credited with laying down early customs and rules — to the bold stratagems of Wu...

This book focuses on cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), currently the most promising wireless communication technology for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P), Vehicle-to-Network (V2N) and Vehicle-to-Cloud (V2C) communications. Because of its low latency and high reliability, C-V2X has become an essential enabling technology for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) and autonomous driving.This book begins by introducing re...

This book gives comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals, methods and applications of GNSS-Reflectometry (GNSS-R), including GNSS-R history, GNSS reflection signal characteristics, ground-based GNSS multipath reflectometry, interference pattern technology, delay Doppler map, space-based GNSS-R theory, ocean altimetry, hydrological remote sensing, vegetation monitoring and cryosphere remote sensing, etc. It well presents the current status and the latest application progress in this f...

Probing and controlling electrons and nuclei in matter at the attosecond timescale became possible with the generation of attosecond pulses by few-cycle intense lasers, and has revolutionized our understanding of atomic structure and molecular processes. This book provides an intuitive approach to this emerging field, utilizing simplified models to develop a clear understanding of how matter interacts with attosecond pulses of light. An introductory chapter outlines the structure of atoms ...
