Between the 1980s and the present day, China has experienced one of the most consequential economic transformations in world history. One-fifth of the Earth's population has left behind a life of scarcity and subsistence for one of abundance and material comfort, while their nation has emerged as a preeminent economic and political power. In a systematic historical and sociological analysis of this unique juncture, Wang Feng charts the origins, forces, and consequences of this meteoric ris...

Scholarship is a multi-generational collective enterprise with a commitment to advancing knowledge, inspiring reflection, and facilitating stronger neighborhoods, cities and countries. This book explicitly adopts this lens as a recognition of the contributions of Prof. Terry Cooper to scholarship and practice, and as a mechanism to connect the past to the present and ultimately the future of scholarship in public ethics and citizen engagement. This “multi-generational” approach is designed...

Green Solvents in Organic SynthesisEssential reference on replacing conventional solvents with greener alternatives in industrial chemicals synthesis and productionA well-timed book promoting sustainability in synthesis and production of chemicals, Green Solvents in Organic Synthesis details various green solvents, solvent systems, and solubilization techniques, including their chemistry, physiochemical properties, performance, and...

This book provides a systematic overview of watermarking and steganography methods for triangle meshes related to computer graphics and security. The significance of this research has been well recognized by the growing body of work on watermarking, steganography and steganalysis of 3D meshes. With the evolution of the CAD industry and real-world end-user applications such as virtual reality (VR) and 3D printing, 3D meshes have attracted world-wide attention. Besides, the flexible data str...

The Chinese economy's return to commodification and privatization has greatly diversified China's institutional landscape. With the migration of more than 140 million villagers to cities and rapid urbanization of rural settlements, it is no longer possible to presume that the nation can be divided into strictly urban or rural classifications.Creating Wealth and Poverty in Postsocialist China draws on a wide variety of recent national surveys and detailed case studies to ca...
