Numerical Methods for Roots of Polynomials - Part II
The zeros of a polynomial can be readily recovered from its linear factors. The linear factors can be approximated by first splitting a polynomial numerically into the product of its two nonconstant factors and then recursively splitting every computed nonlinear factor in similar fashion. For both the worst and average case inputs the resulting algorithms solve the polynomial factorization and root-finding problems within fixed sufficiently small error bounds by using nearly optimal arithmetic and Boolean time, that is using nearly optimal numbers of arithmetic and bitwise operations; in the case of a polynomial with integer coefficients and simple roots we can immediately extend factorizati...
The Taoist Canon
Taoism remains the only major religion whose canonical texts have not been systematically arranged and made available for study. This long-awaited work, a milestone in Chinese studies, catalogs and describes all existing texts within the Taoist canon. The result will not only make the entire range of existing Taoist texts accessible to scholars of religion, it will open up a crucial resource in the study of the history of China. The vast literature of the Taoist canon, or Daozang, survives in a Ming Dynasty edition of some fifteen hundred different texts. Compiled under imperial auspices and completed in 1445—with a supplement added in 1607—many of the books in the Daozang concern the hi...
Gods of Mount Tai
At the intersection of art and religious history, this work suggests a fresh method for studying Chinese gods and sacred places. Susan Naquin tells the full story of the transformations of the Lady of Mount Tai, North China’s most important female deity, and her mountain home. This generously illustrated visual history presents a rich array of overlooked statues, prints, murals, and paintings of gods that were discovered in museums, auctions, and extensive travel. By focusing on ordinary images, temples, and region-based materiality Naquin demonstrates how this flexibly gendered new god flourished while her male predecessor was neglected. Both suffered greatly during the last century, but Mount Tai continues to be a culturally significant monument and China’s most popular tourist mountain. Winner of the 2024 Levenson Prize (Pre-1900) awarded by the Association for Asian Studies. https://www.asianstudies.org/aas-2024-prizes/

What Remains
The Taiping Rebellion was one of the costliest civil wars in human history. Many millions of people lost their lives. Yet while the Rebellion has been intensely studied by scholars in China and elsewhere, we still know little of how individuals coped with these cataclysmic events. Drawing upon a rich array of primary sources, What Remains explores the issues that preoccupied Chinese and Western survivors. Individuals, families, and communities grappled with fundamental questions of loyalty and loss as they struggled to rebuild shattered cities, bury the dead, and make sense of the horrors that they had witnessed. Driven by compelling accounts of raw emotion and deep injury, What Remains opens a window to a world described by survivors themselves. This book transforms our understanding of China's 19th century and recontextualizes suffering and loss in China during the 20th century.
