Controllable Synthesis and Atomic Scale Regulation of Noble Metal Catalysts
This book introduces readers to the preparation of metal nanocrystals and its applications. In this book, an important point highlighted is how to design noble metal nanocrystals at the atomic scale for energy conversion and storage. It also focuses on the controllable synthesis of water splitting electrode materials including anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and cathode hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the atomic level by defect engineering and synergistic effect. In addition, in-situ technologies and theoretical calculations are utilized to reveal the catalytic mechanisms of catalysts under realistic operating condition. The findings presented not only enrich research in the nano-field, but also support the promotion of national and international cooperation.
Soong Mayling and Wartime China, 1937-1945
Soong Mayling and Wartime China, 1937-1945: Deploying Words as Weapons focuses on the First Lady of China's timely and critical contributions in the areas of war, women's work, and diplomacy during China's War of Resistance as inflected through gender. This book explores Soong Mayling through her own words by examining her speeches, essays, letters, telegrams, and news reports during the war period. How did Madame Chiang Kai-shek's gender identity shape her interactions with other Chinese women, the male military and political leadership in the Republic of China, and the broader global public? How did Confucianism's cardinal virtues and Chinese Christianity converge in Soong Mayling's work and worldview? What were her main contributions as Secretary-General of the Chinese Air Force? Drawing on Chinese archival materials such as Chiang Kai-shek's diaries and other records around the world, Esther Hu provides a historically informed perspective of the First Lady's legacy within the context of World War II history, international cultural and military affairs, and transnational geopolitics.
Strategy, Psychology, Logistics
The art of war is an ugly art, yet it is ever more pivotal in our turbulent world as we struggle to comprehend the sheer scale of atrocities. However, people do tend to simplify the conduct of warfare to a mere contest of weaponry and wealth, and neglecting initiatives of commanders in the complicated system of warfare. Therefore we, the History Society, hope to explore this missing linkage by providing this valuable platform for studies of various aspects of warfare, from tactical doctrines to cultural impacts, thereby understanding war as an intrinsic and comprehensive phenomenon throughout human history. It is also our hope that by investigating in this perplexing topic can we acknowledge that war is not instigated to deal with the ordeals ahead only, but also a cruel portrayal of how human beings endeavour to slaughter each other by all means, and at all costs.
The Party Family
Co-winner of the Canadian Political Science Association Prize in Comparative Politics of the Canadian Political Science Association The Party Family explores the formation and consolidation of the state in revolutionary China through the crucial role that social ties—specifically family ties—played in the state's capacity to respond to crisis before and after the foundation of the People's Republic of China. Central to these ties, Kimberley Ens Manning finds, were women as both the subjects and leaders of reform. Drawing on interviews with 163 participants in the provinces of Henan and Jiangsu, as well as government documents and elite memoirs, biographies, speeches, and reports, Manning...

Visions for the Masses
This collection of Chinese shadow plays contains seven selected traditional shadow plays from the Qing and early Republican periods from Shaanxi and Shanxi. A minor operatic genre, the Chinese shadow theatre provides one of the best avenues for examining the mentality and sense of humor of the silent masses. Although Shaanxi sports the largest number of shadow traditions in China and is where the art form is most vibrant, its shadow plays have never before been published in either Chinese or English. Translated from rare hand-copied play scripts, this volume includes the most literary and refined plays of the genre as well as coarser popular plays and farcical Post-midnight skits. It also features a survey of the state of the shadow theatre in contemporary China, extensive critical introductions and bibliography.
