Stars And Moon
A man with "amnesia" woke up under the cliff. A diagram of "Nine Elements Clearing the Pass". Legend has it that it can make people transcend the mortal world and become saints. This was a miraculous Deathly Night Token, and it possessed an unbelievable amount of magic. A mysterious codename, "Five of Longevity", was actually the envoy of a civilization from outer space? An ordinary librarian, because of his fanatical love for ancient martial arts, was ordered by fate to travel to the ancient continent from two thousand years ago, where he began his wonderful and beautiful legendary life: Although he was not easy to gamble with, he had defeated the owner of the gambling house consecutively. Although he was not greedy for wealth, he had always been rich; although he was not a frivolous person, he had always formed feelings of confusion and love with different kinds of beauties; he was born easygoing, he first picked up a Sect Leader to do things and later became the commander of a large army. He forgot which martial skills he had learned, but by virtue of his talent, fortune, and hard practice, he had defeated the top experts one after another ...
The Hidden Phoenix
The world is not what it was and the Empire of Rei-Een may be at an end. A child’s visions of the future include flames and the need for Lis and Remi to find each other. In the aftermath of a fight that nearly killed them both, neither have the power they once did. There are too many trying to tear them apart before they can find each other. And the greatest threat to the Empire of Rei-Een may not be magic, but the lack of it. Lis attempts to face her destiny and bring the world back to what it was, but it is far more difficult than she imagined. If she could only connect with her prince, she may find just what they need to save the Empire. The Hidden Phoenix is the final instalment in the Magics of Rei-Een series. It is filled with hidden agendas and betrayal, as Lis and Remi try to save the world they know, or die trying.
Archaeology of East Asian Shipbuilding
North American Society for Oceanic History John Lyman Book Award in Naval and Maritime Reference Works and Published Primary Sources - Honorable Mention In this innovative study, Jun Kimura integrates historical data with archaeological findings to examine a wide array of eleventh- through nineteenth-century ships from China, Korea, and Japan. Chinese junks and Japanese sailing ships were known throughout the world, and this work illustrates why their innovative designs have survived the centuries. Kimura presents an extensive dataset of excavated coastal and oceangoing ships that traveled the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea. Three detailed case studies include the Shinan and Quanzhou wrecks and the Takashima underwater site. Using travel documents, cargo manifests, iconographic paintings, and other descriptive resources, as well as the archaeological evidence of hull components, wooden timbers, and iron remains, Kimura sheds new light on East Asian shipbuilding traditions.
Mao's Generals Remember Korea
Fifty years after the Korean conflict, what is a forgotten war for some Americans is an aching memory for China. With over a million casualties out of the three million soldiers sent into battle, that war looms as large for the People's Republic of China (PRC)--barely a year old when North Korea invaded the South--as World War II does for most other countries. It was the first international war fought by the Chinese Communist regime to halt counterrevolution; it was also a war that the Chinese fully expected to win, by virtue of not only superiority of numbers but also their soldiers' superior "political quality." This book presents a mosaic of memoirs by key Chinese military commanders from...
