Cambridge Studies in the History of the People’s Republic of China: Marriage, Law, and Gender in Revolutionary China, 1940–1960
by Xiaoping CongXiaoping Cong examines the social and cultural significance of Chinese revolutionary legal practice in the construction of marriage and gender relations. Her book is an empirically rich investigation of the ways in which a 1943 legal dispute over an arranged marriage in a Chinese village became a legal, political and cultural exemplar on the national stage. This conceptually groundbreaking study revisits the Chinese Revolution and its impact on women and society by presenting a Chinese experience that cannot and should not be theorized in the framework of Western discourse. Taking a cultural historical perspective, Cong shows how the Chinese Revolution and its legal practices produced new discourses, neologisms and cultural symbols that contained China's experience in twentieth-century social movements, and how revolutionary practice was sublimated into the concept of 'self-determination', an idea that bridged local experiences with the tendency of the twentieth-century world, and that is a revolutionary legacy for China today.
Camel Crazy: A Quest for Miracles in the Mysterious World of Camels
by Christina AdamsIn this page-turning odyssey, a mother on a mission travels the globe — from Bedouin camps in the Middle East to Amish farms in Pennsylvania to camel-herder villages in India — to obtain camel milk, which dramatically helps her son’s autism symptoms. Chronicling bureaucratic roadblocks, adventure-filled detours, and Christina Adams’s love-fueled determination, Camel Crazy explores why camels are cherished as family members and hailed as healers. Adams’s work uncovers studies of camel milk for possible treatment of autism, allergies, diabetes, and immune dysfunction, as well as ancient traditions of healing. But the most fascinating aspect of Adams’s discoveries is the gentle-eyed, mischievous camels themselves. Huge and often unpredictable, they are amazingly intelligent and adaptable. This moving and rollicking ode to “camel people” and the creatures they adore reveals the ways camels touch lives around the world. Includes users’ and buyers’ guides to camel’s milk

El camino que nos une
by Suzanne Stabile¿Cómo comprendemos las motivaciones y dinámicas de los diferentes tipos de personalidad que apreciamos en nuestros compañeros íntimos, amigos y e incluso en nuestra vida profesional? Este libro de Suzanne Stabile sobre los nueve tipos del Eneagrama y cómo cada uno vive las relaciones, guiará al lector hacia una revelación más profunda sobre ellos mismos, sus propios tipos y la personalidad de los demás, para poder mantener relaciones amorosas, maduras y compasivas. La mayoría de nosotros no tenemos la menor idea de cómo los otros aprecian o procesan sus experiencias. Y ese desconocimiento puede dificultar las relaciones, ya sea con compañeros íntimos, amigos o incluso en nuestra vida profesional. Entender las motivaciones y las dinámicas de los diferentes tipos de personalidad puede ser la llave para destrabar algunas veces una conducta desconcertante en los demás (y en nosotros también). Este libro de Suzanne Stabile sobre los nueve tipos del Eneagrama y cómo cada uno se comporta y vive las relaciones, guiará al lector hacia una revelación más profunda sobre ellos mismos, sus propios tipos y la personalidad de los demás, de manera que puedan tener relaciones más saludables y llenas de vida. Nadie está mejor preparada para compartir la sabiduría del Eneagrama que la coautora de El camino de regreso a ti, quien nos enseñará cómo -o cómo no-funcionan las relaciones interpersonales. ¿Por qué los Seis parecen tan intimidados y rechazados por los Ocho, quienes solo desean que los Seis dejen de dar vueltas y pongan manos a la acción? ¿Por qué los Cinco parecen tan poco predispuestos, aun para con sus familiares y amigos más cercanos, mientras que los Dos parecen sentir lo que sienten todos los demás y acaban irritando a las personas que no solicitan su ayuda? ¿Cómo rayos puede ser que los Cuatro sean tan abiertos y amorosos contigo un día, y mostrarse tan secos y distantes al día siguiente? El Eneagrama no solo responde estas preguntas sino que además nos brinda una solución a nuestra costumbre de señalar y juzgar a los demás, y de considerarlos siempre deficientes, desconcertantes o insufribles. El enfoque de Suzanne, generoso -a veces divertido- y siempre brillante, nos revela por qué cada uno de los tipos se comportan de la forma en que lo hacen. Este libro nos ayuda a incentivar relaciones más amorosas, maduras y compasivas con cada persona a nuestro alrededor. Introducción " Ocho: Vulnerabilidad no es lo mismo que debilidad " Nueve: Arriesgar el conflicto para tener conexión " Uno: Las cosas siempre pueden mejorar " Dos: ¿Tus sentimientos o los míos? " Tres: Ser solo yo " Cuatro: Máchate pero no me dejes " Cinco: Mis murallas tienen puertas " Seis: Cuestionarlo todo " Siete: Aprender de la oscuridad
