Balancing the modern (1784-1949) and contemporary (1949-) periods, Dong Wang retraces centuries of interaction between two of the world's great powers from the perspective of both sides. She examines state-to-state diplomacy, as well as economic, social, military, religious, and cultural interplay within varying national and international contexts. As China itself continues to grow in global importance, so does the U.S.-Chinese relationship, and this book provides an essential grounding for understanding its past, present, and possible futures."--p.

Reapers / by Ramsay, Frederick.(CARDINAL)545949;

"The World Cup, which arrives in June, has ripple effects on all South Africa's neighbors. The arrival of soccer fans, team owners, sponsors, and world dignitaries makes southern Africa, particularly Botswana, ripe for all sorts of intrigue and illicit activities... 'Orgonise Africa', derived from Wilhelm Reich's popularization of orgone energy and transmogrified by bad science and wishful thinking, is an effort by fanatics to push forward a plan to seed Africa with orgone...Sanderson, the Game Ranger in the Chobe National Park, finds a body. Tracking down the murderer opens doors that lead her and Inspector Kgabo Modise first to evidence of local bribery, then to smuggling, and finally to what could well provoke an international incident, except for the shrewd action of Modise and Botswana's intelligence community."--Dust jacket flap.

The sky is for everyone : women astronomers in their own words / by Trimble, Virginia,editor.; Weintraub, David A.(David Andrew),1958-editor.(CARDINAL)551581;

Includes bibliographical references and indexes."An inspiring anthology of writings by trailblazing women astronomers from around the globe The Sky Is for Everyone is an internationally diverse collection of autobiographical essays by women who broke down barriers and changed the face of modern astronomy. Virginia Trimble and David Weintraub vividly describe how, before 1900, a woman who wanted to study the stars had to have a father, brother, or husband to provide entry, and how the considerable intellectual skills of women astronomers were still not enough to enable them to pry open doors of opportunity for much of the twentieth century. After decades of difficult struggles, women are closer to equality in astronomy than ever before. Trimble and Weintraub bring together the stories of the tough and determined women who flung the doors wide open. Taking readers from 1960 to today, this triumphant anthology serves as an inspiration to current and future generations of women scientists while giving voice to the history of a transformative era in astronomy. With contributions by Neta Bahcall, Beatriz Barbuy, Ann Merchant Boesgaard, Jocelyn Bell Burnell, Catherine Cesarsky, Poonam Chandra, Xuefei Chen, Yilen Gómez Maqueo Chew, Cathie Clarke, Judith Gamora Cohen, France Anne Córdova, Anne Pyne Cowley, Bożena Czerny, Wendy L.

The Chinese question : the gold rushes and global politics / by Ngai, Mae M.,author.(CARDINAL)822082;

In roughly five decades, between 1848 and 1899, more gold was removed from the earth than had been mined in the 3,000 preceding years. But friction between Chinese and white settlers on the goldfields of California, Australia, and South Africa catalyzed a global battle over "the Chinese Question": Would the United States and the British Empire outlaw Chinese immigration? This distinguished history of the Chinese diaspora and global capitalism chronicles how a feverish alchemy of race and money brought Chinese to the West and reshaped the nineteenth-century world, from Europe's subjugation of China to the rise of the international gold standard and the invention of racist, anti-Chinese stereotypes that linger to this day. Drawing on ten years of research across five continents, prize-winning historian Mae Ngai argues that Chinese exclusion was not extraneous to the emergent global economy but an integral part of it"--

Planet middle school : helping your child through the peer pressure, awkward moments & emotional drama / by Leman, Kevin.(CARDINAL)352184;

Includes bibliographical references.Creature from the black lagoon -- Their expanding universe -- All flared up! -- Survival of the fittest -- Walking on polar ice -- Confronting the black hole : technology at warp speed -- Growing up way too fast -- Becoming a (gulp) man/woman -- Blue chip or penny stocks? -- Understanding who your kid really is -- How to talk so they'll listen -- Expect the best, get the best -- Raising a "home" boy/girl -- Life-mapping -- Creating an attitude of gratitude -- Raising a giver in a gimme generation -- A word of encouragement -- Conclusion -- A middle-schooler's 10 commandments to parents -- Notes -- About Dr. Kevin Leman -- Resources by Dr. Kevin Leman.It happens to every parent. One day, you have a sweet son or daughter who loves to snuggle on the couch and who puts a smile on your face just by walking into the room. The next day, it's as if someone left the door open and let in an alien with a smart mouth and an attitude that, frankly, you could do without. Entering middle school is like stepping onto a different planet -- for parent and child alike. But these years don't have to create chaos in your family. In fact, they can be some of the best, most fruitful years of all, a time when you can grow closer rather than drift apart. From the internal storms of hormonal changes to the external challenges of peer pressure and our technology-saturated culture, your child is under constant bombardment. Learn how to come alongside your middle-schooler with the love, understanding, and values that will see you both safely back home to earth when your time on Planet Middle School is over. Kevin Leman shows you how to understand your child's rapidly expanding world; respond rather than react to mood swings; tell your child about sex (before someone else tells their version); create opportunities for your child to practice selflessness and gratitude; ensure that your kid is one who loves home and family; and much more.
