Out of the Gobi : my story of China and America / by Shan, Weijian,1953-author.(CARDINAL)804805;
Man-made famine -- School cut short -- Storm of revolution -- Turmoil under heaven -- Exiled to the Gobi -- Digging for potatoes -- War is coming -- Repairing the Earth -- Battling frozen lake -- The longest night -- Unforgettable movie night -- Barefoot doctor -- Brickmaking the ancient way -- Petition to Mao -- Pigs don't fly -- Half the sky -- Desert dreams of college -- Last convulsions of the revolution -- Roads to Rome -- Old Gold Mountain -- The People's Republic of Berkeley -- Ivy league professor.Weijian Shan's Out of the Gobi is a powerful memoir and commentary that will be one of the most important books on China of our time, one with the potential to re-shape how Americans view China, and how the Chinese view life in America. Shan, a former hard laborer who is now one of Asia's best-known financiers, is thoughtful, observant, eloquent, and brutally honest, making him well-positioned to tell the story of a life that is a microcosm of modern China, and of how, improbably, that life became intertwined with America. Out of the Gobi draws a vivid picture of raw human energy and the will to succeed against all odds. ... Shan's improbable journey, from the People's Republic of China to the "People's Republic of Berkeley" and beyond, is a uniquely American success story--told with a splash of humor, deep insight, and rich and engaging detail. ... This powerful and personal perspective on China and America will shape Americans' view of China, humanizing the country while honestly confronting its many deficiencies. Born and raised in Beijing, Shan only finished elementary school when Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution tore his country apart. He was a witness to the brutality and absurdity of Mao's policies during one of the most tumultuous eras in China's history. Exiled to the Gobi Desert at age 15, he spent his formative years doing hard labor. Denied schooling for 10 years and a secondary education altogether, he returned to Beijing 6 years later, in time to witness Mao Zedong's death and the start of economic reforms that would transform China.

The ruin of all witches : life and death in the New World / by Gaskill, Malcolm,author.(CARDINAL)658261;
Includes bibliographical references and index.A voice that said 'death' -- Here we must be happy -- Temptations of desire -- Sleeveless errands -- I hear my child is dead -- Strange dreams -- That dumb dog -- Converse with the devil -- New Witchland -- Epilogue: An end to all affection."A gripping story of a family tragedy brought about by witch-hunting in Puritan New England that combines history, anthropology, sociology, politics, theology and psychology. In Springfield, Massachusetts in 1651, peculiar things begin to happen. Precious food spoils, livestock ails, property vanishes, and people suffer convulsions as if possessed by demons. A woman is seen wading through the swamp like a lost soul. Disturbing dreams and visions proliferate. Children sicken and die. As tensions rise, rumours spread of witches and heretics and the community becomes tangled in a web of distrust, resentment and denunciation. The finger of suspicion soon falls on a young couple with two small children: the prickly brickmaker, Hugh Parsons, and his troubled wife, Mary. Drawing on rich, previously unexplored source material, Malcolm Gaskill vividly evokes a strange past, one where lives were steeped in the divine and the diabolic, in omens, curses and enchantments. The Ruin of All Witches captures an entire society caught in agonized transition between superstition and enlightenment, tradition and innovation"--
