4-0 out of 5 stars A Poignant Look at Chinese Buddhism
This story of a Buddhist monk search for his place in the wheel of life is candidly written and enjoyable. Chen-hua has very interesting things to say about the practice of Buddhism in China. He finds abuses of power at several of the monasteries he visits. A must read for someone looking for an introduction to Chinese Buddhist doctrine and principle. ... Read more

Book Description

The Opium Wars ushered in an era of intensive Western imperialism in China, at a time when the Ch'ing dynasty was already in decline, forcing a small number of Chinese officials to come to the realisation that China must protect itself by adopting the same military technology that had brought it national humiliation. Shen Pao-chen was one such official. Abandoning the comfort of his successful career, Shen devoted his life to building China's first modern naval dockyard and academy. His successes and failures shed new light on the story of China's efforts at modernization - a story that has not come to a conclusion. As China engages in new rounds of economic and industrial modernization in the post-Mao era, many of these issues acquire new meanings and significance. ... Read more

Book Description

This unprecedented volume contains the memoirs of a Chinese diplomat as he remembers the events surrounding World War II. Concerned that the West is basically ignorant about what occurred in China during the 1930s and 1940s, Dr. Li, former Major General in the Chinese Nationalist Army and one time aide de camp of Acting President General Li Tsungjen, recounts personal memories of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. Dr. Li, who is nevertheless staunchly anti-Communist, maintains that China could not have successfully resisted the Japanese conquest without Chiang's leadership. This is a highly personal memoir, shaped by his excellent knowledge of contemporary history, and a genuine attempt to place Chiang Kai-shek in his historical context. Co-published with Atlantic Research and Publications, Inc. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Memorable! A Brilliant Man.
T.G. Li was not only a corageous and dedicated man, but also a wonderful human being.His book clearly depicts his love for the China that he had fought for.Although he has past away, his autobiography gives me more insight on the life I never knew, nor experienced.

5-0 out of 5 stars An easy-to-read bio on today's most renowned Asian athlete.
This large-print biography is intended for children.The rather slim volume opens with an introduction on Michael's courageous win at the '89 French Open, then launches into a account of his early life and career up to 1992.Although understandably short on detail, the pictures are what make this book a real find, as there are many childhood photos and snapshots out of the Chang family album. ...

Book Description

For years my mother had been telling me little vignettes of her childhood - the sweltering Merced summers made hotter by eight-pound irons and endless baskets of other peoples' laundry, the gorgeous iridescent rooster gallantly defending his harem, the slobbering ghostly visitations in the night. Who would want to read her story? Perhaps you. ... Read more
