Rubini Pietro
Sopra la Maniera meglio atta ad impedire la recidiva delle febbri periodiche già troncate col mezzo della chinachina dissertazione di Pietro Rubini professore di clinica di Parma. Coronata dalla società italiana delle scienze con annotazioni del D.r Minichini.
In 8°; 77, (3) pp. Senza brossura ma non slegata. Edizione definitiva con le aggiunte del dottor Minichini di questo importante studio del celebre medico parmense Pietro Rubini dedicato alle febbri periodiche, alla loro recidività ed al controllo delle stesse attraverso ritrovati farmaceutici a base di Chinachina. Pietro Rubini (Parma, 24 agosto 1760 – Parma, 15 maggio 1819) è stato un medico italiano. Si laureò in medicina all'Università di Parma nel 1782. Dopo aver lavorato per alcuni anni all'Ospedale di Parma, nel 1788 gli venne assegnata una condotta a Compiano. Stava per trasferirvisi con la famiglia quando, su proposta del protomedico Camuti, fu inviato, assieme ad un altro giovane medico, Luigi Borani, a seguire lezioni nelle università straniere, agevolato dal fatto di conoscere le lingue francese, inglese e tedesca. Andò prima a Pavia (1789), dove udì le lezioni di Pietro Frank, poi a Montpellier (1790) e a Lione (1791), dove assistette alle lezioni del celebre Louis Vitet. Andò poi ad Edimburgo, dove studiò con Monroe, Hamilton, Home e Gregory. Sulla via del ritorno in Italia si fermò a Parigi (1792). Tornò a Parma in giugno del 1792, e due anni dopo ottenne la cattedra di clinica medica. Nel 1801 fu ammesso al Collegio dei medici di Parma. Fu uno dei fondatori della Società Medico Chirurgica di Parma nel 1804, della quale divenne presidente e tra i principali collaboratori del Giornale Medico Chirurgico, pubblicato dal 1806 al 1813 da tale società. Nel 1807 fu ammesso all'Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze. Nel 1816 la duchessa Maria Luigia lo nominò protomedico della corte ducale. Appassionato di letteratura, fu tra i fondatori della Società del Gabinetto Letterario, della quale fu presidente nel 1815. Nell'atrio della sede centrale dell'Università di Parma si trova un suo busto, opera di Tommaso Bandini, collocato di fronte a quello di Giovanni Rasori. Tra i suoi numerosi scritti, sono da ricordare: Sull'attività della Datisca Cannabina di Linneo contro le febbri intermittenti (1794); L'azione specifica della china-china sulle vie urinarie (1799); Sopra la maniera meglio atta ad impedir la recidiva delle febbri periodiche già troncate col mezzo della china-china (1805). Esempalre che a parte la mancanza della brossura si presenta in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione.

RUDOLPH JENNIFER & MICHAEL SZONYI EDITORS
The China Questions: Critical Insights Into A Rising Power
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2018. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Many books offer information about China but few make sense of what is truly at stake. The questions addressed in this unique volume provide a window onto the challenges China faces today and the uncertainties its meteoric ascent on the global horizon has provoked. In only a few decades the most populous country on Earth has moved from relative isolation to center stage. Thirty-six of the world's leading China experts�all affiliates of the renowned Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University�answer key questions about where this new superpower is headed and what makes its people and their leaders tick. They distill a lifetime of cutting-edge scholarship into short accessible essays about Chinese identity culture environment society history or policy. Can China's economic growth continue apace Can China embrace the sacrifices required for a clean environment Will Taiwan reunite with the mainland How do the Chinese people understand their position in today's global marketplace How do historical setbacks and traditional values inform China's domestic and foreign policy Some of the essays address issues of importance to China internally revolving around the Communist Party's legitimacy the end of the one-child policy and ethnic tensions. Others focus on China's relationship with other nations particularly the United States. If America pulls back from its Asian commitments how will China assert its growing strength in the Pacific region China has already captured the world's attention. The China Questions takes us behind media images and popular perceptions to provide insight on fundamental issues. Jennifer Rudolph is Associate Professor of modern Chinese political history at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Michael Szonyi is Professor of Chinese History at Harvard University. "Sound bites about China spoken by either the media or politicians can fall into the trap of oversimplification. This can result in assumptions that like the tip of an iceberg do not reveal the myriad complexities below the surface� The China Questions provides a more nuanced and accessible perspective of the issues China is facing ranging from political and economic to cultural and societal."�Bernice Chan The South China Morning Post "This collection is impressive for its comprehensiveness with contributors providing numerous pointed observations� This is a highly informative readable collection for scholars and nonscholars alike."�Publishers Weekly "This book cuts through the cacophony of information misinformation and nonsense on China that circulates in our modern world to give us reliable answers to crucial questions about one of the world's most important nations. Written by a who's-who of experts on a variety of topics it's also a pleasure to read. With stylish essays on everything from elite politics to the classical Chinese novel it should be on the shelf of anyone seeking to understand this fast-rising superpower."�Ian Johnson author of The Souls of China "The China Questions is packed with erudite yet accessible commentaries on issues ranging from literature to ethnic diversity. The topical reach is impressive; readers will come away with information concerning novel ways of thinking about everything from early philosophical traditions to modern visions of utopia and dystopia from international relations to struggles for political legitimacy."�Jeffrey Wasserstrom author of China in the 21st Century Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2018 hardcover

RUSK BRUCE
Critics And Commentators: The Book Of Poems As Classic And Literature
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. At once a revered canon associated with Confucius and the earliest anthology of poetry the Book of Poems holds a unique place in Chinese literary history. Since early imperial times it served as an ideal of literary perfection as it provided a basis for defining shi poetry the most esteemed genre of elite composition. In imperial China however literary criticism and classical learning represented distinct fields of inquiry that differed in status with classical learning considered more serious and prestigious. Literary critics thus highlighted connections between the Book of Poems and later verse while classical scholars obscured the origins of their ideas in literary theory. This book explores the mutual influence of literary and classicizing approaches which frequently and fruitfully borrowed from one another. Drawing on a wide range of sources including commentaries anthologies colophons and inscriptions Bruce Rusk chronicles how scholars borrowed from critics without attribution and even resorted to forgery to make appealing new ideas look old. By unraveling the relationships through which classical and literary scholarship on the Book of Poems co-evolved from the Han dynasty through the Qing this study shows that the ancient classic was the catalyst for intellectual innovation and literary invention. Bruce Rusk is Associate Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of British Columbia. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2012 hardcover

RUSKOLA TEEMU
Legal Orientalism: China The United States And Modern Law
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Since the Cold War ended China has become a global symbol of disregard for human rights while the United States has positioned itself as the world's chief exporter of the rule of law. How did lawlessness become an axiom about Chineseness rather than a fact needing to be verified empirically and how did the United States assume the mantle of law's universal appeal In a series of wide-ranging inquiries Teemu Ruskola investigates the history of "legal Orientalism": a set of globally circulating narratives about what law is and who has it. For example why is China said not to have a history of corporate law as a way of explaining its "failure" to develop capitalism on its own Ruskola shows how a European tradition of philosophical prejudices about Chinese law developed into a distinctively American ideology of empire influential to this day. The first Sino-U.S. treaty in 1844 authorized the extraterritorial application of American law in a putatively lawless China. A kind of legal imperialism this practice long predated U.S. territorial colonialism after the Spanish-American War in 1898 and found its fullest expression in an American district court's jurisdiction over the "District of China." With urgent contemporary implications legal Orientalism lives on in the enduring damage wrought on the U.S. Constitution by late-nineteenth-century anti-Chinese immigration laws and in the self-Orientalizing reforms of Chinese law today. In the global politics of trade and human rights legal Orientalism continues to shape modern subjectivities institutions and geopolitics in powerful and unacknowledged ways. Teemu Ruskola is Professor of Law at Emory University. "This well-researched thought-provoking book applies the analytical framework of Orientalism to the study of Chinese law. The book is much more than a study of the Chinese legal system. It provides a commentary on how an Orientalist interpretation denied the existence of law in China and provided the basis for the development of an American philosophy of empire that has influenced not only U.S. interactions with China but also America's relations with much of the non-European world� The book is a welcome addition to the growing literature in comparative legal studies and is a must read not only for students of Chinese and U.S. law but also for those interested in the larger questions concerning relations between the West and the non-European world."�H. Shambayati Choice "This breakthrough book places the legal study of China's relationship to the West and vice versa on a new and deep foundation. It deserves serious attention from any thoughtful student of comparative law."�Bruce Ackerman Yale University "Extraterritoriality was the exception until it became the norm�an anomaly of jurisdiction that set the precedent for other practices including extraordinary rendition indefinite detention offshore prisons and drone attacks. A history of conceptual makeshifts illocutionary effects and massive legal fictions Legal Orientalism painstakingly researched humorous and dispassionate uniquely accounts for the ambiguous place of China in the institutions of modernity."�Haun Saussy University of Chicago "Teemu Ruskola has written a provocative book on legal orientalism a subject that he conceptualizes and explores with originality and sophistication. His book makes an important contribution to multiple fields. On the one hand it is a historical analysis that illuminates important aspects of nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century world history. On the other this book is urgently contemporary speaking to interest in legal studies and the social sciences about the place of law and legal reform in present-day China."�Mae Ngai Columbia University "Ruskola has written a work that stretches across time place and legal jurisdiction; Legal Orientalism shows a scholarly mind for detail combined with a rare degree of expansiveness and reach. A remarkable book."�Michael Dutton Goldsmiths University of London Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2013 hardcover
