The Terracotta Army Of The First Emperor Of China
Odyssey Books & Guides Hong Kong: 2007. Softcover. Brand new book. In 1974 near Xi'an in central China villagers chanced upon what has become one of the world's most astonishing finds - an 8000-man army in battle-ready formation each warrior a life-size figure in pottery made over 2200 years ago. Qin Shi Huangdi China's first emperor and founder of the Qin dynasty commissioned this massive military tableau creating an underground army to protect his voyage in the afterlife. The tomb is located in the eastern suburbs of Lintong County 22 miles east of Xi'an. It is estimated that the tomb took 38 years to build between 247 BC and 208 BC and utilized the labor of over 700000 conscripts. The emperor died in 210 BC having unified China into a central state and also laid the foundation for the Great Wall. Odyssey Books & Guides, Hong Kong: 2007 paperback

Lindsay Jon R. Lindsay, Tai Ming Cheung, Derek S. Reveron
China and Cybersecurity: Espionage, Strategy, and Politics in the Digital Domain
8vo, trade pb. China s emergence as a great power in the twenty-first century is strongly enabled by cyberspace. Leveraged information technology integrates Chinese firms into the global economy, modernizes infrastructure, and increases internet penetration which helps boost export-led growth. China s pursuit of informatization reconstructs industrial sectors and solidifies the transformation of the Chinese People s Liberation Army into a formidable regional power. Even as the government censors content online, China has one of the fastest growing internet populations and most of the technology is created and used by civilians. Western political discourse on cybersecurity is dominated by news of Chinese military development of cyberwarfare capabilities and cyber exploitation against foreign governments, corporations, and non-governmental organizations. Western accounts, however, tell only one side of the story. Chinese leaders are also concerned with cyber insecurity, and Chinese authors frequently note that China is also a victim of foreign cyber--attacks--predominantly from the United States.China and Cybersecurity: Political, Economic, and Strategic Dimensions is a comprehensive analysis of China s cyberspace threats and policies. The contributors--Chinese specialists in cyber dynamics, experts on China, and experts on the use of information technology between China and the West--address cyberspace threats and policies, emphasizing the vantage points of China and the U.S. on cyber exploitation and the possibilities for more positive coordination with the West. The volume s multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural approach does not pretend to offer wholesale resolutions. Contributors take different stances on how problems may be analyzed and reduced, and aim to inform the international audience of how China s political, economic, and security systems shape cyber activities. The compilation provides empirical and evaluative depth on the deepening dependence on shared global information infrastructure and the growing willingness to exploit it for political or economic gain

LINK PERRY
An Anatomy Of Chinese: Rhythm Metaphor Politics
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. During the Cultural Revolution Mao exhorted the Chinese people to "smash the four olds": old customs old culture old habits and old ideas. Yet when the Red Guards in Tiananmen Square chanted "We want to see Chairman Mao" they unknowingly used a classical rhythm that dates back to the Han period and is the very embodiment of the four olds. An Anatomy of Chinese reveals how rhythms conceptual metaphors and political language convey time-honored meanings of which Chinese speakers themselves may not be consciously aware and contributes to the ongoing debate over whether language shapes thought or vice versa. Perry Link's inquiry into the workings of Chinese reveals convergences and divergences with English most strikingly in the area of conceptual metaphor. Different spatial metaphors for consciousness for instance mean that English speakers wake up while speakers of Chinese wake across. Other underlying metaphors in the two languages are similar lending support to theories that locate the origins of language in the brain. The distinction between daily-life language and official language has been unusually significant in contemporary China and Link explores how ordinary citizens learn to play language games artfully wielding officialese to advance their interests or defend themselves from others. Particularly provocative is Link's consideration of how Indo-European languages with their preference for abstract nouns generate philosophical puzzles that Chinese with its preference for verbs avoids. The mind-body problem that has plagued Western culture may be fundamentally less problematic for speakers of Chinese. Perry Link is retired from a career teaching at Princeton University and now is Chancellorial Chair for Teaching Across Disciplines at the University of California Riverside. He publishes on Chinese language literature and cultural history and also writes and speaks on human rights in China. "In An Anatomy of Chinese Perry Link has made a fascinating discovery that those who are literate in Chinese are subliminally aware of but which he is the first to make explicit in a lucid and illuminating fashion. Link brings aspects of the Chinese language�innate cadences prosody�to the surface and analyzes them in such a fashion that we come to understand the structure and genius of Chinese better than ever before. It is a captivating and ingenious tale that the author spins."�Victor Mair University of Pennsylvania "The most significant scholarly work in recent decades that uncovers the repressed nuances and rhythms of the Chinese language. Only Perry Link can give meaning and power so magnificently to Chinese clichs and linguistic routines. High-brow and low-brow Chinese words and syntaxes the unacquainted speaking patterns and metaphorical structures of the East and West have finally found each other in a brilliant first-rate comparative analysis by America's preeminent authority on contemporary Chinese language."�Maochun Yu United States Naval Academy "Perry Link's book is the first comprehensive study in either English or Chinese on language and politics in China. With an incredible ear for subtle twists and turns in verbal expressions Link examines the impact of rhythm and metaphor on the rhetoric of slogans enhancing our understanding of linguistic mechanisms that account for the power of slogans in communist politics and illustrating with a wealth of examples the intricate interactions between sound and structure in spoken Chinese."�Pang-Hsin Ting University of California Berkeley "Perry Link's An Anatomy of Chinese is a rich delightfully refreshing and satisfying look at features of Chinese language rarely probed in standard accounts�a feast of insights from start to finish."�Chad Hansen University of Hong Kong "Perry Link's An Anatomy of Chinese is original superbly informed by living experience full of stimulating and sometimes challenging insights nourished by a deep understanding of contemporary Chinese realities. It should become recommended reading for any person who is involved with China�scholars students visitors residents�and more broadly for all civilized individuals who feel a need to complete their own humanity by getting better acquainted with the Chinese perspective."�Simon Leys author of The Hall of Uselessness "Link's fascinating tour de force makes clear the many ways in which the rhythms and metaphors of written and spoken Chinese contribute to Chinese cultural formation individual character formation and political manipulation. Insisting on using familiar terms in place of jargon Link makes linguistics accessible and even fun for all of us."�Michael S. Duke author of The Iron House: A Memoir of the Chinese Democracy Movement and the Tiananmen Massacre Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2013 hardcover

An Anatomy of Chinese: Rhythm, Metaphor, Politics
8vo, hardcover vin dj, 364pp. During the Cultural Revolution, Mao exhorted the Chinese people to ?smash the four olds?: old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. Yet when the Red Guards in Tiananmen Square chanted ?We want to see Chairman Mao,? they unknowingly used a classical rhythm that dates back to the Han period and is the very embodiment of the four olds. An Anatomy of Chinese reveals how rhythms, conceptual metaphors, and political language convey time-honored meanings of which Chinese speakers themselves may not be consciously aware, and contributes to the ongoing debate over whether language shapes thought, or vice versa. Perry Link?s inquiry into the workings of Chinese reveals convergences and divergences with English, most strikingly in the area of conceptual metaphor. Different spatial metaphors for consciousness, for instance, mean that English speakers wake up while speakers of Chinese wake across. Other underlying metaphors in the two languages are similar, lending support to theories that locate the origins of language in the brain. The distinction between daily-life language and official language has been unusually significant in contemporary China, and Link explores how ordinary citizens learn to play language games, artfully wielding officialese to advance their interests or defend themselves from others. Particularly provocative is Link?s consideration of how Indo-European languages, with their preference for abstract nouns, generate philosophical puzzles that Chinese, with its preference for verbs, avoids. The mind-body problem that has plagued Western culture may be fundamentally less problematic for speakers of Chinese.
