The Adventures of Wu

The Life Cycle of a Peking Man

By: H. Y. Lowe

Based on first-hand experience, this entrancing narrative of daily life in Peking in the first decades of this century makes vivid the milieu of a fictional family--the traditionally-minded, lower middle- class family of Wu. The author uses experiences of the Wu family's son from birth to marriage to convey in rich detail a vanished way of life, including children's games, nursery rhymes, and education; flowers and foods; street entertainers, folk amusements, and acrobatics; religions; jokes and poems; and a great deal more. Originally published in 1983. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Escape

By: Hy Nguyen

Do you know anything about the Vietnamese? How much do the Vietnamese young generations know about their ancestors? The answer is, "Not at all." Each people are bonded to and influenced deeply by their tradition and culture which others have to find out in order to understand them. Let's go through the book Escape to fairly evaluate their intellectual values. Chapter I displays to your eyes respectable, attractive and artistic tributes to Gods which the villagers from all walks of life participated in to accomplish. The well-organized honoring to a high-ranking official's spirit in his funeral speaks out loud their deep appreciations towards those who bequeathed precious things to them. You would recognize, when reading through the pages, the Vietnamese cherished education and created to their children a good habit of learning, a fair competition for their advancement, and trained them to fight to overcome obstacles and maintain the good of their culture. Chapter II reveals to you an official, a hero, who constantly fought to maintain the beauty of his tradition and culture, and strove to trim off the bad. As a revolutionist, he devoted his life to improve the people's life in building up bridges to better transportation between his village and the surrounding ones and throughout the whole county, improved defective parts of the Common Building Compound and other public facilities, raising beneficial constructing funds which were approved by everybody. Unfortunately, communists appeared and demolished everything which belonged to the respectable tradition and culture and slaughtered patriots. This was the reason why the Vietnamese people had to run away from the North for the South in 1954 and to the U.S.A. in 1975. Chapters III, IV, and V show how we survive and succeed in our new country.

Luckily, Mariah, the cruise director, is always able to smooth things over…until someone pulls the man overboard alarm, the ship drops anchor—and the crew fishes Mariah’s dead body out of the water. Finding alcohol in Mariah’s system, the ship’s doctor declares her death an accident, but Monk isn’t convinced. He knows that Mariah and the captain were having an affair. Could someone have pushed her overboard? When the captain hires Monk and Natalie to look into a mysterious rash of vandalism onboard, Monk steers the investigation toward murder…

This short-story collection is for when you need to sit back and relax. These stories started from ideas that then more or less took over and wrote themselves. Take “The Wife’s Smile.” It started during breakfast; my wife actually smiled at a comment. Before coffee break, in thirty minutes I had an outline. Such stories—be they humorous or sad, adventurous or happy-go-lucky—lift the spirits.

Mr. Monk Helps Himself

By: Hy Conrad

Welcome to the series of original mysteries starring Adrian Monk, the brilliant investigator who always knows when something’s out of place.... Natalie is taking a break from studying for her PI license—the last step to becoming Monk’s full partner. She sneaks off to Half Moon Bay for a retreat run by Miranda Bigley, leader of the Best Possible Me self-help program, but her plans for a relaxing weekend are disrupted when Monk tracks her down to rescue her from the “cult.” Their argument is cut short when Miranda, in full view of everyone, calmly walks to the edge of a cliff and jumps. Even though Miranda’s death looks like suicide, Natalie is sure it's murder. But Monk brushes her off to help the SFPD solve the murder of a clown, despite his coulrophobia, aka fear of clowns. As Monk and Natalie begin their independent investigations, they quickly learn that if they want to figure out whodunit, they will have to find a way to become true partners.... An all-new story starring Adrian Monk by Edgar® Award–nominated Monk screenwriter and coexecutive producer Hy Conrad. It’s compulsive, page-turning fun.

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Tradition, Revolution, and Market Economy in a North Vietnamese Village, 1925–2006

By: Hy Van Luong

Tradition, Revolution, and Market Economy in a North Vietnamese Village examines both continuity and change over eight decades in a small rural village deep in the North Vietnamese countryside. Son-Duong, a community near the Red River, experienced firsthand the ravages of French colonialism and the American war, as well as the socialist revolution and Vietnam’s recent reintegration into the global market economy. In this revised and expanded edition of his 1992 book, Revolution in the Village, Hy V. Luong draws on newly available archival documents in Hanoi, narratives by villagers, and three field seasons from the late 1980s to 2006. He situates his finely drawn village portrait within the historical framework of the Vietnamese revolution and the recent reforms in Vietnam. The richness of the oral testimony of surviving villagers enables the author to follow them throughout political and economic upheavals, compiling a wealth of original data as they actively restructure their daily lives. In his analysis of the implications of these data for theoretical models of agrarian transformation, Luong argues that local traditions have played a major role in shaping villagers’ responses to colonialism, socialist policies, and the global market economy. His work, spanning eight decades of sociocultural change, will interest students and scholars of the Vietnamese revolution, agrarian politics, peasant societies, French colonialism, and socialist transformation.

Cost-benefit Analysis of the Onchoceriasis Control Program (OCP)

By: Ae-hy?ng Kim,Bruce Benton

Annotation World Bank Technical Paper No. 282. This volume presents a cost-benefit analysis of the Onchocerciasis (Riverblindness) Control Program (OCP) by examining its costs and the measurable economic benefits gained from the successful control of the disease. Widely recognized as one of the most successful disease control programs in the history of development assistance, the OCP projects the elimination of riverblindness throughout an eleven-country subregion of West Africa within the next eight years. This program, which began in the early 1970s, was the World Bank's first major venture into the health field. The Bank asked a large donor community of more than 20 governments and international organizations to make a long-term commitment of more than US$500 million to implement the OCP. This paper documents the benefits in economic terms from the large investment and shows that large-scale, well-conceived health interventions are clearly the business of development. The program improves the health and living environment of the rural population and frees previously oncho-ridden tracts of land for settlement and cultivation.
