First published in Korean in 2016, Inside North Korea's Theocracy offers a fascinating and rare look at the lives of several of the regime's key leaders. Its primary focus is Jang Song-thaek, a talented and reform-minded member of the political ruling class who was executed in 2013. Jang was the son-in-law of North Korean founder, Kim Il-sung; brother-in-law of its second leader, Kim Jong-il; and uncle to its current leader, Kim Jong-un. The author traces Jang's life from his youth as a brilliant student in Pyongyang to his eventual marriage to Kim Kyong-hui and his rising power as a businessman to, ultimately, his untimely death. In addition to biographical sketches of Jang, his wife, and brother-in-law, Ra Jong-yil provides first-hand impressions of life in North Korea and illuminates the inner workings of its government.
In the global game industry where the U.S. has already established its strong position in PC game and Japan in console game, Korea successfully opened new territory and began to play an important role in the global game industry with a new and emerging product — the online game. This book focuses on this interesting phenomenon and suggests that innovation, which led to the shift from the offline game to the online game, is the rationale behind this. Based on field data gathered through direct investigations with Korean game developers as well as the U.S., Southeast Asian, Chinese and Japanese companies, this book unveils diverse strategies of game companies and presents cognitive differences toward the online game business where various convergences will occur between the online game and other Internet businesses.This book focuses on the innovative factors which made the online game, born in a small Asian country, grow tremendously and successfully to gain competitiveness in the global game industry where the PC and console games had already taken their strong position. Based on authentic, accumulated research conducted over five years in the domain of the online game industry through interviews, case studies and international surveys, the data in this book has huge value since the results were derived from users' data with the cooperation of each game industry.
An English rendition of a collection of poetry by Do Jong-hwan, one of Korea’s most beloved poets. Do’s literary career started in 1984, when he released Age of Division while teaching Korean language and literature to high-school students. His second poetry collection, You the Hollyhock, sold over a million copies and was made into a film, and he became one of Korea’s most influential poets during the 1980s, popular among critics and readers alike. Through poetry, Do found beauty in the poverty of his youth and in the sadness and pain from losing his wife to illness. He portrays flowers, trees, creeks, wind, mountains, and other shifts in nature through a unique poetic sensibility. Have accepted poetry as his “fate and companion,” he conveys simple truths and wisdom, such as how life matures and finds beauty amid pain and suffering. This collection was rendered into English by Brother Anthony, President of the Royal Asiatic Society Korea Branch and translator who has introduced international readers to several Korean works, and Jinna Park.
Edited by the leaders in the fi eld, with chapters from highly renowned international researchers, this is the fi rst coherent overview of the latest in silicon nanomembrane research. As such, it focuses on the fundamental and applied aspects of silicon nanomembranes, ranging from synthesis and manipulation to manufacturing, device integration and system level applications, including uses in bio-integrated electronics, three-dimensional integrated photonics, solar cells, and transient electronics. The first part describes in detail the fundamental physics and materials science involved, as well as synthetic approaches and assembly and manufacturing strategies, while the second covers the wide range of device applications and system level demonstrators already achieved, with examples taken from electronics and photonics and from biomedicine and energy.
Kevin Gray and Jong-Woon Lee focus on three geopolitical 'moments' that have been crucial to the shaping of the North Korean system: colonialism, the Cold War, and the rise of China, to demonstrate how broader processes of geopolitical contestation have fundamentally shaped the emergence and subsequent development of the North Korean political economy. They argue that placing the nexus between geopolitics and development at the centre of the analysis helps explain the country's rapid catch-up industrialisation, its subsequent secular decline followed by collapse in the 1990s, and why the reform process has been markedly more conservative compared to other state socialist societies. As such, they draw attention to the specificities of North Korea's experience of late development, but also place it in a broader comparative context by understanding the country not solely through the analytical lens of state socialism but also as an instance of post-colonial national development.
There exists a large volume of literature on Korean success in economic development. However, Korea has experienced several economic crises in the development process. While the financial crisis in 1997 has received a substantial amount of attention in the mass media and in the academic as well, Korea had not been immune to economic crisis prior to the 1997 financial crisis. This book reviews the experiences of economic crises and their resolutions in Korea since 1960s. The book examines each crisis and concludes that the factors that caused one previous crisis later brought about another crisis repeatedly. This indicates that the measures to resolve the previous crises were ultimately ineffective in the sense that the fundamental causes for the economic crisis had remained unresolved and, as a result, recurrence of the crisis has not been prevented.
It is a self-development book that is made up of two things: 'Words is a seed' and laughter is happiness. Because dreams are built up through words and happy energy is created through laughter, it is that if you do words and laughter every day, you can live a successful life and you can enjoy a happy life. A word has power, dreams, and life, so he must say good things and say something positive. It tells you that you can accomplish what you dream by adding your own feelings and wish adding "hahaha" laughter energy, and you can go toward your goal through laughter energy.
This book is about exploring and presenting a model of digital-based curriculum for Christian education suitable for the digital ways of learning, communicating, and thinking. Park discusses the limitations of analog-based curricula, most of current curricula, and necessities for digital-oriented ones. Then, he provides a new model of curriculum--curriculum as software. Curriculum as software is a curricular framework for embracing digital culture like open-flat network, service-centered management, interactive communication, and offline-online hybrid learning space. It consists of four spiral stages: analysis, design, simulation, and service. In the process of designing units, 4R Movement--a new learning theory--is utilized to encourage today's young people to construct their own knowledge after critically analyzing various resources of information. 4R-embeded courses are implemented in the four movements: reflection, reinterpretation, re-formation, and re-creation.
The economic success of East Asia is often attributed to the relationship between state and business. In The State and Industry in South Korea , Jong-Chan Rhee presents a more balanced view of Korea's `industrial miracle'. The book examines the limits of a strong authoritarian state as a vehicle for intervening in the market or for sponsoring liberal reform. In so doing the author focuses on how state-controlled industrial adjustment in Korea has succeeded and failed.
This book provides up-to-date information on the characteristics of each species of intestinal fluke found in humans and on the management of infections caused by these trematodes. Biology, epidemiology, host-parasite relationships, pathogenicity, clinical aspects, diagnosis, and treatment are all reviewed in detail. The zoonotic intestinal flukes comprise 38 genera belonging to 16 families. They are morphologically diverse and each species has a characteristic life cycle and geographical distribution. Intestinal fluke infections are commonly considered as tropical endemic diseases in Asian countries, where 6 million people are infected, but the geographical limits and populations at risk are expanding and changing owing to a range of factors, including growing international markets, improved transportation systems, changes in eating habits, demographic trends, and climate change. While the pathogenicity of intestinal flukes is generally mild, the impact in immunocompromised individuals requires clarification and some diagnostic problems remain to be solved. In exploring all aspects of human intestinal fluke infections, this book will be invaluable for clinicians and researchers alike.

For the baby-faced dictator in your life, a guide to throwing shindigs that go off like an intercontinental ballistic missile. 안녕하세요! Please express profound gratitude to Revered Marshall Kim Jong-un, who generously provides boundless wisdom to the people. In this book, he instructs his adoring subjects on how to party down in a one-party state. A good knees-up can lift workers' spirits, taking their minds off political repression, food scarcity and a total lack of free speech. Not that any of those are issues in North Korea, despite what Western propagandists might say. Kim Jong FUN is the #1 bestselling book in the DPRK! And, coincidentally, the only one you can buy.
