Computational Geometry

Curve and Surface Modeling

By: Su Bu-qing,Liu Ding-yuan

Computational Geometry: Curve and Surface Modeling provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of computational geometry. This book discusses the geometric properties of parametric polynomial curves by using the theory of affine invariants for algebraic curves. Organized into eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of the objects studies in computational geometry, namely surfaces and curves. This text then explores the developments in the theory and application of spline functions, which began with cubic spline functions. Other chapters consider the mechanical background of the cubic spline functions, which is the wooden spline with small deflection. This book discusses as well that in mathematical lofting the information of a geometric shape is given by a set of data points, while in geometric design other ways of representations are available. The final chapter deals with the concepts in the theory of algebraic curves. This book is a valuable resource for mathematicians.

The Diaoyu Islands

Facts and Legality

By: Jiangyong Liu

This book conducts detailed research and analysis on the relevant literature and historical evidence regarding the 640-year history of ancient and modern China and other countries since the Ming Dynasty, and clarifies the chain of evidence concerning the Diaoyu Islands in terms of the facts and jurisprudence. Divided into seven chapters, the book includes over 220 original documents and maps. From the perspective of international law and historical fact, the author clarifies common misconceptions and refutes the opinions on the Diaoyu Islands issue put forward by Japanese officials and some scholars in recent years. By examining the historical documents and related maps of China, Europe and the United States, the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom, and Japan, the book presents convincing arguments that the Diaoyu Islands are historically Chinese territory, as one of the affiliated island groups of Taiwan. The book will be of considerable interest to scholars of Chinese foreign policy, Asian politics, security studies and international relations.

Princess Goes Autopsy Again

Volume 3

By: Liu LiHuo

What is a female medical examiner? One must go to the imperial court and down to the martial arts world. Obtaining a corpse, fighting a treacherous official, and fighting to the death with courage! She, a modern medical examiner, had become the third incompetent young master of the General's Estate as soon as she had transmigrated. Third Young Master? That was what she used to save her life while disguised as a man! Impotence? She was the one who kept a low profile and hid her true colors! He had wanted to stay away from trouble, but he was pestered by a certain Ghost King who was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. He had stolen his heart and was now a passerby.

Clothing, Food, and Travel

Ming Material Culture as Reflected in Xingshi Yinyuan Zhuan

By: Liu Xiaoyi

This book explores the material and cultural history of the Ming Dynasty based on the Chinese magnum opus Xingshi Yinyuan Zhuan (literally, The Story of a Marital Fate to Awaken the World), written under the pseudonym of the seventeenth-century writer Xizhou Sheng. The novel weaves into its narrative, through the characters' personalities and the events it illustrates, important details of Ming material life. Through the literary snapshot of the Ming material culture as reflected in Xingshi Yinyuan Zhuan, this work investigates the practices and customs of clothing, food, and travel, three of the "four major concerns of the people's livelihoods," known as yishizhuxing in Chinese. While frequenting economic dimensions and probing the impact that Ming politics had on the ethos and social economy of the period, it sheds significant light on folk customs, legal and religious practices, and the status of women, among other issues. This work aims to enrich the current Western scholarship, done primarily by Timothy Brook, Craig Clunas, and Glen Dudbridge, on Ming material culture. The book will be of great value to students and scholars of East Asian Studies, Chinese literature, and those interested in the history of material culture in general.

Information Fantasies

Precarious Mediation in Postsocialist China

By: Xiao Liu

Winner of the Science Fiction Research Association Book Award A groundbreaking, alternate history of information technology and information discourses Although the scale of the information economy and the impact of digital media on social life in China today could pale that of any other country, the story of their emergence in the post-Mao sociopolitical environment remains untold. Information Fantasies offers a revisionist account of the emergence of the “information society,” arguing that it was not determined by the technology of digitization alone but developed out of a set of techno-cultural imaginations and practices that arrived alongside postsocialism. Anticipating discussions on information surveillance, data collection, and precarious labor conditions today, Xiao Liu goes far beyond the current scholarship on internet and digital culture in China, questioning the limits of current new-media theory and history, while also salvaging postsocialism from the persistent Cold War structure of knowledge production. Ranging over forgotten science fiction, unjustly neglected films, corporeal practices such as qigong, scientific journals, advertising, and cybernetic theories, Information Fantasies constructs an alternate genealogy of digital and information imaginaries—one that will change how we look at the development of the postsocialist world and the emergence of digital technologies.

Grant Power Strategy and China-US Relations

大国战略与中美关系

By: Liu Yazhou

The author Liu Yazhou said, I've written quite a few books. I'd rather have one person read my book a thousand times than have a thousand people read it only once. Some people understand me. Many people hide their edges, but I don't. Who would I hide it for, and what would I achieve? If everyone doesn't tell the truth, then let me be the one to tell the truth. To reach heaven, one must go through hell. I'm willing to be a thought pioneer; I'm willing to be a martyr for free thought. I'm not afraid to live; how could I be afraid to die? In China， telling the truth is very difficult. But I will still speak the truth. Why are we indecisive to tell the truth? Because we lack faith. Once faith collapses, it's worse than never having faith, just as when civilization collapses, it's worse than never having civilization.
