Dear Stellar

Letters on the art of being human

By: Lon Wong

Could there be a larger, more radiant life waiting for you? And yet, have you found yourself at times living a shadow of what your life could be, often bored and overwhelmed at the same time? You are not alone. If you’re ever feeling lost, exhausted, unsure, or merely meandering through life, these pages will help guide you back to centre. Written affectionately as letters from a father to a daughter, this book traverses life and love and hurt. It explores imagination, creativity, and purpose. It dives into acceptance, seeing differently, and the art of being fully present to your extraordinary life. Ultimately, it’s an invitation to being more human, more alive, and more you. Through stories and insights, Dear Stellar compassionately dives into: What if there was more to you than the stories our world offers up? How might your life expand as you shift to a state of wonder? What would you create if you couldn’t fail? How might you persist when nothing seems to work out? What does love beyond yourself look like? How might you be ever more yourself? Discover yourself as you glimpse inside the intimate relationship between a father and a daughter growing up together. This is for parents, adult children, and human beings who are looking for a more brilliant, more beautiful life.

Apricot Marmalade and the Sangsuwan Equation

By: Lon Orey

Well, those Apricot Marmalade guys are at it again! In this sequel to Apricot Marmalade and the Edmondson Transmittal, Special Agents Reynolds, Bonner, Wilson, Dunn, and Cooper are again matching wits with KGB spies and other enemy agents in Thailand during the Vietnam War, with the battleground practically next door. Ed Reynolds faces new challenges that keep him on his toes but seemingly just one step ahead of a court martial. Irv Bonner gets a new assignment in the northern part of the country that puts his life at risk but also brings him a chance at a meaningful romance. The team's biggest challenge in this go-around is to track down a physics graduate student who is intent on developing a nuclear device. His plan: to threaten a major Thai city with extinction, unless his demands are met. The group is racing against the clock to stop tens of thousands of innocent people from being vaporized. Satire is alive and well in Apricot Marmalade and the Sangsuwan Equation. ______________________________________________________________________________ PRAISE FOR APRICOT MARMALADE AND THE EDMONDSON TRANSMITTAL This book "is a hilarious tale of dysfunctional alphabet intelligence agencies operating in Vietnam-era Thailand . . . Written in a comedic satirical style reminiscent of Catch 22 . . . -San Francisco Book Review "What sets the book apart is Orey's sharp pen, comic timing, and crack dialogue, as its scruffy band tracks its marks, deals with GRU agents and arms smugglers, and tries to maybe even see some justice get done. That dialogue and crisp descriptive action are well balanced throughout . . ." -BookLife (an affiliate of Publishers Weekly) "Fantastic read . . . I loved this book . .. . I'd recommend Apricot Marmalade and the Edmondson Transmittal to all lovers of historical fiction. All in all, I'd rate it four out of four stars." -OnlineBookClub.org "I enjoyed this book. Frankly, it was a delight to read . . . The characters in this story were well developed and memorable . . . fresh and engaging . . . such a good and satisfying story." -Manhattan Book Review

Japanese American Celebration and Conflict

A History of Ethnic Identity and Festival, 1934-1990

By: Lon Kurashige

Do racial minorities in the United States assimilate to American values and institutions, or do they retain ethnic ties and cultures? In exploring the Japanese American experience, Lon Kurashige recasts this tangled debate by examining what assimilation and ethnic retention have meant to a particular community over a long period of time. This is an inner history, in which the group identity of one of America's most noteworthy racial minorities takes shape. From the 1930s, when Japanese immigrants controlled sizable ethnic enclaves, to the tragic wartime internment and postwar decades punctuated by dramatic class mobility, racial protest, and the influx of economic investment from Japan, the story is fraught with conflict. The narrative centers on Nisei Week in Los Angeles, the largest annual Japanese celebration in the United States. The celebration is a critical site of political conflict, and the ways it has changed over the years reflect the ongoing competition over what it has meant to be Japanese American. Kurashige reveals, subtly and with attention to gender issues, the tensions that emerged at different moments, not only between those who emphasized Japanese ethnicity and those who stressed American orientation, but also between generations and classes in this complex community.

Two Faces of Exclusion

The Untold History of Anti-Asian Racism in the United States

By: Lon Kurashige

From the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 to the Immigration Act of 1924 to Japanese American internment during World War II, the United States has a long history of anti-Asian policies. But Lon Kurashige demonstrates that despite widespread racism, Asian exclusion was not the product of an ongoing national consensus; it was a subject of fierce debate. This book complicates the exclusion story by examining the organized and well-funded opposition to discrimination that involved some of the most powerful public figures in American politics, business, religion, and academia. In recovering this opposition, Kurashige explains the rise and fall of exclusionist policies through an unstable and protracted political rivalry that began in the 1850s with the coming of Asian immigrants, extended to the age of exclusion from the 1880s until the 1960s, and since then has shaped the memory of past discrimination. In this first book-length analysis of both sides of the debate, Kurashige argues that exclusion-era policies were more than just enactments of racism; they were also catalysts for U.S.-Asian cooperation and the basis for the twenty-first century's tightly integrated Pacific world.

Mathematical Quantum Theory II: Schrodinger Operators

Schrödinger Operators

By: Joel S. Feldman,Richard Gerd Froese,Lon M. Rosen

The articles in this collection constitute the proceedings of the Canadian Mathematical Society Annual Seminar on Mathematical Quantum Theory, held in Vancouver in August 1993. The meeting was run as a research-level summer school concentrating on two related areas of contemporary mathematical physics. The first area, quantum field theory and many-body theory, is covered in volume 1 of these proceedings. The second area, treated in the present volume, is Schrödinger operators. The meeting featured a series of four-hour mini-courses, designed to introduce students to the state of the art in particular areas, and thirty hour-long expository lectures. With contributions from some of the top experts in the field, this book is an important resource for those interested in activity at the frontiers of mathematical quantum theory.
