Grassroots Charisma

Four Local Leaders in China

By: Stephan Feuchtwang,Wang Mingming

This book relates the stories of four leaders under very different political regimes: Colonial, Nationalist and Communist. The authors compare Chinese notions of respect and inspiration with their equivalents in other religious and political histories of colonial and post-colonial modernity, thereby producing a thorough re-working of the idea of charisma. The result is an intriguing study of the relationship between religious and political authority in a changing world.

Varieties of Alternatives

Focus Particles and wh-Expressions in Mandarin

By: Mingming Liu

This book concerns two focus particles (jiu, dou) and wh-expressions (shenme = ‘what’, na geren = ‘which person’) in Mandarin Chinese. These items are systematically ‘ambiguous’ and have played important roles in various aspects of Mandarin grammar. An idea based on alternatives and varieties of alternatives in particular – following Chierchia’s 2013 analysis of the polarity system – is pursued to account for the systematic ambiguities. The unambiguous semantics of jiu, dou and wh-expressions are maintained and ‘ambiguity’ explained through varieties of alternatives interacting with other independently motivated aspects of the structure they occur in. By examining these aspects in detail, the book will help readers gain a better understanding of a broad range of phenomena that involve these items – including exhaustivity, distributivity, questions and conditionals.

Empire and Local Worlds

A Chinese Model for Long-Term Historical Anthropology

By: Mingming Wang

Mingming Wang, one of the most prolific anthropologists in China, has produced a work both of long-term historical anthropology and of broad social theory. In it, he traces almost a millennium of history of the southern Chinese city of Quangzhou, a major international trading entrepot in the 13th century that declined to a peripheral regional center by the end of the 19th century. But the historical trajectory understates the complex set of interrelationships between local structures and imperial agendas that played out over the course of centuries and dynasties. Using urban structure, documentary analysis, and archaeological artifacts, Wang shows how the study of Quangzhou represents a Chinese template for civilizational studies, one distinctly different from Eurocentric models propounded by such theorists as Sahlins, Wolf, and Elias.

The West As the Other

A Genealogy of Chinese Occidentalism

By: Wang Mingming

Long before the Europeans reached the East, the ancient Chinese had elaborate and meaningful perspectives of the West. In this groundbreaking book, Wang explores their view of the West as other by locating it in the classical and imperial China, leading the reader through the history of Chinese geocosmologies and worldscapes. Wang also delves into the historical records of Chinese "world activities", journeys that began from the Central Kingdom and reached towards the "outer regions". Such analysis helps distinguish illusory geographies from realistic ones, while drawing attention to their interconnected natures. Wang challenges an extensive number of critical studies of Orientalist narratives (including Edward Said’s Orientalism), and reframes such studies from the directionological perspectives of an "iental" civilization. Most significantly, the author offers a fundamental reimagining of the standard concept of the other, with critical implications not only for anthropology, but for philosophy, literature, history, and other interrelated disciplines as well.

Advanced Optimal Control and Applications Involving Critic Intelligence

By: Ding Wang,Mingming Ha,Mingming Zhao

This book intends to report new optimal control results with critic intelligence for complex discrete-time systems, which covers the novel control theory, advanced control methods, and typical applications for wastewater treatment systems. Therein, combining with artificial intelligence techniques, such as neural networks and reinforcement learning, the novel intelligent critic control theory as well as a series of advanced optimal regulation and trajectory tracking strategies are established for discrete-time nonlinear systems, followed by application verifications to complex wastewater treatment processes. Consequently, developing such kind of critic intelligence approaches is of great significance for nonlinear optimization and wastewater recycling. The book is likely to be of interest to researchers and practitioners as well as graduate students in automation, computer science, and process industry who wish to learn core principles, methods, algorithms, and applications in the field of intelligent optimal control. It is beneficial to promote the development of intelligent optimal control approaches and the construction of high-level intelligent systems.

Support for Economic and Political Change in the China Countryside

An Empirical Study of Cadres and Villagers in Four Counties, 1990 and 1996

By: Samuel James Eldersveld,Mingming Shen

Samuel J. Eldersveld and Mingming Shen, the authors of this important 'two-wave' study, illuminate a unique and richly contoured view of Chinese attitudes about political and economic reform. They base their findings on the responses of a panel of over 800 mass respondents, approximately 1,300 interviews with villagers, and 250 interviews with cadres. The authors provide extensive analysis of their data and find that the level of popular support for reform and support for democratic values is surprisingly high. Of particular interest is the examination of support for political, specifically citizen, participation--contacting officials, attending party and village meetings, and voting for village committees. The authors find significant variance in mass and cadres beliefs, but Eldersveld and Shen's findings provide impressive new data for the study of economic and political development in China, and the possibility of democracy in the future.

An Illustrated Electron Microscopic Study of Crabapple Pollen

By: Wangxiang Zhang,Junjun Fan,Yinfeng Xie,Ye Peng,Ting Zhou,Mingming Zhao

This book focuses on the morphology, exine ornamentation and the associated evolutionary trends of crabapple pollen and anatomical developmental patterns. To examine the genetic evolutionary patterns of crabapple pollen traits, we constructed an interval distribution function based on characteristic pollen parameters and used a binary trivariate data matrix (Xi Yi Zi) to reflect the exine ornamentation regularity of the pollen. Our findings should inform the taxonomic status of the genus Malus. Pollen electron micrographs from a total of 26 species and 81 cultivars of Malus were recorded in this book. All 107 figures and 642 scanned pollen images constitute primary data obtained by the authors. The images in this book are clear, three-dimensional, and aesthetically pleasing. They are accompanied with text descriptions and provided a method for the indication of the different types of information that can be expected. This book can provide a reference for scientific researchers, students, and teachers in tertiary institutions that are engaged in research concerning crabapple production.

Experimental Study of the Structure and Dynamics of Cavitating Flows

By: Guangjian Zhang,Mingming Ge,Olivier Coutier-Delgosha,Desheng Zhang,Chuan Wang

Cavitation refers to a distinctive occurrence within liquid flows where there is a phase change process involving the rapid transformation of liquid into vapour in regions of low pressure, followed by collapsing or implosion when pressure rises again. The study of cavitation dates back to the late 19th century. While the term “cavitation” was originally coined by R. E. Froude and first documented by Barnaby and Thornycroft in 1895, the concept had been speculated upon much earlier by L. Euler in his 1754 theory on water turbines. However, the phenomenon of cavitation was initially observed and examined by Barnaby and Parsons in 1893. They identified that the formation of vapour bubbles on propeller blades had led to the failure of the sea trial of the British high-speed warship HMS Daring in 1885. In 1895, Parsons established the first water tunnel dedicated to cavitation research, revealing the connection between cavitation and propeller damage. The theoretical groundwork for cavitation research was laid by Rayleigh in 1917, as he successfully addressed the collapse of an empty cavity within a substantial liquid mass. Since then, numerous research work has been published on cavitating flow.

The West as the Other

A Genealogy of Chinese Occidentalism

By: Mingming Wang

Long before the Europeans reached the east, the ancient Chinese had advanced their perspectives of the west. In this groundbreaking book, Wang explores a fascinating perspective of the Other. He locates the Other in the alternating directionologies of classical and imperial China, leading the reader into a long history of Chinese geo-cosmologies and world-scapes. In his analysis, Wang also delves into the historical records of Chinese "world activities," or the journeys from being the Central Kingdom to reaching to the "outer regions," separating the construction of illusory from realistic geographies while drawing attention to their interconnected natures. Wang challenges an extensive number of critical studies of Orientalist narratives (chiefly including Edward Said's Orientalism), and reframes such studies from the directionological perspectives of an "Oriental" civilization. He challenges the assumption that the Other must be understood in the sense that has been explained in general anthropology, crucially underlining the European foundations that have shaped its traditional interpretations.
