    Book Description

    From the mid-16th century to the beginning of World War II, foreigners learned a great deal about China through trade contacts. This lavishly illustrated social history highlights the lives and lifestyles of the merchants, mercenaries, missionaries, adventurers and refugees who came to China during this period, set against the backdrop of China's great cities and the ancient culture of its people.
    A short commentary on the history of the period sets the scene in each chapter, allowing readers to follow the dramatic changes that took place through these turbulent years. The informative text and hundreds of images, many never published before, brilliantly capture the atmosphere of China throughout the centuries.

          Book Description

          This book intends to bridge the gap between knowledge about global warming and practical implementation in the political process of the necessary measures for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It therefore deals with climatology, economics and political science in five sections: <ul>
        • The state of scientific knowledge of climate change, the influencing factors, the man-made effects and the monitoring of GHG sources and sinks. </li>
        • The transformation of scientific results into politically achievable aims, the criteria for the allocation of the reduction goals, and the GHG inventories of European countries. </li>
        • The relevant political and economical instruments, such as voluntary approaches, the carbon/energy-tax and Activities Implemented Jointly (AIJ) and their working principles. </li>
        • The instrument of tradeable emission permits (the US Acid Rain Programme as an example) and possible designs of a system for CO<sub>2</sub> on the national and international level. </li>
        • Comparison and summaries of the efficacy, the cost-efficiency, the achievability and political acceptability of the different instruments.</li> </ul>

            Book Description

            A married couple in New York City awake one day to discover, in a plot worthy of Kafka or Orwell, that their private lives are no longer private. Even more frightening, their lives seem to bear no relation to anything they knew.

            An edgy, erotically charged information-age thriller, this new play by award-winning playwright Arthur Kopit exposes the control that computers can have over our lives, morality, even bank accounts. Acclaimed by the critics as the best new play at the 1999 Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville, it is one of the major productions in the Manhattan Theatre Club's 1999--2000 season in New York.

            "Sizzling . . . dark comedy that becomes a horrifying cautionary tale . . . the play has a lethal feedback."-- The New York Times

            "Kopit's cool topical thriller exploits technophobes' fear of the new millennium and the increasing power cybergeeks will wield at the expense of the computer-illiterate. . . . Kopit's writing is laced with mordant wit, and the central characters are subtly drawn."-- Variety
