She then tracks the relationship between the disease and China's social and political spheres (theories of contagion prompted community and statewide efforts at segregation); religious traditions (Buddhism and Daoism ascribed redemptive meaning to those suffering from the disease), and evolving medical discourse (Chinese doctors have contested the disease's etiology for centuries). Leprosy even pops up in Chinese folklore, attributing the spread of the contagion to contact with immoral women.Leung next places the history of leprosy into a global context of colonialism, racial politics, and \"imperial danger.\" A perceived global pandemic in the late nineteenth century seemed to confirm Westerners' fears that Chinese immigration threatened public health. Therefore battling to contain, if not eliminate, the disease became a central mission of the modernizing, state-building projects of the late Qing empire, the nationalist government of the first half of the twentieth century, and the People's Republic of China. Stamping out the curse of leprosy was the first step toward achieving \"hygienic modernity\" and erasing the cultural and economic backwardness associated with the disease. Leung's final move connects China's experience with leprosy to a larger history of public health and biomedical regimes of power, exploring the cultural and political implications of China's Sino-Western approach to the disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineering \u0026amp; Transportation\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineering\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45261011091646,"sku":"0231123000-3","price":58.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71-DjvZK2OL.jpg?v=1754076026"},{"product_id":"1640571167-auto_c_a_d2022_a_problem-_solving_approach-_basic_and_intermediate-28th_edition","title":"AutoCAD 2022: A Problem - Solving Approach, Basic and Intermediate , 28th Edition","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eAutoCAD 2022: A Problem - Solving Approach, Basic and Intermediate, 28th Edition book contains a detailed explanation of AutoCAD commands and their applications to solve drafting and design problems.

At A Time When America Is Seeking Ways To Sustain Its Innovative Edge, And When Societies Around The World Are Trying To Build Digital-age Economies, Jobs Stands As The Ultimate Icon Of Inventiveness And Applied Imagination. He Knew That The Best Way To Create Value In The Twenty-first Century Was To Connect Creativity With Technology. He Built A Company Where Leaps Of The Imagination Were Combined With Remarkable Feats Of Engineering. Although Jobs Cooperated With This Book, He Asked For No Control Over What Was Written Nor Even The Right To Read It Before It Was Published. He Put Nothing Off-limits. He Encouraged The People He Knew To Speak Honestly. And Jobs Speaks Candidly, Sometimes Brutally So, About The People He Worked With And Competed Against. His Friends, Foes, And Colleagues Provide An Unvarnished View Of The Passions, Perfectionism, Obsessions, Artistry, Devilry, And Compulsion For Control That Shaped His Approach To Business And The Innovative Products That Resulted. Driven By Demons, Jobs Could Drive Those Around Him To Fury And Despair.

The atomic bomb, he demonstrates, is not just the engine of American technoscientific modernity; it has produced a new cognitive orientation toward everyday life, provoking cross-cultural experiences of what Masco calls a \"nuclear uncanny.\" Revealing how the bomb has reconfigured concepts of time, nature, race, and citizenship, the book provides new theoretical perspectives on the origin and logic of U.S. national security culture. \u003ci\u003eThe Nuclear Borderlands\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately assesses the efforts of the nuclear security state to reinvent itself in a post-Cold War world, and in so doing exposes the nuclear logic supporting the twenty-first-century U.S. war on terrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261185220798,"sku":"0691120773-4","price":23.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71Vd9g05OXL.jpg?v=1754077172"},{"product_id":"1455554790-work_rules-_insights_from_inside_google_that_will_transform_how_you_live_and_lead","title":"Work Rules!: Insights from Inside Google That Will Transform How You Live and Lead","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eNew York Times Bestsellerwall Street Journal Bestseller From The Visionary Head Of Google's Innovative People Operations Comes A Groundbreaking Inquiry Into The Philosophy Of Work-and A Blueprint For Attracting The Most Spectacular Talent To Your Business And Ensuring That They Succeed.

Mastering the Ride is his follow-up book to one that put him on the map, Proficient Motorcycling, and it goes one better. For motorcyclists ready to take their rides to the next level, Mastering the Ride is an exhilarating course in skills, safety, and common sense. Hough’s writing style is straightforward and conversational, never professorial, preachy, or boring. With instructional color photographs and drawings, the book covers improving the rider’s skills of speed and passing on superslabs, mountain roads, and city streets; anticipating and handling street and road hazards, from treacherous tar snakes to lane-weaving drivers; and learning the limits of sight distances, executing quick stops at sudden hazards as well as curves. The book devotes two full chapters to the skills involved in mastering cornering, with specific advice about rolling on and off the throttle, shifting, braking, countersteering, body steering and positioning, and cornering lines.\u003cbr\u003eIn the chapter Mastering the Art of Conspicuity,” Hough recommends riders understand and employ conspicuity, that is understanding how motorcyclists and car drivers see their surroundings and getting others to see you on the road by use of hi-viz clothing, LED lights, and other gear. The key to safety rests in increased situational awarenessthe topic of the next chapterthe ability to predict how road events will unfold by thinking through the possibilities way before a potential hazard presents itself. Thanks to Hough’s direct and specific instructions to riders for what they need to know, to improve, to avoid, and to do every time they get on their bikes, this chapter and the skills it describes are nothing short of life-saving.\u003cbr\u003eIn short, Mastering the Ride is a crash course in how not to crashthat is, after all is read and done, what every motorcyclists must avoid for his own life and the lives of others on the road. As Eric Trow, a motorcycle safety journalist and instructor states on the back cover, Mastering the Ride should be required reading for every road-going motorcyclist and become the companion of any rider serious about advancing his or her road craft.” Voni Glaves, the record-setting million-mile BMW rider, is a long-time Hough fan who relied on Hough’s wisdom” back in the 1970s when the author was a columnist. The latest from David brings together his years of experience and his unique analysis to make the case for mastery in a conversational way that makes [Mastering the Ride] impossible to put down. The breadth and depth of the informationis astounding.”\u003cbr\u003eA section on the aging rider, including ways to compensate for older riders’ slower reaction times and readapting their skills, is included in the appendix, as is a travelogue of Hough’s road trips to some of his favorite locations.

During the return from the moon to earth he also conducted the first spacewalk in deep space, becoming the first human ever to see both the entire earth and moon simply by turning his head.
