Stay updated by joining facebook.com/UnderstandingChinaThroughComics Post-70s Chinese artist and entrepreneur, Liu Jing, puts China's 5,000-year history into a unique, easy-to-read comic book format -- a must for anyone seeking to understand what China is and where it came from.   Scouring pre-liberation historical accounts, the author takes readers deep into the world of mythical ancestors, influence brokers, emperors, and individuals whose ideas resonate among the Chinese today.   This book seeks to answer questions posed by new readers and old China hands alike:   * What makes the Chinese 'Chinese'? * How have the Chinese people and their culture evolved and changed over the millennia? * Why do Chinese appear genetically wired to think there should be a single, unified China? * Are Chinese people religious?  The first of a three volume set, Understanding China through Comics Vol.1 begins with the Yellow Emperor and the birth of Chinese civilization and continues through the end of the Han Dynasty -- which set the course for the culture, philosophies, and politics that still dominate China today.  New perspectives on Chinese history help explain complicated chains-of-events and uncover the driving forces behind the critical changes that shaped China. Research spans classic Chinese texts and contemporary historical works, including: 'Records of the Grand Historian' by Sima Qian, the father of Chinese history; 'History of China' by pre-liberation historian Wang Tongling; 'The General History of China' by his contemporary Lü Simian; 'The Analects' of Confucius; and historical information embedded in ancient Chinese paintings.  Understanding China through Comics includes 4 volumes: Volume 1: The Yellow Emperor through the Han Dynasty (ca. 2697 BC - 220 AD) Volume 2: The Three Kingdoms through the Tang Dynasty (220 - 907) Volume 3: The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms through the Yuan Dynasty under Mongol rule (907 - 1368) Volume 4: The Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368 - 1911)

Post-70s Chinese artist and entrepreneur, Liu Jing, continues his comic series of China's 5,000-year history in Understanding China through Comics. This second volume paints a vivid picture in answer to such questions as: * What are the origins of the ethnic Chinese? * Are Chinese people religious? * What are the major Chinese cultural heritages and how were they created? * What was China like when a centralized government fell and the empire was divided among several regional states? * When people talk about "China's great restoration" and China reclaiming its place as a world superpower, what are they referring to? * Why is there such a strong drinking tradition at Chinese business banquets? Understanding China through Comics Vol. 2 begins with the massive wars during China's Age of Division and continues through the end of the Tang Dynasty -- a period in which different races, religions and philosophies come together. They fight and learn from each other, sparking new ideas and creating a new culture which continues to define the Chinese today.

"The labyrinth of Chinese history, with its dynasties and gigantic land mass, can put off the adventurer to this exotic land. We need help to explore and explain how this country came to be. Liu Jing has already provided guides to the earlier history of this country with his illustrated comic books. He continues to lead us on this expedition to discover what historical treasures lie beneath the dust of Chinese history. In this volume we discover the vibrant life of the middle period of the China story -- the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties. This formative period was racked by wars, but at the same time, and as we watch in these pages, it produced innovation, commerce, and cultural accomplishments that defined the Chinese nation. Dive into the history of this period. You will not be disappointed." -- David M Jacobson, historian, quarter-century resident of China, foreign expert for the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Northeast Normal University, and co-founder of SinoFile Information Services, Ltd.

It has lifted over 600 million people out of poverty while half of the world - over three billion people - still live under the poverty line. The astronomical growth and the potential of China to become the next superpower has attracted wide attention. These dramatic changes haven't necessarily come by choice. Internal and external pressures, both deeply rooted in history, have compelled China to metamorphose from being a static agricultural society into a diverse modern nation. As a Beijing resident who has lived through the entire opening-up era that set the stage for today's China, I've experienced the scale and thoroughness of economic and social change. From an historical perspective, such change is irreversible. The great sacrifices and efforts of the Chinese people, both through time and in current events, have not been in vain, despite all the negative implications associated with a country growing at, as some would say, an unsustainable speed.

"History is inexorable. Needless to say Chinese history is the same. Liu Jing has continued to make this relentless process into an accessible, brilliantly illustrated work that provides us with a view to the turmoil of the latter part of Chinese history -- the Ming and Qing dynasties of China. As the fourth volume of his illustrated histories of China, we come to understand how modern China came to be. It is a history of the tug-of-wars of many players and is not to be missed." -- David M Jacobson, historian, quarter-century resident of China, foreign expert for the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Northeast Normal University, and co-founder of SinoFile Information Services, Ltd.

This book analyses the drivers of specific common pool resource problems, particularly in fisheries and forestry, examining the way in which private and public regulation have intervened to fight the common pool resource problem by contributing to the establishment and maintenance of property rights. It focuses on the various forms of regulation that have been put in place to protect fisheries and forestry over the past decades – both from a theoretical as well as from a policy perspective – comparing the concrete interaction of legal and policy instruments in eight separate jurisdictions.

The aim of the book is to lay out the foundations and provide a detailed treatment of the subject. It will focus on two main elements in dual phase evolution: the relationship between dual phase evolution and other phase transition phenomena and the advantages of dual phase evolution in evolutionary computation and complex adaptive systems. The book will provide a coherent picture of dual phase evolution that encompasses these two elements and frameworks, methods and techniques to use this concept for problem solving.
