No markings throughout:\n'One of the most wonderful books that I have read for years .. written in a beautiful, restrained but powerful style' Product Description\nWang tells the story of her adolescence during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, much of it spent with her mother in a re-education camp. There, her secret teachers were some of China's foremost thinkers who helped her distinguish truth from propaganda, and her refuge from reality was a pond, her Lily Theatre.

In the radical atmosphere of the Cultural Revolution, Lian's family has lost their prominence and is considered beneath contempt. Just as Lian forms a friendship with Kim, a reviled outcast of the third caste, ironically, the highest class by Mao's decree, Lian's father is transferred to a far-off province, and her mother, a historian, is forced into a reeducation camp. When Lian becomes ill, her headstrong mother secures permission to take Lian with her to the prison camp. There, despite the grueling conditions, Lian has the educational opportunity of a lifetime: Several of the nation's leading scholars, all prisoners of the regime, teach her lessons she would never have learned at school. In the camp, with no contemporary to speak to, she finds a place to repeat her politically condemned lessons and thus discovers her own voice, a place she calls "the Lily Theater." Returning from the camp to Kim, Lian struggles to reconnect with her friend. But their fierce closeness cannot alter the rigid caste system still reigning in Communist China, and their lives turn as chaotic as their turbulent country. With unflinching honesty, Lulu Wang captures the coarse reality of Maoist China, startlingly offset by the deeply moving story of two girls who fight the odds to preserve their friendship. Winner of the Nonino International Prize for Literature in 1999, THE LILY THEATER is being published abroad in fourteen countries (Australia, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, UK).

The Lily Theater: A Novel of Modern China

Literary

Nan A. Talese

The Lily Theater is a strikingly original debut novel-an international literary sensation-based on the author's experience growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution. When twelve-year-old Lian Shui accompanies her mother to reeducation camp, no one imagines that Lian will receive an education. But detained along with her mother are some of China's greatest thinkers and they take an interest in young Lian. She in turn delivers lectures of her own to the creatures inhabiting a pond she dubs "The Lily Theater." These ideas inform her life when she returns to school and reunites with her best friend Kim, a peasant girl through whom Lian ultimately learns about the painful failings of Mao's teachings-and of life.

This monograph offers comprehensive descriptions of recent investigations on the development and biomedical applications of electromagnetic (EM ) induction imaging which enables scientists and engineers to use EM imaging techniques to develop medical diagnostic and radiotherapy instruments. This book focus on the following areas: - Chapter 1 reviews various medical screening and sensing approaches for cancer detection. Imaging techniques and their implementation systems, advantages and challenges are presented. Furthermore, biosensing and biomarker techniques have been introduced for various cancer markers detection. - Chapter 2 summaries several EM induction imaging techniques, including theory, apparatus, medical applications, and challenges. - Chapter 3 introduces a new two dimensional (2D) holographic electromagnetic induction (HEI ) imaging approach and measurement apparatus, which enables the scientists and engineers to use EM signals for diagnostic applications. Serval biomedical application examples of the proposed 2D HEI approaches have been presented, including the dielectric object, brain stroke detection, and lung cancer detection. - Chapter 4 presents the development of three dimensional (3D) HEI approach and its feasibility for brain stroke detection. The chapter also presents imaging algorithm, numerical system, simulation validations, and results of the proposed 3D HEI . - Chapter 5 aims to apply a new compressive sensing technique to solve the conventional EM imaging such as microwave imaging problems including super-resolution and fusion of images. This chapter presents a compressive sensing-based microwave imaging approach for rapid diagnosis of dielectric inclusions embedded in a multilayer object. - Chapter 6 reports the development of a radio frequency antenna for microwave liver tumor ablation. - Chapter 7 concludes the book and discussions of future research directions of EM induction imaging-based techniques.

Complete and comprehensive reference on the principles of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques using pressure oscillation Pressure Oscillation in Biomedical Diagnostics and Therapy presents key findings in imaging, diagnostics, and therapies using high and low frequency pressure waves in a concise and easy-to-understand way, focusing primarily on the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems that utilize acoustics (mechanical wave motion). The work provides basic background in relevant acoustic theory as well as specific technical information associated with modern medical applications. Low frequency acoustics (pressure oscillation) and some aspects of ultrasound (radiation force) are also reviewed. The principles in the work can be extended to include other areas relating to materials and metal diagnostics. To allow for maximum reader comprehension regardless of current expertise on the subject, each chapter includes a brief history, current developments, and practical applications of the topic covered within. Furthermore, all chapters are based on engineering and physiological principles to deliver practical technologies. Sample topics covered in the work include: <ul> <li>Fundamental principles of pressure oscillation (PO), discussing the basic principles of pressure oscillation and how they can be formulated into mathematical equations</li> <li>PO in imaging techniques, discussing the basic principles of converting pressure oscillation to a tool in biomedical imaging</li> <li>Lung mechanics, discussing how each part of the lung is associated with various diseases and how PO can target these parts</li> <li>Asthma, discussing the basic concepts of asthma, the importance of airway smooth muscle (ASM), and dynamic behavior of ASM</li> </ul> Pressure Oscillation in Biomedical Diagnostics and Therapy links pressure oscillation (PO) and biomedical diagnostics and therapy for scholars and practitioners. It is an essential resource for all professionals who wish to be on the cutting edge of treating lung diseases such as obstructive sleep apnea, asthma, and respiratory distress syndrome.

One of Madame d'Aulnoy's most well-known fairy tales is closely retold through cinematic visuals using sculptural illustration. Each illustration is hand-sculpted in clay and brought together through photography to bring the story of a young princess's hardships against real and magical obstacles to life. The Blue Bird is a tale of true love, misunderstandings, and triumph against impossible odds through perseverance and faith.
