<p><div>No website develops overnight. As often as not, a website encounters various problems and faces pressure from its business along the way. However, it is these problems and challenges that drive the progress and development of technology which will in turn promote a greater improvement of business. Currently, the traffic of Taobao.com ranks within the top 15 worldwide and top 3 in China, with its system servers expanding from one to over ten thousand.<br /> <br /> This book describes the development of the gigantic internet system that is Taobao, and the cause and effect of all the active and passive technological revolutions, told from the perspectives of the engineers. There are a great variety of stories here: a look behind-the-scenes, product experience, framework evolution, technical enlightenment, the growth of prominent figures, inside gossip, and failures as well as inspirational stories. The book is smoothly written with a humorous touch that is rarely found in technical writing, with these first-hand experiences giving the reader a sense of being part of this revolutionary development.</div></p>

<p>Taobao is China's largest consumer-to-consumer marketplace. At the time of Alibaba Group's IPO, alexa.com listed it as one of the ten most-visited websites in the world. Everyday more than 100 million people visit Taobao to buy and sell just about every product or service imaginable, accounting for an estimated 80 percent of the online retail sales in China. Taobao has become a part of everyday life for the Chinese people, who use it for everything from being up-to-date in fashion trends to buying movie tickets to groceries. Moreover, as Chinese consumers have been increasingly going in for smartphones, Taobao's mobile app has seen a huge increase in volume of sale and purchase. Taobao's website reflects the local culture and shopping habits of Chinese consumers. But, who is the vendor at Taobao? Is there any possibility of some villagers using Taobao to make money? We selected 14 Chinese villages which have been remarkably successful, using the Taobao platform. Not all these villages were developed before they started using the Taobao service. However, the internet and e-commerce have changed the lives of the farmers of these villages, just as Mr. Jack Ma had predicted in1995. We hope that such a change will encourage more and more farmers to further use the internet to develop their enterprises.</p>

<p><div>Jack Ma has made an indelible imprint not only on China's business world, but on the entire internet industry. His visionary approach to e-commerce rested on a dream that went well beyond online retail, though many of his competitors and critics failed to appreciate the breadth of his vision. In fact, Ma's goals encompassed something much grander than simply competing with other online retailers. From his earliest days, his eye was on the big prize - he wanted to compete with Walmart.<br /> <br /> This volume traces Jack Ma's story over a series of successes and setbacks, demonstrating how his signature combination of tenacity and ingenuity have consistently put him at the top of the online retail industry, which in turn transformed China's internet and business scene, as well as the daily lives of the Chinese people. The general story arc of this volume follows the path to Alibaba's listing on the New York Stock Exchange, describing each hurdle that arose along the way and telling how Ma went over - or sometimes around - those hurdles. The listing on the New York Stock Exchange immediately vaulted Ma into a position of international stardom.</div></p>

<p><div>This book examines the background and significance of the historical and cultural origins of Mohist logic, fully affirming the original classical text, the interpretation of its philosophical content, and the production of translations. It responds to different points of views held by various scholars, particularly the view prevalent in the previous century which rejected the idea that there was such a thing as Mohist logic. The question of language level is mainly embodied in the non-formal logic, or critical thinking, that is currently emerging in the West. At the meta-theoretical level, it examines theories and principles of formal logic.</div></p>

<p><div>Although psychologists have developed many theories to understand human psychology, their underlying logic is still problematic and deviates from reality, leading to limited ability to explain and predict human behavior.<br /> <br /> This book builds a self-organization model of human psychology and elaborates its core concept, psychological goals, as the key to understand human motivation and personality. Based on this psychological model, it puts forward a set of theories including the self-organizing goal theory of motivation, structural goal change as a perspective on emotion, the goal-system theory of personality, and the "Goal-Driven People" hypothesis. Research shows that this new theoretical system enjoys an apparent advantage over scattered small-scale theories in interpreting and predicting human motivation, emotions, personalities, human nature, cognition, suicide, and other psychological phenomena. This book further explores the applications of the psychological goal theory in leadership research and indicates new directions for leadership theory.</div></p>

<p><div>&nbsp;</div> <div><i>The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)</i> is an ambitious program aimed at building greater global cooperation through mutually beneficial construction, educational, and cultural projects. First proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in late 2013 and later fully implemented by the Chinese government, the BRI envisions a massive road, railway, shipping, and air transportation network that will foster freer trade between countries along the Belt and Road.<br /> <br /> Modeled on the transportation routes of the ancient Silk Road and the Maritime Silk and Porcelain Road, the BRI includes countries in East, Southeast, South, and Central Asia, Africa, and Europe. China hopes to continue to expand the scope of the initiative, opening it to any nation in the world that wants to participate in this expansive vision of free trade that is free of ideological constraints. In its fullest form, the BRI will see construction projects in developing nations that make use of both financial aid and the surplus production in more advanced countries like China, with technical expertise and know-how being provided by developed nations. At present, the greatest support for the initiative is coming from Asia and Africa, with moderate support coming from Eastern Europe.<br /> <br /> It is hoped that greater communication of the goals of the initiative, such as is provided in the essays contained in this volume, will help more developed countries in North America and Western Europe understand the goal and lend their support through technical guidance and assistance, as well as financial investments. It is nearly five years since the first announcement of the Belt and Road Initiative, and in that time many new projects have been undertaken in numerous locations. If the next five years sees similar growth, the dream of a world in which trade and cultural exchange is freer and more equitable will be much more achievable than it is today. The essays included in this collection aim to help make the agendas and goals of the BRI clearer to everyone, and to help bring the dream to fruition.</div></p>
