Lu Jiang goes to the United States to study in 1989 when her marriage breaks up. On the airplane, she happens to sit by a sad Chinese writer, also a political exile. Their story starts to develop and ends a decade later when he dies in her arms. In New York, she meets a group of Chinese students who become her lifelong friends. Two years later, Lu Jiang returns to China to teach and to bring up her son. When routing through Europe, Lu Jiang meets an ambitious man in London whose aspiration is to build a strong and prosperous China. Their friendship evolves into love after they meet again in China. Yet their relationship brings them more pain than they can possibly foresee. Years later, many of her friends return to China, too, and become pillars of society. This book tells the life stories of Lu Jiang and her friends over a span of thirty plus years. Tasting all flavors that life has to offer, they age as they witness in pride the advancement of their motherland, which their generation helps to bring about.

Gary Huang recounts the unlikely true story of how a bullied, self-doubting son of a politically disgraced Chinese family broke away from his home country and built a new life and identity in the USA. From Wushan to Washington, Gary relates how he spent sixty years split between the world's preeminent Eastern and Western societies--as a rice-growing peasant and a graduate student, as a People's Liberation Army factory worker and a white-collar professional, as a son and a father--and the series of breakaways that took him from being an indoctrinated victim of communist persecution to a parent and a citizen in an open society.BREAKAWAY offers a panoramic view of three generations of the Huang family, a drop of water shining and flowing in the turbulent river of modern Chinese and American history. In the rural hinterlands of Wushan, Dazhou, Gary's father, was an underground communist revolutionary with rebellion in his bloodline who was condemned in Mao Zedong's anti-intellectual purges in the 1950s, when Gary and his siblings were compelled to hate their own father and worship Mao. Decades later, Gary chose to make a leap to join an unfamiliar and radically different society, where he would struggle to understand his perception of American racial prejudices and political correctness, all while dealing with successes and failures at work and trying to handle the puzzle of raising two Chinese-American sons.Combining an intimate look at one family's history with a unique immigrant's perspective on the vast evolution of modern China, BREAKAWAY is a nuanced and candid exploration of one man's lifelong quest to establish a renewed self-identity in a new world while maintaining his deep affection for his native land and people.

Published in 1999. Analyzing and chronicling the continued development of key information, communication and fast transport networks at a global and regional level, this book looks at the transition to an information-based economy, and its urban impacts, at a global, regional and city level. The book outlines the change by defining it as the third great societal transition in the history of human settlement, and points to key factors that have fuelled progress. These include the growth of global telecommunications and fast transport networks; the coming together of information and communication technologies and their links to transport and land use; the shift to information and knowledge as a resource base for new industries; the increasing movement of people and information; the emergence of cities as economic entities, network nodes, and centres for generating, exchanging and processing information, and, most significantly, the competition among cities for these new key elements of of the urban economy.

First, it describes the life of a mainstream, Christian family living in Egypt. The agony involved for the head of the family (the author) to make the decision of taking his wife and three young daughters from the safety of living among family and friends that provided a hedge against the unknown and uncertainty of moving to another country and a new culture. It describes how Divine intervention tilted the balance in favor going ahead with the decision to move to America. The book entails several circumstances that clearly manifested God's desire for us to leave the country in which we had lived most of our lives. Second, the book describes how the basically Islamic, Arabic culture of the Middle East compares with the essentially Christian culture of the United States. It deals with the subtle underlying teachings of Islam that affect social and spiritual lives of people living in Muslim-majority societies. The book describes how deeply-ingrained ideas can enhance or prohibit advancement of society.

This book is a very timely account of the legal, economic and political consequences for border states caught in the current tug-of-war between the West and Russia.The Ukraine crisis of 2014 focused policy-makers’ attention on a geographical area full of dangers that had gone relatively unnoticed since the breakup of the Soviet Union, namely the security dynamics of the border states of Eastern Europe and the Black Sea. Twenty-five years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a strong Russia returns alternatively threatening and cajoling, but at risk itself of suffering economic injury from western reprisals over its nostalgia for the map drawn at Yalta. That conflict, which hotted up over the Ukraine, was soon being played out over - and in the air space over - Syria and Turkey, while the border states themselves are likely to be drawn into the European refugee crisis and have the potential, after the 2015 Paris atrocities, to be breeding grounds for international terrorists. This groundbreaking book contains prescient warnings that must be heeded by leaders and diplomats on both sides of the East-West divide.

As the political and ideological atmospheres in Central and Eastern Europe have recently changed and entered a transition period, a need has arisen for new models for the formation, development, and establishment of East-West business relationships. East-West Business Relationships is a dynamic work offering a two-dimensional sample--of both the companies and their countries--of East-West Business relations. The book covers topics including joint ventures, relationship marketing, networks, and export behavior. It offers new insights into East-West business relations by: basing its contents upon research conducted by teams from the Unites States, Japan, Sweden, and Finland which allows comparisons between multinationals of different origins. providing a testing ground for new ways of doing business, adjusted to the environments of individual countries. increasing knowledge of critical issues in the business relationship from both the Western and Eastern partner's viewpoint. focusing on the formation and development of East-West business relationships specifically during the transition period. Most chapters in East-West Business Relationships apply a qualitative approach using case study methods. This methodology is unique in the present context of East-West business as it allows an examination of the whole management process of the formation and development of business relationships, providing a rich, in-depth analysis of the why’s and how’s of these relationships. It suggests that more understanding of the experiences, perceptions, and attitudes of East European firms must be gained in order to diminish the problems, a huge number of which are simply a result of the misunderstanding of the Eastern counterpart, faced by Western firms in Eastern Europe. This volume serves as a superior reference for academics and business managers interested in advancing their understanding of East-West business relations. It may also serve as valuable reading material for advanced courses in international marketing or business operations in Eastern Europe.
