On May 4, 1919, thousands of students protested the Versailles treaty in Beijing. Seventy years later, another generation demonstrated in Tiananmen Square. Climbing the Monument of the People's Heroes, these protestors stood against a relief of their predecessors, merging with their own mythology while consciously deploying their activism. Through an investigation of twentieth-century Chinese student protest, Fabio Lanza considers the marriage of the cultural and the political, the intellectual and the quotidian, that occurred during the May Fourth movement, along with its rearticulation in subsequent protest. He ultimately explores the political category of the "student" and its making in the twentieth century. Lanza returns to the May Fourth period (1917-1923) and the rise of student activism in and around Beijing University. He revisits reform in pedagogical and learning routines, changes in daily campus life, the fluid relationship between the city and its residents, and the actions of allegedly cultural student organizations. Through a careful analysis of everyday life and urban space, Lanza radically reconceptualizes the emergence of political subjectivities (categories such as "worker," "activist," and "student") and how they anchor and inform political action. He accounts for the elements that drew students to Tiananmen and the formation of the student as an enduring political category. His research underscores how, during a time of crisis, the lived realities of university and student became unsettled in Beijing, and how political militancy in China arose only when the boundaries of identification were challenged.

In this engaging book Matthew Johnson looks 'behind the castle gate' to discover the truth about castles in England at the end of the Middle Ages. Traditional studies have seen castles as compromises between the needs of comfort and of defence, and as statements of wealth or power or both. By encouraging the reader to view castles in relation to their inhabitants, Matthew Johnson uncovers a whole new vantage point. He shows how castles functioned as stage-settings against which people played out roles of lord and servant, husband and wife, father and son. Building, rebuilding and living in a castle was as complex an experience as a piece of medieval art. Behind the Castle Gate brings castles and their inhabitants alive. Combining ground-breaking scholarship with fascinating narratives it will be read avidly by all with an interest in castles.

FOLLOW THE GLOBAL ADVENTURES OF A GAY SAILOR AND HIS CREW AS THEY DISCOVER THE WORLD AND THEMSELVES. How do some people manifest their dreams and make them a reality? What are the secrets and characteristics that allow these people to go out and entirely change their lifestyles, abandon their careers and live a life of adventure, full of challenges and uncertainties and become better people for it? Don't we all entertain ideas of completely reinventing our lives, of having a chance to do it differently and by our own rules? At 46, and with his faithful crew aboard Julia, Captain Larry Jacobson fulfilled his childhood aspirations to become a world-class sailor and circumnavigate the globe. To do so, however, he had to face and overcome his fears, anxieties and insecurities, not only for himself, but also as a captain responsible for the lives of others. The namesake boy behind the gate is Larry himself, a passionate romantic who, since the age of 13, had fantasized discovering what's out there in the greatsense of the word. Rather than contemplate what might be, the author reveals how he made that crucial first step, the one that forever committed him to not just fantasize, but act upon his ideas and truly live to the fullest. His story carries the reader through trials, tribulations and moments of doubt as he alters everything in his life and follows through on the dream. Willing to risk all, he leaves a highly successful career, a business he created, his business and life partner of 20 years, and a comfortable lifestyle to sail into the unknown. For the following six years, his home is a floating 50-foot, self-contained environment that not only supports he and his crew, but also challenges them to face the

In 1971 a young French ethnologist named Francois Bizot was taken prisoner by forces of the Khmer Rouge who kept him chained in a jungle camp for months before releasing him. Four years later Bizot became the intermediary between the now victorious Khmer Rouge and the occupants of the besieged French embassy in Phnom Penh, eventually leading a desperate convoy of foreigners to safety across the Thai border. Out of those ordeals comes this transfixing book. At its center lies the relationship between Bizot and his principal captor, a man named Douch, who is today known as the most notorious of the Khmer Rouge’s torturers but who, for a while, was Bizot’s protector and friend. Written with the immediacy of a great novel, unsparing in its understanding of evil, The Gate manages to be at once wrenching and redemptive.
