"Your book is wonderful. You capture the eternal in the ephemeral, the larger picture in the small incident." -Barbara Hampton, co-author of Honey for a Teen's Heart. "Hobson has a knack for pulling you through the cultural gap and introducing you to people you're glad to have met. If you're traveling to China, I can imagine no better book for reading on the trip." –Software engineer, CA. "Informative, funny, full of adventures, even suspenseful! The writing tends to draw me into each situation and look at my own reactions, so that I actually learn a little about myself." –Psychology teacher, MD. "I've already got my book club ready to put it on the reading list. There are so many themes explored, and you don't leave any stone unturned." –Math teacher, MD. "After reading I felt like I'd gone to the places the author visited, seeing and hearing the same sights and sounds. His unique ability to bring his experiences in China to life makes this book a pleasure!" –Chinese language teacher, MD.

This book offers a balanced assessment of the dynamics and consequences of the decentralization of power and resources in post- Mao China. The author argues that decentralization has increased tensions amongst ethnic groups and unleashed much competition and emulation among local governments. This book is an authoritative study of an issue that will remain highly visible on China's political agenda for the forseeable future.

"In 1981, I traveled with a group of criminal justice professionals to China - or, as I like to describe it, "30 professionals and 1 anti-professional: me!" China was just opening up to the outside world. Mao Tse Tung had died only a few years before, and China's economic boom was only just being ignited. Not only was there no smog in Beijing, there were almost no cars at all. We saw wonderful things, like the Children's Palace in Shanghai, as well as scenes as depressing as both the Beijing and Shanghai prisons were, for example, or the reform school where teenage girls sang for us, tears streaming down their faces. Beyond the glimpses we were provided into a criminal justice system that was in the process of being recreated in the wake of the destructive Cultural Revolution, this is also a memoir of what it is like to travel with 30 well-heeled Americans who not only worry that there may not be enough "official work-related" visits to justify the tax write-offs they are calculating, but who also spend, spend, spend their way through China, filled with an embarrassing sense of self-importance - quick to complain when our Chinese hosts didn't quite appreciate just how important they thought themselves to be. It is based on journals I kept daily during the trip, and therefore reads as a current travelog, replete with photographs, with a difference - it being China in 1981."

Documents 1995 UN Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. Forty three essays by men and women who attended the conference tell of their experiences and how they’ve applied what they learned at home. The words of these college presidents, students, teachers, homemakers, retirees, writers, clergy, and entrepreneurs who participated in the UN Fourth World Conference on Women document the remarkable initiative, energy, and vision of those who began and continue to coordinate the activities of Pittsburgh/Beijing ’95 and Beyond. Auth also offers background information on the three previous UN Women’s Conferences, outlines the work that has been accomplished since the 1995 conference, and the plans for implementing the Beijing Platform for Action at the local level. Her remarks and the stories she has collected offer an intimate portrayal of an historical event that was largely under-reported by popular media. Essential reading for anyone who wants to know what really happened and what they can do now.

Almost every China-centric story in leading business or political publications uses imagery and stereotypes from China's communist past. As a result, most of the multinational corporations in or entering China, although attracted by the multi-billion dollar market opportunity, exhibit a fundamental lack of trust towards the Chinese system based on old-fashioned prejudices. To Beijing and Beyond celebrates how China has evolved through the years and what this will mean for the future. In this unique, inside-out view, Sharma shows how a developing country is working towards a superior standard of livelihood for its people, highlighting a side of China that is often overlooked internationally. This book will change the "China-conversation" from one that is largely driven by ideology to one that focuses on progress and development. To Beijing and Beyond sheds light on China's wider development achievements, goals, and challenges. By analyzing what the outcomes could be it portrays how the China model is different and equally, if not more, effective than its western counterparts. Sharma tells a story of China's global development filled with facts, figures, anecdotes, and stories to guide MNCs through the misunderstandings and confusion surrounding China in this compelling yet practical book. Full of advice for multi-national corporations operating in China or planning to enter this country, the book presents a new paradigm to think about business in China.

This book examines the development model that has driven China's economic success and looks at how it differs from the Washington Consensus. China’s Development Model (CDM) is examined with a view to answering a central question: given China’s peculiar matrix of a socialist party-state juxtaposed with economic internationalization and marketization, what are the underlying dynamics and the distinctive features of the economic and political/legal/social dimensions of the CDM, and how do we properly characterize their interrelations? The chapters further analyse to what extent and under what circumstances is China's development model sustainable, and to what degree is it readily applicable to other developing countries. Based on their findings in this volume, the authors conclude that the defining feature of the CDM’s economic dimension is "Janus-faced state-led growth," and the political/legal/social dimension of the CDM is best characterized as "adaptive post-totalitarianism." The contributors illustrate that the CDM’s parameters are shown to be much less sustainable than the CDM’s outcome in developmental performance and the extent to which the CDM can be applied to other late-developers is subject to more qualifications than its sustainability.

Ten Thousand Things explores the many forms of life, or, in ancient Chinese parlance “the ten thousand things” that life is and is becoming, in contemporary Beijing and beyond. Coauthored by an American anthropologist and a Chinese philosopher, the book examines the myriad ways contemporary residents of Beijing understand and nurture the good life, practice the embodied arts of everyday wellbeing, and in doing so draw on cultural resources ranging from ancient metaphysics to modern media. Farquhar and Zhang show that there are many activities that nurture life: practicing meditative martial arts among friends in a public park; jogging, swimming, and walking backward; dancing, singing, and keeping pet birds; connoisseurship of tea, wine, and food; and spiritual disciplines ranging from meditation to learning a foreign language. As ancient life-nurturing texts teach, the cultural practices that produce particular forms of life are generative in ten thousand ways: they “give birth to life and transform the transformations.” This book attends to the patterns of city life, listens to homely advice on how to live, and interprets the great tradition of medicine and metaphysics. In the process, a manifold culture of the urban Chinese everyday emerges. The lives nurtured, gathered, and witnessed here are global and local, embodied and discursive, ecological and cosmic, civic and individual. The elements of any particular life — as long as it lasts, and with some skill and determination — can be gathered, centered, and harmonized with the way things spontaneously go. The result, everyone says, is pleasure.
