Felix, treasurer of Britain, having served at the court of the Imperial court itself, struggles to maintain the same elaborate standards in provincial Britain. And, cut off from Rome by the barbarian invasion of Gaul, and needing every penny to pay the army, he soon finds it impossible. Preoccupied with status and finances, he barely notices that his wily father-in-law Gratianus, with the help of Felix's sadistic wife is engineering a coup - one which embroils Felix dangerously in politics. Forced to flee for his life, Felix finally understands that lax etiquette is the least of Britain's problems¿

Drawing on original research I conducted in the late 1980s, the book argues for a critical approach to the study of children and television. It begins with critical reappraisals of previous empiricist and interpretative studies to set the ground for a different theoretical inquiry which links biography with history. The situated activity of children’s television viewing therefore has to be related to the broader historical and cultural formations in post-Mao China. By way of a methodological pluralism of questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews and observation, the book provides the reader with a thorough critical analysis of the rise of the new commercial ethic in Chinese society in general, and in the sector of media and communications in particular, at the very historical turning point of the late 1980s. Soon after that, Deng Xiaoping made his significant tour to south China, reckoning a big step forward towards further liberalization and started to form a brave new world in China ever since.

As the Western Roman Empire is fractured by barbarian invasion, ambitious rivals battle for control of Britannia in this sweeping historical novel. Britain, 405 AD. As they push through the continent, the barbarian hordes have all but separated Britannia from Rome. As treasurer of the region, Felix struggles to maintain Roman supremacy at a time when every penny is needed to fight the invading barbarians. Having served at the Imperial Court itself, he has always been loyal to the central power. But around him, dissent is quietly brewing. Preoccupied with status and finances, Felix barely notices that his wily father-in-law is engineering a coup—one which forces Felix to flee for his life. As “little emperors” spring up across the British Isles, ready to rule in Caesar’s stead, everyone must choose sides in a deadly game of power.

Short-listed for the 2009 City of Victoria Butler Book Prize Much has been made about how the New China has become an economic juggernaut in today’s world while civil liberties and basic freedoms remain constricted. We know where the aging leadership has taken and is taking China, but what about the very young? What are they like? When JoAnn Dionne arrived in Guangzho, she came prepared to live and teach elementary school in a Communist country. She expected to see soldiers in the streets, people in grey Mao suits, and lineups to buy toilet paper. Instead she found the world’s oldest country, throwing itself headlong into the future. She found traffic jams and 24/7 constructions, neon lights and smog, shopping malls and modern high-rises. And then she met the people who would live in that future – her students. Along with crisp insights into Chinese culture as seen through the eyes of a North American, Dionne provides a funny, often poignant glimpse of a nation undergoing rapid transformation.

The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine has become a landmark in the history of Chinese civilization. Written in the form of a dialogue in which the emperor seeks information from his minister Ch’I-Po on questions of health and the art of healing, it is the oldest known document in Chinese medicine. Ilza Veith’s extensive introduction and monumental translation, first published in 1949, make available the historical and philosophical foundations of traditional practices that have seen a dynamic revival in China and throughout the West. A new foreword by Linda L. Barnes places the translation in its historic contexts, underlining its significance to the Western world’s understanding of Chinese medical practice.

Excerpt from Julius Caesar: Soldier, Statesman, Emperor With little imagination a student of to-day can see many striking points of likeness between the British Empire and the Rome into which Gaius Julius Caesar was born on the 12th day of Quinctilis (since his death called July) 102 There was the same highly organised but small nucleus stretching out long tentacles into zones of unrest east and west, the same strange anomalies in the central administration - a government nominally by the people, but actually by the aristo cratic body, the same extremes of poverty and riches, and the same menace from younger nations which were beginning to covet spheres of Roman influence for the expansion their numbers and importance claimed. Rome was a' city state, a republic with a vast empire embracing Spain and parts of southern France in the West, a considerable portion of Asia Minor in the East, with Macedonia, Greece, and Illyria, and most of known Africa. Yet the ramparts of this huge empire were weak; and in the very year of Caesar's birth, the general, Marius, was called upon to repel an aggressive Germany which had forced its way through France, and, the year after, a horde which had penetrated Italy and was within a few days' march of Rome.
