This book examines contemporary rural development in China from a historical perspective and contends that the economic resilience has had much to do with the rural economy, weaving together the methods of historical comparison, multilevel analysis and case study. It examines the recent transformation of Chinese agriculture and rural industry, along with related issues such as labor migration and urbanization. In addition, it is built on the author's years of field research in Wujin county in Jiangsu province and Aohan county in eastern Inner Mongolia.

Vehicle dynamics and road dynamics are usually considered to be two largely independent subjects. In vehicle dynamics, road surface roughness is generally regarded as random excitation of the vehicle, while in road dynamics, the vehicle is generally regarded as a moving load acting on the pavement. This book suggests a new research concept to integrate the vehicle and the road system with the help of a tire model, and establishes a cross-subject research framework dubbed vehicle-pavement coupled system dynamics. In this context, the dynamics of the vehicle, road and the vehicle-road...

Hu seeks to explain China's failure to establish a democratic system. He demonstrates both continuity and change in China's democratization process. Modern China regards power and wealth as primary goals and treats a strong state as a major means to these ends. Such a preference puts democracy on a back burner.

Employing a theoretical framework which consists of five factors--historical legacies, local forces, the world system, socialist values, and economic development--Hu shows that, while all of these factors were at work in all eras, each assumes a special significance in a...

In a global world, highly integrated human society is in a dark age of civilization-based chaos. We are at the historical turning point where we could either evolve to a universal brotherhood or to be destroyed by unavoidable chaos. The choice is ours-not only for policy-makers and religious leaders but also for each of us-a true appreciation of nature, humanity, and God will make a difference and create a better future for humanity. "The Declaration of Global Civilization" reveals how.

Face recognition has been actively studied over the past decade and continues to be a big research challenge. Just recently, researchers have begun to investigate face recognition under unconstrained conditions. Unconstrained Face Recognition provides a comprehensive review of this biometric, especially face recognition from video, assembling a collection of novel approaches that are able to recognize human faces under various unconstrained situations. The underlying basis of these approaches is that, unlike conventional face recognition algorithms, they exploit the...
