Does the language we speak affect the way we think? This Element provides a synthesis of contemporary research on the interplay between language and cognition in speakers of two or more languages and examines variables deemed to impact bilingual acquisition and conceptualization of language-specific thinking patterns during L2 learning.

Focusing on Han Chinese migration during the Qing period, the book examines its profound social, economic, and political effects on Inner Mongolia. Yi Wang connects local historical developments to broader global movements, illustrating how Inner Mongolia became integrated into the emerging nation-state of China and subsequently into the global capitalist economy. The analysis highlights the complexities of migration and its lasting impact on regional identity and economic structures.

Featuring insights from academics, researchers, and industry experts, this book provides a comprehensive overview of fashion management. It incorporates a variety of real-life case studies, making it a valuable resource for advanced students, academics, and professionals in the field.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Beijing’s urban structure in the 20th century, analyzing essential social and economic changes in the housing sector. Focusing on the urban changes that took place under the market economy after 1978 and beyond, the book addresses the demolition of courtyard houses in Beijing’s old city, the relocation of low-income families from the old city, the government’s role regarding housing in the city, and residential segregation in Beijing. Expanding on the author’s PhD thesis at the University of Cambridge, it is illustrated with a wealth of historic photos and maps of Beijing. Presenting relevant descriptions, extensive literature and case studies, the book offers a valuable resource for students and scholars of architecture, urban studies and Chinese studies. First published in 2013 by Pace in Hong Kong, it has since been added to the libraries of many distinguished universities, including Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Columbia, Yale, Stanford, Cornell, U Penn, NYU, UC Berkeley, Hong Kong University, UBC in Canada and the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa.

This thesis focuses on magnetic reconnection processes in the boundary layer of the interplanetary magnetic cloud. Magnetic reconnection is an important and frontier topic in the realm of physics. Various physical phenomena can be observed during the reconnection process but lots of them are not fully understood. This thesis provides the first observational evidence of energetic electrons associated with magnetic reconnection in the solar wind and discusses the particle acceleration problems. In addition, after analyzing the particle flux variations in Magnetic Cloud Boundary Layer, the thesis proposes a possible new criterion for the identification of magnetic reconnection in the solar wind. These tantalizing results could be particular clues to understand the dynamical problems in magnetic reconnection processes.

Focusing on the fabrication and performance of nanometer materials, the book delves into various thermite reactions involving aluminum and metal oxide nanocomposites. It explores the impact initiation of nanostructured aluminum-magnesium alloys and investigates the reaction mechanisms of aluminum/iron-oxide composites. Additionally, the text covers the fabrication and performance of nanometer HNIW and HMX, as well as the thermodynamics and kinetics of nanometer nitramines' thermolysis, highlighting mechanisms that affect the sensitivity of nanometer RDX.

Der vorliegende Band bietet eine kritische Biographie von Constantin von Hanneken (1854-1925), einem einflussreichen preußischen Offizier im Kolonialchina. Jahrzehntelang diente er dem prominenten Politiker Li Hongzhang und war als dessen Militärberater in zentrale historische Ereignisse wie den Sino-Japanischen Krieg 1894/95 eingebunden. Später wurde Hanneken ein wohlhabender Industrieller in der Bergbaubranche und gründete ein erfolgreiches chinesisch-deutsches Gemeinschaftsunternehmen. Diese Karriere brachte ihm nicht nur Reichtum, sondern auch eine hohe soziale Stellung in der multinationalen Gesellschaft. Die Autorin hat umfangreiche Dokumente aus Archiven in China und Deutschland sowie aus privater Hand gesammelt, um Hannekens beeindruckende Laufbahn umfassend darzustellen. Er gilt als herausragendes Beispiel für westliche Akteure in der kolonialen Gesellschaft Chinas und war gleichzeitig Deutscher, Angestellter der chinesischen Regierung und Teil der multinationalen westlichen Gemeinde. Sein Verständnis von Loyalität und nationaler Zugehörigkeit musste immer wieder zwischen unterschiedlichen, oft konfliktreichen Perspektiven neu verhandelt werden. Die Studie untersucht, inwiefern Hanneken sich mit China und der multinationalen Umgebung identifizierte und wie seine Erfahrungen in China sein Verhältnis zu Deutschland beeinflussten.

Bilingvní edice milostných básní čínského umělce Wang Yi nechává připomenout hodnoty, které jsou naší dobou často zapomínány. Ilustrace hluboké obraznosti připojil Karel Malich a překladu se ujal známý sinolog Oldřich Král.
