The Chinese overseas now number 25 to 30 million, yet the 2,000-year history of Chinese attempts to venture abroad and the underlying values affecting that migration have never before been presented in a broad overview. Despite centuries of prohibition against leaving the land and traveling and settling overseas, the “earthbound” Chinese—first traders, then peasants and workers...(展开全部)

Born in 1922, Michael Loewe attended the Perse School in Cambridge and Magdalen College Oxford. War service forced him to interrupt his residence at Oxford. Michael became part of one of the first groups of Englishmen to be trained in Japanese for the purpose of deciphering military codes. From 1942 to 1956, he worked as a specialist officer in the British Government Communicat...(展开全部)

"An accessible and engaging exploration of the mysteries of time." -Brian Greene, author of The Elegant Universe Twenty years ago, Stephen Hawking tried to explain time by understanding the Big Bang. Now, Sean Carroll says we need to be more ambitious. One of the leading theoretical physicists of his generation, Carroll delivers a dazzling and paradigm-shifting theory ...(展开全部)

Time moves forward, not backward-everyone knows you can't unscramble an egg. In the hands of one of today's hottest young physicists, that simple fact of breakfast becomes a doorway to understanding the Big Bang, the universe, and other universes, too. In From Eternity to Here, Sean Carroll argues that the arrow of time, pointing resolutely from the past to the future, owes its...(展开全部)
