Chiu Kow erlebte 100 Jahre südostasiatische Zeitgeschichte. Minenarbeit in der Kindheit, die Opiumkriege, die Bauernaufstände in China und der 2. Weltkrieg sind nur einzelne Stichworte, die erkennen lassen, dass dieser Mann viele harte Zeiten durchlebt hat. Trotz alledem lenkte ihn seine Kampfkunst, das Hung Gar Kung Fu, immer auf die rechtschaffene Seite des Lebens. In Hong Kong brachten ihm sein medizinisches Know How und sein Kampf gegen die Triaden den Namen "Held der Strasse" ein. Seine kämpferischen Fähigkeiten liessen ihn nicht nur überleben und bestehen, sondern schlugen eine Brücke zur heutigen Zeit, indem er das Nan Chuan ins moderne Wushu brachte und sensationelle Hung Gar Meister ausbildete, die sein traditionelles Erbe in die Gegenwart transferieren. Lesen Sie diese faszinierende Lebensgeschichte, die mit über 150 Bildern phantastisch dokumentiert ist.

This study examines the Huai Hai Campaign as an example of operational-level warfare as described in the 2001 version of U.S. Army Field Manual 3-0, Operations. It also examines the campaign from the perspective of the military thought contained in the ancient Chinese military classic, The Art of War, and the Communist operational doctrine in effect at the time of the campaign. What emerges is a picture of what operational art can contribute to warfare. Communist commanders consistently maintained an awareness of the war situation as a whole and continually ensured that the objectives of their military operations were linked to strategic goals. The study shows that Su Yu, the acting commander of the East China Field Army, was an excellent practitioner of operational art and a general who was willing to speak out against military operations that would not contribute to achieving political, social, or economic goals. The study contains background material on the Communist mili-tary forces that fought the campaign and the commanders who led them in the field. Using messages sent between various Communist headquarters, the study describes and analyzes the operational decisions that were made. Much of this material has not appeared before in English. This enables readers to gain a fresh appreciation for the professional competence of military men who were among the founding generation of the People's Liberation Army and later played significant roles in building the military strength of the People's Republic of China.

The forms taken by scientific writing help to determine the very nature of science itself. In this closely reasoned study, Charles Bazerman views the changing forms of scientific writing as solutions to rhetorical problems faced by scientists arguing for their findings. Examining such works as the early Philosophical Transactions and Newton's optical writings as well as Physical Review, Bazerman views the changing forms of scientific writing as solutions to rhetorical problems faced by scientists. The rhetoric of science is, Bazerman demonstrates, an embedded part of scientific activity that interacts with other parts of scientific activity, including social structure and empirical experience. This book presents a comprehensive historical account of the rise and development of the genre, and views these forms in relation to empirical experience.

The popular and distinctive features are the use of figures, tables and illustrative case examples which have been further enhanced with additional case examples from the classical literature, autobiographical narratives and fiction. New section headings provide firmer thematic unity to the content Check boxes summarize important points such as classification of particular areas Additional examples of psychopathology are included which are drawn from a wide source including fiction, autobiography and clinical textbooks Includes an extended range of abnormalities, including those which have previously been neglected, such as alloaesthesia, palinaptia, teleopsia, pelopsia, akinetopsia, palinopsia, and paraprosopia Fully updated description of the theoretical aspects of memory and its disturbance Fully integrated neuropsychological concepts of imagery and internal mental representations in the chapter on abnormalities of perception
