The Dragon’s Footprints: China in the Global Economic Governance System under the G20 Framework examines China’s participation in the G20; its efforts to increase its prestige in the international monetary system through the internationalization of its currency, the renminbi; its role in the multilateral development banks — the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the New Development Bank; and its involvement in global trade governance, in light of the dazzling growth its economy has experienced since its ascension to the World Trade Organization in 2001. Clearly, China has its own views on how to engage with governance bodies and what benefits it expects to reap from its participation in global economic governance. There is no doubt that China is leaving its footprint on many aspects of the international financial system through its growing engagement with and greater integration into the global economy. The Dragon’s Footprints provides an in-depth discussion of what China has gained and learned from this experience and considers the implications for its foreign policy and future economic development.

Every child feels different in some way, but Thuy feels "double different." She is Vietnamese American and she has two moms. Thuy walks home one winter afternoon, angry and lonely after a bully's taunts. Then a bird catches her attention and sets Thuy on an imaginary exploration. What if she could fly away like a bird? What if she could sprint like a deer, or roar like a bear? Mimicking the footprints of each creature in the snow, she makes her way home to the arms of her moms. Together, the three of them imagine beautiful and powerful creatures who always have courage - just like Thuy.

In this funny and imaginative salute to mischievous little kids, a young boy blames mishaps on the dragon in the closet only he can see. The dragon in the closet can be a bit fickle. One minute he’s dancing like a goof and being sweet to the little ones, and the next he’s sneaking treats out of the cookie jar and leaving dirty footprints on the carpet. The worst part is that after the dragon causes heaps of trouble, he goes invisible and leaves a little boy to answer for all his bad behavior…But did the dragon really do it?

One hope... One dragon... A world of darkness. High adventure and action awaits Lukhanus a sixteen year old dragon and his mentor-friend Bar, a knoll pack leader who has sworn to protect their ancestral territory. A world of racism and elitism dominate their land, can this naïve hatchling overcome the biases that plagues his race? Can the six common races of the continent Lemuria put aside their indifference to unite and defeat the undead plague or will the black flame of death devour all that Lukhanus has come to love and hold dear? On the dangerous journey to find the forsaken Oracle, Lukhanus and his companions discover that it envisions both hope and despair. As was foretold by the mysterious Oracle, Evil is within the heart of all creatures; will this evil consume Lukhanus as he fights to save Lemuria and the inhabitants that dwell within its boarders?
