University of Washington Press Spatial Dunhuang
Book SynopsisTrade Review"In Spatial Dunhuang, the temporal and spatial lines have been so well organized that it is still accessible to those unfamiliar with Dunhuang and/or Chinese art despite the fact that more than 20 caves are discussed in considerable detail. For specialists, some of the issues raised in this book may stimulate further academic studies such as the interrelationship between ideas of the afterlife and rituals in Dunhuang with the religious practices at Mogao. At the same time, nearby cave sites such as the Yulin Caves and the Western Caves of a Thousand Buddhas can be taken into consideration in a bigger spatial picture." * Asian Studies Review *"With a seamless blend of insights from religion, art history, literature, and archaeology, Wu Hung’s latest contribution, Spatial Dunhuang: Experiencing the Mogao Caves, stands as a pioneering scholarly endeavor. . . Overall, this richly illustrated book transforms the foundational approach of Dunhuang studies by pivoting toward the significance of space within the Mogao Caves. It caters not only to academic audiences but also to broader readerships." * H-Net Reviews *

De Gruyter Dunhuang Manuscript Culture: End of the First Millennium
Book Synopsis“Dunhuang Manuscript Culture” explores the world of Chinese manuscripts from ninth-tenth century Dunhuang, an oasis city along the network of pre-modern routes known today collectively as the Silk Roads. The manuscripts have been discovered in 1900 in a sealed-off side-chamber of a Buddhist cave temple, where they had lain undisturbed for for almost nine hundred years. The discovery comprised tens of thousands of texts, written in over twenty different languages and scripts, including Chinese, Tibetan, Old Uighur, Khotanese, Sogdian and Sanskrit. This study centres around four groups of manuscripts from the mid-ninth to the late tenth centuries, a period when the region was an independent kingdom ruled by local families. The central argument is that the manuscripts attest to the unique cultural diversity of the region during this period, exhibiting—alongside obvious Chinese elements—the heavy influence of Central Asian cultures. As a result, it was much less ‘Chinese’ than commonly portrayed in modern scholarship. The book makes a contribution to the study of cultural and linguistic interaction along the Silk Roads.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Archaeological Research on the Societies of Late Prehistoric Xinjiang, Vol 2
Book SynopsisThis book presents cutting-edge archaeological materials from Xinjiang, from the Bronze Age to the early Iron Age. Through a systematic topological study of major archaeological cemeteries and sites, it establishes chronologies and cultural sequences for three main regions in Xinjiang, namely the circum-Eastern Tianshan region, the circum-Dzungarian Basin region and the circum-Tarim Basin region. It also discusses the origins and local variants of prehistoric archaeological cultures in these regions and the mutual relationships between them and neighboring cultures.By doing so, the book offers a panoramic view of the socio-cultural changes that took place in prehistoric Xinjiang from pastoral-agricultural societies to the mobile nomadic-pastoralist states in the steppe regions and the agricultural states of the oasis, making it a must-read for researchers and general readers who are interested in the archaeology of Xinjiang.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Water and the Rainforest in Malaysian Borneo: Hydrological Research at the Danum Valley Field Studies Center
Book SynopsisThis volume synthesizes and analyzes thirty years of hydrological research in the Danum Valley Conservation Area, a lowland dipterocarp rainforest in Sabah, Malaysia. Ian Douglas explores the role of water in the rainforest ecosystem, setting out the ecological, climatological and geological context of present-day hydrological processes, soil erosion and stream sedimentation. He emphasizes the role of extreme events and natural disturbances in sediment supplies and the evolution of drainage pathways and explains the pathways of rainfall and stream sediment. Douglas then explores the impacts caused by logging, the extreme pulses of sedimentation and the effects of log removal and logging road construction, examining the effects of major storms in the 20 years after tree harvesting. Methods of minimizing logging damage to soils and streams are discussed and the effects on flora and fauns are considered.Table of ContentsChapter. 1.- Long-term hydrological research in the humid tropics.- Chapter. 2.- The forests of the Danum Valley Conservation Area.- Chapter. 3.- The Danum hydrology project: origins, aims, context.- Chapter. 4.- The regional physiographical and land management context of the hydrology of Danum Valley.- Chapter. 5.- Rainfall and its interception by the forest.- Chapter. 6.- Overland flow.- Chapter. 7.- Infiltration, soil water and pipeflow.- Chapter. 8.- Origins of stream flow.- Chapter. 9.- Sediment supply and movement on slopes.- Chapter. 10.- Water, sediment and solutes in channels.- Chapter. 11.- Periodicity of Processes (Impact of extreme events: floods and drought).- Chapter. 12.- The lessons from the natural forest.- Chapter. 13.- The disturbance caused by logging.- Chapter. 14.- Impact of logging on interception and soil water.- Chapter. 15.- Changes to erosion rates and sediment yields during and after logging.- Chapter. 16.- Logging, stream flow, stream chemistry and sediment transport.- Chapter. 17.- Extreme events and the dynamics of logged catchments.- Chapter. 18.- Conclusions on the impacts of logging at Danum.- Chapter. 19.- Mitigating the effects of logging.- Chapter. 20.- The significance of hydrological and geomorphological processes for lowland tropical rainforest ecology.- Chapter. 21.- Conclusions from the Long-Term Ecological Research on hydrology at Danum.

Cambridge University Press The Poetry of Victorian Scientists Style Science and Nonsense Cambridge Studies in NineteenthCentury Literature and Culture
Book SynopsisA surprising number of Victorian scientists wrote poetry. Many came to science as children through such games as the spinning-top, soap-bubbles and mathematical puzzles, and this playfulness carried through to both their professional work and writing of lyrical and satirical verse. This is the first study of an oddly neglected body of work that offers a unique record of the nature and cultures of Victorian science. Such figures as the physicist James Clerk Maxwell toy with ideas of nonsense, as through their poetry they strive to delineate the boundaries of the new professional science and discover the nature of scientific creativity. Also considering Edward Lear, Daniel Brown finds the Victorian renaissances in research science and nonsense literature to be curiously interrelated. Whereas science and literature studies have mostly focused upon canonical literary figures, this original and important book conversely explores the uses literature was put to by eminent Victorian scientistsTrade Review'… provides fresh perspectives on, and a thorough engagement with, the wider scientific and literary culture of the era … it is likely to become a standard point of departure for those studying the poetry of that most remarkable and multifaceted of Victorian natural philosophers, James Clerk Maxwell.' London Mathematical Society Newsletter'… does for verse what Beer's Darwin Plots (1983) did for the novel, and reveals, often compellingly, how poetry and poetics were crucial components of the working practices and intellectual activities of many of the most influential men of science in the second half of the nineteenth century … a stimulating and fascinating book.' Gowan Dawson, Journal of Victorian Culture'Daniel Brown's highly original and stimulating new book shows us that poetry mattered to Victorian scientists … Brown's scholarship is intense and impressive.' John Holmes, University of Reading'The book argues persuasively for the importance of poetry to a number of Victorian scientific figures … The Poetry of Victorian Scientists does valuable work in mapping and contextualizing the various poetic writings of these figures, and it represents a major contribution to scholarship on poetry by 19th-century scientists.'

Oxford University Press, USA Apophasis and Pseudonymity in Dionysius the Areopagite No Longer I Oxford Early Christian Studies
Book SynopsisThis is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. This book examines the writings of an early sixth-century Christian mystical theologian who wrote under the name of a convert of the apostle Paul, Dionysius the Areopagite. This ''Pseudo''-Dionysius is famous for articulating a mystical theology in two parts: a sacramental and liturgical mysticism embedded in the context of celestial and ecclesiastical hierarchies, and an austere, contemplative regimen in which one progressively negates the divine names in hopes of soliciting union with the ''unknown God'' or ''God beyond being.''Charles M. Stang argues that the pseudonym and the influence of Paul together constitute the best interpretive lens for understanding the Corpus Dionysiacum [CD]. Stang demonstrates how Paul animates the entire corpus, and shows that the influence of Paul illuminates such central themes of the CD as hierarchy, theurgy, deification, Christology, affirmation (kataphasis) and negation (apophasis), dissimilar similarities, and unknowing. Most importantly, Paul serves as a fulcrum for the expression of a new theological anthropology, an ''apophatic anthropology.'' Dionysius figures Paul as the premier apostolic witness to this apophatic anthropology, as the ecstatic lover of the divine who confesses to the rupture of his self and the indwelling of the divine in Gal 2:20: ''it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.'' Building on this notion of apophatic anthropology, the book forwards an explanation for why this sixth-century author chose to write under an apostolic pseudonym. Stang argues that the very practice of pseudonymous writing itself serves as an ecstatic devotional exercise whereby the writer becomes split in two and thereby open to the indwelling of the divine. Pseudonymity is on this interpretation integral and internal to the aims of the wider mystical enterprise. Thus this book aims to question the distinction between ''theory'' and ''practice'' by demonstrating that negative theology-often figured as a speculative and rarefied theory regarding the transcendence of God-is in fact best understood as a kind of asceticism, a devotional practice aiming for the total transformation of the Christian subject.Trade ReviewLike the best books, once one follows Stang in his exploration of Dionysios, it all seems so obvious. * Andrew Louth, Theology *The great merit of Charles Stang is to have filled a gap in Dionysian studies. * Gioacchino Curiello, Ecclesiastical History.

The Chinese University Press Crossing Borders: Sinology in Translation Studies
Book SynopsisThis edited volume investigates translations from the languages of China into the languages of Western societies, from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Rather than focusing solely on the activity of translation, the authors extend their explorations to cover the contexts within which the translators worked from different perspectives, touching on various aspects of the institutional and intellectual backgrounds that informed their writings. Studies of translation from literary Chinese into English constitute the majority of the contributions, but the volume is also illuminated by excursions into Latin, French and Italian, while the problems of translating the Naxi script are confronted as well. In addition, the wider context of the rendering of Chinese into other languages is explored through a survey of recent Japanese translation series. Throughout the volume, translation is presented not simply as a linguistic exercise but rather as a key element in world history, well worthy of further interdisciplinary investigation.Table of Contents Acknowledgements Introduction by T.

Cambridge University Press Tao Yuanming His Works and their Meaning Additional Commentary Notes and Biography Cambridge Studies in Chinese History Literature and Institutions
Book SynopsisAll the works of the Chinese poet T'ao Yuan-ming (AD 365â427) generally considered genuine have been translated here with commentary and annotation. T'ao, in the author's opinion, is of all the major Chinese poets especially concerned with personal integrity and the meaning of man's life. His poetry for this reason may be able to transcend the barriers of cultural difference. For centuries of Chinese readers, however, the image of T'ao Yuan-ming as an eccentric wine-loving recluse who embraced purity and simplicity and rejected the corruption of political society has virtually been as important as his own writing. Studies of the poet, from the Sung dynasty on, have applied a political interpretation of his work. The author believes that this approach is generally mistaken and seeks to combat it in detail. The work has been arranged in two volumes. The first, containing the translations with explanatory commentary and notes, is aimed at a wider audience than the professional. The secondTable of ContentsVolume I: Preface; Part I. The four-word poems; Part II. The 'address and answer' and the other five-word poems; Part III. Dated and other poems; Part IV. The poems in series; Part V. The fu-poems; Part VI. Historical writings; Part VII. Cautionary and sacrificial pieces; Index.
