Words and Their Stories Essays on the Language of the Chinese Revolution

Words and Their Stories Essays on the Language of the Chinese Revolution
Words and Their Stories: Essays on the Language of the Chinese Revolution By Ban Wang
2010 | 342 Pages | ISBN: 9004188606 | PDF | 4 MB
As China joins the capitalist world economy, the problems of social disintegration that gave rise to the earlier revolutionary social movements are becoming pressing. Instead of viewing the Chinese Revolution as an academic study, these essays suggest that the motifs of the Revolution are still alive and relevant. The slogan Farewell to Revolution that obscures the revolutionary language is premature. In spite of dislocations and ruptures in the revolutionary language, to rethink this discourse is to revisit a history in terms of sedimented layers of linguistic meanings and political aspirations. Earlier meanings of revolutionary words may persist or coexist with non-revolutionary rivals. Recovery of the vital uses of key revolutionary words proffers critical alternatives in which contemporary capitalist myths can be contested."

Wits Guts Grit All-natural Biohacks for Raising Smart, Resilient Kids

Wits Guts Grit All-natural Biohacks for Raising Smart, Resilient Kids
Jena Pincott, "Wits Guts Grit: All-natural Biohacks for Raising Smart, Resilient Kids"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1613736886 | 304 pages | AZW3 | 1.1 MB
Wits Guts Grit is inspired by the many questions acclaimed science writer and mother Jena Pincott explored about the natural forces that shape children's minds and health. What if we identify the microbes that support stress resilience and find ways to expose our kids to them? What if we reintroduce the mineral magnesium, deficient in almost every child's diet? Would it reduce anxiety and increase bounce back, as the science now suggests? What if memory and learning could improve measurably after eating certain foods-such as blueberries-high in plant chemicals called flavonols, or after certain forms of exercise? These and many more questions led Pincott to simple, all-natural "biohacks"-experiments inspired by current research and theory-complete with instructions on how to undertake them to help your own children strengthen their wits, guts, and grit. Explaining the science and her own experimentation with her two gung-ho daughters in a lively, accessible way, Pincott shows parents how the underlying ingredients of the traits we all want for our kids-resilience, focus, perseverance, working memory, and more-may be all around us in the natural world, ready to be harnessed.

Macarons are one of the best-looking confections and we have the French to thank for that. But did you know that it was the Italian chef of Catherine de Medici who introduced this dessert in France during the Renaissance period? That is perhaps why there are two methods of making macarons: French and Italian.
