Book Description
"For approaching two centuries, the images on postage stamps have been used to convey messages from the government of the day to the general public. Science has been used to enhance those messages for the past nine decades. In this book, I explore the ways in which science and scientists have been portrayed on stamps and look at the ideas and, in some cases, the propaganda that underpins them."--Page 1.

Book Description
The Reform and Opening-up of China since the late 1970s has not only transformed the economic and political situation of the country but also transformed the Chinese film industry. This volume focuses on the 40 years of the history of Chinese film in the post-Mao era. As all aspects of film production, distribution, and exhibition have been commercialized, Chinese film has become an industry of immense scale and has grown by leaps and bounds. Meanwhile, contemporary Chinese film is marked by a new zeitgeist, with Chinese film closely integrated with Chinese society and the economy. The author argues that the Chinese film industry clearly stands at a turning point where the future of Chinese film and the way to further awaken, change, and shape film production have become important issues worth consideration in contemporary film history. The book will be an essential reading for scholars and students in film studies, Chinese studies, cultural studies and media studies, helping readers to develop a comprehensive understanding of Chinese film.

Book Description
As Dr Needham's immense undertaking gathers momentum it has been found necessary to subdivide volumes into parts, each to be bound and published separately. The first part of Volume 4, already published, deals with the physical sciences; the second with the diverse applications of physics in the many branches of mechanical engineering; and the third will deal with civil and hydraulic engineering and nautical technology. With this part of Volume 4, then, we come to the application by the Chinese of physical principles in the control of forces and in the use of power; we cross the frontier separating tools from the machine. We have already noticed that the ancient Chinese concept of chhi (somewhat similar to the pneuma of the Greeks) asserted itself prominently in acoustics; but we discover here that the Chinese tendency to think pneumatically was also responsible for a whole range of brilliant technological achievements, for example, the double-acting piston-bellows, the rotary winnowing-fan, and the water-powered metallurgical blowing-machine (ancestor of the steam-engine); as well as for some extraordinary insights and predictions in aeronautics.

Book Description
The Yi Jing, I Ching, or Book of Change or Fortune Telling, is an ancient Chinese oracle that has been consulted in times of trouble for thousands of years. It was used as a guide and source of wisdom by the emperors, helping them decide the difficult issues of statecraft; and later on by Sages and Philosophers. It was both a source and repository of philosophical insight for the Chinese, even as a part of Chinese Astrology or Zi Wei Dou Shu. Both of the major Chinese philosophical traditions, Taoist and Confucians alike, have contributed to its development. A few centuries ago, it became popular among the mass and its popularity is growing fast in many countries. Future is always dark and unknown, and man has always been eager to know the future beforehand. ‘Chinese Astrology and Fortune Telling’ is a great and unique way of knowing and predicting future. This book fulfills the need and demand. It will make simple: both the subject and knowledge of the future, that look complex and uncommon.

Book Description
I hear people say, “Why don’t you write a book about the things you have experienced, the things that have caused you to choose the way of the higher kingdom?” After much prayer and seeking the heart of God, I feel that I don’t have the right to die without sharing what the Lord has done in my life. The way my wife and family have had to cope and adapt to a vocation has not been easy, to say the least, and the way God has shaped my life and character I hope can be uplifting to many. I have often thought that all the sacrifices we have had to make as a family were too much. Then I thought of Jesus and what He sacrificed for us: His life. This continues to be the major motivation behind our ministry. Most of the battles to be reported have taken place in China (1983–1996), but the next 190 illustrated pages also include a postscript covering highlights of other victories He has led me on through Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Ukraine, Myanmar, and Africa. Please know that this entire account is simply the editing of many logs from the Lord’s global leading. The testimonies I share are not exaggerated memories but unvarnished personal experiences of how the Holy Spirit did lead me and other Christian volunteers into enemy territory, bringing His light into the darkness. Each Christian has an obligation to record the significant incidents. As you read this book, I hope it inspires you to be a partaker in God’s divine Word and wonders.
