Beschreibung

Chinese Inventions explores the profound impact of China's technological innovations on world history, focusing on paper, gunpowder, the compass, and printing. These inventions revolutionized communication, warfare, navigation, and knowledge dissemination. The book argues that these key technologies, originating in Chinese civilization, accelerated global progress and modernization, challenging Eurocentric views of technological advancement. For instance, the invention of paper not only transformed record-keeping but also paved the way for widespread literacy.

 
The book examines the genesis and early development of these inventions within China, detailing the processes involved in their creation and refinement. It then traces the routes through which these technologies spread westward, analyzing their transformative impact on European societies. The structured approach allows readers to understand how gunpowder changed warfare, the compass enabled exploration, and printing facilitated the Renaissance and Reformation.

 
By using historical texts, archaeological findings, and secondary sources, Chinese Inventions presents a well-supported account of China's contribution to global technology and cultural exchange.

    The power of hashtag activism became clear in 2011, when #IranElection served as an organizing tool for Iranians protesting a disputed election and offered a global audience a front-row seat to a nascent revolution. Since then, activists have used a variety of hashtags to advocate, mobilize, and communicate. In this book, Sarah Jackson, Moya Bailey, and Brooke Foucault Welles explore how and why Twitter has become an important platform for historically disenfranchised populations, including Black Americans, women, and transgender people. 
     
     
     
    The authors describe how such hashtags as #MeToo, #SurvivorPrivilege, and #WhyIStayed have challenged the conventional understanding of gendered violence; examine the voices and narratives of Black feminism enabled by #FastTailedGirls, #YouOKSis, and #SayHerName; and explore the creation and use of #GirlsLikeUs, a network of transgender women. They investigate the digital signatures of the "new civil rights movement"—the online activism, storytelling, and strategy-building that set the stage for #BlackLivesMatter—and recount the spread of racial justice hashtags after the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and other high-profile incidents of killings by police. Finally, they consider hashtags created by allies, including #AllMenCan and #CrimingWhileWhite.

    Americans are loud. Amsterdam equals sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Mexicans are lazy and Germans are boring, but punctual. Paris is romantic, Wuhan infectious, Ukrainians heroic, and New Zealand untouched.  
    This is the way people around the world think about cities, regions and countries and the communities that live there; through cliches and stereotypes. It can be frustrating and hindering trade, diplomacy, investment, tourism, or talent attraction. Many believe that such image problems can be resolved with advertising campaigns, but the classic tourism promotion model is broken and insufficient. This book explains what works and what doesn’t when it comes to improving the reputation of cities, regions, and countries. It does so without the use of jargon and with reference to numerous case-studies. The book primarily aims to inspire readers and offer them a broad overview of an issue in modern society that is of interest and relevance to all of us: the reputation of our communities.

    This raw and unflinching narrative delves into the inner world of an Australian midwife, her professional journey, recounting genuine experiences of empowering women to make choices and confronting a system that resists change. From homebirth scenes to the shadowy hallways of a metropolitan hospital amid the pandemic, this is a story marked by passion, burnout, peaks and valleys, tears and triumphs. The Midwife Crisis is an unfiltered emotional journey, interwoven tales of birth and loss, encapsulating the joy of bringing life into the world along with the profound love and heartbreak intrinsic to the midwifery profession. 
    Unravelling the challenges and rewards of a life perpetually on call, where the comfort of a warm bed is sacrificed to assist a labouring woman. This modern-day tale invites readers on a rollercoaster journey of achieving success, only for it to vanish in an instant. It's the chronicle of an individual driven by passion and a vision for woman centred care, navigating the complexities of her beloved profession. 
    RIVETING! Kelli lifts the veil on what happens when policy comes before people and vividly exposes the humanitarian crisis currently faced by the Australian birth industry. I was hooked on every word!
