Beschreibung

"Ming Dynasty" explores the rise and fall of one of China's most influential periods, from 1368 to 1644. Emerging from peasant rebellion against Mongol rule, the Ming emperors oversaw an era of unprecedented economic growth and cultural flourishing.Intriguingly, the book examines how the voyages of Zheng He, which demonstrated China's maritime capabilities, were abruptly halted, altering China's global trajectory. This comprehensive history also details the dynasty's lasting influence on Chinese identity.The book's approach is multifaceted, combining political, economic, and cultural analysis. It begins by detailing the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty and the ascent of the Hongwu Emperor. Chapters then systematically explore economic policies, maritime expeditions, and artistic achievements, including developments in Neo-Confucianism.The narrative culminates by examining the internal and external factors that led to the dynasty's decline, setting the stage for subsequent eras.

American Flygirl

Susan Tate Ankeny

In 1932, Hazel Ying Lee, a nineteen-year-old American daughter of Chinese immigrants, sat in on a friend's flight lesson. It changed her life. In less than a year, a girl with a wicked sense of humor, a newfound love of flying, and a tough can-do attitude earned her pilot's license and headed for China to help against invading Japanese forces. In time, Hazel would become the first Asian American to fly with the Women Airforce Service Pilots. As thrilling as it may have been, it wasn't easy. 
 
 
 
In America, Hazel felt the oppression and discrimination of the Chinese Exclusion Act. In China's field of male-dominated aviation she was dismissed for being a woman, and for being an American. But in service to her country, Hazel refused to be limited by gender, race, and impossible dreams. Frustrated but undeterred, she forged ahead and gave her all for the cause, achieving more in her short remarkable life than even she imagined possible. 
 
 
 
American Flygirl is the untold account of a spirted fighter and an indomitable hidden figure in American history. She broke every common belief about women. She challenged every social restriction to endure and to succeed. And against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Hazel Ying Lee reached for the skies and made her mark as a universal and unsung hero whose time has come.

Confessions volumes 3 and 4

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

“The smallest, the most trifling pleasure that is conveniently within my reach, tempts me more than all the joys of paradise.” 
 
Here again is the youthful, hero-worshipping Jean-Jacques – displaying an emotional immaturity that leads him into picaresque escapades in the company of transients and misfits, always ending in reunion with mother-surrogate Madame de Warens. 
 
In a literally unprecedented gesture of self-revelation, Rousseau opens Volume 3 exposing himself indecently in dark alleyways. This 1903 edition fails to appreciate the humorous strangeness of the passage and removes it to protect the reader.(Summary by Martin Geeson)

Normandy - The Sailor's Story: A...

Nick Hewitt

The first account of the Allied navies' vital contribution to the success of the D-Day landings and the Normandy campaign 
 
 
  
The Allied liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe is one of the most widely recognized events of modern history. The assault phase, Operation Neptune, began with the D-Day landings in Normandy—one of the most complex amphibious operations in history, involving 7,000 ships and nearly 200,000 men. But despite this immense effort, the wider naval campaign has been broadly forgotten. 
 
 
  
Nick Hewitt draws on fascinating new material to describe the violent sea battle which mirrored the fighting on land, and the complex campaign at sea which enabled the Allied assault. Aboard ships ranging from frail plywood landing craft to sleek destroyers, sailors were active combatants in the operation of June 1944, and had worked tirelessly to secure the Seine Bay in the months preceding it. They fought battles against German submarines, aircraft, and warships, and maintained careful watch to keep control of the English Channel. 
 
 
  
Hewitt recounts these sailors' stories for the first time—and shows how, without their efforts, D-Day would have failed.
