Sinopse

Bound Feet Walk intimately explores the life of a Chinese woman navigating early 20th-century China and immigrating to America, highlighting themes of female resilience and cultural clash. The book delves into the oppressive practice of foot-binding, a tradition that physically and socially restricted women, and contrasts it with the immigrant experience in America, where Chinese newcomers faced discrimination and hardship. The narrative emphasizes the protagonist's journey from physical bondage to intellectual and emotional liberation, offering a nuanced perspective on immigrant assimilation.

 
This biography unfolds in three parts: the protagonist's early life in China, her arduous journey to America, and her efforts to establish herself and contribute to her community. Using historical research, family records, and oral histories, the book provides a comprehensive portrayal of her life and social context. It reveals how even within restrictive circumstances, the human spirit can triumph through determination and adaptability.

 
By weaving together a personal story with the broader historical narrative of Chinese immigration, Bound Feet Walk offers a compelling exploration of its themes. This book is valuable to those interested in women's history, immigration studies, and Chinese culture, presenting factual information in an engaging and accessible manner.

    Vampires and Werewolves: The...

    People have always been afraid of the dead. Since the dawn of humanity, people have both cared for those who have deceased yet also tried to keep them away. There are a myriad of legends and beliefs about the dead coming back, and one of the more persistent ones is of the vampire. 
    	Werewolves have long been a staple of popular culture. In the 19th century and 20th century, there were countless books, plays, and films about people who turned into wolves or wolf like humanoids and went on rampages. The figure of the werewolf is so familiar that people across the world are familiar with the folklore, and the beliefs that they transform during a full moon, can only be stopped with silver, and transmit their disease by biting their victims. 
    	In fact, those beliefs were not originally part of werewolf folklore, but later embellishments by artists. The belief in lycanthropy is far older and more complex than most people suspect, dating all the way back to antiquity, and werewolves were once assumed to be very real. Indeed, people were even put on trial and executed because the courts of law were convinced they could change their form and kill innocent people. For thousands of years, werewolves have represented a strange and ancient tradition that still echoes through culture to this day. 
    	This common understanding of vampires actually obscures many European and most non-European traditions of bloodsucking monsters. For example, in China, Japan, and the Middle East, there are spirits that will drain the life force of an unwary person, but these magical beings were never mortal humans. In African and Native American traditions, there are monsters that do the same, but while they are supposed to be of this Earth, they too are not human beings.

    What is expected in a thesis? Save time and follow useful advice about structure, what to write, where, why, and access research publications etc. The book empowers students by making them able to self-assess their writing at various stages, and preparing them regarding what is expected in a thesis, and what questions they will get from supervisors, peer reviewers, opponents and examiners. Without knowing what needs to be explicitly written and why, the thesis student is lost, losing time and motivation. The goal is to complete the thesis, writing with high quality and within the time frame. Both students andsupervisors are target groups for this book. What is hybrid? The book landscape is changing and the message is transmitted as an e-book, audiobook and as part of an online thesis process support system, ThesisPro.
