Synopsis

"Life in China" presents an authoritative exploration of how geography, culture, and modernization shape daily existence for 1.4 billion people in the world's most populous nation. The book uniquely bridges Western perspectives with the complex realities of contemporary Chinese society, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how traditional values intersect with rapid modernization.

 
Through careful analysis of demographic data and sociological studies, it reveals fascinating insights into China's diverse regional characteristics, from the bustling eastern seaboard to the remote western territories. The text progresses logically from fundamental geographic and demographic foundations through to cultural practices and social institutions, examining three core aspects: the physical landscape, social structures, and economic-technological transformation.

 
Notable findings include the distinct patterns of urban development across different regions and the dynamic tension between collective cultural values and growing individualism among younger generations. The book's interdisciplinary approach demonstrates how physical geography influences economic development and shapes social practices across China's vast territory.

 
Using clear language and relevant examples, this comprehensive work combines quantitative data with qualitative studies to present a multi-faceted view of Chinese society. Each chapter features case studies from different regions and social strata, making complex concepts accessible to general readers while maintaining academic rigor. The book proves particularly valuable for international business professionals, educators, and students seeking to understand China's role in the global community beyond common generalizations and stereotypes.

The Psychology of Good and Evil

Catherine Sanderson

Have you met a true hero? We’ve all read about truly bad people. Why do some people do good while others choose evil? Are we responsible for our actions? What impact do genetics and upbringing have on moral choices? What does science show us about altruism, prejudice, authority, and group influence? You will explore these and many other provocative questions in Professor Catherine A. Sanderson’s 15-lecture audio course, The Psychology of Good and Evil. An award-winning psychology professor and celebrated author, Prof. Sanderson is known for her deep knowledge of current research as well as her humorous and engaging teaching style. This course is characteristic of her oeuvre: well-crafted, carefully articulated, thoroughly researched, and targeted to our historical moment. Throughout the course, Prof. Sanderson alludes to the social ills and global conflicts that you hear about on the nightly news. Her elucidation of research from the fields of psychology, biology, and neuroscience will also help you put names to the positive and negative behavioral phenomena you’ve experienced in your own life. Early on, you’ll learn how scientists define the notions of good and evil—concepts that are prone to oversimplification. From there, you’ll explore complex and fascinating questions about the predictors of such behavior. The knowledge you’ll glean this course will help you better understand yourself and the society in which you live.This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.

Safety and Epilepsy - An...

Edmonton Epilepsy Association

There is an increased risk of injury in people with epilepsy. 
Seizures can present as a sudden fall, blank stare, confusion, uncontrolled movements, diminished awareness, odd sensations, a convulsion, or laboured breathing. 
For some people with epilepsy, their seizures pose a minimal risk of injury. For others, their seizures may require extra precaution to avoid injury. For example, seizures that occur without warning, involve falls, loss of awareness, or confusion after the seizure could result in injury. Precautions may be necessary depending on the activity. 
Assessing the risks associated with the type and frequency of the seizures may require implementing safety procedures.

Digital Capitalism and...

Sabine Pfeiffer

Are robots taking away our jobs? Those who ask this question have misunderstood digitalisation - it is not an industrial revolution by other means. Sabine Pfeiffer searches for the actual novelties brought about by digitalisation and digital capitalism. In her analysis, she juxtaposes Marx's concept of productive force with the idea of distributive force. From the platform economy to artificial intelligence, Pfeiffer shows that digital capitalism is less about the efficient production of value, but rather about its fast, risk-free, and permanently secured realisation on the markets. The examination of this dynamic and its consequences also leads to the question of how destructive the distributive forces of digital capitalism might be.
