From Confucius to Xi Jinping

From Confucius to Xi Jinping

Willy Lam

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
This book analyzes Chinese politics, particularly the rule of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping, through an examination of the country’s political ideology.This book succinctly covers the DNA of Chinese politics through the philosophies of sages in China’s first liberalization period during the Warring States epoch, principally those of Confucius, Mencius, Lao Zi, Zhuang Zi, Shang Yang and Han Fei. With an appreciation of these traditional ideologies, this book displays how Chinese political philosophy (which incorporates elements of Confucianist and especially Legalist thinking) has influenced ideas and policies from as early as the Qin and Han dynasties through to the Qing dynasty and even to the current day. Highlighting the controversies revolving around the flowering and contention of beliefs and isms during China’s second liberalization in the Republican Period (1912-1949), this book reveals how and why this led to the repression of the CCP era under dictators ranging from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping.Revealing how Chinese political and philosophical legacies impact the development of ideology and policies of CCP leadership, this book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Chinese politics, Chinese history, and international relations.

In the bleak alternate near future New York of 2025, Ellen, an over-educated, under employed delivery girl gets pulled into the mob controlled underworld of illicit SHIFT racing in the twisted maze of subway tunnels beneath the city.Economic and environmental decline has intensified and the gap between rich and poor has become an untenable powder-keg. An impulsive act against the corrupt protectionist thugs on her street begins her journey towards understanding the nature of her city and its true masters. Sordid teen years spent joyriding in stolen cars are now an advantage as she enters a racing league where dangerous underworld factions recreate the bloody Circus Maximus using high-tech miniaturized aircraft in the subway tunnels beneath the city. In these tight confines and absurd speeds crashing is just a matter of time, but the miraculous SHIFT technology repurposed from military stealth aircraft can land you on the right side of the razor's edge between life and death.

Lyrics and Music: Music Theory and Songwriting Techniques for Aspiring Songwriters

Willy Minnix

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
Are you trying to write songs, but you feel something is missing?In this book you will learn tips and tricks that have helped songwriters write great songs for the past 50 years. Author Willy Minnix covers tried and true methods that will help you improve your lyrics, chord progressions, and melodies, and help you capture that certain magic that people like the Beatles, Elton John, Brian Wilson and Bob Dylan have known for years. Whether your songs suffer from a lack of structure, or a weak hook, or are just missing that certain spark, the topics covered in "Lyrics and Music," will offer songwriters of any level interesting things to think about that will help them hone and take their craft to another level. Covered in this book are topics like how to write a good melody, and ways to improve and develop melodic ideas. How harmony works, how to write counterpoint, how to make your chord progressions more interesting, and how to move past just the regular four chords that everyone uses. Also covered are discussions about rhythm, poly-rhythms, arrangement advice, and how to improve the lyrics that you write. Included with the book is a survey of over 30 popular songs dating from 1935 to the present, and what makes them worth listening to, and why they will inspire you in your own songwriting pursuits. Most of the material in this book is presented with the idea of writing pop songs, but country, jazz, R&B, blues and rock songs are also explored and mined for great songwriting ideas. Willy Minnix has been a profession musician, teacher and songwriter for over 20 years, with songs that have been featured on the radio, in film and on television. He is the author of over 10 books on music theory and mandolin studies, with his popular "Mandolin Dead Man's Tuning" series of books being sold all over the world. He lives in Winston-Salem, NC, and continues to teach, perform and speak publicly at festivals and colleges around the country.

Generational Gap in Japanese Politics

Generational Gap in Japanese Politics

Willy Jou; Masahisa Endo

Palgrave Macmillan
2016
sidottu
After decades of stable and seemingly semi-permanent single-party dominance, Japanese politics have gone through fundamental changes since the early 1990s. Government ministries have been reorganised, prime ministerial powers strengthened, and rules for electing the lower house of parliament overhauled. Furthermore, frequent formation, merger, splintering and disappearance of new parties have continued for more than two decades.How do citizens make sense of politics amidst such rapid shifts? The authors address this question by focusing on attitudinal and behavioural changes and continuities with respect to political ideology. They explore what issues citizens associate with ideological terms, where they perceive various parties on a conservative-progressive dimension, and to what extent ideology affects their vote choice. Results of new surveys are also presented to shed light on distinctions between different ideological labels and profiles of radicalright supporters. In addition, all topics are discussed with an eye to identifying divergent patterns between older and younger generations.

Ultraviolet Light in Water and Wastewater Sanitation (2002)

Ultraviolet Light in Water and Wastewater Sanitation (2002)

Willy J. Masschelein; Rip G. Rice

CRC Press
2017
sidottu
Several general books are available on ultraviolet light and its applications. However, this is the first comprehensive monograph that deals with its application to water and wastewater treatment. There is a rapidly growing interest in using UV light in water sanitation due to the increased knowledge of the potential health and environmental impacts of disinfection byproducts. Ultraviolet Light in Water and Wastewater Sanitation integrates the fundamental physics applicable to water and wastewater sanitation, the engineering aspects, and the practical experience in the field. The text analyzes the concerns associated with this application of UV light and brings together comprehensive information on the presently available UV technologies applicable to water and wastewater treatment including: lamp technologies, criteria of evaluation and choice of technology; fundamental principles; performance criteria for disinfection; design criteria and methods; synergistic use of UV and oxidants (advanced oxidation); and functional requirements and potential advantages and drawbacks of the technique. Ultraviolet Light in Water and Wastewater Sanitation is the only treatise currently available combining fundamental knowledge, recommendations for design, evaluations of performance, and future prospects for this application. Water and wastewater treatment professionals, water utility employees, governmental regulators, and chemists will find this book an essential and unique reference for a technology which has received growing regulatory acceptance.

Shakespeare and Wales

Shakespeare and Wales

Willy Maley

Routledge
2016
nidottu
Shakespeare and Wales offers a 'Welsh correction' to a long-standing deficiency. It explores the place of Wales in Shakespeare's drama and in Shakespeare criticism, covering ground from the absorption of Wales into the Tudor state in 1536 to Shakespeare on the Welsh stage in the twenty-first century. Shakespeare's major Welsh characters, Fluellen and Glendower, feature prominently, but the Welsh dimension of the histories as a whole, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Cymbeline also come in for examination. The volume also explores the place of Welsh-identified contemporaries of Shakespeare such as Thomas Churchyard and John Dee, and English writers with pronounced Welsh interests such as Spenser, Drayton and Dekker. This volume brings together experts in the field from both sides of the Atlantic, including leading practitioners of British Studies, in order to establish a detailed historical context that illustrates the range and richness of Shakespeare's Welsh sources and resources, and confirms the degree to which Shakespeare continues to impact upon Welsh culture and identity even as the process of devolution in Wales serves to shake the foundations of Shakespeare's status as an unproblematic English or British dramatist.

The Platform of Agile Management

The Platform of Agile Management

Willy Sussland

Routledge
2017
sidottu
Facing the amplitude and the acceleration of changes, management must also change, and it must become alert, adaptable, and agile. The children of the Internet, the likes of Google, Amazon, Facebook and Tesla, are born agile, and they challenge the traditional organizations that have long lost their original agility. The latter may have innovated externally i.e. on the market-oriented part of their organization. Yet, internally their mindset, their models, and their methods have remained tightly trapped in traditional tenets. Confronted with the need for deep changes, an increasing number of business-leaders launch change-management programs, yet, conceived and carried out in traditional ways, up to 70% of them result in partial or total failure.Management cannot innovate itself, it needs people with the right motivation and with the right mind-set. However, stuck in the old system, people can only keep working in the old ways and means. Thus, the leadership must start by replacing a traditional system with a new and agile one, which will unbridle entrepreneurship.The Platform of Agile Management and the Program to Implement It combines 3 principles that help to innovate thinking, 3 paradigms to innovate behaviours, and 3 practices to innovate and to accelerate actions. The proposed platform is comprehensive, connective, and congenial. It is implemented with an agile program that combines top down push by the leadership with the bottom up pulled by the people. Then, the proposed platform will generate continuous improvements and innovations of the performance drivers.
