A sculptural installation evoking the unruly stains of exploitation, migration and diseaseThe work of Los Angeles-based artist Candice Lin (born 1979) explores marginalized histories and colonial legacies. Combining diverse materials (lard, opium poppy, bone black pigment), Pigs and Poison weaves together stories of migration, biological warfare, and British and American colonial relationships with China.
Lin är en fantastisk växt som människan har haft nytta av i tusentals år. Den starka linfibern har skänkt oss allt från kläder och fiskenät till olja och drevmaterial. I dag finns inga större spånadslinodlingar i Sverige, men intresset för den mångsidiga kulturväxten blomstrar och ideella krafter håller kunskapen vid liv. I Om lin hittar du allt du behöver veta för att själv komma i gång med att odla och bereda lin. Du får lära dig hur sådd och skörd går till och hur du bär dig åt för att röta, torka, bråka, skäkta och häckla. Därefter visas steg-för-steg hur du spinner den vackra lintågan till tråd. För extra inspiration får du träffa personer som arbetar med lin på olika sätt och dessutom finns beskrivningar på tre projekt som du kan göra själv med lin. Och självklart får du även veta hur du ska bära dig åt för att ta hand om ditt linneförråd på bästa sätt. Lycka till! Eva Andersson har arbetat som länshemslöjds-konsulent i 40 år och alltid varit nära råmaterialen och den handburna kunskapen. I sin yrkesroll har hon drivit många spännande projekt och varit medförfattare i flera böcker. 1985 startade hon Linodlarföreningen Fransåker tillsammans med andra linintresserade, och är fortfarande en eldsjäl i föreningen.
Art and family transcend differences in language and culture in this sensitively told, exquisitely illustrated story of a child starting a new school. When Shu Lin starts at her new school, she wears yellow rain boots and a pink coat. At recess, she stands alone in the playground. At lunchtime, she eats by herself from little boxes of brightly colored food. Her classmates aren't sure what to make of her. But one day, when Shu Lin's grandpa comes to school to share his amazing artwork, everything changes. With a stunning double-gatefold spread revealing a beautiful Chinese painting, this uplifting story shows the transformative power of art and imagination in developing cultural understanding and empathy.

The six rules of success that launched Jeremy Lin from underdog to NBA superstarIn Win Like Lin, award-winning sports writer Sean Deveney, breaks down Jeremy Lin’s winning game plan to help you create your own success story.Before he joined the New York Knicks, Harvard-graduate Jeremy Lin had been cut from two teams and passed over by virtually every other NBA franchise.

Combining the remarkable story of Lin’s improbable rise with interviews of today’s top NBA players, coaches, and team executives—including Amare Stoudemire, Dwayne Wade, Mike D’Antoni, and Steve Kerr—Deveney outlines the six principles Lin applied to beat the odds and rise to the top:Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveledBelieve in your own abilityFind the system that works best for you Focus on making the most of skills you already possessRebound quickly from setbacks and learn from failureBe humble in victoryAthletic prowess is only part of the Jeremy Lin saga. What got him off the bench and into the game was his will, ability to triumph over adversity, and the desire to make the most of every opportunity. No matter your goals or the challenges you face, with this book and your own drive and determination, you, too, can Win Like Lin!Sean Deveney is the NBA writer for The Sporting News and the author of The Original Curse.
The Works of Lin Yutang is the first book to provide a comprehensive study of Lin Yutang’s translation theory and translated (and written) works in English as a whole, examined from the perspective of his pursuit of recognition of cultural equity between China and the English-speaking world.The arc of the book is Lin’s new method of translating China to the Anglophone world, which is crucial to rendering Chinese culture as an equal member of the modern world. This book identifies Lin’s legacy of translation and recognition as his acknowledgement of source and target cultural territories in translation, and at the same time, his questioning of perspectives that privilege the authority of either.This book will appeal to scholars and students in Translation Studies, World and Comparative Literature, Literary and Cultural Studies, and Chinese Studies. It can also be used as a reference work for practitioners in translation and creative writing.

Wilma Fairbank documents, from both a historical and a uniquely personal perspective, the professional and personal achievements of Lin Whei-yin and Liang Sicheng. Liang and Lin were born in early twentieth-century China, a time when the influences of modernism were slowly bearing down on the traditional culture. In the 1920s, they traveled together to the Beaux Arts universe of Philadelphia, where they both graduated with honors from the architecture department of the University of Pennsylvania. Married in 1928, they returned to their native land and became the first two professors at the newly founded school of architecture in Shenyang's Tung Pei University. Wilma Fairbank and her husband, John King Fairbank, Harvard University's eminent historian of modern China, were lifelong friends of Liang and Lin. This relationship allows the author, herself a noted researcher of art and architecture, to paint a vivid picture of the couple within the context of China's turbulent past. Fairbank recounts how Liang and Lin used their Western training to initiate the study of China's architectural evolution. She also documents-as seen through the eyes of Liang and Lin-the tragic events that ravaged the Chinese homeland and its people: the 1937 invasion and bombings by the Japanese military and the ensuing illness and poverty; World War II and the civil war; the rise to power of the Communist government in 1949; and the victimization of the scholar class during the Cultural Revolution of 1966-76. Fairbank provides a highly readable, emotionally charged personal account of the couple's lives, and the numerous and sometimes horrific torments and humiliations they suffered. And, finally, when it was all too late, the posthumous praise and recognition.
