The Third Edition of Chromatin: Structure and Function brings the reader up-to-date with the remarkable progress in chromatin research over the past three years. It has been extensively rewritten to cover new material on chromatin remodeling, histone modification, nuclear compartmentalization, DNA methylation, and transcriptional co-activators and co-repressors. The book is written in a clear and concise fashion, with 60 new illustrations. Chromatin: Structure and Function provides the reader with a concise and coherent account of the nature, structure, and assembly of chromatin and its active involvement in the processes of DNA transcription, replication and repair. This book consistently interrelates the structure of eukaryotic DNA with the nuclear processes it undergoes, and will be essential reading for students and molecular biologists who want to really understand how DNA works.

This is an engrossing account of ethnographic field work carried out in Lupupa Ngye, a Basongye village of central Zäire. The author's general aim was to know Basongye society and culture, and also to study music and the other arts. This volume provides a vivid descriptive sketch of the daily lives of the villagers and an understanding of their belief system. Professor Merriam's field-work in Lupupa Ngye was intensive and capable; his report on it is illuminating.
Mass Politics in the People's Republic
Exploring the crucial link between state and society in the PRC, this study analyzes the interaction between the Chinese Communist Party and the country’s major social groups—peasants, workers, youths and students, intellectuals, and ethnic minorities—since the founding of the People’s Republic. Alan Liu argues that uninstitutionalized public opinion has existed in China ever since the inception of the Communist regime and that it gradually grew powerful enough to thwart Mao’s policies and programs. He contends that the government’s radical post-Mao reforms emerged less from the preferences of another paramount leader—Deng—than from public opinion, which has grown too strong for the communist party either to ignore or control.
Mass Politics In The People's Republic

US Economic Statecraft for Survival, 1933-1991
How have US economic defence policies promoted its security since 1933?US Policies of Economic Warfare, 1933-1991 concentrates on an important and neglected facet of America's fight for survival in the latter half of the twentieth century. It explains how US policy-makers crafted and used instruments of economic statecraft against states that posed vital threats to the survival of the USA. This study situates economic defence policy within the broad context of US foreign policy and explores its response to the totalitarianism of the 1930s, the Second World War and the complex strategic and political developments of the Cold War.

Communications and National Integration in Communist China

Communications and National Integration in Communist China

Alan P. L. Liu

University of California Press

pokkari
Communications and National Integration in Communist China explores the unprecedented efforts of Mao Zedong’s government to unify a vast, diverse nation through mass persuasion and propaganda. Dr. Liu delves into the innovative, low-cost communication systems—wired loudspeakers, grassroots discussions, and mobile cinema teams—that reached even the most remote corners of China. This insightful analysis contrasts the radical, ideology-driven campaigns of Mao’s voluntarist vision with the more pragmatic, bureaucratic approaches inspired by Soviet models. From the Great Leap Forward to the Cultural Revolution, the book examines how the CCP sought to reshape not only social and economic systems but also the consciousness of its citizens. Dr. Liu’s comprehensive study offers a rare glimpse into the mechanics of Maoist mass communication and its lasting impact on national integration. By analyzing the successes and failures of these campaigns, the book provides valuable insights into the limits of propaganda as a tool for societal transformation. Perfect for historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in the intersection of ideology, media, and modern governance, Communications and National Integration in Communist China presents a compelling narrative of one of history’s most ambitious experiments in reshaping human consciousness. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1971.

An essential resource for learning about general relativity and much more, from four leading experts Important and useful to every student of relativity, this book is a unique collection of some 475 problems--with solutions--in the fields of special and general relativity, gravitation, relativistic astrophysics, and cosmology. The problems are expressed in broad physical terms to enhance their pertinence to readers with diverse backgrounds. In their solutions, the authors have attempted to convey a mode of approach to these kinds of problems, revealing procedures that can reduce the labor of calculations while avoiding the pitfall of too much or too powerful formalism. Although well suited for individual use, the volume may also be used with one of the modem textbooks in general relativity.

This is the story of a physicist as a young man. Benito adores the rationality of physics and pursues it with a religious fervour. He finds very little rationality in his affairs with women however, they make no sense to him. Other work by the author includes "Einstein's Dreams".
Dance for Two

Dance for Two

Alan P. Lightman

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
1996
pokkari
This is a collection of essays which display the author's talent for bringing literary and scientific concerns into harmony. These meditations touch upon both the ethereal and the corporeal: the dependence of a ballerina on the laws of physics; the chice every scientist makes between tinkering and theorizing; the unscientific nature of discovery; the mystery of human flight without propellers; and the impulse behind the unprompted smile. In "Dance for Two", Alan Lightman offers readers a look into the creative complusions shared by the scientist and the artist, and a glimpse as well into his own imagination. Alan Lightman is the author of "Einstein's Dreams".
