Excerpt: Lu Xun (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: L Xùn) or Lu Hsün (Wade-Giles), was the pen name of Zhou Shuren (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Zhu Shùrén; Wade-Giles: Chou Shu-jen) (September 25, 1881 October 19, 1936) is one of the major Chinese writers of the 20th century. Considered by many to be the founder of modern Chinese literature, he wrote in baihua () (the vernacular) as well as classical Chinese. Lu Xun was a short story writer, editor, translator, critic, essayist and poet. In the 1930s he became the titular head of the Chinese League of the Left-Wing Writers in Shanghai. Lu Xun's works exerted a very substantial influence after the May Fourth Movement to such a point that he was lionized by the Communist regime after 1949. Mao Zedong himself was a lifelong admirer of Lu Xun's works. Though sympathetic to the ideals of the Left, Lu Xun never actually joined the Chinese Communist Party - like fellow leaders of the May Fourth Movement, he was primarily a liberal. Lu Xun's works are known to English readers through numerous translations, especially Selected Stories of Lu Hsun translated by Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang. Born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province, Lu Xun was first named Zhou Zhangshou, then Zhou Yucai, and finally himsel...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=65861 ... Read more

This book covers the entire spectrum of health effects induced by chronic arsenic poisoning, which is prevalent in more than 30 countries due to the use of unclean underground water, a result of surface water pollution and shortage. This environmental health disaster has been considered more catastrophic than the Chernobyl nuclear plant explosion in the former Soviet Union and the Bhopal chemical plant explosion in India. All contributors to this review volume have done extensive research on arsenic poisoning and published excellent papers in internationally well-known journals. "Health Hazards of Environmental Arsenic Poisoning" includes reviews of the state-of-the-art literature and cutting-edge scientific evidence on arsenic-related health effects. It is also an important source of valuable information for health care workers, environmental scientists and epidemiologists, as well as public health practitioners. ... Read more

Product Description
Lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease that seriously influences the health of the body. The prevalence of lupus erythematosus is rising, but the etiology still remains unclear. Currently, glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants are mainly used to ease the symptoms and reduce complications. But long-term application of these medicines causes many side-effects, such as infection, anemia, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and diabetes. Thanks to thousands of years' clinical practice, Chinese medicine has accumulated abundant experiences in the treatment of lupus erythematosus. Based on pattern differentiation, satisfactory results have been achieved. Clinical researchers have demonstrated that Chinese medicine can reduce the side effects of biomedicine, help the patient to gradually reduce daily dosage of corticosteroids, prevent the disease from aggravation, regulate the immunity functions, and improve the survival rates and life quality. ...

From the author: Microsized or nanosized [alpha]-alumina ([Al.sub.2][O.sub.3]) and boron nitride (BN) were effectively treated by silanes or diisocyanate, and then filled into the epoxy to prepare thermally conductive adhesives. The effects of surface modification and particle size on the performance of thermally conductive epoxy adhesives were investigated. It was revealed that epoxy adhesives filled with nanosized particles performed higher thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, and mechanical strength than those filled with microsized ones. It was also indicated that surface modification of the particles was beneficial for improving thermal conductivity of the epoxy composites, which was due to the decrease of thermal contact resistance of the filler-matrix through the improvement of the interface between filler and matrix by surface treatment. A synergic effect was found when epoxy adhesives were filled with combination of [Al.sub.2][O.sub.3] nanoparticles and microsized BN platelets, that is, the thermal conductivity was higher than that of any sole particles filled epoxy composites at a constant loading content. The heat conductive mechanism was proposed that conductive networks easily formed among nano- [Al.sub.2][O.sub.3] particles and micro-BN platelets and the thermal resistance decreased due to the contact between the nano- [Al.sub.2][O.sub.3] and BN, which resulted in improving the thermal conductivity.

Product Description
For the past two thousand years, the prophecies in theRevelation of the Bible have always been the mysteries for mostChristians. Many scholars and priests tried to guess the true meaningof these prophecies; some tried to use them to predict future. But theprophecies of God are never intended for people to predict future,only to confirm the works of God once they have been done. Now, as themajority of the prophecies have been fulfilled, the time to reveal thesecret of the prophecies in the Book of Revelation has come.

The prophecies of the Revelation are not the prophecies of the "EndTime" as most people believed in the past. They are the propheciesregarding the major historical events starting from the earlyChristian time all the way to the twenty-first century and the comingNew Era of Peace & Wisdom. Many major historical events andinfluential figures, like Constantine the Great, the Rising of IslamicMovement, the Dark Age, The Reformation, the French Revolution andNapoleon, the Holocaust and Hitler, the Re-birth of Israel, the Risingof Communism, the AIDS plague, the "Sept. 11", and the recentWar in Iraq, were all prophesied in the Book of Revelation and someother books in the Bible.

Now, all these mysteries of the prophecies have been revealed by God since the "Man Child" in Revelation 12 was enlightened in year 2000 to bring forward the New Millennium Testament to the world. This book not only uncovers the mystery of the prophecies in the book of Revelation, but also gives a brief introduction of the New Millennium Testament and brings new messages from God for some major religions and nations in the world, including the message for the peace of the Middle East. Once people learn the basic concepts of this book, they will have a better understanding on the full revelation of the New Millennium Testament, which is the Eternal Gospel for Peace & Wisdom as prophesied in Revelation 14:6. ...

Mystery Solved with Historical Proof
I am glad to know there is no "Doomsday" disaster waiting. Mr. Yi-Chen did a wonderful job to use world history to decode the mystery of the book of Revelation. The historical proofs on the prophecies about Napoleon, Communism, AIDS, "Sept. 11" and War in Iraq are very convincing. Unlike other books about Bible Revelation in the market, this book is the first book to reveal the complete picture of the prophecies in the Bible Revelation that matches the timeline in world history. That's should be the case for God's prophecies like those in the book of Daniel.

Among all the books regarding the prophecies in the book of Revelation, this book will become the authoritative interpretation in the future on the prophecies of Revelation. Fascinating book, strongly recommend! ... Read more
