Описание: Through a series of lively and absorbing portraits of iconic modern Chinese leaders and thinkers, two of today's foremost specialists on China provide a panoramic narrative of this country's rise to preeminence that is at once analytical and personal. How did a nation, after a long and painful period of dynastic decline, intellectual upheaval, foreign occupation, civil war, and revolution, manage to burst forth onto the world stage with such an impressive run of hyperdevelopment and wealth creation--culminating in the extraordinary dynamism of China today?

Wealth and Power answers this question by examining the lives of eleven influential officials, writers, activists, and leaders whose contributions helped create modern China. This fascinating survey begins in the lead-up to the first Opium War with Wei Yuan, the nineteenth-century scholar and reformer who was one of the first to urge China to borrow ideas from the West. It concludes in our time with human-rights advocate and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, an outspoken opponent of single-party rule. Along the way, we meet such titans of Chinese history as the Empress Dowager Cixi, public intellectuals Feng Guifen, Liang Qichao, and Chen Duxiu, Nationalist stalwarts Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek, and Communist Party leaders Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, and Zhu Rongji.

The common goal that unites all of these disparate figures is their determined pursuit of fuqiang, "wealth and power." This abiding quest for a restoration of national greatness in the face of a "century of humiliation" at the hands of the Great Powers came to define the modern Chinese character. It's what drove both Mao and Deng to embark on root-and-branch transformations of Chinese society, first by means of Marxism-Leninism, then by authoritarian capitalism. And this determined quest remains the key to understanding many of China's actions today.

By unwrapping the intellectual antecedents of today's resurgent China, Orville Schell and John Delury supply much-needed insight into the country's tortured progression from nineteenth-century decline to twenty-first-century boom. By looking backward into the past to understand forces at work for hundreds of years, they help us understand China today and the future that this singular country is helping shape for all of us.

Описание:

Humanity's purpose has long been the center of controversial debate by all sects, communities and religious persuasion throughout our history. The obvious and undeniable observation is that we are here, but the more difficult question to answer is "Why are we here?"

I believe for each of us, the answer may be different, if we should examine the question from the position of purpose, but what about those who believe we are just here by chance, and for no apparent reason? How valid and believable are their arguments in the cosmic scale of our reality? It is obvious that the world is much bigger than we could ever possibly know, yet with a majority of existence unknown, we can barely handle what is known.

Made In God's Image is a conversation-starter, because I believe there is something to that statement. We know what we became after man fell in the Garden, but what was man before the fall? How did we look? How did we function? Surely, this, that we know now, is not it. If there was a way to leave such perfection and unity with the Creator, there must be a way back. Finding the Ancient Path is an imaginative, colorful and picturesque journey from the past to a possible future outside the realms of what we already know. I can't say for sure what it looks like, but I believe that is where we are going.

The purpose of this journey is to trigger your own imagination to see a world outside of time, space and matter, and to begin to realize that your being here is by divine providence.
