Sommario/riassunto |
|
Cross-cultural relations are spatial relations. Enclave to Urbanity is the first book in English that examines how the architecture and the urban landscape of Guangzhou framed the relations between the Western mercantile and missionary communities and the city's predominantly Chinese population. The book takes readers through three phases: the Thirteen Factories era from the eighteenth century to the 1850s; the Shamian enclave up to the early twentieth century; and the adoption of Western building techniques throughout the city as its architecture modernized in the early Republic. The discussion of architecture goes beyond stylistic trends to embrace the history of shared and disputed spaces, using a broadly chronological approach that combines social history with architectural and spatial analysis. With nearly a hundred carefully chosen images, this book illustrates how the foreign architectural footprints of the past form the modern Guangzhou. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Citing cases illustrating the contentious legal issues that modern medicine's ability to prolong the dying process has raised for end-of- life medical decision-making, Smith (political science, U. of North Texas) overviews the history of the US right-to-die movement, and the link between legislative and judicial policies. Applying event history analysis and his typology of policy innovations in a rare empirical study of the diffusion of judicial doctrines and policies, he seeks to explain the determinants of states' permissive policy adoption and reinvention via study of right- to-die policies of the late 1970s to 1994 relating to living will, proxy, and surrogate laws/statutes. Policy salience was found to be a crucial variable. Appends a listing of right-to-die statutes by State, and methodological notes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
