The essays address topics such as the role of the China trade in US pacific expansion and exploration, US consuls, smuggling networks, American women's perceptions of China, and missionary and educational work. In all of the encounters, Macao emerges as a central player, adding a new dimension to our understanding of Sino-American relations."--Publisher's website.Macau (China : Special Administrative Region)Foreign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsChinaMacau (Special Administrative Region)Macau (China : Special Administrative Region)Foreign economic relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign economic relationsChinaMacau (Special Administrative Region)Electronic books.Van Dyke Paul ArthurMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463414703321Americans and Macao2448344UNINA00931cam a2200253 i 4500991003732639707536060423s2006 it b 001 0 ita d8811597803b13743430-39ule_instDip.to Studi Storiciita945.092Breda, Marzio593460La guerra del Quirinale :la difesa della democrazia ai tempi di Cossiga, Scalfaro e Ciampi /Marzio BredaMilano :Garzanti,2006233 p. ;21 cm.SaggiItaliaPolitica1989-2005ItaliaPresidenti1989-2005.b1374343028-01-1418-06-08991003732639707536LE023 945.092 BRE 1 1 12023000102794le023-E14.50-l- 01110.i1477996119-06-08Guerra del Quirinale998415UNISALENTOle02318-06-08ma -itait 30
