Every river in the country has been tapped to power exploding cities and factories—every river but one. Running through one of the richest natural areas in the world, the Nujiang’s raging waters were on the verge of being dammed when a 2004 government moratorium halted construction. Might the Chinese dragon bow to the "Angry River"? Would Beijing put local people and their land ahead of power and profit? Could this remote region actually become a model for sustainable growth?   Ed Grumbine traveled to the far corners of China’s Yunnan province to find out. He was driven by a single question: could this last fragment of wild nature withstand China’s unrelenting development? But as he hiked through deep-cut emerald mountains, backcountry villages, and burgeoning tourist towns, talking with trekking guides, schoolchildren, and rural farmers, he discovered that the problem wasn’t as simple as growth versus conservation.   In its struggle to "build a well-off society in an all-round way," Beijing juggles a host of competing priorities: health care for impoverished villagers; habitat for threatened tigers; cars for a growing middle class; clean air for all citizens; energy to power new cities; rubber for the global marketplace.   Where the Dragon Meets the Angry River is an incisive look at the possible fates of China and the planet. Will the Angry River continue to flow? Will Tibetan girls from subsistence farming families learn to read and write? Can China and the United States come together to lead action on climate change? Far-reaching in its history and scope, this unique book shows us the real-world consequences of conservation and development decisions now being made in Beijing and beyond. .River engineeringChinaNujiang Lisuzu ZizhizhouWater resources developmentEnvironmental aspectsChinaYunnan ShengYunnan Sheng (China)Economic conditionsYunnan Sheng (China)Social conditionsRiver engineeringWater resources developmentEnvironmental aspects333.720951/35Grumbine R.

In the first, "After Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick," Jonathan Goldberg assesses her legacy, prompted mainly by writing about Sedgwick's work that has appeared in the years since her death in April 2009. Writing by Lauren Berlant, Jane Gallop, Katy Hawkins, Scott Herring, Lana Lin, and Philomina Tsoukala are among those considered as he explores questions of queer temporality and the breaching of ontological divides. Main concerns include the relationship of Sedgwick's later work in Proust, fiber, and Buddhism to her fundamental contribution to queer theory, and the axes of identification across difference that motivated her work and attachment to it. "Come As You Are," the other piece of writing, is a previously unpublished talk Sedgwick gave in 1999-2000. It represents a significant bridge between her earlier and later work, sharing with her book Tendencies the ambition to discover the "something" that makes queer inextinguishable. In this piece, Sedgwick does that by contemplating her own mortality alongside her creative engagement with Buddhist thought, especially the in-between states named bardos and her newfound energy for making things. These were represented in a show of her fabric art, "Floating Columns/In the Bardo," that accompanied her talk, a number of images of which are included in this book. They feature floating figures suspended in the realization of death. They are objects produced by Sedgwick, made of fabric; they come from her, yet are discontinuous with her, occupying a mode of existence that exceeds the span of human life and the confines of individual identity. They could be put beside the queer transitive identifications across difference that Goldberg's essay explores"--Publisher's description.Homosexuality and literatureHistory21st centuryHomosexuality and literatureHistory20th centuryGay people's writingsHistory and criticismTheory, etcQueer theoryEssays.Lectures.Literary criticism.differenceidentificationliterary studiesontologyqueer studiesqueer temporalityfabric artHomosexuality and literatureHistoryHomosexuality and literatureHistoryGay people's writingsHistory and criticismTheory, etc.Queer theory.Goldberg Jonathan251465Goldberg Jonathan251465Sedgwick Eve Kosofsky456894Sedgwick Eve KosofskyMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910472625603321Come As You Are, After Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick2264060UNINA02255nam0 22004933i 450 VAN0023384520240806101333.894N978981154732420211104d2020 |0itac50 baengSG|||| |||||Exoskeleton Robots for Rehabilitation and Healthcare DevicesManuel Cardona, Vijender Kumar Solanki, Cecilia E.
