The book begins with the boundaries between ?us? and ?them?, Chinese and other, during this period, including the rise of state systems. It looks at the challenges to such demarcations posed by movements of people, goods and ideas across maritime East Asia and the broader Asian Seas, and builds a fresh understanding of China?s boundaries. Of interest to students of migration, of Chinese history, and of relations between China and its region, Ng?s analysis provides crucial background to understanding China within Asia?s maritime world. The result is a novel way of approaching Chinese history, argued from a fresh perspective on China?s relations with neighbouring territories, and of the nature of tradition and its persistence in a changing world. 606 $aMerchant marine$zChina$xHistory 607 $aChina$xHistory$yQing dynasty, 1644-1912 607 $aChina$xHistory$yMing dynasty, 1368-1644 607 $aChina$xForeign economic relations$zAsia$xHistory 607 $aChina$xCommerce$xHistory 615 0$aMerchant marine$xHistory. 676 $a382.09510903 700 $aNg$b Chin-Keong$0928995 712 02$aNUS Press, 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219991703321 996 $aBoundaries and beyond$92160693 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04612nam 22007815 450 001 9910633932003321 005 20251009105818.0 010 $a3-031-11417-5 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-11417-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7148686 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7148686 035 $a(CKB)25504452200041 035 $a(PPN)266355196 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-11417-5 035 $a(OCoLC)1352969927 035 $a(EXLCZ)9925504452200041 100 $a20221128d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aMastering Your PhD $eSurvival and Success in the Doctoral Years and Beyond /$fby Patricia Gosling, Bart Noordam 205 $a3rd ed. 2022. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2022. 215 $a1 online resource (197 pages) 225 1 $aPhysics and Astronomy Series 311 08$aPrint version: Gosling, Patricia Mastering Your PhD Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031114168 327 $aPreface -- Choosing a Research Group: Pluses and Pitfalls -- Getting Started -- Setting Goals and Objections -- How to Think Like a Scientist -- Designing Good Experiments -- Charting your Progress Month by Month -- Dealing with Setbacks -- Mentors, Leadership and Community -- How to Get Along with Your Labmates, et al -- Group dynamics: Dealing with Difficult Colleagues -- The Art of Good Communication -- Mastering Presentations & Group Meetings -- Searching the Scientific Literature -- Your First International Conference -- From Data to Manuscript: Writing scientific papers that shine -- Celebrate your Success -- How to Make the Best of your Annual Evaluation -- The Final Year: Countdown to your Thesis Defense -- Writing your Doctoral Thesis with Style -- The Final Act: Defending your Thesis with Panache -- Putting it all Together: A PhD. . .So What?s Next? -- Is Industry Right for You?
