Can it be slowed down? These questions have puzzled scientists and laymen alike for generations, and continue to do so today. The author addresses these thought-provoking issues by challenging pre-conceived notions of age-perception, age-acceptance and inter-age relations. Pertinent matters of age-related communication are dealt with, and the reader is treated to a grand tour of the latest theories of ageing, age-related biological changes and age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease.

Religious rites due to an emperor?s predecessors must both pay the correct services to his ancestors and demonstrate his right to succeed to the throne. In practical terms, tax collectors, merchants, farmers and townsmen required the establishment of a standard set of weights and measures that was universally operative and which they could trust. Those who saw reason to criticise the decisions taken by the emperor and his immediate advisors, whether on grounds of moral principles or political expediency, needed opportunities and the means of expressing their views, whether as remonstrants to the throne, by withdrawal from public life or as authors of private writings. 410 0$aChina studies (Leiden, Netherlands) ;$vVolume 33. 606 $aImperialism$xSocial aspects$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aGenealogy$xPolitical aspects$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aRites and ceremonies$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aWeights and measures$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aProtest movements$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCritics$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aChina$xHistory$yHan dynasty, 202 B.C.-220 A.D 607 $aChina$xPolitics and government$y221 B.C.-220 A.D 607 $aChina$xSocial life and customs$y221 B.C.-960 A.D 607 $aChina$xKings and rulers$xFamily relationships$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImperialism$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aGenealogy$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aRites and ceremonies$xHistory 615 0$aWeights and measures$xHistory 615 0$aProtest movements$xHistory 615 0$aCritics$xHistory 676 $a931.04 700 $aLoewe$b Michael$0635017 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511735503321 996 $aProblems of Han administration$92552720 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00943nam0 22002531i 450 001 UON00232975 005 20231205103511.118 100 $a20030730d1937 |0itac50 ba 101 $agre 102 $aGR 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aˆ"O ‰Erotokritos" tou Kornarou kai e ellenike poiese$fBas.
