Smith D: Love Letters of Kings and
Queens / B

Love Letters of Kings and Queens

Routledge Contemporary China Series

Ji uses both interview and survey data to analyse the nature and extent of the "leftover" women phenomenon in China. She argues that it is mainly a social construction and that the reality has become distorted in the Chinese popular imagination.

Wiley Blackwell Companions to Anthropology

A Companion to Biological Anthropology The discipline of biological anthropology-the study of the variation and evolution of human beings and their evolutionary relationships with past and living hominin and primate relatives-has undergone enormous growth in recent years. Advances in DNA research, behavioral anthropology, nutrition science, and other fields are transforming our understanding of what makes us human. A Companion to Biological Anthropology provides a timely and comprehensive account of the foundational concepts, historical development, current trends, and future directions of the discipline. Authoritative yet accessible, this field-defining reference work brings together 37 chapters by established and younger scholars on the biological and evolutionary components of the study of human development. The authors discuss all facets of contemporary biological anthropology including systematics and taxonomy, population and molecular genetics, human biology and functional adaptation, early primate evolution, paleoanthropology, paleopathology, bioarchaeology, forensic anthropology, and paleogenetics. Updated and expanded throughout, this second edition explores new topics, revisits key issues, and examines recent innovations and discoveries in biological anthropology such as race and human variation, epidemiology and catastrophic disease outbreaks, global inequalities, migration and health, resource access and population growth, recent primate behavior research, the fossil record of primates and humans, and much more. A Companion to Biological Anthropology, Second Edition is an indispensable guide for researchers and advanced students in biological anthropology, geosciences, ancient and modern disease, bone biology, biogeochemistry, behavioral ecology, forensic anthropology, systematics and taxonomy, nutritional anthropology, and related disciplines.

Governing Intimacies in the Global South

Cross-border intimacies draws on over a decade of frontline research to explore the lives of Chinese migrants who move to Taiwan for marriage. Spanning generations, it highlights the complex interplay between emotional and affective processes in shaping marriage migration between China and Taiwan. It argues that this phenomenon is the product of the interplay between the spheres of politics, the other, and the self. At the level of politics, cross-Strait marriage migration is manipulated by political actors to mobilise public opinion through a sentimental narrative legitimising inclusion and exclusion patterns. Cross-Strait marriage migration is also about the dynamic interactions between others - migrants and non-migrants, influenced by emotions and affect - in which meanings of family, inclusion, and integration are co-constructed and transformed over time. Finally, cross-Strait marriage migration is about the emotional and affective experiences of marriage migrants - the self - as they navigate discrimination and integration, develop a sense of belonging, and engage in intimate and homemaking practices. Importantly, this book demonstrates that as these three dimensions continually interact and negotiate with one another, they create new pathways, emotional and affective processes, and changing migration experiences, resulting in an ever-evolving phenomenon. This book contributes to empirical literature on marriage migration and emerging scholarship exploring the role of emotions and affect in migration phenomena.

Affect and Emotions in Marriage Migration

Cross-Border Intimacies

Reevaluates Nicolaus Steno's contributions to anatomy and early modern science, examining his interdisciplinary interests in their historical context. &nbsp; Nicolaus Steno (1638-1686) was a renowned anatomist in his lifetime. He reformed the anatomical understanding of glands, argued that the heart was a muscle, renamed the so-called female testicles as ovaries, and developed a mathematical model for understanding muscle contraction-discoveries that were fundamental to the fields of anatomy and physiology. However, other aspects of Steno's life have come to define him: his claim that mountains' strata reveal the history of the Earth and his conversion to Catholicism as a practicing scientist. This excessive attention to his geological discoveries and to asking whether science and religion are compatible, Nuno Castel-Branco argues, has obscured his significant accomplishments as an anatomist. The Traveling Anatomist thus restores Steno to his rightful place as a crucial figure in early modern science. &nbsp; Using Steno's extensive travels as a framework, this book depicts him as an active participant in the Republic of Letters. Castel-Branco traverses Leiden, Paris, Copenhagen, Florence, and Rome as he follows Steno in his sojourns through different scientific academies, courts, and artisanal workshops. There he developed new friends, some of whom were women, with whom he researched and exchanged ideas. Drawing on Steno's books, correspondence, and novel archival material, Castel-Branco invites us to approach Steno and his accomplishments in anatomy, mathematics, and geology through the eyes of his contemporaries. Doing so, Castel-Branco reconstructs the rich and overlapping worlds of scientific disciplines that shaped Steno's work, revealing the richness of interdisciplinary research in early modern intellectual life. And through Steno, he illustrates larger developments and new networks of significance in mid-seventeenth-century science. By focusing on ideas, scientific genres, institutions, and friendships, Castel-Branco offers a way others might also productively study science from the early modern period until today.

Nicolaus Steno and the Intersection of Disciplines in Early Modern Science

The Traveling Anatomist

'I write about love, I write about friendship,' remarked Thom Gunn: 'I find that they are absolutely intertwined.' These core values permeate his correspondence with friends, family, lovers, and fellow poets, and shed new light on 'one of the most singular and compelling poets in English during the past half-century' (Times Literary Supplement). These letters reveal the evolution of Gunn's work and illuminate the fascinating life that informed his poems: his struggle to come to terms with his mother's suicide; his changing relationship with his life partner, Mike Kitay; the LSD trips that led to his celebrated collection Moly (1971); and the deaths of friends from AIDS that inspired the powerful, unsparing elegies of The Man with Night Sweats (1992).

SpringerBriefs in Population Studies

Population Studies of Japan

<div>This book describes the development of studies of the family system in Japan and the West, introducing the evolution of the key concept of kin availability. It points out that the concept was first formulated by the Japanese sociologist Teizo Toda in the 1930s to analyze the unexpectedly low frequency of three-generation family households in Japan in the 1920s. The book provides an analytic model proposed by the author in the 1980s, which explains the halt in the decrease in the prevalence of married children residing with their parents in the 1970s and 1980s in Japan. The author maintains that this change was caused not by the breakdown of the nuclearization of the family system, but by a decrease in the availability of parents with whom to co-reside. This model provides a sophisticated measurement of living- arrangement behavior, showing that fewer people in Japan are choosing to co-reside. It can also be applied to regions where there is demographic transition and the stem-family system is maintained to varying degrees. The book shows that a controversy similar to that surrounding the Japanese family was occurring in the West in the 1980s in the context of the then recently discovered scarcity of extended families in seventeenth and eighteenth- century England. It shows that the quantitative historian Steven Ruggles came close to successfully resolving this question using a model based on the concept of kin availability.</div><div>The book demonstrates that these endeavors in the 1980s yielded a new discipline of family demography both in Japan and the West and that one of the key concepts articulated by the author has taken on practical as well as theoretical significance with regard to the provision of care for the elderly in residing with the generation of children born after the1970s.</div>

Linda Burnett offers a genuinely new perspective on motherhood, arguing that most feminist scholarship is unduly reluctant to acknowledge the role of biological and material factors involved. The importance of embodiment and affect in recent critical work makes this a timely intervention into research on motherhood which will be of interest to a range of scholars and students.

Part of the "Penguin Monarchs" series, these are short, fresh and informative accounts of England's rulers.

Part of the Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England's rulers in a collectible format Henry VII was one of England's unlikeliest monarchs. An exile and outsider with barely a claim to the throne, his victory over Richard III at Bosworth Field seemed to many in 1485 only the latest in the sequence of violent convulsions among England's nobility that would come to be known as the Wars of the Roses - with little to suggest that the obscure Henry would last any longer than his predecessor. To break the cycle of division, usurpation, deposition and murder, he had both to maintain a grip on power and to convince England that his rule was both rightful and effective. Here, Sean Cunningham explores how, in his ruthless and controlling kingship, Henry VII did so, in the process founding the Tudor dynasty.
