Chinese Propaganda Posters

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: With his smooth, warm, red face which radiated light in all directions, Chairman Mao Zedong was a fixture in Chinese propaganda posters produced between the birth of the People`s Republic in 1949 and the early 1980s. These infamous posters were, in turn, central fixtures in Chinese homes, railway stations, schools, journals, magazines, and just about anywhere else where people were likely to see them. Chairman Mao, portrayed as a stoic superhero (a.k.a. the Great Teacher, the Great Leader, the Great Helmsman, the Supreme Commander), appeared in all kinds of situations (inspecting factories, smoking a cigarette with peasant workers, standing by the Yangzi River in a bathrobe, presiding over the bow of a ship, or floating over a sea of red flags), flanked by strong, healthy, ageless men and `masculinized` women and children wearing baggy, sexless, drab clothing. The goal of each poster was to show the Chinese people what sort of behavior was considered morally correct and how great the… [detailed...]

Chinese Women Writers and The Feminist Imagination 1905 - 1948 (Asia`s Transformations)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Chinese Women Writers and the Feminist Imagination, 1905-1948 provides a compelling study of leading women writers in modern China, charting their literary works and life journeys to examine the politics and poetics of Chinese trans-cultural feminism within the boundaries of bourgeois feminist selfhood. Unlike recent literary studies that focus on the discursive formation of the modern Chinese nation state and its gendering effects, Haiping Yan explores the radical degrees to which Chinese women writers re-invented their lives alongside their writings in distinctly conditioned and fundamentally revolutionary ways. The book draws on these women`s voluminous works and dramatic lives to illuminate the range of Chinese women`s literary and artistic achievements and offers vital sources for exploring the history and legacy of twentieth-century Chinese feminist consciousness.

Chinua Achebe: Teacher of Light, A Biography

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionChinua Achebe is one of the world?s leading novelists, a writer who, according to Nadine Gordimer, `makes you laugh and then catches your breath in horror.` Growing up in the cultural crossroads of colonial Nigeria, he lived and mediated in a world in which people moved between allegiance to traditional Igbo beliefs and values and those introduced by the British, particularly Anglican Christianity under the Church Missionary Society (CMS). His urge to write developed as an answer to European caricatures of African characters in such novels as Joyce Cary?s Mister Johnson or Joseph Conrad?s Heart of Darkness. Africans needed to tell their own stories, and Achebe?s Things Fall Apart, published in 1958, became the first attempt by an African to tell a serious African story. Its remarkable success, compared to the works of the best in Greek tragedy, launched the development of a whole continent?s literature, and resulted in the appointment of… [detailed...]

Chip Multiprocessor Architecture: Techniques to Improve Throughput and Latency

2007 y.
Publisher: Morgan and Claypool Publishers
Description: Chip multiprocessors - also called multi-core microprocessors or CMPs for short - are now the only way to build high-performance microprocessors, for a variety of reasons. Large uniprocessors are no longer scaling in performance, because it is only possible to extract a limited amount of parallelism from a typical instruction stream using conventional superscalar instruction issue techniques. In addition, one cannot simply ratchet up the clock speed on today`s processors, or the power dissipation will become prohibitive in all but water-cooled systems. Compounding these problems is the simple fact that with the immense numbers of transistors available on today`s microprocessor chips, it is too costly to design and debug ever-larger processors every year or two. CMPs avoid these problems by filling up a processor die with multiple, relatively simpler processor cores instead of just one huge core. The exact size of a CMPas cores can vary from very simple pipelines to moderately complex… [detailed...]

Despite early optimism in the field, the challenge proved to be surprisingly difficult. However, the 1990s saw amazing progress. Computers are now better than humans in checkers, Othello and Scrabble, are at least as good as the best humans in backgammon and chess, and are rapidly improving at hex, go, poker, and shogi. This book documents the progress made in computers playing games and puzzles. The book is the definitive source for material of high-performance game-playing programs. [detailed...]
