 Hongwei Bao, "Queer Comrades: Gay Identity and Tongzhi Activism in Postsocialist China" English | 2018 | pages: 279 | ISBN: 8776942341, 8776942368 | PDF | 8,4 mb This very timely, well-written and insightful exploration of gay identity and queer activism in the People's Republic of China today is more than a study of 'queer China' through the lens of male homosexuality; it also examines identity, power and governmentality in contemporary China, as shaped by China's historical conditions and contemporary situations. This book offers in-depth analysis of recent queer history and contemporary cultural texts, including the processes by which queer theory and activism was introduced and received in the PRC, the transformation of Shanghai's queer spaces, leading queer filmmaker Cui Zi'en life and works, and personal diaries written by gay men receiving conversion therapies. It also presents rich ethnographic data gained from fieldwork conducted in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou's urban gay communities and documents queer public cultural events such as the Shanghai LGBT Pride, the Beijing Queer Film Festival, the China Queer Film Festival Tour, as well as a clash between cruising gay men and the police over the use of public space in the People's Park, Guangzhou.

Power Grid Complexity by Shengwei Mei, Xuemin Zhang, Ming Cao English | PDF | 2011 | 471 Pages | ISBN : 364216210X | 6.7 MB "Power Grid Complexity" introduces the complex system theory known as self-organized criticality (SOC) theory and complex network theory, and their applications to power systems. It studies the network characteristics of power systems, such as their small-world properties, structural vulnerability, decomposition and coordination strategies, and simplification and equivalence methods. The book also establishes four blackout models based on SOC theory through which the SOC of power systems is studied at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels. Additionally, applications of complex system theory in power system planning and emergency management platforms are also discussed in depth. This book can serve as a useful reference for engineers and researchers working with power systems.

 Ryan Salzman, "Pop-Up Civics in 21st Century America: Understanding the Political Potential of Placemaking " English | ISBN: 0367690209 | 2022 | 180 pages | EPUB | 1132 KB How people associate and engage in politics in the 21st century is notably different from similar behaviors in the 20th century.

Placemaking exemplifies a shift that is occurring in the way Americans participate in their political system, and it appears that that participation is increasingly effective in the context of American democracy. |
