Dim Sum of All Fears is the second book in a delicious new cozy series.
Lana Lee is a dutiful daughter, waiting tables at her family's Chinese restaurant even though she'd rather be doing just about anything else. Then, just when she has a chance for a "real" job, her parents take off to Taiwan, leaving Lana in charge. Surprising everyone--including herself--she turns out to be quite capable of running the place. Unfortunately, the newlyweds who just opened the souvenir store next door to Ho-Lee have turned up dead. . .and soon Lana finds herself in the midst of an Asia Village mystery.
Between running the Ho-Lee and trying to figure out whether the rock-solid Detective Adam Trudeau is actually her boyfriend, Lana knows she shouldn't pry into the case. But the more she learns about the dead husband, his ex-wives, and all the murky details of the couple's past, the more Lana thinks that this so-called murder/suicide is a straight-up order of murder. . .

Vivien Chen's Lana Lee returns for Killer Kung Pao, another delectable cozy set in a Chinese restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio
Is life at the Ho-Lee Noodle House becoming too hot to handle?
Lana Lee's plate is already plenty full. Running her family's Chinese restaurant in Cleveland's Asia Village is challenging on the best of days. But just when Lana thinks she might be able to catch her breath before the weekend--which she's eager to spend with her equally overworked boyfriend, Detective Adam Trudeau--Lana witnesses a car accident in the parking lot. And now she has no choice but to get involved.
June Yi, of Yi's Tea and Bakery, is a serious businesswoman well-known for her heartlessness. But June meets her match when she rear-ends the Cadillac belonging to Mah Jong lover Mildred "Millie" Mao. As each woman curses--and threatens--the other, it becomes clear to Lana that trouble lies ahead. Still, who could have imagined that Millie would end up dead at the beauty salon? The evidence suggests that she was electrocuted while having a foot bath, and all eyes are on June. Can Lana find a way to solve this case before another fatality occurs in Asia Village?

Ho-Lee Noodle House is ready to win a local culinary competition--until a brand-new food venue literally explodes onto the scene.
Lana Lee is all smiles when the first evening of Cleveland's Asian Night Market kicks off the summer. The weekly festival is always good for business, packed with locals and tourists, and this year, some stiff new food-truck competition. Wonton on Wheels, run by old friends of Lana's parents, promises to have customers lining up for their delicately wrapped delights--until the truck blows up at evening's end.
Lana's boyfriend, Detective Adam Trudeau, had been planning a birthday getaway for the two of them but, lo and behold, Lana must assume the role of amateur sleuth yet again. With one proprietor of Wonton on Wheels dead, it's beginning to look more like murder and less like an unfortunate accident. And as they begin to unwrap layers of disturbing secrets, Lana's own family erupts into new drama. Will Lana be able to solve this crime--or has she jumped from the wok right into the fire?

Описание: Sarah Derbew brings into brilliant new focus varied portrayals of blackness in ancient Greek literature and art, while critiquing modern classical misappropriations which retroactively project contemporary theories of race and skin color onto archaic settings. This is a compelling contribution to better understanding of representations of blackness in antiquity.

This second volume of the ongoing annotated translation of Ssu-ma Ch'ien's Shih chi (The Grand Scribe's Records), widely acknowledged as the most important early Chinese history, contains the "basic annals" of five early Han-dynasty emperors. The annals trace the first century of Han rule (206 b.c. to ca. 100 b.c.) in a year-by-year account that focuses on imperial activities. In these later annals, Ssu-ma Ch'ien revitalized the style he had employed in accounts of previous rulers in the opening chapters of The Grand Scribe's Records. When this translation is completed, it will make available in English all 130 chapters of the Shih chi. Volumes 1 and 7 were published by Indiana University Press in 1994.
The Age of Discovery was a fabulous yet mysterious time. Beginning from early fifteenth century Europeans took to the sea in droves. The result is the discovery of entire heretofore unknown landmasses, including the Americas, Australia, Greenland, Iceland, and others. Indeed that is why the time is known as the Age of Discovery. From the European point of view Europeans "discovered" these places. Today we hail personalities such as Vasco da Gama, Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan and the like as heroes. Yet we know pitifully little about the history of the period. There are scant official records. Most of what we take as history is in fact basically legends and mythology. Facts are in short supply. Is the name America really derived from from Amerigo Vespucci, a minor adventurer who did not explore the new continents? Today even textbooks attribute the honor to him, but in fact we have no proof that the name America was indeed derived from the name Amerigo.
Why are American Natives called Indians? Are they from India? Hardly. Then why do we call them Indians? Where did the name California come from? Is that an Indian name? Nobody knows. The fact is, the Age of Discovery is full of such conundrums and questionable assertions. Much of what is accepted as history is in fact false. Yes, Christopher Columbus did not discover America Da Gama, who was credited with opening the sea route from Europe to the East, was a savage and brutal man. Hernan Cortes, who conquered Mexico, was a failed legal scholar that could not make good at home and took to adventures. His cousin Francisco Pizarro, who conquered the Incas and founded Peru, was an illiterate, uneducated, illegitimate son of a minor military man. Our heroes of exploration were across-the-board ruffians. What drove them to risk their lives for greatness?
In the prequel of the present book, The Chinese Origin of the Age of Discovery (now 2nd Edition), the case is made that some five hundred years ago Europeans took to the sea because they had inherited the knowledge of the world from the Chinese. At the beginning of the 15th century the Chinese Ming Dynasty had a civil war. At the end the young emperor was defeated by his uncle and vanished. Most thought he died, but the victorious uncle, who was now the new emperor, thought the ex-emperor had escaped overseas, so he built the greatest fleet the world had never seen before to go after him. Thus the Ming fleet roamed the waters of the world for thirty years, and its exploits were learned by the Europeans, who utilized the Chinese sea charts to go to sea, ushering in the Age of Discovery.
Ironically, today historians are unsure of the true purpose of these grand expeditions, and the history of the period is largely lost. In its place absurd theories disguised as history took hold. Now it is claimed that the Ming fleets were enacted to spread the glory of the Ming civilization, to promote international commerce, and proselytize the messages of peace, and the greatest nation on Earth at the time had t do it for 30 years
In the mean time, the biggest mystery of them all: the disappearance of ex-Emperor Jianwen, was left unsolved. Yet, there exist a host of evidence-seemingly unrelated historical tidbits, often unexplainable and ignored-that can shed light on the events of the time. For one, the Ming fleets consistently sailed west. Does that not tell us something? Surprisingly, these historical remnants are not found in the Chinese archives, but in European documents and consciousness.
As the extension of The Chinese Origin of the Age of Discovery, 2nd Edition (ISBN 978-1548435554), The Hunt for the Dragon delves into the mysterious events of the world of six hundred years ago, and offers a shocking take on the extraordinary incidents that now mostly have been forgotten. Have we been propagandizing a wrong history all this time? You get to be the judge.

Описание: Well hello there. My name is Emma. I'd like to start off by saying I hope you enjoyed Jenny and Sally's little adventure to the haunted ship. They certainly enjoyed it themselves; they might even do it again a little birdie told me. I study English at Trent University in Oshawa, Ontario. Writing has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've experimented with everything from lyrical writing to trying out the format of scripts. Writing is never a repetitive job; it also has its little surprises. That's one of the reasons why I love it. This book was inspired by a class I took recently at school about children's literature. It also wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for all the little ones out there. This one is for you.
Описание: Chang Dai-chien (1899-1983), one of the most celebrated Chinese painters of the twentieth century, is renowned for his stylistic variety and unparalleled productivity. This book explores three key artistic dimensions--Chang's early ink paintings emulating ancient Chinese styles, his lively portrayals of nature made while residing in Brazil and California, and the transcendent splashed-ink art of his later years. Stunning reproductions of masterworks and insightful texts come together to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Chang's birth and his lasting connection to the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco.
