Fractured Fantasy

Expanded Chinese

The Chinese have expanded their military 27% in the past 10 years: WHY?

They have weapons systems specifically meant to blow up our aircraft carriers, evade missile detection, a huge standing army, and Hillary and Bill sold top secret weapons technology to them.

Besides McCain, neither democrat has any loyalty to the national security nor preservation of America. Obama wants to disband the military into little militias and give more than the defense budget to the corrupt UN. $865Billion…the only reason I can think of is his Islamic Africa agenda he shares with Wright, Odinga, and Farrakhan and Qadafi.

America will end with theDemocrats.

Probably for the same reason they are buying up lots of property in the continental United States.

End of the Century $5.66 End of the Century is the musical documentation of a form looking for rebirth. Having burned itself out in four short years by 1979 (that’s a short century!), punk rock cast about for a spark to reignite the flames. The Clash found it in political rage and musical wanderings; the Ramones found it by infusing their already well-honed pop sensibilities with a huge dose of pathos. Who’d have thought …

A Cultural History of the Chinese Language $45 Chinese, one of the oldest active languages, evolved over 5,000 years. As such, it makes for a fascinating case study in the development of language. This cultural history of Chinese demonstrates that the language grew and responded to its music and visual expression in a manner very similar to contemporary English and other Western languages. Within Chinese cultural history lie the answers to numerous questions that have haunted scholars for decades: How does language relate to worldview? What would happen to law after its language loses absolute binding power? How do music, visual, and theatrical images influence literature? By presenting Chinese not as a system of signs but as the history of a community, this study shows how language has expanded the scope of Chinese imagination and offers a glimpse into the future of younger languages throughout the world.

Modern Chinese Artists $45 The first biographical dictionary of its kind in any Western language, this pioneering work provides short, information-packed entries for approximately 1,800 Chinese artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In recent years interest in modern Chinese art has spread across the globe. Public and private collections are being formed; courses in modern Chinese art are offered in many universities and museums. At the same time, the number of practicing artists in China and the amount of published material have greatly increased. Michael Sullivan’s pathbreaking book Art and Artists of Twentieth-Century China, published in 1996, included a biographical index of some eight hundred artists. This volume includes more than twice that number, with entries that have been revised, expanded, and brought up to date. Illustrated with portraits and photographs of more than seventy leading artists, this comprehensive, convenient reference will be an essential tool for anyone interested in the study or collection of modern Chinese art.

The Chinese $19 In The Chinese, Jasper Becker, China's premier western correspondent, strips the country of its myths and captures the Chinese as they really live. For nearly two decades Becker has lived in China, and reported from areas where most visitors do not reach. Here he is at his most candid, reporting from all over the country: from tiny, crowded homes in the swollen cities of the southeast rim to a vast, secret network of thousands of defense bunkers in the northwest. He exposes Chinese society in all of its layers: from remote, illiterate peasants; to the rising classes of businessmen; to local despots; the twenty grades of Party apparatchicks; to the dominant, comparatively small caste of Party leaders who are often ignorant of the people they rule. Becker lets the Chinese speak for themselves, in voices that are rich and moving. He teaches a great deal about the magnitude–and the false face–of China's vaunted economic boom, and further shows the pervasive institutionalized crime that has risen out of economic poverty. In all, Becker reveals a China very different than our long-held assumptions depict. The Chinese is the hidden story of people of the world's largest nation–a nation so poorly understood and so vital to the future.

A History of Chinese Civilization $110 When published in 1982, this translation of Professor Jacques Gernet’s masterly survey of the history and culture of China was immediately welcomed by critics and readers. This revised and updated edition makes it more useful for students and for the general reader concerned with the broad sweep of China’s past. Written with an elegant and flowing narrative, the essential virtue of Jacques Gernet’s book is to see the history of Chinese civilization as a whole. Yet within the synthesis of the trends – social, political, religious, scientific, artistic – that make up China’s past and present, the author never loses sight of the telling detail that brings history to life. A History of Chinese Civilization is illustrated by a wide range of photographs, many maps, line drawings and tables. A detailed and updated chronological table and full bibliography complement the text and the expanded index now includes Chinese characters.

Bombs, Bugs, Drugs, and Thugs $25.81 Recent years have seen numerous books about the looming threat posed to Western society by biological and chemical terrorism, by narcoterrorists, and by the unpredictable leaders of rogue nations. Some of these works have been alarmist. Some have been sensible and measured. But none has been by Loch Johnson.Johnson, author of the acclaimed Secret Agencies and an experienced overseer of intelligence (Foreign Affairs), here examines the present state and future challenges of American strategic intelligence. Written in his trademark style — dubbed highly readable by Publishers Weekly — and drawing on dozens of personal interviews and contacts, Johnson takes advantage of his insider access to explore how America today aspires to achieve nothing less than global transparency , ferreting out information on potential dangers in every corner of the world.And yet the American security establishment, for all its formidable resources, technology, and networks, currently remains a loose federation of individual fortresses, rather than a well integrated community of agencies working together to provide the President with accurate information on foreign threats and opportunities. Intelligence failure, like the misidentified Chinese embassy in Belgrade accidentally bombed by a NATO pilot, is the inevitable outcome when the nation’s thirteen secret agencies steadfastly resist the need for central coordination.Ranging widely and fearlessly over such controversial topics as the intelligence role of the United Nations (which Johnson believes should be expanded) and whether assassination should be a part of America’s foreign policy (an option he rejects for fear that the U.S. would thenbe cast not only as global policeman but also as global godfather), Loch K. Johnson here maps out a critical and prescriptive vision of the future of American intelligence.

Lalo Schifrin: Enter the Dragon [Music from the Motion Picture] $17.98 As jazz became a popular element of film scores during the 1960s and 1970s, jazzman turned film composer Lalo Schifrin rose to prominence by penning notable jazz-inflected scores for films such as Bullitt and Dirty Harry. In 1973, he tackled a new challenge by writing the score for Enter the Dragon, an ambitious martial arts film that was the American debut of cult legend Bruce Lee. The resulting score combined Schifrin’s penchant for adding jazz and funk elements to the traditional film scoring style with elements of traditional Chinese music, giving the whole combination a new, ethnic flavor. The best example of this unique fusion is the film’s “Main Titles”: After establishing itself with a combination of jazzy horn stabs and funky wah-wah guitar, this inventive tune layers a Chinese-style melody played by strings and synthesizers over the insistent rhythms, creating a composition that cuts across several different musical genres while still fulfilling the requirements for an exciting action film theme. Another showcase for the film’s fusion of Chinese and jazz styles is “Su Lin (The Monk),” which layers Asian-styled melodic elements over churning jazz rhythms. Other highlights in the action-oriented style include “Bamboo Birdcage,” which alternates moody, wind instrument-driven sections with outbursts of horn-driven funk, and “The Big Battle,” which restates several of the film’s action themes over a percolating bassline. There are also a few quiet interludes, like the sax-driven mid-tempo jazz of “The Gentle Softness.” The result is an entertainingly diverse soundtrack whose musical invention makes it just as entertaining when listened to away from the film. Collector’s note: This soundtrack was reissued in 1998 by Warner Bros. as part of a deluxe video reissue of the film in an expanded edition that restored all of the film’s musical cues to the album. This review applies to that version. ~ Donald A. Guarisco, Rovi
