This is a comprehensive portrait of Taiwan. It covers the major periods in the development of this small but powerful island province/nation. That history is as long and in many ways as dramatic as that of the United States, another pioneer culture. The chapters in the book are intended for the educated lay audience and for students from college to graduate level, as well as for historians of Asian and world history. Patterned after the multi-volume Cambridge History of China, this book has been planned from the ground up to be a comprehensive portrait of Taiwan from neolithic times to the pre

Using Taiwan’s third largest export industry - shoe manufacturing - as a case study, this work contends that economic development can be tied to Taiwan’s own cultural history as well as to the influx of foreign capital or the initiatives of the state government.

Communication of design risk within a transparent and rational framework is necessary in view of the increasing interest in code harmonization, public involvement in defining acceptable risk levels, and risk-sharing among client, consultant, insurer, and financier. Activities in code harmonization are particularly noteworthy. For the geotechnical engineering profession, there is added pressure for it to undergo a significant revamp because structural and geotechnical design are increasingly incompatible. The contributions in this volume tackle the important issues relating to new generation ge

For centuries, various great powers have both exploited and benefited Taiwan, their designs for this island frequently clashing with the desire of local inhabitants to control their own destiny. Such conflicts have shaped Taiwan?s multiple, and frequently contradictory, identities. Denny Roy contends that Taiwan?s political history is best understood as a continuous struggle for security. Eschewing the usual emphasis on the high politics of the recent era, he offers a comprehensive narrative of the island?s political history from the first Chinese settlements to the Chen Shui-bian presidency.
