Mao's War Against Nature: Politics and the Environment in Revolutionary China by Judith Shapiro, ISBN 0521786800
In clear and compelling prose, Judith Shapiro relates the great, untold story of the devastating impact of Chinese politics on China's environment during the Mao years. Maoist China provides an example of extreme human interference in the natural world in an era in which human relationships were also unusually distorted. Under Mao, the traditional Chinese ideal of "harmony between heaven and humans" was abrogated in favor of Mao's insistence that "Man Must Conquer Nature." Mao and the Chinese Communist Party's "war" to bend the physical world to human will often had disastrous consequences both for human beings and the natural environment. Mao's War Against Nature argues that the abuse of people and the abuse of nature are often linked. Shapiro's account, told in part through the voices of average Chinese citizens and officials who lived through and participated in some of the destructive campaigns, is both eye-opening and heartbreaking. Judith Shapiro teaches environmental politics at American University in Washington, DC. She is co-author, with Liang Heng, of several well known books on China, including Son of the Revolution (Random House, 1984) and After the Nightmare (Knopf, 1986). She was one of the first Americans to work in China after the normalization of U.S.-China relations in 1979.
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Realm Of Fear
When the Enterprise encounters the U.S.S. Yosemite trapped in a plasma stream, Lt. Barclay (Dwight Schultz) comes up with a plan to free the vessel. After a session with Troi (Marina Sirtis), he is able to overcome his fear of the transporter and make the trip to the stricken ship. But while transporting back, a mysterious creature appears in the matter stream and touches Barclay's arm.
Back on the Enterprise, fear turns to terror when his arm begins to radiate light. Meanwhile, an autopsy on a Yosemite crew member reveals that his body was invaded by high energy plasma life forms. It appears Barclay's body is being invaded by the same creatures. To survive, he must conquer his fears and re-enter the realm of the matter stream.

Transport Phenomena in Partially Ionized Plasma by Vladimir A. Rozhansky, ISBN 9056990381
Transport phenomena in plasmas are the relatively slow process of particle, momentum and energy transport in systems in a state of mechanical equilibrium. In contrast to neutral gases, these phenomena in plasmas are greatly influenced by self-consistent fields in particular electric fields. These can produce particle and energy fluxes, in addition to those generated by the homogeneity of the plasma composition and temperature. As a result, the physical effects accompanying transport phenomena in plasmas are far more numerous and complicated than those in neutral gases, and the solution of corresponding problems is more difficult. The effects however, are usually far more interesting and sometimes surprising.
Presenting a systematic survey and analysis of the main mechanism of transport phenomena in plasma this book also gives examples of gradually increasing complexity to illustrate these mechanisms and the relationships between them. Special attention is paid to the analysis of experimental...

The China Challenge: Standing Strong Against the Military, Economic, and Political Threats That Imperil America
The People's Republic of China has emerged as a significant regional superpower. At best, China will be an economic challenge to the United States; at worst, the PRC will be a very real national security threat. Dillon persuasively argues that a Cold War mentality cannot work against China. The U.S. must instead end its appeasement of China and craft an ambitious new geostrategic plan.
