Many see China`s rise as a threat to U.S. leadership in Asia & beyond. Thomas J. Christensen argues instead that the real challenge lies in dissuading China from regional aggression while eliciting its global cooperation. Drawing on decades of scholarship & experience as a senior diplomat, Christensen offers a deep perspective on China`s military & economic capacity. Assessing China`s political outlook & strategic goals, Christensen shows how nationalism & the threat of domestic instability influence the party`s decisions about regional & global affairs. If China obstructs international efforts to confront nuclear proliferation, civil conflicts, financial instability, & climate change, those efforts will likely fail; but if China merely declines to support such efforts, the problems will grow vastly more complicated. Articulating a balanced strategic approach along with perceptive historical analysis, Christensen describes how we might shape China`s choices in the coming decades so that it contributes more to the international system from which it benefits so much. ...

THE AWARDWINNING INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLEREven in hell, hope can flower` Eger`s remarkable spirit shines through in every word` Stylist In 1944, sixteen-year-old Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. There she endured unimaginable experiences, including being made to dance for the infamous Josef Mengele.

When their camp was finally liberated, Edith was pulled from a pile of bodies, barely alive.

The Am Spiegelgrund clinic, in glittering Vienna, masqueraded as a well-intentioned reform school for wayward boys & girls & a home for chronically ill children. The reality, however, was very different: in the wake of Germany`s annexation of Austria on the eve of World War Two, its doctors, nurses, & teachers created a monstrous parody of the institution`s benign-sounding brief. The Nazi regime`s euthanasia program would come to determine the fate of many of the clinic`s inhabitants. Through the eyes of a child inmate, Adrian Ziegler, & a nurse, Anna Katschenka, Steve Sem-Sandberg, the author of the award-winning The Emperor of Lies, explores the very meaning of survival. An absorbing, emotionally overwhelming novel, rich in incident & character, The Chosen Ones is obliquely illuminated by the author`s sharp sense of the absurd. Passionately serious, meticulously researched, & deeply profound, this extraordinary & dramatic novel bears witness to oppression & injustice, & offers invaluable & necessary insight on an intolerable chapter in Austria`s past. ...
