Hi there
I am particularly interested in the interaction of "honor" and "humiliation." Given your China associations I am pretty certain that you have the latter in your books somewhere. Honor perhaps not. Regardless I am wondering which volume I should purchase to have access to anything you include about humiliation.
"The new appendix": it's more accurate to say "The new material."
It is with sadness that I report the passing of Mary G. Mazur, a historian of China, whose work on the historian Wu Han was an original and valuable contribution to modern Chinese history. Mary passed away quietly at her home in Longbranch, Washington, surrounded by her family. Her husband, Robert [Bob] Mazur, (who predeceased her) was a distinguished chemist and she moved to Whiskey Beach in 1997 after his retirement. She leaves two sons, Steven and Daniel and a daughter, Amy.
