With Worked Problems
Fundamental Mechanism, Materials and Applications for Thin Films
by Somnath Datta (National Council of Educational Research and Training, India)
by Jianguo Zhu, Dingquan Xiao & Jiliang Zhu (Sichuan University, China)
This book takes the reader from the preliminary ideas of the Special Theory of Relativity (STR) to the doorsteps of the General Theory of Relativity (GTR).
BOOKS
Against the backdrop of the increasingly interdisciplinary field, this book sets off to inform the basics of thin film physics and thin film devices. Readers are systematically introduced to the synthesis, processing and application of thin films; they will also study the formation of thin films, their structure and defects, and their various properties — mechanical, electrical, semiconducting, magnetic, and superconducting. With a primary focus on inorganic thin film materials, the book also ventures on organic materials such as self-assembled monolayers and Langmuir – Blodgett films.
The first part explains the main concepts in a layman’s language, including STR, the Lorentz transformation, relativistic mechanics. Thereafter the concept of tensors is built up in detail, especially Maxwell’s stress tensor with illustrative examples, culminating in the energy-momentum conservation in electromagnetic fields. Mathematical structure of Minkowski’s space-time is constructed and explained graphically. The equation of motion is formulated and then illustrated by the example of relativistic rocket. The principle of covariance is explained with the covariant equations of classical electrodynamics. Finally, the book constructs the energy tensor which constitutes the source term in Einstein’s field equation, which clears the passage to the GTR.
This book will be effective as a teaching or reference material in the various disciplines, ranging from Materials Science and Engineering, Electronic Science and Engineering, Electronic Materials and Components, Semiconductor Physics and Devices, to Applied Physics and more. The original Chinese publication has been instrumental in this purpose across many Chinese universities and colleges.

BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS FOR FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND SYSTEMS
HYPERBOLICITY IN DELAY EQUATIONS by Luis Barreira & Claudia Valls (Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal)
BOOKS
by Bashir Ahmad (King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia), Johnny Henderson (Baylor University, USA) & Rodica Luca (“Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi, Romania)
This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the study of hyperbolicity in both linear and nonlinear delay equations. This includes a self-contained discussion of the foundations, main results and essential techniques, with emphasis on those parts of the theory that are of sufficiently general nature and which apply to a large class of delay equations. The central theme is always on hyperbolicity and only topics that are directly related to it are included. Among these are robustness, admissibility, invariant manifolds, and spectra, which play important roles in life sciences, engineering and control theory, especially in delayed feedback mechanisms.
This book is devoted to the study of existence of solutions or positive solutions for various classes of Riemann – Liouville and Caputo fractional differential equations, and systems of fractional differential equations subject to nonlocal boundary conditions. The monograph draws together many of the authors’ results, that have been obtained and highly cited in the literature in the last four years. Contents: Preliminaries; Riemann – Liouville Fractional Differential Equations with Nonlocal Boundary Conditions; Systems of Two Riemann – Liouville Fractional Differential Equations with Multi-Point Boundar y Conditions; Systems of Two Riemann – Liouville Fractional Differential Equations with p-Laplacian Operators, Parameters and Multi-Point Boundary Conditions; Systems of Three Riemann – Liouville Fractional Differential Equations with Parameters and Multi-Point Boundary Conditions; Existence of Solutions for Riemann – Liouville Fractional Boundary Value Problems; Existence of Solutions for Caputo Fractional Boundary Value Problems.
The book is dedicated to researchers as well as graduate students specializing in differential equations and dynamical systems who wish to have an extensive and in-depth view of the hyperbolicity theory of delay equations. It can also be used as a basis for graduate courses on the stability and hyperbolicity of delay equations.
Readership: Mathematical and scientific researchers, and graduate students.

AN INTRODUCTION TO NONAUTONOMOUS DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ATTRACTORS
by Bashir Ahmad (King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia) & Sotiris K Ntouyas (University of Ioannina, Greece)
by Peter E Kloeden (Universitaet Tuebingen, Germany) & Meihua Yang (Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China)
The main objective for writing this book is to present some recent results on singlevalued and multivalued boundary value problems, involving different kinds of fractional differential and integral operators, and several kinds of nonlocal multi-point, integral, integrodifferential boundary conditions. Much of the content of this book contains the recent research published by the authors on the topic.
The nature of time in a nonautonomous dynamical system is very different from that in autonomous systems, which depend only on the time that has elapsed since starting rather than on the actual time itself. Consequently, limiting objects may not exist in actual time as in autonomous systems. New concepts of attractors in nonautonomous dynamical system are thus required.
Contents: Preliminaries; Nonlocal Boundary Value Problems with Different Kind of Boundary Conditions; Nonlocal Fractional Boundary Value Problems with Integral Boundary Conditions; Nonlinear FractionalOrder Boundary Value Problems with Boundary Conditions Involving Fractional Derivatives; Nonlocal Fractional-Order Boundary Value Problems with Discrete and Integral Boundary Conditions; Positive Solutions for Nonlocal Fractional-Order Boundary Value Problems; Nonlocal Fractional Boundary Value Problems with Generalized Fractional Integral and Derivative.
Featured Contents: Autonomous Dynamical Systems; Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems: Processes; Skew Product Flows; Entire Solutions and Invariant Sets; Attractors; Nonautonomous Equilibrium Solutions; Attractors for Processes; Examples of Pullback Attractors For Processes; Attractors of Skew Product Flows; Limitations of Pullback Attractors of Processes; Forward Attractors; and others.
Readership: Researchers working in the field of fractional calculus/boundary value problems; graduate students with major in fractional order boundary value problems; researchers working on the theoretical aspects of fractional differential equations and inclusions.
Readership: Upper level undergraduate, graduate students, researchers.

In addition, the definition of a dynamical system itself needs to be generalised to the nonautonomous context. Here two possibilities are considered: two-parameter semigroups or processes and the skew product flows. Their attractors are defined in terms of families of sets that are mapped onto each other under the dynamics rather than a single set as in autonomous systems. Two types of attraction are now possible: pullback attraction, which depends on the behaviour from the system in the distant past, and forward attraction, which depends on the behaviour of the system in the distant future. These are generally independent of each other.

An Introduction with Examples and Exercises by Shigeru Kanemitsu (Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan), Takako Kuzumaki (Gifu University, Japan) & Jianya Liu (Shandong University, China) This volume aims to bridge between elementary textbooks on calculus and established books on advanced analysis. It provides elucidation of the reversible process of differentiation and integration through two featured principles: the chain rule and its inverse — the change of variable — as well as the Leibniz rule and its inverse — the integration by parts. The chain rule or differentiation of composite functions is ubiquitous since almost all (a.a.) functions are composite functions of (elementary) functions and with the change of variable method as its reverse process.

The purpose of this book is to make available to beginning graduate students, and to others, some core areas of analysis which serve as prerequisites for new developments in pure and applied areas. We begin with a presentation (Chapters 1 and 2) of a selection of topics from the theory of operators in Hilbert space, algebras of operators, and their corresponding spectral theory. This is a systematic presentation of interrelated topics from infinite-dimensional and non-commutative analysis; again, with view to applications. Chapter 3 covers a study of representations of the canonical commutation relations (CCRs); with emphasis on the requirements of infinite-dimensional calculus of variations, often referred to as Ito and Malliavin calculus, Chapters 4 – 6. This further connects to key areas in quantum physics.

The objective here is to introduce the elements of stochastic processes in a rather concise manner where we present the two most important parts in stochastic processes — Markov chains and stochastic analysis. The readers are lead directly to the core of the topics, and further details are collated in a section containing abundant exercises and more materials for further reading and studying. This volume also features modern probability theory that is used in the non-random fields, such as MCMC, convex geometry and number theory. It provides a new and direct routine for students going through the classical Markov chains to the modern stochastic analysis. It employs more modern techniques, such as coupling and duality, and functional inequalities with Dirichlet form.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY
THEORETICAL CHEMISTRY / QUANTUM CHEMISTRY Textbook MANUAL FOR THEORETICAL CHEMISTRY by Dmitry Matyushov (Arizona State University, USA)
This study guide aims at explaining theoretical concepts encountered by practitioners applying theory to molecular science. This is a collection of short chapters, a manual, attempting to walk the reader through two types of topics: (i) those that are usually covered by standard texts but are difficult to grasp and (ii) topics not usually covered, but are essential for successful theoretical research. The main focus is on the latter. The philosophy of this book is not to cover a complete theory, but instead to provide a set of simple study cases helping to illustrate main concepts. The focus is on simplicity. Each section is made deliberately short, to enable the reader to easily grasp the contents. Sections are collated in themed chapters, and the advantage is that each section can be studied separately, as an introduction to more in-depth studies. Topics covered are related to elasticity, electrostatics, molecular dynamics and molecular spectroscopy, which form the foundation for many presently active research areas such as molecular biophysics and soft matter physics.

THE CASE FOR PATENTS by Daniel Spulber (Northwestern University, USA)
BOOKS
This book offers an affirmative case for the many economic benefits of the patent system and shows how patents provide incentives for invention, innovation, and technological change. The discussion highlights the many contributions of patents to economic growth and development. The book helps restore balance to public policy debates by recognizing the important contributions of the patent system.
by Hong Sheng, Lin Zhang & Pu Qian (Unirule Institute of Economics, China)
The book explains why the existing medical insurance system results in increased medical costs, where higher costs may offset the benefits of certainty brought by medical insurance, forming the “paradox of medical care insurance”. This assumption is verified by empirical evidence in China, through a new method developed to find out the actual medical costs, using two parameters: ratio of self-payment of medical insurance and the level of monopoly in the supply of medical services. The book also describes the history, the current situation, and the reform of the health care system in China.
Contents: Patents and the Market for Innovative Control; Patents versus Prizes; Patents and the Business Revolution; Patent Infringement and Reasonable Royalty Damages; Patent Licensing: Intellectual Contract and Intellectual Law. Key Features • The book will be useful for those interested in public policy debates about patents and Intellectual Property • The book will be useful for students and researchers interested in patents and technology.

BOOKS
by P S Suryanarayana
by Selçuk Çolakoğlu (Turkish Center for Asia Pacific Studies, Turkey)
The Elu s ive Tippin g Point: China-India Ties for a New Order is a timely foreign-policyrelevant book. This insightful book delves deep into the reasons for frequent diplomatic and strategic crises between Asia’s two dynamic ancient civilisations with post-modern capabilities. Set in the context of seventieth anniversary of China-India diplomacy, the spotlight is turned on their complex search for neighbourliness and global good. Often a mirage, the positive tipping point in their state-to-state relations is traced through the past, the present and the potential future. A controversial missed opportunity in the past and a collective-win approach for the present are explored. For Beijing and Delhi, imaginative all-weather dialogue is the best option if they wish to stabilise their engagement for the uncertain future.
Turkey and China analyses Turkey-China relations from political, economic, strategic, and cultural perspectives. Turkey’s policies towards Taiwan and the Uyghur cause are covered from the beginning. The Sino-Turkish cooperation on the economy, trade, the defence industry, energy, and nuclear technology are also elaborated. Crucially, the Silk Road partnership in the context of China’s Belt and Road Initiative and Turkey’s Middle Corridor has a deep-rooted focus alongside future perspectives. Finally, the roles of other actors — particularly the United States and Russia — in Sino-Turkish relations have a primary focus, further clarified by the impact of international organisations and forums like the United Nations, NATO, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the European Union, the G20, and BRICS.
Contents: A Glimpse of the Past; Re-Setting the Present; The Strategic Climate; Fragile ‘Partnership’ Under the Sun; Twining of Tibet and Kashmir Issues; The Tense Doklam Face-Off; Scanning Old Turf for New Games; A Collective-Win Approach; Diplomacy of Smart Power; Towards a Post-Modern Order; Epilogue (The Future).
Featured Contents: Turkey’s Relations with the Republic of China on Taiwan (1949 – 1971); Turkey’s Establishment of Diplomatic Ties with the People’s Republic of China and Initial Engagements (1971-1991); The Strained Sino-Turkish Relations (1992 – 1997); Ankara’s Beijing First Policy; Adjusting Turkey’s Relations with China (2010-2020); Silk Road Cooperation; Future Perspectives for TurkeyChina Relations; and others.

SERVANTS OF THE DEVIL
by Hongrui Zhao (Harbin Institute of Technology, China)
The Facilitators of the Criminal and Terrorist Economies edited by Norman Bailey (Galilee International Management Institute, Israel) & Bernard Touboul (Taccit Ltd, Israel)
How do you describe cyberspace comprehensively?
The book, Servants of the Devil: The Facilitators of the Criminal and Terrorist Networks, shows that this evolution has been possible, thanks to legitimate actors equipped with the legal, financial, technical, and influential means to facilitate the legitimization of criminals and the justification of such a criminal economy — the “Servants of the Devil” acting as the “legitimate” facilitators of the criminal and terrorist economies. The book aims to alert security authorities, government officials, business, professional and financial leaders, and the media that criminal and terrorist networks have thoroughly penetrated the political, economic, and social structures of the contemporary world, and they could not operate without the extensive and willing cooperation of these facilitators.

This book examines the relationship between cyberspace and sovereignty as understood by jurists and economists. The author transforms and abstracts cyberspace from the perspective of science and technology into the subject, object, platform, and activity in the field of philosophy. The purpose of investigating cyberspace and sovereignty is to plan good laws and good governance. This book argues that cyberspace has sovereignty, sovereignty governs cyberspace, and cyberspace governance depends on comprehensive planning. This is a new theory of political philosophy and sovereignty law.

ON THE META-CATEGORY OF CHINESE MUSIC AESTHETICS
Recommended for Bookshops
by Sai Yang (Shanghai Conservatory of Music, China)
HAS ASIA LOST IT? Dynamic Past, Turbulent Future
BOOKS
by Vasuki Shastry (Chatham House, UK)
This book opens with the emergence and development of the discipline of aesthetics in western countries, specifically the history of Western Music Aesthetics, to study and delve into the development of Chinese Music Aesthetics. The book provides a clear timeline throughout the writing — from the history of Chinese Music Aesthetics, to the construction of a theoretical framework, and the intersections and conversations between Western and Chinese Music Aesthetics. This academic piece is fundamentally consistent with the developing field of Chinese philosophical and literary research.
In his penetrating new book, well-known Asia expert Vasuki Shastry argues that while Asia’s reckoning may have been the subject of speculation before the pandemic, Covid-19 has made that inevitable. Inspired by Dante’s Inferno, Shastry takes readers on a journey through modern Asia’s eight circles of hell where we encounter urban cowboys and cowgirls fleeing rural areas to live in increasingly uninhabitable cities, disadvantaged teenage girls unable to meet their aspirations due to social strictures, internal mutiny, messy geopolitics from the rise of China, and a political and business class whose interests are in conflict with a majority of the population. Shastry challenges conventional thinking about Asia’s place in the world and the book is essential reading for those with an interest in the continent’s future.

LION CITY NARRATIVES
Struggling to Win at the Ballot Box
Singapore Through Western Eyes
by John F Copper (Rhodes College, USA)
by Victor Savage (S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)
Taiwan’s Politics in Action: Struggling to Win at the Ballot Box is about the most interesting and exciting aspects of Taiwan’s politics: political competition in the form of electioneering, campaigns and voting. The author first analyzes the theories, constructs or simply ideas about elections, especially who wins them and why.
The book does not attempt to make a definitive statement about the Western involvement in Singapore; it deals more with an association of many subjective Western perspectives that add colour to the liveability of the tropics, perceptions of the exotic Orient, and the myriad views of ethnic groups. Without the Western writings, paintings, and maps, academia would have minimal records of Singapore’s development. As a new colony in the early 19th century however, Singapore’s growth has been extremely well documented.
Contents: Lion City Narratives; What is the Narrative of Western Perceptions?; Tumasik: Surrogate Kingdom in the Alam Melayu; One Man’s Vision: Raffles’ ‘Singapore Child’; Tropical Nature & the Agricultural Mania; Urban Morphology: Street Life & Iconic Places; Singapore’s Imageability; Asia’s Navel: Cultural Pluralism; Colonialism Challenged: Stirrings of Independence; Reflections & Recollections.
Contents: Elections and Taiwan’s Politics; Ta i wa n ’s 2 0 1 8 M i d -Te r m E l e c t i o n : A Transitional Wave?; Taiwan’s 2020 Presidential, Vice Presidential and Legislative Election: A Watershed Event or Not?; Questions, Final Conclusions and Forecasts.

The most discussed by the pundits and the scholars are the watermelon and the pendulum theory: voting as before or not. The economic, or pocketbook, theory is also popular — although whether this means economic growth or greater equity has changed. Which party or candidate has the most money is also predictive. Other constructs or simply ideas are also commonplace. Divide and conquer is another approach. Another is the best campaign agenda; so too picking the most attractive candidates. Professionalism in campaigning and the use of social media are also favorite ideas.
This book will appeal to Singaporeans interested in understanding Singapore’s colonial past, Westerners interested in the Western cultural persona in the development of Singapore, researchers dealing with the urban development of less-developed countries and colonial development in the tropical world, and lastly, academics who are interested in Singapore and the region’s political and economic development as a case study.

ASEAN – CHINA COOPERATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT
CHINA’S POLITICAL ECONOMY IN THE XI JINPING EPOCH Domestic and Global Dimensions edited by Lowell Dittmer (University of California at Berkeley, USA)
BOOKS
edited by Yue Yang & Fujian Li (China Foreign Affairs University, China)
This book takes a fresh look at Chinese political economy at a key inflection point. Facing a more competitive international environment, Chinese reform has shifted from its earlier focus on economic liberalization and political decentralization to a more tightly organized, centralized form of state socialism. The Party-state’s vigorous fiscal reaction to the Global Financial Crisis (2008 – 2009) left the country with a much improved infrastructure and greater sense of national self-assurance. The more monocratic central leadership has redoubled efforts to fight poverty and pollution, push technological innovation, and at the same time rigorously enforce ideological consensus, political loyalty and anticorruption.
In order for the joint research by Network of ASEAN-China Think-tanks (NACT) to reach out to a much wider audience, NACT began to publish joint research of all Working Groups since 2019. This book is a collection of research papers contributed by ASEAN and China scholars who attended NACT Working Group Meeting on Regional Cooperation for Sustainable Energy Development on April 16, 2019 and NACT Working Group Meeting on Environmental Protection in ASEAN and China on May 17, 2019. The contributing scholars give their ingenious and insightful thoughts on ASEAN-China energy and environmental protection cooperation from either a national or a regional perspective.
Featured Contents: Introduction: The Transformation of Chinese Political Economy in the New Era (Lowell Dittmer); Domestic Political Economy: Consolidating Leninist Control of State-Owned Enterprises (Gang Chen); Who Hates Government Debt in China? (Kang Chen); The Political Economy of Working Class Re-formation (Marc Blecher); Political Economy of Food Security Issues in China (Jane Du & King Cheng); The Political Economy of Stability Maintenance under Xi Jinping (Martin Dimitrov & Zhu Zhang); On the Chinese Political Business Cycle (Roulan Chen and Lowell Dittmer); China in the World: China Goes Out (Shaun Breslin); Role of External Sector in Financial Reform (Barry Eichengreen and Guangtao Xia); and others.

Towards a New Multilateralism or Tripolarism by Xugang Yu (Dentons Law Offices, China), Mario Tettamanti (Link to Beijing Consulting Partnership, China – Switzerland) & Cristiano Rizzi (Link to Beijing Consulting Partnership, China & Eurasian Development Solutions, China) This book shows the impact of the recent trade tensions between China and the US on the world trade order, and how parties have reached a deal (so called “phase one”, January 2020), which could lead to a more comprehensive agreement, and the consequences of these “adjustments” in shaping new equilibriums.

Using historical dynasties and urban dynamics as vertical dimensions, it examines major historical events, economic developments, territorial changes, and other developments over China’s long history. It also discusses the uniqueness of China’s history and compares its civilisations to Western experiences.
Featured Contents: China’s Rising Role: The Needs of Further Reforms and International Cooperation for a Peaceful Coexistence. What are Trade Wars How to Avoid Them? (Xugang Yu)); Understanding the Background: Trade Confrontation Between China and the US.

The emergence of a city marks the beginning of a civilisation. The city, especially the leading cities of a country, is also where the major features of a country are contained and where historical events play out. This book introduces readers to the progress of China’s civilisation over more than 5000 years of history, through the rise and development of its cities.
WOMEN HOLD UP HALF THE SKY The Political-Economic and Socioeconomic Narratives of Women in China by Tai Wei Lim (Soka University, Japan & National University of Singapore, Singapore) This volume will look into some macro factors that have an impact on gender conceptualizations in China. First, China is a highly-centralized state with a one-party political system that is also an authoritarian strongman regime. Thus, policies (including those related to gender) from the center are promulgated centripetally to provinces, cities, towns, villages, and local areas effectively. Contents: Introduction: A Long March to Nationhood; Gender Rights; Confucianism, Traditionalism, and Patriarchy: Productive Forces and Middle Class Formation; Gender Parity; The Chinese Narratives: Coders, Engineers, Entrepreneurs, and Activists: The Lives of Women Who Made our Technological World Possible; New Age of Chinese Women: The Female Chinese Consumers; Conclusion: Epilogue: Post COVID-19 Job Situation; Bibliography. Readership: Undergraduates, graduates, and academics specialising in gender studies, women’s rights, women in China, or women’s rights in China. General public interested in women’s rights in China.
