This provocative book argues that fears of China often say as much about those who hold them as they do about the rising power itself. It focuses not on the usual trope of economic and military might, but on China's growing cultural influence and the connections between China's domestic politics and its attempts to brand itself internationally. Using examples from film, education, media, politics, and art, Who's Afraid of China? is both an introduction to Chinese soft power and a critical analysis of international reaction to it. It examines how the West's own past, hopes, and fears shape the way it thinks about and engages with China and argues that the rising power touches a nerve in the Western psyche, presenting a fundamental challenge to ideas about modernity, history, and international relations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49528612192529,"sku":"GOR006992185","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52407045325073,"sku":"NLS9781848135901","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848135904.jpg?v=1751985555"},{"product_id":"how-to-invest-better-than-the-average-primate-book-michael-barr-9780956524409","title":"How to Invest Better Than the Average Primate","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49618606522641,"sku":"GOR003039012","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53391299019025,"sku":"GOR004603467","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0956524400.jpg?v=1751077116"},{"product_id":"programming-embedded-systems-in-c-and-c-book-michael-barr-9781565923546","title":"Programming Embedded Systems in C and C++","description":"Embedded software is in almost every electronic device designed today. There is software hidden away inside our watches, microwaves, VCRs, cellular telephones, and pagers; the military uses embedded software to guide smart missiles and detect enemy aircraft; communications satellites, space probes, and modern medicine would be nearly impossible without it. Of course, someone has to write all that software, and there are thousands of computer scientists, electrical engineers, and other professionals who actually do. Each embedded system is unique and highly customized to the application at hand. As a result, embedded systems programming is a widely varying field that can take years to master. However, if you have some programming experience and are familiar with C or C++, you're ready to learn how to write embedded software. The hands-on, no-nonsense style of this book will help you get started by offering practical advice from someone who's been in your shoes and wants to help you learn quickly. The techniques and code examples presented here are directly applicable to real-world embedded software projects of all sorts. Even if you've done some embedded programming before, you'll still benefit from the topics in this book, which include: Testing memory chips quickly and efficiently Writing and erasing Flash memory Verifying nonvolatile memory contents with CRCs Interfacing to on-chip and external peripherals Device driver design and implementation Optimizing embedded software for size and speed Making the most of C++ without a performance penalty So whether you're writing your first embedded program, designing the latest generation of hand-held whatchamacalits, or simply managing the people who do, this book is for you.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49758447665425,"sku":"CIN1565923545G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49954053292305,"sku":"GOR002850415","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49973943337233,"sku":"GOR002950243","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50047805292817,"sku":"CIN1565923545A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51845019861265,"sku":"CIN1565923545VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1565923545.jpg?v=1750991342"},{"product_id":"embedded-c-coding-standard-book-michael-barr-9781721127986","title":"Embedded C Coding Standard","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50061792837905,"sku":"CIN1721127984G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50986281992465,"sku":"CIN1721127984VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51047849984273,"sku":"NIN9781721127986","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52701128884497,"sku":"GOR012904622","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53563130544401,"sku":"CIN1721127984A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1721127984.jpg?v=1751121275"},{"product_id":"programming-embedded-systems-book-michael-barr-9780596009830","title":"Programming Embedded Systems","description":"If you have programming experience and a familiarity with C - the dominant language in embedded systems - \"Programming Embedded Systems, Second Edition\" is exactly what you need to get started with embedded software. This software is ubiquitous, hidden away inside our watches, DVD players, mobile phones, anti-lock brakes, and even a few toasters.

Fame, however, did not stick to Bulldog Turner because the positions he played rarely made headlines. Bulldog played center and linebacker, while the recognition, glory, and money went to those who scored touchdowns. Like Pudge Heffelfinger, Fats Henry, Ox Emerson, George Trafton, Bruiser Kinard, Adolph Shultz, or Mel Hein, Bulldog Turner is a ghostly character from football's leather helmet days. Still, no man played his positions better than Bulldog Turner. He was the ideal combination of size and speed, and every coach's dream: a lineman who could block like a bulldozer, run like a halfback, and catch like a receiver. Despite his talents, Bulldog never made much money playing football, and what he did earn slipped through his fingers like sand. When he retired, his iconic nickname faded from memory. He died in relative obscurity on what remained of his Texas ranch. Remembering Bulldog Turner brings an NFL great into the limelight he never enjoyed as a football player.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53262940799249,"sku":"NGR9781682833100","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53349815582993,"sku":"NLS9781682833100","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53354002972945,"sku":"NIN9781682833100","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781682833100.jpg?v=1774950322"},{"product_id":"who-s-afraid-of-china-book-michael-barr-9781848135895","title":"Who's Afraid of China?","description":"If China suddenly democratised, would it cease being labelled as a threat?
