"Dwelling in the World writes the history of the modern home into the history of modern China, arguing that during the first half of the 20th century, Chinese urban elites invented the modern home by drawing on a variety of global and local discourses, practices, and styles. This book re-frames modern Chinese social and cultural history, typically described in terms of national awakening, in a global context, while also challenging Euro-American historical notions that the modern private sphere was a natural development of industrialization. The author argues that home became a contact zone of foreign and domestic in which Chinese people developed new forms of social distinction, creating a new urban cosmopolitan class. Dwelling in the World focuses on a single city: the northern city Tianjin, a former Qing regional administrative city that became a treaty-port in 1860 and eventually home to nine foreign-controlled municipal districts or concessions. Tianjin's multiple foreign empires deconstructed and altered the urban landscape, unraveling Qing imperial authority in the built environment and re-orienting Chinese people and trade to a new global stage of multiple empires. After the Qing collapsed in 1911, Tianjin no longer had a single political center, and the Chinese household, once the cornerstone of the imperial order, became a contested material and social space. These changes allowed Chinese people to shape everyday life for themselves. After World War II Tianjin became a wholly Chinese city again, the Guomindang municipal government finally proposed a plan for public housing, and later, the post-1949 Communist government made housing a top priority. But as housing became a citizen's right guaranteed by Communism, Chinese people no longer had the space to define home for themselves. By opening the door to modern Chinese housing, the Communists had closed the door on the cosmopolitan home"--

Water resources are the most valuable resources of sustainable socio-economic development, which is significantly affected by climate change and human activities. Water resources assessment is an urgent need for implementation of the perfect water resources management, but it is difficult to accurately evaluate the quantity and quality of water resources, especially in arid regions and high-altitude regions with sparse gauged data. This book hosts 24 papers devoted to remote sensing in hydrology and water resources management, which summarizes the recent advancement in remote sensing technology for hydrology analysis such as satellite remote sensing for water resources management, water quality monitoring and evaluation using remote sensing data, remote sensing for detecting the global impact of climate extremes, the use of remote sensing data for improved calibration of hydrological models, and so on. In general, the book will contribute to promote the application of remote sensing technology in water resources.
