In order to realize this hope, it firstly depends on the transformation from the previous high birth rate, high death rate, and low growth rate of population, to a high birth rate, low death rate, and high growth rate, and finally to a low birth rate, low death rate, and low growth rate.

Notable for its analysis of real-life cases and frank interviews with lawyers, this unique ethnographic study of German prosecutorial decision making shows how efficiency measures such as charge bargaining are undermining the system's celebrated objectivity.

This book covers advances in science and technology communication and popularization practice and research (STCP) both in China and abroad. It calls for a greater emphasis to be placed on research into promoting scientific literacy.

This book reports on the origin and history of polycondensation chemistry beginning in the first half of the 19th century. It also discusses the classical theory of step-growth polymerizations in the light of the latest experimental and theoretical results.
