This is the first of two archival guides to official sources which are published as an integral part of the British Documents on the End of Empire Project (BDEEP) and also as Public Record Office handbooks. They should enable those wishing to follow the record of the ending of colonial rule and empire to pursue their enquiries beyond the published record provided by the general studies in series A of BDEEP and the country studies in series B. In addition, this volume has a much wider application to studies of empire. A revised and updated version of The Records of the Colonial and Dominions Offices (by R.B. Pugh, published in 1964), it describes the administrative arrangements for handling Britain's relations with its dependent territories, and the records created by those processes, from the late 17th century until 1968 when the Commonwealth Office merged with the Foreign Office to become the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

The importance of the relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of China has only grown since Richard Nixon's epochal visit in 1972. By the early twenty-first century, when the rise of China had become an inescapable fact, most American policy makers and experts saw bilateral ties with China as the most consequential foreign-relations priority for the United States. In recent years, even before the coronavirus pandemic, the U.S.-China relationship has rapidly deteriorated--and the whole world has felt the consequences. This book brings together leading China specialists to offer a retrospective on relations between the United States and China over the last half-century and consider what might be next. The contributors--including academics, leaders of China-related nongovernmental organizations, and former diplomats and government officials--analyze the relationship from a range of perspectives: political, diplomatic, economic, social, cultural, commercial, educational, medical, and military. They reassess American engagement with China from the late Mao years onward, covering leaders from Deng Xiaoping through Xi Jinping. The contributors highlight not only the accomplishments and hard-won successes of engagement but also the mistakes and misunderstandings, acknowledging the well-earned distrust and genuine frictions that plague the relationship today. Multidisciplinary and comprehensive, Engaging China is a vital reconsideration for a time when the stakes of U.S. policy toward China have never been higher.

Anne Thurston takes familiar biblical stories about women and reads them against the grain. From her perspective as a Christian feminist, the author resists traditional interpretations and sets out to discover what the texts might be inviting us to today. Thurston is particularly interested in seeing whether these texts can be life-giving for both women and men. Can they be understood as liberating? Can women be nourished for their faith journey from these roots? Can they help to transform the Christian community today?

In response to Tom Brokaw's The Greatest Generation, Anne Thurston, one of his WWII wives, tells the story of the new frontier her generation is exploring today as they plunge into unexpected longevity. Like their ancestors who invaded America's West back in the 1800s, they are penetrating cyberspace to discover end-of-life adventure, love, and laughter. Not a historical and brave man but rather as a woman, she has plunged into the unknown world of online dating all because of a promise she made with her husband as he laid dying of Alzheimer's. She was to seek an end-of-life companion. The promise allowed him to leave with a smile. With all of society's terrifying consequences flung in her face, Anne thumbed her nose and took off. Not a liar, her story is beyond belief, true as it is. All of us have those years waiting for us down the road. Take a peek at them with Anne.
