Encroaching the Frontier: Boundaries and Diaspora in Ming and Qing China
David Faure 고려대학교 민족문화연구원 2017 Cross-Currents Vol.0 No.24
The two books being reviewed here do not really speak to a shared theme. Historian Ng Chin-keong's Boundaries and Beyond consists of selections from Ng's writings over the years about the development of maritime trade in Fujian Province in the Ming and Qing dynasties, while fellow historian Steven B. Miles's Upriver Journeys is his second attempt to probe the Cantonese travelers and settlers on their journeys into Guangxi (see Miles 2006). Yet, in a loose way, both books fit into the broad field now described as "Chinese diaspora" studies. "Diaspora" research deals not only with people traveling out from China but also with the impact of those migrants on their home territories. While most diaspora research follows the history of overseas Chinese, much of the diaspora logic applies also to migration within China. Miles indicates as much in his book's title...
The Verandah: Hong Kong's Contribution to a Southeast Asian and China-coast Urban Design
Faure, David East-Asian Society for Urban History 2021 Journal of east-asian urban history Vol.3 No.1
The verandah was a common feature of Chinese multi-storeyed houses in Southeast Asia and China. This paper argues that while an earlier version of a narrow walkway might have had its origin in Singapore, the building of an extension on the upper floors encroaching the airspace over the road skirting the building was an arrangement allowed by the colonial Hong Kong government in compensation to landlords for space devoted to ventilation. As the introduction of reinforced concrete allowed buildings to become taller, the more attractive it was to developers to incorporate the verandah design.

<P>Ocoee Lake No. 3 is the first reservoir receiving suspended sediments contaminated with trace metals discharged by acid mine effluents from the Ducktown Mining District, Tennessee. Bottom sediments (0-5 cm) from the lake were sampled to assess the potential for future adverse environmental effects if no remediation controls or activities are implemented. The sediments were found to include a major component (173 +/- 19 g kg(-1)) that dissolved in 6 mol L(-1) HCl within 24 h. This acid-soluble and relatively labile fraction contained high concentrations of Fe (460 +/- 40 g kg(-1)), Al (99 +/- 11 g kg(-1)), Mn (10 +/- 8 g kg(-1)), Cu (2000 +/- 700 mg kg(-1)), Zn (1300 +/- 200 mg kg(-1)), and Pb (300 +/- 200 mg kg(-1)). When the pH of water in contact with the sediment was decreased experimentally from 6.4 to 2.6, the concentrations of dissolved trace metals increased by factors of 2200 for Pb, 160 for Cu, 21 for Zn, 9 for Cd, 8 for Ni, and 5 for Co. The order in which metals were released with decreasing pH was the reverse of that reported for pH-dependent sorption of these metals in upstream systems. Substantial release of trace metals from the sediment was observed even by a modest decrease of pH from 6.4 to 5.9. Therefore, the metal-rich sediment of the lake should be considered as potentially hazardous to bottom-dwelling aquatic species and other organisms in the local food chain. In addition, if the reservoir is dredged or if the dam is removed, the accumulated sediment may have to be treated for recovery of sorbed metals.</P>
