A Guide to Language Testing - Development, Evaluation, ResearchA Guide to Language Testing - Development, Evaluation, Research

This book was originally published in 1987, this post here is the edition reprinted by Foreign language teaching and research press in China with Chinese scholars' introduction. Except several pages of introduction in Chinese at the beginning of this book, the rest of the book is the same as the original edition.
As the title indicates, this book is an excellent guide to language testing. Henning makes great efforts to explain technical testing terms in very plain language. He covers almost all important aspects in testing, especially reliability and validity. His analysis is clear, detailed and thorough.

Women Through the Lens - Gender and Nation in a Century of Chinese CinemaWomen Through the Lens - Gender and Nation in a Century of Chinese Cinema

Gender and nation have often served as narrative subjects and visual tropes in Chinese cinema. The intersections between the two that occur in cinematic representation, however, have received little critical attention. Women through the Lens raises the question of how gender, especially the image of woman, acts as a visual and discursive sign in the creation of the nation-state in twentieth-century China.

The Phantom of the Temple - A Judge Dee MysteryThe Phantom of the Temple - A Judge Dee Mystery

Judge Dee presided over his imperial Chinese court with a unique brand of Confucian justice. A near mythic figure in China, he distinguished himself as a tribunal magistrate, inquisitor, and public avenger. Long after his death, accounts of his exploits were celebrated in Chinese folklore, and later immortalized by Robert van Gulik in his electrifying mysteries.
In The Phantom of the Temple, three separate puzzles—the disappearance of a wealthy merchant's daughter, twenty missing bars of gold, and a decapitated corpse—are pieced together by the clever judge to solve three murders and one complex, gruesome plot.
