Lingua Mongolia: Classical Mongolian grammar and tutorials

http://www.linguamongolia.co.uk


Lingua Mongolia, Aberystwyth, Wales, UK

Supplied note:
"Classical Mongolian script, grammar, and translation tutorials and resources - erep."

Self-description:
"The aim of this site [est. Dec 2004] is to assist in the task of learning Classical Mongolian, the literary language of the Mongols, which underwent very few changes from the time of the Mongol Empire to the early part of the twentieth century. [...] [T]he resources contained on this site will be of little use to those wishing to speak a modern dialect of Mongolian. Although time permitting I may add some Khalkha tutorials at some later date. If you have not studied Mongolian before, then the script tutorials will be the first place to start - here you can learn how to write Mongolian in the Uighur script. [...] If you have previously studied Mongolian then you might find the grammar section to be a useful on-line reference. Otherwise, the main bulk of the site is devoted to a step by step translation of the Chinese transcription of the 'Secret History', with full notes, and grammatical/linguistic analysis. There are also plans to include a searchable Mongolian dictionary of the classical language. [...] Due to the problems associated with displaying Asian languages on the Internet, Mongolian and Chinese text are displayed as graphics rather than system fonts."

Site contents:
Script, Grammar, Translations, Dictionary, Bibliography, Links, Contact.

Supplied note:
"Dear all: I am pleased to inform you about our official launching [8 Feb 2005 - ed.] of Access Indonesia website. The website is the principal output of a project jointly undertaken by University of Southern California (Los Angeles, United States) and Bandung Institute of Technology (Bandung, Indonesia). [...] The main purpose of the project is to foster a fuller interdisciplinary understanding of Indonesia through a 'one-stop website' (available both in English and in Bahasa Indonesia), which is designed for scholars, students, international development practitioners, policymakers, and the business community interested in Indonesia. [...]

The website is organized around six main sections:
(a) THEMES: [...] [Culture, Economy, Geography, History, and Politics] related to Indonesia. Each theme page contains full-text documents (including documents that are only accessible through our website), book and journal citations, and web-links. [...] (b) NEWS INDO SECTION: [...] news briefs of current news from Indonesia (updated weekly on Mondays). (c) STAT INDO SECTION: [...] statistical data on Indonesia both in excel and in html format (gathered from Indonesian and international organizations). (d) MAP INDO SECTION: [...] Web-GIS based thematic maps of Indonesia. (e) SLIDE INDO SECTION: [...] photographs from selected Indonesian cities (e.g. Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Banjarmasin) and a private collection by a professional photographer from Indonesia. (f) LEARNING TOOLKITS SECTION: It has one multiple choice quiz on different aspects of Indonesia and two map exercises to locate Indonesian islands and cities.

We also have a SPECIAL TSUNAMI SECTION that focuses on the disaster recovery and rebuilding processes in Aceh and North Sumatra, which were gravely affected by the recent Tsunami. We would be expanding this section during the coming months. We will soon be adding a BUSINESS MANUAL SECTION that may be of interest to those who would like to conduct business activities in or with Indonesia.
If you like to be informed about our activities and receive our weekly news summaries on Indonesia, please subscribe to our DIALOGUE INDO email list from the website. - km."

600 Years of Urban Planning and Development in and Around Tianjin, 1404-2004

http://wason.library.cornell.edu/Tianjin/


Wason Collection on East Asia, Kroch Library, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, US

Self description:
"[...] With the largest body of foreign architecture preserved on Chinese soil today, Tianjin represents a text book case regarding the political dimensions of colonial architecture, urban planning and the socio-economic relations between the East and the West. It was home to important historical figures, such as the last emperor of China (Pu Yi), or former President Herbert Hoover, who was stationed in Tianjin (together with the future First Lady) as an army engineer in 1899/1900; or the famous scholar Liang Qichao. [...] The exhibit aims to show how Tianjin developed as a colonial, urban 'collage city' of very diverse style and orientation; how the various parts and pieces (nine tenth of them of foreign extraction) defined themselves architecturally and socially; and how the parts constituted a functioning whole which dominated most of the economic and cultural landscape of Northern China for almost 100 years."

Site contents:
(1) Chinese Architecture; (2) Foreign Architecture; (3) Historical Background; (4) City Maps; (5) Commerce, Industries, and Finance; (6) Noteworthy People (Liang Qichao; Zhou Enlai; Pu Yi; Lord Elgin; Li Hongzhang; Eric Henry Liddell; John Hersey; Ma Sanli; Hongyi fashi (Li Shutong); Ni Ren Zhang (i.e. Zhang Mingshan); Yuan Shikai; Li Yuanhong; Cao Yu; Zhang Xueliang; Zhang Xiangwen; Herbert Hoover); (7) Expatriates.
