"The Reverend William Coxe was an English historian who travelled widely in Europe and Russia. During a stay in St. Petersburg, Coxe researched recent Russian discoveries between Asia and America, which resulted in the present work. He endeavoured to collect the journals of several voyages subsequent to Bering's 1741 expedition, with which Gerard Friedrich Muller had concluded his account of the first Russian navigations. Coxe recounts the principal Russian discoveries and explorations made in northwestern America in their attempts to open communications with Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. The voyages and discoveries of Nevodsikoff, Serebranikoff, Trapesnikoff, Pushkareff, Drusinin, Kulkoff, Korovin, Glotoff, Solovioff, Otcheredin, Krenitzin, Levasheff, Synd, Bering, Chirikiv, and several others are included.Coxe made suggestions which led the Russians to promote expeditions of discovery to the northern parts of Siberia. Notable in the present work are a useful bibliography and pertinent observations on the fur trade between the Russians and the Chinese" (Hill)

8vo, br. ed. 404pp. Seventy years after the Chinese Revolution of 1949, what remains of Mao&;s communist legacy? Afterlives of Chinese Communism comprises essays from over fifty world-renowned scholars in the China field, from various disciplines and continents. It provides an indispensable guide for understanding how the Mao era continues to shape Chinese politics today. Each chapter discusses a concept or practice from the Mao period, what it attempted to do, and what has become of it since. The authors respond to the legacy of Maoism from numerous perspectives to consider what lessons Chinese communism can offer today, and whether there is a future for the egalitarian politics that it once promised.
