Bunky cannot wait for the summer holidays! Soon, his entire family, including cousin Rodney, his little Wolf Plum, and Bunky’s best friend, Rosalia, travel to the North Pole in order to visit Santa Claus. During their stay at the North Pole, Bunky will have to challenge himself while diligently studying for the Golden Decimal Mathematical Contest. As a result, he will learn more about himself and about the mysterious ways in which one’s noble dreams come true. Eventually, he will also encounter the Northern Star. Bunky and the Summer Wish is a story about perseverance, personal integrity, self-acceptance, and finding one’s true worth and inner strength in a world seemingly dominated by competition. While Bunky makes a wish upon a star on a warm summer evening, he also makes a solemn promise to do everything in his might to impress those whom he loves the most—especially his beloved Rosalia. Throughout the story, he will learn more about his true value as a person and discover the importance of holding on to one’s dreams while having faith in the righteousness of one’s heart. It is the story of an imperfect yet noble hero—the story of almost every reader.

Mapping Chengde
Author: Philippe Forêt
language: en
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
Release Date: 2000-01-01
The imperial residence of Chengde was built by two powerful and ambitious Manchu emperors between 1703 and 1780 in the mountains of Jehol. The site, which is on UNESCO's World Heritage List, combines the largest classical gardens in China with a unique series of grand monasteries in the Sino-Tibetan style. Mapping Chengde, the first scholarly publication in English on the Manchu summer capital, reveals how this unlikely architectural and landscape enterprise came to help forge a dynasty's multicultural identity and concretize its claims of political legitimacy. Using both visual and textual materials, the author explores the hidden dimensions of landscape, showing how geographical imagination shaped the aesthetics of Qing court culture while proposing a new interpretation of the mental universe that conceived one of the world's most remarkable examples of imperial architecture.
