In Chinese Mythology, Anne Birrell provides English translations of some 300 representative myth narratives selected from over 100 classical texts, many of which have never before been translated into any Western language. Organizing the narratives according to themes and motifs common to world mythology, Birrell addresses issues of source, dating, attribution, textural variants, multiforms, and context. Drawing on exhaustive work in comparative mythology, she surveys the development of Chinese myth studies, summarizes the contribution of Chinese and Japanese scholars to the study of Chinese myth since the 1920s, and examines special aspects of traditional approaches to Chinese myth. The result is an unprecedented guide to the study of Chinese myth for specialists and nonspecialists alike.

Combines fundamental and applied aspects, including preparing novel enzyme systems isolated from nature and using enzymes in a wide variety of industrial processes. A major theme is enzyme technology, which has had a broad impact in biotechnology, synthetic chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Some 120 papers include studies of biosensors for environmental monitoring, fighting nerve-agent chemical weapons with enzyme technology, the kinetics of inactivating enzymes by inert gas bubbling, applying thick-film technology in the mass production of biosensors, developing recombinant bacteria for degrading dibenzothiophene, sorbitol oxidase from microorganisms, improving the stability of soybean and horseradish peroxidases by covalent chemical modification, analyzing glycolysis-relevant compounds in saliva by microbiosensors, and designing and constructing a new nucleozyme.
