  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Ice age   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
An ice age is a period of long-term downturn in the temperature of Earth's climate, resulting in an expansion of the continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers ("glaciation").
Glaciologically, ice age is often used to mean a period of ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres; by this definition we are still in an ice age (because the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets still exist).
The present ice ages are the most studied and best understood, particularly the last 400,000 years, since this is the period covered by ice cores that record atmospheric composition and proxies for temperature and ice volume.

 Institute for Asian American Studies - Asian Americans Voter Registration Press Release
Massachusetts’ fast-growing Asian American population faces a “voter registration gap” as they attempt to turn population growth into political muscle, according to a new study, Enabling the Asian American Electorate: 2003 Voter Registration in Eleven Massachusetts Cities and Towns by the Institute for Asian American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
This represents a “registration gap” of 1.8 percent, or nearly 30,000 potential Asian American votes that go uncast with each passing election, according to the study, which is the most detailed report to date on Asian American political participation in Massachusetts.
Asian Americans, however, are predominantly foreign born and thus must become citizens before pursuing the registration process.

 ReORIENT: Global Economy in the Asian Age   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Asians were more productive and competitive than Europeans and Asia remained at the center of global economy until the industrial revolution.
His argument is that Asian economies were altogether facing a Kondratieff B-cycle in the first half of the 18th century and this allowed Europe to finally outdo the Asians.
Thus, contra Frank, I believe that Asian economic problems in the 18th century were not insurmountable and "the fall of Asia" was indeed a European creation.

In an acting career that spanned more than four decades, Mako, who was born in Kobe, Japan in 1933, was a familiar face in film and television, sometimes playing roles that stereotyped Asians.

As artistic director of East West Players, Mako staged classics such as Shakespeare's ``Twelfth Night'' and Chekhov's ``Three Sisters.'' In 1981, he devoted the entire season to plays pertaining to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II to coincide with the start of a national discussion on internment reparations.

Frank explains the Rise of the West in world economic and demographic terms that relate it in a single historical sweep to the decline of the East around 1800.
Another historical fact Frank uses to demonstrate the superiority of Asian economies over European economies is the per capita production in these two economies in the 16th to 19th century.
Another shortcoming in Frank's book is that he cannot adequately account for the "rise of the West" in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
