本书的起因，乃是有一位朋友提出一个问题：“我”究竟是谁？这个问题不是一言两语可以解决的。本书的陈述，从新石器文化开始，结束于帝制皇朝退出历史。这漫长的时距，不下于一万年，乃是概括我们这一个复杂文化共同体演变的过程……在这几千年来，世界第一次走向全球化的时代，我们审察自己的归属和认同，也审察族群归属和认同的原则，应是非常严肃的课题，庶几我们不被狭窄而偏激的族群狂傲挟持，迷失了自己往前走的方向。
——许倬云
许倬云教授以系统论的方法，围绕着“中国究竟是什么，我们究竟是谁”这个问题，从新石器时代谈起，一直到清朝结束前夜，讲述“华夏/中国”这一个复杂的共同体是如何不断演变的。
本书的结构体例、行文风格，均属于“大历史”的范畴，没有铺陈细节，也没有繁琐的论证，而是选择每个时代在政治、经济、社会、文化方面的关键点，以及相互间的互动，来勾勒出各个时代的面貌，其中多有令人击节的真知灼见，也不时流露出作者对中国文化和当代社会的深切关怀。

近代以降，不仅有成千上万的中国人负笈留日，也有大量日本人来华留学，其中尤以日本官方派遣来华者为盛。这些被称为日本“留华学生”的群体，在近代中日关系史上扮演了复杂的角色，发挥了特殊的作用，折射出时代的光与影。同时，近代日本对华官派留学制度也伴随中日两国近代化而演进，与两国政治、经济、军事、外交及教育等诸多领域产生联系，具有重要的历史意义和研究价值。谭皓著的《近代日本对华官派留学史（1871-1931）》以1871—1931年为研究时段，依据中日双方原始档案史料，并与时人日记、游记、回忆录等个人记录互补互证，尝试考订史实，钩沉梳理近代日本对华官派留学制度的历史脉络，并力求对人物史事做出客观公允的评判。

华北根据地建立之初，节日就作为开展社会动员的有效场域受到中共领导的根据地政府的重视，在默许和迎合民间旧有节日传统的同时，引入和创造了许多具有现代意义的新节日。在延续旧传统和创造新节日的过程中，华北根据地的节日空间不断扩展，节日娱乐被赋予了更多革命性意涵。
本书从社会文化史的角度对1937～1949年华北根据地的节日文化生活进行考察，关注节日生活背后的传统与现代、官与民之间的关系变化，探讨华北根据地以节日为切入点开展的社会动员和社会治理过程。

本书选取民营经济极为发达、中国最富裕的省份之一浙江作为分析对象，在考察了1949年后浙江民营经济发展背后的政治逻辑之后，提出了一个典型的政治经济学分析框架：地方政治精英在历史原因所造成的政治权力结构中所处的不同地位，决定了地方政治精英出于自身政治利益最大化而对发展民营经济采取了不同的态度和方式。书中的逻辑不仅能够分析包括浙江在内的中国地方经济发展的绩效差异，同时也为进一步理解集权体制下的政治经济学及其性质提供了一个分析框架。

Product Description
As China is transformed, relations between society, the state, and the city have become central. The Great Urban Transformation investigates what is happening in cities, the urban edges, and the rural fringe in order to explain these relations. In the inner city of major metropolitan centers, municipal governments battle high-ranking state agencies to secure land rents from redevelopment projects, while residents mobilize to assert property and residential rights. At the urban edge, as metropolitan governments seek to extend control over their rural hinterland through massive-scale development projects, villagers strategize to profit from the encroaching property market. At the rural fringe, township leaders become brokers of power and property between the state bureaucracy and villages, while large numbers of peasants are dispossessed, dispersed, and deterritorialized, and their mobilizational capacity is consequently undermined.
The Great Urban Transformation explores these issues, and provides an integrated analysis of the city and the countryside, elite politics and grassroots activism, legal-economic and socio-political issues of property rights, and the role of the state and the market in the property market.

China's extraordinary rise as an economic powerhouse in the past two decades poses a challenge to many long-held assumptions about the relationship between political institutions and economic development. Economic prosperity also was vitally important to the longevity of the Chinese Empire throughout the preindustrial era. Before the eighteenth century, China's economy shared some of the features, such as highly productive agriculture and sophisticated markets, found in the most advanced regions of Europe. But in many respects, from the central importance of irrigated rice farming to family structure, property rights, the status of merchants, the monetary system, and the imperial state's fiscal and economic policies, China's preindustrial economy diverged from the Western path of development. In this comprehensive but accessible study, Richard von Glahn examines the institutional foundations, continuities and discontinuities in China's economic development over three millennia, from the Bronze Age to the early twentieth century.

一个世纪以来，消费主义的大潮让人无法独善其身，消费已经成为人们构建身份认同的渠道。本书紧扣“消费”这一线索，讲述了20世纪中国政治、经济、社会的诸多变化。在20世纪历史光影的诡谲多变中，购物和消费主义如何把这个古老的国家改造成今天的模样，消费者的集体面孔又是如何被一次 次地篡改与重塑。本书重新梳理了这背后繁复纷乱的历史线头与社会群像。
作者认为，在宏大的历史叙事之外，还隐藏着一个小体量的历史，它真实而琐碎地存在于我们的日常生活中，隐藏于每个家庭的锅碗瓢盆里，潜伏于我们目光无法达及的晦暗幽深处。由这些历史细节编织而成的，是消费主义在中国“本土化”的历史进程。每个消费者都是这段历史的见证者，他们在购物的同时，也在不知不觉中参与并改变着这段历史。

In 1968, the director of USAID coined the term “green revolution” to celebrate the new technological solutions that promised to ease hunger around the world—and forestall the spread of more “red,” or socialist, revolutions. Yet in China, where modernization and scientific progress could not be divorced from politics, green and red revolutions proceeded side by side.
In Red Revolution, Green Revolution, Sigrid Schmalzer explores the intersection of politics and agriculture in socialist China through the diverse experiences of scientists, peasants, state agents, and “educated youth.” The environmental costs of chemical-intensive agriculture and the human costs of emphasizing increasing production over equitable distribution of food and labor have been felt as strongly in China as anywhere—and yet, as Schmalzer shows, Mao-era challenges to technocracy laid important groundwork for today’s sustainability and food justice movements. This history of “scientific farming” in China offers us a unique opportunity not only to explore the consequences of modern agricultural technologies but also to engage in a necessary rethinking of fundamental assumptions about science and society.
“Sigrid Schmalzer creates an entirely new vision of the meaning and significance of “scientific farming” in China during the Mao era.….[A] must-read not only for modern China scholars but also for those who are interested in the history of science as political and social process, and in ongoing efforts to shed light on the possibilities of putting science to work in the service of greater equality and dignity for the world’s rural poor.”
(American Historical Review)
"At its core, this book is about socialist China's uses of science and technology to improve food production and the sociopolitical changes over time that have affected those involved in modern farming and agriculture. Cautioning that the Mao era was not one of unmitigated totalitarian oppression and ecological disaster, historian Schmalzer examines the complex relations of science and politics, raising such issues as who should be regarded as “scientists,” and how agriculture should be organized to maximize its benefits for all. Particularly interesting is the author’s investigation of the “rural scientific experiment movement." By comparing the fortunes of the “green revolution” in India and Africa, Schmalzer offers some unexpected political and social insights, contrasting US interests with those of the Chinese, who have also sought to bring their methods of agriculture and farming to third-world countries where politics is a highly visible concern on both sides of the capitalist-communist divide. Instructive and rewarding reading in recent Chinese history as well as the social politics of agriculture and farming in China and throughout the third world."

"Right on cue, this new work reveals the multifaceted and complex nature of science in the PRC. Red Revolution, Green Revolution looks at agricultural science and the unique and distinctive trajectory of the Chinese green revolution....demonstrates the manifold ways science filtered into the countryside and became the basis of the party’s interactions with the rural populace."
(Cross-Currents)
“Schmalzer’s reconstruction of the lived experiences of those who participated in the mass scientific experiment movement in China serves as a corrective to accounts of science in the years of the Cultural Revolution that emphasize failure, hardship, and suffering…[R]eading Red Revolution, Green Revolution productively upends one’s ideas about the nature of an agricultural experiment.”
(Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences)
“Upending familiar assumptions about the origins and consequences of the global Green Revolution, Schmalzer breaks important new ground in our understanding of modern Chinese history and the role of science in industrial agriculture. Rather than relying on misleading distinctions between modern and traditional, laboratory and field, politics and science, or even between the capitalist West and socialist East, Schmalzer convincingly draws our attention to the diversity of approaches taken in the effort to revolutionize Chinese agriculture in the 1960s and 1970s. This is a sophisticated political history from the ground up.”
(Shane Hamilton, University of Georgia)
“Writing with both elegance and precision, Schmalzer unveils the continuing imbrication of science and politics, not simply in the obviously hyperpolitical Maoist period, but also in the supposedly technologically driven Dengist era. She produces a nuanced, sophisticated description of agricultural scientific practices in the People’s Republic of China, one that challenges our assumptions about both Maoist agriculture and the Maoist period in general. Red Revolution, Green Revolution is a must-read for historians of modern China and historians of socialism, as well as historians of science and agriculture.”
(Fabio Lanza, University of Arizona)
"Agricultural science is inherently political. We may distrust the claim of technocrats and agribusiness that they conduct neutral research for the benefit of all, yet few of us would go so far as to advocate a full politicization of research, putting politics in command of laboratories and experimental fields. This, however, is what Maoist China did—and as Schmalzer demonstrates in her meticulously researched and beautifully written book, Maoist agricultural science worked, producing a socialist Green Revolution that was as impressive as the US-led Green Revolutions in India, Mexico, or the Philippines. Without romanticizing Maoist mass science, Schmalzer not only corrects the oft-repeated myth that Maoists were 'anti-science'; she shows that a different, more democratic and inclusive science was and remains possible."

This book outlines and analyzes the economic development of China between 1949 and 2007. Rather than being narrowly economic, the book addresses many of the broader aspects of development, including literacy, morality, demographics and the environment. The distinctive features of this book are its sweep and that it does not shy away from controversial issues. For example, there is no question that aspects of Maoism were disastrous but Bramall argues that there was another side to the whole programme.More recently, the current system of government has presided over three decades of very rapid economic growth. However, the author shows that this growth has come at a price. Bramall makes it clear that unless radical change takes place, Chinese growth will not be sustainable. This large, comprehensive text is relevant to all those studying the economic history of China as well as its contemporary economy. It is also useful more generally for students and researchers in the fields of international and development economics.
