The New Cambridge History of Islam is a comprehensive history of Islamic civilization, tracing its development from its beginnings in seventh-century Arabia to its wide and varied presence in the globalised world of today. The six volumes reflect the geographical distribution and the cultural, social and religious diversity of the peoples of the Muslim world. Four volumes cover historical developments and two are devoted to themes that cut across geographical and chronological divisions, ranging from social, political and economic relations to the arts, literature and learning. Each volume's introduction sets the scene for the ensuing chapters and examines relationships with adjacent civilizations. Written by a team combining established authorities and rising scholars in the field, this will be the standard reference for students, scholars and all those with enquiring minds for years to come.

In Excavating the Afterlife, Guolong Lai explores the dialectical relationship between sociopolitical change and mortuary religion from an archaeological perspective. By examining burial structure, grave goods, and religious documents unearthed from groups of well-preserved tombs in southern China, Lai shows that new attitudes toward the dead, resulting from the trauma of violent political struggle and warfare, permanently altered the early Chinese conceptions of this world and the afterlife. The book grounds the important changes in religious beliefs and ritual practices firmly in the sociopolitical transition from the Warring States (ca. 453-221 BCE) to the early empires (3rd century-1st century BCE).
A methodologically sophisticated synthesis of archaeological, art historical, and textual sources, Excavating the Afterlife will be of interest to art historians, archaeologists, and textual scholars of China, as well as to students of comparative religions.

Throughout most of history, in China the insane were kept within the home and treated by healers who claimed no specialized knowledge of their condition. In the first decade of the twentieth century, however, psychiatric ideas and institutions began to influence longstanding beliefs about the proper treatment for the mentally ill. In The Invention of Madness, Emily Baum traces a genealogy of insanity from the turn of the century to the onset of war with Japan in 1937, revealing the complex and convoluted ways in which “madness” was transformed in the Chinese imagination into “mental illness.”
Focusing on typically marginalized historical actors, including municipal functionaries and the urban poor, The Invention of Madness shifts our attention from the elite desire for modern medical care to the ways in which psychiatric discourses were implemented and redeployed in the midst of everyday life. New meanings and practices of madness, Baum argues, were not just imposed on the Beijing public but continuously invented by a range of people in ways that reflected their own needs and interests. Exhaustively researched and theoretically informed, The Invention of Madness is an innovative contribution to medical history, urban studies, and the social history of twentieth-century China.

《中国古代建筑史(第3卷):宋、辽、金、西夏建筑》主要内容：中国古代建筑历史的研究，肇自梁思成、刘敦桢两位先生。从30年代初开始，他们对散布于中国大地上的许多建筑遗迹、遗物进行了测量绘图，调查研究，发表了不少著作与论文；又于60年代前期，编著成《中国古代建筑史》书稿。本次编著出版的五卷集《中国古代建筑史》，系继承前述而作。全书按照中国古代建筑发展过程分为五卷。《中国古代建筑史?第3卷:宋、辽、金、西夏建筑》为第三卷，中国古代建筑进一步规范化、模数化，形成中国古代建筑发展的高峰时期，包括宋、辽、金、西夏时期的建筑。

此书是巴特菲尔德史学立场两面性的集中体现，书中的内容也是贯穿巴特菲尔德史学生涯的核心问题。他认为，历史进程不是一条直线，而是一片迷宫，每个历史参与者的愿望和行动都卷入其中，往往会产生事与愿违的后果。换言之，历史转变的发生是特定历史条件和人与人之间互动的结果。关于史家技艺和道德判断，巴特菲尔德一方面赞扬了自吉本以来的“为过去而研究过去” 的研究态度，并揭示了历史概说的难处，另一方面则批判了历史学家急于对历史人物定罪的心态。

城市发展及都市化的问题已成为学界热点，地上地下“文献”涌现，中西文化比较蔚然成风。从历史上看，中国的城市研究有悠久的传统，除《东京梦华录》、《梦梁录》等名著外，更有大量的地方志乃至“坊巷志”流传至今。但却没有留下一部综合性的城市史著作，而且所论多偏重自然条件和社会生活方面。如今，中国的城市研究者又多以欧洲城市为范本，甚至以欧洲的封建制度和工业革命来解释中国的城市发展史，未免隔靴掻痒。
相比之下，本书有两大独到之处。其一：用宏观的角度，从经济层面上来探讨中国城市的曲折发展与特殊问题。其二：充分体认中国这个具有广博文化和独特文明的国家的高度复杂性，以此出发来研究它的城市发展史。

本书是一本从社会史和概念史角度研究“中国近代”之轮廓的著作。第一编涉及清朝统治之下满汉关系的变化。从社会史角度关注“中国近代”的复杂性，并非要将中国近代打入另册，而是为了更准确地在全球视野下把捉中国如何应对来自西方的冲击。第二编从东西关系讨论西方近代知识的传入与再生产之问题。第三编选择宗教/基督教题材，讨论内在于中国近代的自他关系。第四编讨论了上述不同面相与论者持有的方法之间的关系。

本书荟萃了西方著名汉学家杜希德、姜士彬、伊沛霞、葛涤风、陈美丽、霍姆格伦等先生研究中国中古时期高门大族和统治精英最为重要的研究成果。门阀士族作为中古时期客观存在的历史现象，对其本质究竟如何认识？是贵族政治，皇权政治，抑或官僚政治的变态？西方学者综合利用传统文献和新出资料，结合人类学、社会学和历史学研究方法，从社会流动、大族人名、地方基础、政治权力、姻亲关系、身份认同等方面进行综合考察，尤其对于门阀士族的延续性、稳定性和权力构成进行讨论，各申己说，交互辩难，展开极为有益的探索和争论，构成中古士族研究百年学术史中极为重要的一环。本书既是对西方学者研究中古士族问题的总结和反思，也期望借此推动中古士族社会和中古史研究的深入开展。

In this path-breaking book, Tong Lam examines the emergence of the “culture of fact” in modern China, showing how elites and intellectuals sought to transform the dynastic empire into a nation-state, thereby ensuring its survival. Lam argues that an epistemological break away from traditional modes of understanding the observable world began around the turn of the twentieth century. Tracing the Neo-Confucian school of evidentiary research and the modern departure from it, Lam shows how, through the rise of the social survey, “the fact” became a basic conceptual medium and source of truth. In focusing on China’s social survey movement, A Passion for Facts analyzes how information generated by a range of research practices—census, sociological investigation, and ethnography—was mobilized by competing political factions to imagine, manage, and remake the nation.

How does China project its image in the world? Why and how has the world come to form certain impressions of the Chinese and their way of life? These are issues that preoccupy Chinese citizens in the globalizing 21st century as they travel overseas, riding on the capacity of the country’s newly acquired economic power. In Visualizing China, the authors join forces to launch a broader inquiry aimed at a synergistic understanding of the larger story of visuality in modern China. The essays cluster around several nodal points including photographs, advertising, posters and movies, spanning … read morefrom the 1840s to the 1960s, and devote special attention to modern Chinese practices in the visualization of things Chinese.

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."

A widespread conviction in the need to rescue China’s children took hold in the early twentieth century. Amid political upheaval and natural disasters, neglected or abandoned children became a humanitarian focal point for Sino-Western cooperation and, ultimately, intervention in family life. Chinese academics and officials sought new scientific measures, educational institutions, and social reforms to improve children’s welfare. Successive regimes encouraged teachers to shape children into Qing subjects, Nationalist citizens, or Communist comrades.
In Raising China’s Revolutionaries, Margaret Mih Tillman offers a novel perspective on the political and scientific dimensions of experiments with early childhood education from the early Republican period through the first decade of the People’s Republic. She traces transnational advocacy for child welfare and education, examining Christian missionaries, philanthropists, and the role of international relief during World War II. Tillman provides in-depth analysis of similarities and differences between Nationalist and Communist policy and cultural notions of childhood. While both drew on preschool institutions to mobilize the workforce and shape children’s political subjectivity, the PRC rejected the Nationalists’ commitment to the modern, bourgeois family. With new insights into the roles of experts, the cultural politics of fundraising, and child welfare as a form of international exchange, Raising China’s Revolutionaries is an important work of institutional and transnational history that illuminates the evolution of modern concepts of childhood in China.

近二十年来，国内外学术界对中国灾荒史的研究有着浓厚的学术兴趣，发表了大量富有启发意义的学术成果，其中尤以清代灾荒问题成为研究的重点。这是由以下三方面原因所决定的：首先，清朝是中国封建君主专制统治的最后一个王朝，也是离我们最近的一个封建王朝，当代中国的经济、政治、军事、外交、民族关系等诸多方面的问题，大都由清朝演化、延伸而来，研究清代的灾荒，对今天有着最直接的借鉴意义；其次，清代灾荒极其严重，而人民群众的抗灾斗争也积累了丰富的经验，政府的救荒机制及实际运作，也集古代荒政之大成，更加完备和系统，发展到了一个较高的水准；最后，迄今留下的有关灾荒的历史资料，也以清代为最多，例如我们所编的《中国荒政全书》中，清人所写的荒政著作就占了全部资料的百分之九十强，不可谓不宏富。如何在以往研究的基础上进一步加深和拓展对清代灾荒史的研究，是我们在2l世纪所面临的一个重大历史课题。
