《汉字传播史》内容简介：汉字传播问题是一个复杂的问题，第一，要整理出传播的路线和时间，即传播的地理走向和传播的历史时间。第二，要弄清传播的状态，该民族如何使用汉字和使用的范围。第三，民族文字的创制，弄清民族文字的蓝本是什么，是一元的还是二元的，或者多元的踏实的研究。本书希望能一一回答这些问题，当然，对水知的探索有一个过程，这既取决于笔者的能力，更取决于客观条件。
同时在南方的少数民族的古文字研究虽然规模不大，但有持续不断的研究，不断有新的材料出现。这两方面的成果是我展开深入研究的基础，使本书具有较高的起点，把力量集中于传播本体上，解决一些疑难问题。

《中外出版史》的框架结构和写作大纲由肖东发设计和拟定。其中上篇“中国出版史”部分由肖东发、杨虎和肖莎合作完成。下篇“外国出版史”部分，鉴于外国出版史史料与参考文献的国别属性特别强，除第六章“外国古代出，版史”和第七章“外国中世纪出版史”由于文独立编著外，外国近现代出版史部分首先由多人分国别撰写初稿，其中于文撰写英国部分和德国部分，诸葛蔚东撰写日本部分，李武撰写美国部分，闻新芳撰写法国部分，帅震撰写澳大利亚部分，最后由于文按照时间线索和横向系统重新组织，完成外国近现代出版史部分的编写。

The Cambridge University Press published (1945-1967) in six volumes Professor Bailey's transcriptions of Saka manuscripts found in Sin Kiang and Kansu (of the ancient kingdom of Khotan). They are central to any study of Old Iranian and the Iranian dialects; and they are also important for further understanding of the religious tradition in the sacred Avesta of the Zoroastrians, and for the history of the peoples of Central Asia generally. This 1979 dictionary represents the fulfilment of a plan formed in 1934 which required first the editing and transcription of the manuscripts, and then the slow elucidation of the whole corpus of texts. It contains a linguistic analysis and translation of all the Iranian words used in the texts. It is the necessary key to the understanding of the texts, to the mastery of the language itself, and to the linking of Khotan Saka into the Indo-European linguistic tradition.

Liddell & Scott's Greek-English Lexicon (9/e 1940) is the most comprehensive and up-to-date ancient Greek dictionary in the world. It is used by every student of ancient Greek in the English-speaking world, and is an essential library and scholarly purchase there and in W. Europe and Japan. The main dictionary covers every surviving ancient Greek author and text discovered up to 1940, from the Pre-Classical Greek of the 11C - 8C BC (for example Homer and Hesiod), through Classical Greek (7C - 5C BC) to the Hellenistic Period, including the Greek Old and New Testaments. Entries list irregular inflections, and together with the definition, each sense includes citations from Greek authors illustrating usage. The Lexicon is Greek into English only, as are other ancient Greek dictionaries. This is the market expectation among both students and scholars. In 1968 the Lexicon was updated with a Supplement, which was available as a separate volume (until 1992) or bound together with the dictionary. Representing the culmination of 13 years' work, the new Revised Supplement is a complete replacement for the 1968 Supplement. Nearly twice the size of the 1968 edition, with over 20,000 entries, it adds to the dictionary words and forms from papyri and inscriptions discovered between 1940 and the 1990s as well as a host of other revisions, updatings, and corrections to the main dictionary. Linear B forms are shown within entries for the first time, and the Revised Supplement gives the dictionary a date-range from 1200 BC to 600 AD. It is fully cross-referenced to the main text but additions have been designed to be easily used without constant reference to the main text.

The latest edition of the American Heritage Dictionary is out, and that's hot news--not just for the resolute followers of lexicographical minutiae, but for the general reading and writing public as well. Why? Because the American Heritage is a long-standing favorite family dictionary (never underestimate the value of pictures) and one of the prime dictionary references for magazines, newspapers, and dot.com content providers. For scads of writers and editors across the U.S., it sets the standard on matters of style and lexicographical authority.
So this new edition is exciting and noteworthy, but how good is it? In its favor, the fourth edition is as current a dictionary as you can get. It's six years fresher than the 1994 version, with 10,000 words and definitions you won't find in the still venerable but now slightly dated third edition. For example, unlike its predecessor (and also unlike the 1996 Oxford Encyclopedic English Dictionary), this fourth edition covers dot-com, e-commerce, and soccer mom, Ebonics, Viagra, and a surf definition for cruising television channels and the Internet.
Its panel of special consultants includes authorities on anthropology, architecture, cinema, and law, plus military science, music, religion, and sports, and that is reflected in an impressively comprehensive coverage of the arts, culture, and technology. Sadly, however, there are no medical consultants on the panel, and that loss is felt in some substandard medical definitions. Other flaws: there's a greater than usual tendency to define a word with a form of the same word--for example, fuzzy, whose first two definitions are "1. covered with fuzz." and "2. of or resembling fuzz." And some definitions seem needlessly wordy, such as the entry for furious, which is "full of or characterized by extreme anger; raging." Compare that with the more succinct Oxford Encyclopedic entry: "1. extremely angry. 2. full of fury."
On the other hand, there are valuable entries throughout the dictionary supplying additional information on synonyms, usage, or word history, and these extras, such as the history of diatribe and the usage notes on discomfit, are interesting. The layout is easy on the eyes, with dark blue/green bold type setting the words apart from their definitions, and 4,000 color photographs, maps, and illustrations that are both useful and delightful. On one page, the margin provides color depictions of Francis Bacon, bacterium, and a Bactrian camel. Theodore Roosevelt and a rooster share another margin, while a third page offers Isak Dinesen, a dingo, and dinoflagellate. It is a fascinating book to peruse, and a compellingly scholarly addition to the American Heritage Dictionary line. --Stephanie Gold --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Ever since the furor in the U.S. that greeted Webster's Third New International Dictionary (1961) faded, it has become a given that dictionaries should be descriptive rather than prescriptive, a principle sanctified in Britain in the 1850s in Herbert Coleridge's original plan for the monumental project that eventually produced the Oxford English Dictionary. That dictionaries grow by gradual accretion of new words and new senses characterizes the latest edition of the American Heritage Dictionary (AHD), even if it, more than any other contemporary English-language dictionary, flirts with prescriptiveness in some of its usage notes.Reflecting trends in society since publication of the third edition (1992), the most visible additions to the lexicon come from technology. Hence AHD now includes the sense of dot as a synonym for period in computer jargon; a new techie sense for geek; and new entries for dot-com, e-commerce, HTML, HTTP, and URL. These are but a few of the 10,000 new senses or terms incorporated into this edition. Others (e.g., goth, personal watercraft, transgendered) come from the fields of pop culture, entertainment, sports, and business, to name a few.AHD shows two other, much more visible signs of its times. First, the thumbnail marginal illustrations have been transformed from black-and-white to color. This increases their clarity, their utility, and the value they add to definitions. Second, it comes in both print and CD-ROM formats.The CD-ROM (for Windows 95 through 2000 and NT and available for $24.95 if purchased alone) offers content almost identical to that of the print volume and many added features. Some of the illustrations in the print edition are absent from the CD (e.g., mackinaw). This is a small sacrifice for the far greater gains, one of which relates to illustrations. A search feature allows users to display only those terms that contain illustrations, and when any of these is displayed, its thumbnail illustration can be enlarged, offering even greater clarity than the color thumbnails on paper.Other features of the CD-ROM make it an attractive alternative to print, especially for personal use in situations in which it can reside more or less permanently on a PC's CD-ROM drive. A running list of entries in a frame to the left of the display window provides, with much greater precision than the printed dictionary's thumb indexing, quick access to a letter's section. In addition to the word search and A-Z scrolling display of all entries in that left-side window, the window's contents can be limited to display usage notes (usage, synonym, word histories, regional notes), Indo-European roots, Semitic roots, or (as noted) entries containing images. Most entries on the CD-ROM also include an audio icon that, when clicked, plays the word's pronunciation in an audible voice (for some words that of a male, for others that of a female). Just as the Webster's Tenth Collegiate Dictionary allows a toolbar link from Microsoft Word to the dictionary's contents, AHD provides this linkage through a right-mouse click.One other feature demonstrates the dictionary's sense of its times in the age of Internet filters and Dr. Laura controversies: when loading the CD-ROM, the user is asked whether to load the dictionary to include or exclude access to "vulgar" words. This is a latter-day sign of AHD's long willingness to apply usage labels more freely than most of its competitors. Taken by themselves, its usage labels (e.g., "slang," "vulgar") unquestionably appear to be prescriptive. However, when viewed in the context of the dictionary's usage notes, they soften and take on nuance. The usage notes depend heavily upon a large panel of writers and commentators representing diverse views. (What other group can claim both Harold Bloom and Roy Blount Jr and both Antonin Scalia and David Sedaris as members?) The notes convey the panel's uncertainties, disagreements, and qualifiers about how the words are and ought to be used. On the whole, AHD takes an old, inherently prescriptive dictionary device and uses it to describe the majority and minority opinions of a group of facile users of the language. A new category of notes, "Our Living Language," explains how language changes, for example, the reasons why the Ocracoke Island brogue is fading and the attempts to come up with euphemisms for the euphemism downsize. Approximately 1,800 notes of various sorts provide more context and more description than mere labels.When it comes to the things that users turn to a dictionary for most often--definitions, confirmation of spelling, pronunciation--AHD delivers as well as any other respected, respectable desk dictionary. Its definitions are clear and succinct, and they differentiate among senses of a word. Illustrations of words in sentences enhance selected definitions. A pronunciation key on every two-page spread of the print version is the next best thing to the audio on the CD-ROM.AHD long ago established itself as one of the standard American English dictionaries. Its improvements through expansion, refinement, and extension to the CD-ROM medium ensure its vitality and its value to a broad audience, from junior high on. RBB

《山海经》，这本上古奇书，究竟是实录山川的博物志，还是凭空杜撰的妖怪谱？书中那些奇禽异兽，是栖息于远古山川中的实有之物，还是浮游于古人梦魇中的精魅幻影？……诸如此类的问题，两千多年来众说纷纭。
要穿行于天荒地远、山灵水怪的《山海经》世界而不迷失，要穿越训诂注疏、异说怪谭的文字密林回到《山海经》本身，读者需要一幅指点迷津的路线图。《失落的天书》便是为这本难解之书特别绘制的一幅“思想地图”。
“山川之精，上为列星”，这幅地图引导读者将视线从人烟交织的大地山川，移向星转斗移、万象森罗的苍穹之上。“天垂象，圣人则之”，芸芸众生的命运、世间生活的节律皆离不开星空的昭示和指引，《山海经》所呈现的就是这样一幅天地相映、人神交通的古老“天书”。

《畴人传》是我国第一部有关历代天文学家、数学家及其学术贡献的传记体专著。《畴人传合编校注》序言中说明其宗旨是为了“综算氏之大名，纪步天之正轨”，即以人物为纲纪，内容涵盖历代天文、数学家的学术活动、数学成果和数学思想，因此也可视为我国最早的数学史与天文学史的通史性著作。《畴人传》由干嘉名儒阮元（1764-1849）主持编撰，而实际承担具体撰述工作的是数学家李锐（1769-1817），阮元门生周治平也受命参加了校录工作。

《城市语言生活与语言变异研究》讲述了语言存生于语言生活中，离开语言生活，语言便只能成为没有生命的“标本”。故而语言学不仅要研究语言，更要研究语言生活。研究语言生活，可以更为全面地认识语言，观察语言与社会的宏观与微观的各种联系，从一个角度解释语言的发展演变规律。研究语言生活，有助于妥善处理语言带来的各种社会问题，有助于语言资源的保护和开发，有助于社团与公民的语言权利的维护，从而保证语言的社会功能得到更好发挥，促进语言生活和谐。
语言生活是社会生活的重要内容。社会生活是分领域的，语言生活的研究也须分领域，从而形成领域语言学。领域语言学绝非语言学家自己就能建得起来的，而是需要不同领域的专家与语言学家共同努力。领域语言学起码应当研究三个方面的问题：其一，某领域的语言文字使用状况；其二，某领域的语言问题及需要制定的语言政策；其三，某领域从业人员应具有的语言文字素质，并通过培训及能力达标测试等措施，保证这些素质的实现，提高从业人员的工作质量。比如当前已经开展十余年之久的普通话水平测试工作，就应当认真考虑各行业的特点，研发带有行业特色的普通话培训教材。

《数学与数学人》是一套国际化的科学普及丛书，我们将邀请当代一流的中外科学家谈他们的数学人生——研究经历和成功经验。活跃在研究前沿的数学家们将会用轻松的文笔，通俗地介绍数学各领域激动人心的最新进展、某些数学专题精彩曲折的发展历史以及数学在现代科学技术中的广泛应用。
