This volume analyses the evolution of a unique brand of politics in Hong Kong. It examines how a Crown Colony system responded to the demands made of it by its Chinese and British residents in the shadow of the often volatile politics of modern China. It covers a wide range of subjects, from constitutional changes to the development of an independent civil service, to the rise and fall of systematic bureaucratic corruption, to the emergence of a distinct political culture, and to the importance of China in Hong Kong politics. It also explains the basis of polotical stability in Hong Kong – how British imperial rule turned out to meet public expectations in the Chinese political tradition.

Marking a major development in Foucault's thinking, this book takes as its starting point the notion of "biopower," studying the foundations of this new technology of power over populations. Distrinct from punitive disciplinary systems, the mechanisms of power are here finely entwined with the technologies of security. In this volume, though, Foucault begins to turn his attention to the history of "governmentality," from the first centuries of the Christian era to the emergence of the modern nation state--shifting the center of gravity of the lectures from the question of biopower to that of government. In light of Foucault's later work, these lectures illustrate a radical turning point at which the transition to the problematic of the "government of self and others" would begin.

《北京高等教育精品教材:数学分析讲义(第1册)》是作者在清华大学数学科学系（1987-2003）及北京大学数学科学学院（2003-2009）给本科生讲授数学分析课的讲稿的基础上编成的，一方面，作者力求以近代数学（集合论，拓扑，测度论，微分流形和微分形式）的语言来介绍数学分析的基本知识，以使同学尽早熟悉近代数学文献中的表述方式。另一方面在篇幅允许的范围内，作者尽可能地介绍数学分析与其他学科（特别是物理学）的联系，以使同学理解自然现象一直是数学发展的重要源泉。

A standard source of information of functions of one complex variable, this text has retained its wide popularity in this field by being consistently rigorous without becoming needlessly concerned with advanced or overspecialized material. Difficult points have been clarified, the book has been reviewed for accuracy, and notations and terminology have been modernized. Chapter 2, Complex Functions, features a brief section on the change of length and area under conformal mapping, and much of Chapter 8, Global-Analytic Functions, has been rewritten in order to introduce readers to the terminology of germs and sheaves while still emphasizing that classical concepts are the backbone of the theory. Chapter 4, Complex Integration, now includes a new and simpler proof of the general form of Cauchy's theorem. There is a short section on the Riemann zeta function, showing the use of residues in a more exciting situation than in the computation of definite integrals.
