“浪漫”与“地理学”看似是一对矛盾的词。地理学脚踏实地，充满常识，亦是生存所必需。在过去，每个人都要懂得去哪里寻找食物、水源和栖息地；而如今，所有人都必须细心经营地球家园，使之更宜安居。当今的地理学著作缺乏戏剧性，地图、数据、描述和分析比 比皆是，却没有豪侠之举，没有孜孜以求的精神。然而，在不远的历史中，地理学的确曾有魔力，并被认为是浪漫的。那是一个英勇探索的时代。探险家深入海洋、山岳、森林、洞穴、沙漠和极地冰原，检验着自己身体和精神的忍耐力……作者指出，若是将精神视为人类存在的核心，或许人类需要将整个宇宙当作游乐场：超越中庸之道，信奉诸如光与暗、高与低、头脑与肌肉等两极化价值，皈依一些并不满足生存需要，却迎合热烈的浪漫渴望的地理环境。全书以灵动的笔调，从哲学、心理学、人类学的角度讲述人性与大地的互动，发掘地理学的诗性潜力。
过分注重细节的地理学需要与浪漫且先验性的洞察力为伴——无论是像威廉•华兹华斯所说的“仿若那寄寓于落日灿烂余晖之中的、渗入万物魂灵的虚无缥缈”，还是如爱因斯坦说的“宇宙的音乐”。

250年来，德国人开垦沼泽，排干酸沼，将莱茵河裁弯取直，建设威廉港，在河流高峡修筑大坝，以人的力量显著改变了自然的面貌。他们为什么要这样做？他们为什么能够这样做？“征服自然”带来了怎样的后果？
现代景观形成的历史，也是现代国家形成的历史。在一切环境改造的背后都蕴藏着深厚的政治、文化、经济因素，本书以德国为例，将这些因素与生态因素结合在一起加以考察，同时对人类千方百计“征服”自然所付出的巨大代价进行了反思。

Throughout Chinese history mountains have been integral components of the religious landscape. They have been considered divine or numinous sites, the abodes of deities, the preferred locations for temples and monasteries, and destinations for pilgrims. Early in Chinese history a set of five mountains were co-opted into the imperial cult and declared sacred peaks, yue, demarcating and protecting the boundaries of the Chinese imperium.
The Southern Sacred Peak, or Nanyue, is of interest to scholars not the least because the title has been awarded to several different mountains over the years. The dynamic nature of Nanyue raises a significant theoretical issue of the mobility of sacred space and the nature of the struggles involved in such moves. Another facet of Nanyue is the multiple meanings assigned to this place: political, religious, and cultural. Of particular interest is the negotiation of this space by Daoists and Buddhists. The history of their interaction leads to questions about the nature of the divisions between these two religious traditions. James Robson’s analysis of these topics demonstrates the value of local studies and the emerging field of Buddho-Daoist studies in research on Chinese religion.

Feng Shui is a practical reality that is rooted in Chinese life, merging the spiritual potential of human existence in life and death. The art of Feng Shui is not confined to houses but is also connected with landscape art. This fact becomes especially evident in traditional temple architecture and locations of Buddhist caves and statues that dot the scenery in Sichuan province and other locations.
The volume, edited by Florian C. Reiter, presents the results of a symposium held in 2012, that assembled specialists to discuss theoretical and practical aspects of Feng Shui. Some analysis in the present volume shows the inseparable connection between the ancestors, the graveyards, and the housing for the ancestry at the home altars in residential quarters. It appears that the element of a religious connotation in building practice is a condition that characterizes genuine Feng Shui and must be considered by customers and architects. Some contributions show that comparable elements exist in European building practice, which seems to prove the impact of common notions about human habitation without being due to any intercultural stimulation.

本书介绍了祁连山区常见维管植物80科296属569种（包括8亚种、14变种、1变型），约占祁连山区维管植物种类的44%。植物种类的选择上除了考虑常见之外，还选择了一些具有本区特色的植物。在中国植物区系中，祁连山植物区系属于泛北极植物区、青藏高原植物亚区唐古特地区，是该地区区系向东北延伸的部分，与甘肃中部、西南部的兴隆山、马啣山、莲花山、太子山和甘南高原以及青海省东部和北部的植物区系组成具有很大的相似性，因此本手册收录的植物对于这些地区的常见植物识别具有重要的参考价值。
祁连山地理位置特殊，是中国第一、二级阶梯、内蒙古高原和青藏高原、内流区和外流区、草原景观和荒漠景观、青藏高寒气候区和西北干旱半干旱区的分界线。祁连山孕育了河西走廊石羊河、黑河和疏勒河三大水系及其多条内陆河流，是河西走廊的生命线。
祁连山东段植物种类较多，西段分布的乔木和灌木较少。另外，受山地气候垂直变化的影响，植被类型也出现相应的垂直变化，自下而上依次呈现出草原化荒漠植被、山地草原、山地森林草原、高山灌丛草甸和高山垫状植被。
本书所记载的每种植物均配有花果期（蕨类植物为孢子期）的图例，植物图片均为作者在祁连山及周边地区拍摄，在一些植物介绍时附有1～2种形态相似的物种。这里的“相似”指的是花、果、叶等形态学上的相似，并非亲缘关系上的相近。
希望本书能为您在祁连山及其邻近地区旅行带来更多的快乐，让您通过此书认识更多的植物，更希望您能提出您的宝贵意见和建议，以便我们及时改正。

在欧洲，城市广场是一种古老的文化；在中国，城市广场是城市建设中广受关注的问题。
本书以对国外(从古希腊至现代)的40个典型城市广场的观察、分析为线索，阐明城市广场发生、发展的社会动力，力图从社会学和建筑学的双重视角建构城市广场的整体轮廓，认为城市广场的综合品质应是空间品质和社会品质的有机统一，并尝试将其进行量化研究，提出一种城市广场品质的客观评价体系。
按照这个体系，对我国典型城市广场(从近代至今14个城市的18个城市广场)的建设历史与现状进行梳理，分析中国传统城市的空间特征及其社会动力，指出传统的中国城市缺少城市广场这一空间元素，中国城市广场的出现来自于西方城市文化的影响，而当今中国的城市广场大多只是一种展示性元素，缺少与城市及市民生活的关联。
书中史料剖析部分图文资料详实，脉络清晰；对广场品质的分析、评价客观明晰，尤其是细分出各影响因素，颇具可操作性，适于在设计中应用。
本书可供建筑设计、城市设计、城市规划、城市管理以及相关领域的研习、实践者阅读参考。

In 1994, workers broke ground on China’s Three Gorges Dam. By its completion in 2012, the dam had transformed the ecology of the Yangzi River, displaced over a million people, and forever altered a landscape immortalized in centuries of literature and art. The controversial history of the dam is well known; what this book uncovers are its unexpected connections to the cultural traditions it seems to sever. By reconsidering the dam in relation to the aesthetic history of the Three Gorges region over more than two millennia, Fixing Landscape offers radically new ways of thinking about cultural and spatial production in contemporary China.
Corey Byrnes argues that this monumental feat of engineering can only be understood by confronting its status as a techno-poetic act, a form of landscaping indebted to both the technical knowledge of engineers and to the poetic legacies of the Gorges as cultural site. Synthesizing methods drawn from premodern, modern, and contemporary Chinese studies, as well as from critical geography, art history, and the environmental humanities, Byrnes offers innovative readings of eighth-century poetry, paintings from the twelfth through twenty-first centuries, contemporary film, nineteenth-century British travelogues, and Chinese and Western maps, among other sources. Fixing Landscape shows that premodern poetry and visual art have something urgent to tell us about a contemporary experiment in spatial production. Poems and paintings may not build dams, but Byrnes argues that the Three Gorges Dam would not exist as we know it without them.

In Reshaping the Frontier Landscape: Dongchuan in Eighteenth-century Southwest China, Fei HUANG examines the process of reshaping the landscape of Dongchuan, a remote frontier city in Southwest China in the eighteenth century. Rich copper deposits transformed Dongchuan into one of the key outposts of the Qing dynasty, a nexus of encounters between various groups competing for power and space. The frontier landscape bears silent witness to the changes in its people’s daily lives and in their memories and imaginations. The literati, officials, itinerant merchants, commoners and the indigenous people who lived there shaped and reshaped the local landscape by their physical efforts and cultural representations. This book demonstrates how multiple landscape experiences developed among various people in dependencies, conflicts and negotiations in the imperial frontier.

"The Last Launch is a treasure trove of personal visions of wisdom and faith that demonstrate the connections we all have with one another. Tuan's concluding section of 'favorites' alone holds abundant gems from a master scholar who now shares, for the last time in an illustrious career, a lifetime of erudition and teaching. Tuan's work welcomes readers to gather their own religious and ethical/philosophical foundations that can serve as building-blocks for their own faith and direction, especially in relation to the communities and larger world in which they live, learn, and grow. By entering Tuan's stories, young readers, especially, are challenged to become more aware of who they are and who they want to become."
" For more than fifty years and twenty-two books later, Yi-Fu Tuan has been a leading voice in helping us make sense of the world and our place in it. The Last Launch demonstrates that Tuan's insights remain as relevant as ever. Written with the verve and global embrace of personal experience that readers have come to expect from this intellectual maverick, each chapter is a gift and, indeed, like a message in the bottle: pages clipped from the mind of geography's most creative thinker, carefully encased in elegant prose, and then cast away in search of people who are curious and interested in seeing and knowing the world in a detailed, subtle, and wondrous light."

China’s dismantling of the Mao-era rural commune system and return to individual household farming under Deng Xiaoping has been seen as a successful turn away from a misguided social experiment and a rejection of the disastrous policies that produced widespread famine. In this revisionist study, Joshua Eisenman marshals previously inaccessible data to overturn this narrative, showing that the commune modernized agriculture, increased productivity, and spurred an agricultural green revolution that laid the foundation for China’s future rapid growth.
Red China’s Green Revolution tells the story of the commune’s origins, evolution, and downfall, demonstrating its role in China’s economic ascendance. After 1970, the commune emerged as a hybrid institution, including both collective and private elements, with a high degree of local control over economic decision but almost no say over political ones. It had an integrated agricultural research and extension system that promoted agricultural modernization and collectively owned local enterprises and small factories that spread rural industrialization. The commune transmitted Mao’s collectivist ideology and enforced collective isolation so it could overwork and underpay its households. Eisenman argues that the commune was eliminated not because it was unproductive, but because it was politically undesirable: it was the post-Mao leadership led by Deng Xiaoping—not rural residents—who chose to abandon the commune in order to consolidate their control over China. Based on detailed and systematic national, provincial, and county-level data, as well as interviews with agricultural experts and former commune members, Red China’s Green Revolution is a comprehensive historical and social scientific analysis that fundamentally challenges our understanding of recent Chinese economic history.

Roderick Nash's classic study of America's changing attitudes toward wilderness has received wide acclaim since its initial publication in 1967. The Los Angeles Times has listed it among the one hundred most influential books published in the last quarter century, Outside Magazine has included it in a survey of "books that changed our world", and it has been called the "Book of Genesis for environmentalists". Now a fourth edition of this highly regarded work is available, with a new preface and epilogue in which Nash explores the future of wilderness and reflects on its ethical and biocentric relevance.

Alongside the scores of travel books about China written by foreign visitors, Chinese travelers' impressions of their own country rarely appear in translation. This anthology is the only comprehensive collection in English of Chinese travel writing from the first century A.D. through the nineteenth. Early examples of the genre describe sites important for their geography, history, and role in cultural mythology, but by the T'ang dynasty in the mid-eighth century certain historiographical and poetic discourses converged to form the "travel account" (yu-chi) and later the "travel diary" (jih-chi) as vehicles of personal expression and autobiography. These first-person narratives provide rich material for understanding the attitudes of Chinese literati toward place, nature, politics, and the self.
The anthology is abundantly illustrated with paintings, portraits, maps, and drawings. Each selection is meticulously translated, carefully annotated, and prefaced by a brief description of the writer's life and work. The entire collection is introduced by an in-depth survey of the rise of Chinese travel writing as a cultural phenomenon. Inscribed Landscapes provides a unique resource for travelers as well as for scholars of Chinese literature, art, and history.

Majestic and lyrically written, The Conquest of Nature traces the rise of Germany through the development of water and landscape. David Blackbourn begins his morality tale in the mid-1700s, with the epic story of Frederick the Great, who attempted by importing the great scientific minds of the West and by harnessing the power of his army to transform the uninhabitable marshlands of his scattered kingdom into a modern state. Chronicling the great engineering projects that reshaped the mighty Rhine, the emergence of an ambitious German navy, and the development of hydroelectric power to fuel Germany's convulsive industrial growth before World War I, Blackbourn goes on to show how Nazi racial policies rested on German ideas of mastery of the natural world. Filled with striking reproductions of paintings, maps, and photographs, this grand work of modern history links culture, politics, and the environment in an exploration of the perils faced by nations that attempt to conquer nature.
