《蒙太奇论》选译自苏联六卷本《爱森斯坦文集》。爱森斯坦作为苏联蒙太奇学派的代表人物之一，创作《战舰波将金号》、《十月》等堪称经典的电影杰作。作为电影理论大师，爱森斯坦力求探索艺术作品对观众产生最有效影响的途径，创建了电影蒙太奇理论，在爱森斯坦看来，蒙太奇的意义不仅仅归结为选择，有节奏的组织和联想，也不仅仅归结为情节元素的衔接。爱森斯坦的蒙太奇理论主张两个镜头的并列以及它们的内在冲突会产生第三因素对所叙述事物的评价和观点。

在过去的几十年中，记忆问题受到越来越多历史学家和哲学家的关注。在《记忆，历史，遗忘》一书中，法国哲学家保罗·利科在细致研读亚里士多德、柏拉图、笛卡尔、康德、哈布瓦赫与诺拉等诸多思想家的基础上，考察了记忆、历史与遗忘三个主题之间的关系。第一部分以现象学方法来处理历史与记忆之术的关系。第二部分通过重新讨论历史知识的本质及其真理问题来评述史学家最近撰述的著作。第三部分探讨的是在历史条件下，把遗忘作为记忆的一种情形的必要性，以及思考是否可能存在着与快乐记忆相平行的快乐遗忘。

关于美国科学界的现状大家众说纷纭，既有人担忧美国科学即将衰弱，也有人观察到不少美国受过良好训练的科学家却没有好的学术职业前景。谢宇和齐沃德就这一话题提出了众多的实证证据，他们清晰而又准确的分析——有时，还是出人意料的发现，有力地揭示了美国科学事业的长处和短板。

盛世之下的中国急需知晓世界事务，世界事务的要害不在于繁琐的国际事务，而在于理解世界本身。这不仅包括认识现代世界形成的历史，也包括认识西方理解世界历史的历史。现代世界并非一朝而成，西方对世界历史的理解也经历了较长岁月的演变，其中起到举足轻重的作用的核心观念是：“普遍历史”“世界史”“历史主义”。这些概念及其之间的关联，远非三言两语所能穷尽。我们的史学理论界已经翻译积累了一些基本文献和研究文献，但还远远不够。本书针对我国学界认识上的一些薄弱环节，选译一些具有代表性但尚无中译的重要原典作家（博丹、波舒哀、杜尔哥、赫尔德、席勒、兰克），同时注重相关研究文献。这些不同时代的代表人物及其作品，展现出现代世界生成的内在机理，从而将有助于回答我们所面临的如下迫切的理论问题：当中国在世界政治格局中的战略地位不断上升之际，我们应如何从中国文明自身的立场和角度理解世界历史？

本书是海德格尔的一部重要著作。作者通过对荷尔德林诗歌的阐释表述了自己的哲学思想。本书初版于1944年，而后多次再版，到1971年第四版时加以扩充、补收了正文中的第五与第六两篇文章。本书现已被列为《海德格尔全集》第四卷，附录有相关的三篇文章。中译本据全集版翻译。

《偶然反讽与团结》是美国著名实用主义哲学家罗蒂的代表作之一，从传统哲学企图结合公共领域与私人领域的问题性出发，指出西方传统上一直想要利用超历史的普遍人性的观念，将公共的正义和私人的完美统合起来。

这不是一本“撩汉把妹”指南，比起铺天盖地的“女人不狠地位不稳”、“嫁给什么样的男人才幸福”之类的秘笈，来自台湾的孙中兴教授简直老实得乏善可陈。说来说去，他的核心思想只有八个字：“平等对待，共同奋斗”。说起来，这不过是常识吧。然而，惟其是常识，才显出可贵之处。因为这份常识，已被我们遗忘太久。
这是个浮躁的时代：年轻人为高企的房价而焦虑不堪，有人甚至戏谑地说，这是个“一房一妻”的时代。似乎有了房子、车子，就有了爱情。相亲节目中，女嘉宾公然喊出“宁在宝马上哭，不在自行车上笑”的口号。
这又是个迷惘的时代：剩女、出柜、约炮……种种过去未曾出现或未曾公开出现的社会现象，因为更多的自由浮现于社会的浅表。过去只有婚姻才能提供的资源，譬如经济的保障、性需求的满足、生育的要求等，在今天都不是必须在婚姻中才能获得的了。那么，两性关系将走向何方？婚姻制度还会存在吗？
《爱情社会学》这本书，或许是这个喧嚣时代的一方小小的清凉剂：在这个无数人怀疑爱情，甚至对之嗤之以鼻的时代，孙老师操着软糯的台湾腔，慢悠悠地带领我们“谈情说爱”。
这本书，可以称得上是二十年磨一剑。孙中兴老师自1996年起，在台湾大学开设“爱情社会学”课程，迄今已经二十年。期间，孙中兴老师不断打磨、扩充课程，面对新的社会现象，融入更新的理论。*终形成了这门以坚实的理论为基础，以生动的例子为指导，直击社会现实的有趣课程。我们这本书，正是脱胎于“爱情社会学”课程。
这本书的妙处在于：深者不觉其浅，浅者不觉其深。书中的内容，既可以扩展至无穷大，又可以浓缩至无穷小。大到囊括了全世界各地的爱情理论，旁征博引，给这本书*坚实的理论支撑；小到可以应对“爱情变得平淡时应当怎么办”这样的常见困惑。
这是一本温和的书：孙中兴教授在书中*常告诉大家的，就是没关系。有人问，失恋了怎样能够不难过？孙教授告诉我们，没关系啊，失恋了就是会难过。因为你的自我在恋爱中得到扩充，失恋就又把那扩充的部分摘除了，自然会痛苦。然而重要的是接纳自己的脆弱、痛苦。
这是一本犀利的书：身为男性的孙教授，却发出了女权主义的宣言：为什么家务就应该女性来做？如果女性不做家务就不算女人，那么，男性不赚钱是否就不算男人了？为什么两性的角色是固定不变的？
这是一本打破常规思维的书：针对“我会永远爱你”的誓言，孙老师告诉我们，严格说来，所有的情感都是有期限的，都会结束，即使不结束于分手、离婚、外遇，也会结束于死亡。所以，在*情投意合的时候，不妨开始建立分手的剧本。如果有一天我们分手了，我们要怎样的分手？如果有一方因意外死亡了，该怎么处理身后事？孙教授告诉我们，不仅要认真开启爱情、维系爱情，更要学会有尊严地结束爱情。这关系到成为一个更好、更完善的人。
孙中兴教授所心心念念的，正是每个人的成长为更好的独立自我。用他的话说：过去人的爱情理想是：“把一块泥，捻一个你，塑一个我。将咱两个一起打破，用水调和，再捻一个你，再塑一个我。我泥中有你，你泥中有我。“这种爱情观，是传统社会中女性没有社会地位、没有经济地位，必须依赖男人来活，所以渴望你中有我，我中有你；然而今天，每个人都是独立的个体，应当倡导的是一种钻石爱情观。每个人都是一颗独立的钻石，每颗钻石有不同的切面，要做到的不是任何一方完全的妥协，而是找到*切面的贴合，让两个独立的个体交相辉映。
这本书所倡导的，归根结底依然是这个常识，真正的爱情，就是这八字箴言：平等对待，共同奋斗。

This major reference is an overview of the current state of theoretical ecology through a series of topical entries centered on both ecological and statistical themes. Coverage ranges across scales—from the physiological, to populations, landscapes, and ecosystems. Entries provide an introduction to broad fields such as Applied Ecology, Behavioral Ecology, Computational Ecology, Ecosystem Ecology, Epidemiology and Epidemic Modeling, Population Ecology, Spatial Ecology and Statistics in Ecology. Others provide greater specificity and depth, including discussions on the Allee effect, ordinary differential equations, and ecosystem services. Descriptions of modern statistical and modeling approaches and how they contributed to advances in theoretical ecology are also included. Succinct, uncompromising, and authoritative—a “must have” for those interested in the use of theory in the ecological sciences.

本书的相当大部分致力于对科学理论和模型的表述，从而为进行哲学分析提供素材。由于多体系统的复杂性，诸学科基本上依赖于理想化和近似，各学科部分成了许多强调系统不同假面的模型。我将尽力展开模型。背扣的假设和预设，便于读者评价它们那些通常是有文化影响的声称。除了对一般概念进行澄清，我希望本书可以激起不同领域科学家之间的相互对话，不仅关于他们正在研究什么，还关于他们正在如何进行。因此，我努力使本书的内容易于一般读者理解，把诸学科的概念结构（conceptual struc-tures）尽可能解释清楚，尽量少引用行话，并在每一专业术语第一次出现时予以解释。由于本书的覆盖面很广，我将力求简明，使主要思想凸现出来，而不拘泥于细节。
科学主义过分炫耀科学且背离科学精神，这激起了让许多科学家吃惊的对科学的敌意。祸起萧墙。我们不要仅仅抱怨公众不愿意支持科学研究，或许我们应当检查自己，看看是不是我们做得太过分了，而成了科学主义。

In the discussion of architecture, there is a prevailing sentiment that, since 1968, cultural production in its traditional sense can no longer be understood to rise spontaneously, as a matter of social course, but must now be constructed through ever more self-conscious theoretical procedures. The development of interpretive modes of various stripes--post-structuralist, Marxian, phenomenological, psychoanalytic, as well as others dissenting or eccentric--has given scholars a range of tools for rethinking architecture in relation to other fields and for reasserting architectures general importance in intellectual discourse.This anthology presents forty-seven of the primary texts of architecture theory, introducing each with an explication of the concepts and categories necessary for its understanding and evaluation. It also presents twelve documents of projects or events that had major theoretical repercussions for the period. Several of the essays appear here in English for the first time.Contributors : Diana Agrest, Stanford Anderson, Archizoom, George Baird, Jennifer Bloomer, Massimo Cacciari, Jean-Louis Cohen, Beatriz Colomina, Alan Colquhoun, Maurice Culot, Jacques Derrida, Ignasi de Sola-Morales, Peter Eisenman, Robin Evans, Michel Foucault, Kenneth Frampton, Mario Gandelsonas, Frank Gehry, Jurgen Habermas, John Hejduk, Denis Hollier, Bernard Huet, Catherine Ingraham, Fredric Jameson, Charles A.

拉普拉斯脍炙人口的天文学著作《宇宙体系论》，不像《天体力学》那样理论深奥难懂，它尽弃一切数学公式，深入浅出，通俗流畅，为时人所推崇。《宇宙体系论》提倡有名的太阳系生成的星云假说，这个假说1755年康德（Immanuel Kant 1724-1804 德国哲学家）已经述及，所以后世通常叫做“康德-拉普拉斯星云假说”。
本书为“世纪文库”丛书之一。本书作者是18世纪法国著名数学家的天文学家。在本书中，作者提出了太阳系起源的星云学说，论述了天体运动的规律，并从数学上作了证明。本书是天文学史上的一本重要著作，对19世纪以后的科学发展产生了重大的影响。

本书从音乐史及其文化背景中探讨音乐符号，从肖邦、贝多芬到西贝柳斯，从尼采到格雷马斯、罗兰•巴尔特，符号学的视角让熟悉的音乐呈现出别样的意义，包括生物的、性别的、超越的等多种层面，如万花筒一般新奇。作者以丰富例证展示了这个相当前沿的学科的独特魅力，梳理出一套具有说服力的音乐“元语言”，旨在为音乐符号学提供一本实用指南。

In 1980, William H. Whyte published the findings from his revolutionary Street Life Project in The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces. Both the book and the accompanying film were instantly labeled classics, and launched a mini-revolution in the planning and study of public spaces. They have since become standard texts, and appear on syllabi and reading lists in urban planning, sociology, environmental design, and architecture departments around the world.
Project for Public Spaces, which grew out of Holly’s Street Life Project and continues his work around the world, has acquired the reprint rights to Social Life, with the intent of making it available to the widest possible audience and ensuring that the Whyte family receive their fair share of Holly’s legacy.
Summary: This book is great
Rating: 5
I read this book for school... but I would recommend it to anyone interested in the subject matter. (Reading it, I was always wandering around talking to friends and family about it). The book is short, but there is a lot to think about. :)
Summary: How urban areas work
Rating: 5
Years ago I watched an episode of NOVA on PBS on William H. Whyte that explained the background and purpose and accomplishments of his project to study what makes urban spaces in cities work. I sat there riveted, as he methodically and carefully unveiled a vast range of urban phenomena of which I had hitherto been unaware.
The background to his study was this: following the enormous success of the plaza of Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building in New York in the mid-1950s, the city began to give tax breaks to new buildings that included plazas as part of their design. At the Seagram, people found in the heart of the city a marvelous space in which to congregate, to eat lunch, to sit and talk, and just enjoy a few minutes away from the office. While the idea of providing an incentive to new plaza development was unquestionably a great aim, a small problem developed: many of the new plazas were, unlike that of the Seagram, just dreadful. Cold, austere, people unfriendly, unwelcoming, many of them seemed designed more to keep people away than give them a place to enjoy themselves. This is where Whyte comes in. New York City was concerned with codifying what made a successful plaza, and giving tax breaks based more on the kind of plaza being built, rather than any kind of plaza at all. So, Whyte was charged with discovering precisely what goes into a successful urban space. The results of his exhaustive study are summed up in this brilliant monograph.
Whyte took cameras and began filming all kinds of urban spots in plazas and parks, and on regular sidewalks. As a result of this study, he was able first to analyze how urban spaces work, and secondly on the basis of this make, to make suggestions as to how to make successful spaces. He discusses the enormous value and utility of using fountains or falling water both to provide aesthetic benefits and to create a barrier of white noise between an urban space and the street. He shows the value of having a variety of steps and levels in providing fun places to sit. He allays the fears of those who are afraid that a plaza will attract undesirables by showing that the homeless tend to go where other people are not. He displays the patterns of traffic on sidewalks and the function that street food can play. Whyte comes across not merely as a sophisticated urban planner and social scientist: he is revealed as a visionary.
I think that this ought to be a must-read for anyone with any curiosity about cities and the potential they possess for a vibrant and exciting social life. Here in my own city of Chicago, I constantly lament that Whyte's lessons go unheeded and unlearned. We Chicagoans take pride in how clean our downtown area is, but we possess very, very few plazas, instead having virtually all of our buildings coming all the way to the edge of the sidewalk. I lament that there are so few places in the Loop and the near North to sit at lunch, that so very, very little has been done along the river to make it people friendly, and that there are so few places to congregate. We have a gorgeous, inpirational skyline, but on the sidewalk level, things are different. I wish our city planners had more of Whyte's view of things.
Summary: A classic case study for urban design professionals
Rating: 5
Although the photographs are dated, the material is classic. This book is a must for anyone who is involved with design or review of open spaces. It shows how people use open space and identifies the common elements of successful spaces. While the elements all seem logical, the book shows how we often fly in the face of logic when using these spaces. The book focuses primarily on plazas and small parks in New York City, but includes a section for smaller cities with low rise buildings. The information can also be applied to parks in any size town. This book is a facinating case study in social ecology.
