Taking two early Tibetan texts as his starting point, Jacob Dalton explores the ways in which violence has been integral to the development of Tibetan Buddhism. Paying particular attention to the so-called age of fragmentation, Tibet's dark age that spanned from 842 to 986 C.E., he draws on previously unstudied manuscripts discovered in the famous "library cave" near Dunhuang, on the old Silk Road. These demonstrate how this supposedly inactive period in Tibetan history was in fact crucial to the Tibetan assimilation of Buddhism, and particularly to the spread of the violent themes of tantric Buddhism, at both the local and popular levels. From the late tenth century onward, this period and its mythic and ritual themes of violence, demon taming, and blood sacrifice came to play important symbolic roles in Tibetan history and politics. Despite its reputation as a tradition utterly opposed to violence, Tibetan Buddhism has long been haunted by violent rituals and imaginative associations. The resulting history challenges our own tendencies to romanticize or demonize the rich and ancient culture of Tibet.

本書收錄明史論文十篇，內容及性質主要關涉人物及史料，故名《明代人物與史料》，與作者早前出版的《明代人物與傳說》等量齊觀。歷史研究首重證據，本書的論文雖然各自為題，但總歸為幾個特點︰一、以考證史實、鑑辨史料為立論基礎，尋溯歷史真貌，賦予意義；二、重視筆記小說、野史稗聞，擴拓史料，增廣見聞；三、廣博採訪，考覈資料，推翻穿鑿附會、流傳廣泛的說法；四、挑出前人未曾注意的問題，爬梳勘察史料，尋根索源，另闢蹊徑。本書在解決與明史有關問題的同時，提供一種研治中國歷史的方法，值得讀者深思。

How science in medieval Europe originated in Buddhist Asia

Warriors of the Cloisters tells how key cultural innovations from Central Asia revolutionized medieval Europe and gave rise to the culture of science in the West. Medieval scholars rarely performed scientific experiments, but instead contested issues in natural science, philosophy, and theology using the recursive argument method. This highly distinctive and unusual method of disputation was a core feature of medieval science, the predecessor of modern science. We know that the foundations of science were imported to Western Europe from the Islamic world, but until now the origins of such key elements of Islamic culture have been a mystery.

In this provocative book, Christopher I. Beckwith traces how the recursive argument method was first developed by Buddhist scholars and was spread by them throughout ancient Central Asia. He shows how the method was adopted by Islamic Central Asian natural philosophers―most importantly by Avicenna, one of the most brilliant of all medieval thinkers―and transmitted to the West when Avicenna's works were translated into Latin in Spain in the twelfth century by the Jewish philosopher Ibn Da'ud and others. During the same period the institution of the college was also borrowed from the Islamic world. The college was where most of the disputations were held, and became the most important component of medieval Europe's newly formed universities. As Beckwith demonstrates, the Islamic college also originated in Buddhist Central Asia.

Using in-depth analysis of ancient Buddhist, Classical Arabic, and Medieval Latin writings, Warriors of the Cloisters transforms our understanding of the origins of medieval scientific culture.

环境史研究方兴未艾。本书第一次以国家和地区分章分析世界环境史学的兴起原因、发展历程、主要学术观点、存在的问题和未来发展趋势；第一次采用口述史学的方法发掘了世界著名环境史学家对国际环境史学的历史和发展的认识。这两者相得益彰，共同构建出世界环境史学的完整图景。对环境史学的发展而言，本书有助于推动环境史学在新起点上再出发。对重构世界史而言，本书会提供新的思路和坚实的基础资料。对推动和谐社会和和谐世界建设而言，本书能提供一定的历史借鉴和启示。

"Funkenstein's powerful essay belongs to that genre of intellectual history which has addressed itself to... the metaphysical foundations of modern science. As such, it is almost exclusively concerned with affinities and tensions between ideas. And traced they are with consummate skill... Liberation from naive conceptions of historical continuity gives Funkenstein leave to concentrate on a finely nuanced exegesis of those philosophers who fall within his purview. The result is a work of discernment and distinction."--J. H. Brooke, The Times Higher Education Supplement

内容简介在本书中，作者以极具个人风格的方式向广大读者介绍了海德格尔的主要作品，并在导论中讲解了语言与哲学的关系。作者站在整个西方思想发展史的高度，对海德格尔思想产生的根源、时代背景，以及海德格尔哲学所具有的影响，进行了客观的解析，清晰地勾划出了海德格尔重要思想发展的来龙去脉。同时，作者作为一位语言学家，还阐释了海德格尔独特的“词源学”研究。因此，从某种意义上来说，本传记也是一部关于海德格尔语言哲学的研究专著。

《语言学高级教程》（Linguistics:An Advanced Gourse Book）是为我国英语专业研究生，特别是国外语言学与应用语言学专业的研究生编写的语言学教材。这类教材在我国基本上于空白。

在民法体系演变史上，古典私权一般理论扮演至关重要的角色，正因为它的出现，大陆法系民法才在传统的法学阶梯式体系（人法+物法+诉讼法）之外形成五编式的潘得克吞式体系（总则+物权法+债权法+亲属法+继承法）。古典私权一般理论的思想根源在于由普芬道夫与沃尔夫构建的近代德国自然权利义务理论，它为德国法学开启了新的视域，自此，德国学者开始从权利义务的视角思考法律问题。内特布拉德、达耶斯等人把自然权利义务理论及其追求抽象性与体系化的精神移植到民法学中。受普特、胡果所代表的哥廷根学派法学方法论革新运动的影响，18世纪末19世纪初德国民法学者开始从民法学自身的视角探索私权一般问题，形成了包括私权主体、客体、变动原因、救济、性质与分类理论在内的私权一般理论雏形。经过潘得克吞法学派数十年的学术耕耘，尤其在得到萨维尼的法律关系理论充实之后，古典私权一般理论到19世纪晚期发展到巅峰，温德夏的私权一般理论代表了其最高成就。古典私权一般理论是潘得克吞式民法体系的学理基础，它表征了体系化的权利思维：各种权利借助于抽象概念被组织成一个逻辑严密的权利类型体系，同时，权利本身也具有内在逻辑结构（主体、客体、变动原因、救济）。权利的内在结构与权利类型体系分别成为潘得克吞式民法体系总则与分则的逻辑基础。民法体系演变史的经验表明，民法体系植根于民法学理传统，是精神史的产物而非立法者的任意创设。长期以来，我国民法教科书都以潘得克吞式体系为模板安排结构，在这样的民法学理传统基础上构造民法典体系不可能对潘得克吞式体系有太大偏离，当然，应根据当代民法理论发展趋势对其作必要改进。我国民法典应设置总则，民法典分则体系的构造应以权利类型体系为基础，综合考虑逻辑、审美与实用性等因素。

This book charts the vicissitudes of a rural community of papermakers in Sichuan. The process of transforming bamboo into paper involves production-related and social skills, as well as the everyday skills that allowed these papermakers to survive in an era of tumultuous change. The Chinese revolution - understood as a series of interconnected political, social, and technological transformations - was, Jacob Eyferth argues, as much about the redistribution of skill, knowledge, and technical control as it was about the redistribution of land and political power. The larger context for this study is the 'rural-urban divide': the institutional, social, and economic cleavages that separate rural people from urbanites. This book traces the changes in the distribution of knowledge that led to a massive transfer of technical control from villages to cities, from primary producers to managerial elites, and from women to men. It asks how a vision of rural people as unskilled has affected their place in the body politic and contributed to their disenfranchisement. By viewing skill as a contested resource, subject to distribution struggles, it addresses the issue of how revolution, state-making, and marketization have changed rural China.

《语言学方法论》分为三篇；理论方法篇、描写方法篇、实验方法篇。这样区分是为了讨论问题的方便；第一篇是针对理论语言学的方法论的；第二篇是针对从人类学语言学传统开始，一直发展为描写语言学、社会语言学、文化语言学、篇章语言学的方法论的；第三篇是针对应用语言学（教育语言学）、心理语言学、认知语言学的方法论的。这是以方法论为纲来展开讨论，言学（教育语言学）、心理语言学、认知语言学的方法论的。这是以方法论为纲来展开讨论，实际上很多语言学研究往往会交叉使用不同的方法。
