Half a world away from the calm beauty of Puget Sound, there's a lab where Bill Gates's software dreams come true. . . . So begins Guanxi, the compelling on-the-scenes tale of the allure of China today -- and of a unique partnership between the world's most famous capitalist and the world's largest communist nation that showcases what it takes to compete in the age of global innovation.
</p>
<p align="left">
Guanxi (gwan-shee), the Chinese term for mutually beneficial relationships essential to success in the Middle Kingdom, tells the story of the juggernaut research lab that underpins Microsoft's relationship building in China. Unfurled through a gripping narrative that moves between Beijing and Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington, it follows the lab's emergence as a mecca for Chinese computer-science talent -- a place where 10,000 résumés arrive in a month, written exams are farmed out to eleven cities to screen applicants, and interns sleep on cots next to their cubicles. So far, the company has invested well over $100 million and hired more than 400 of China's best and brightest to turn the outpost into an important window on the future of computing and a training ground to uplift the state of Chinese computer science -- creating dramatic payoffs for both Microsoft and its host country that are helping the company overcome many of the challenges of China.
</p>
<p align="left">
Guanxi traces the arc of the lab's stunning success from a memo by erstwhile Microsoft visionary Nathan Myhrvold to its early days under maverick speech recognition guru Kai-Fu Lee (since plucked away by Google for some $10 million), and to its more recent tutelage under former child prodigies Ya-Qin Zhang and Harry Shum. The two China-born stars, who both attended college in their native country by the age of thirteen, have orchestrated the Beijing lab's recent emergence as an epicenter of Microsoft's intensifying battles against Google in the search wars, Nokia in the wireless arena, and Sony in graphics and entertainment.
</p>
<p align="left">
As pundits rail about the "China threat" to U.S. competitiveness and offer often-hackneyed arguments against outsourcing, Guanxi explores the true ramifications of China's high-tech buildup -- and the means by which it can be turned to competitive advantage, in part by "insourcing" the untapped talent in the country's top universities. Sprinkled with telling observations, compelling characters, and lively anecdotes about the brilliant successes and sometimes painful stumbles of the world's most powerful software company, Guanxi is essential reading for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and technologists around the globe.

From the acclaimed author of River Town comes a rare portrait, both intimate and epic, of twenty-first-century China as it opens its doors to the outside world. A century ago, outsiders saw Chinaas a place where nothing ever changes. Today the coun-try has become one of the most dynamic regions on earth. That sense of time—the contrast between past and present, and the rhythms that emerge in a vast, ever-evolving country—is brilliantly illuminated by Peter Hessler in Oracle Bones , a book that explores the human side of China's transformation. Hessler tells the story of modern-day China and its growing links to the Western world as seen through the lives of a handful of ordinary people. In addition to the author, an American writer living in Beijing, the narrative follows Polat, a member of a forgotten ethnic minority, who moves to the United States in searchof freedom; William Jefferson Foster, who grew up in an illiterate family and becomes a teacher; Emily,a migrant factory worker in a city without a past; and Chen Mengjia, a scholar of oracle-bone inscriptions, the earliest known writing in East Asia, and a man whosetragic story has been lost since the Cultural Revolution. All are migrants, emigrants, or wanderers who find themselves far from home, their lives dramatically changed by historical forces they are struggling to understand. Peter Hessler excavates the past and puts a remarkable human face on the history he uncovers. In a narrative that gracefully moves between the ancient and the present, the East and the West, Hessler captures the soul of a country that is undergoing a momentous change before our eyes.

万历十五年,亦即公元1587年,在西欧历史上为西班牙舰队全部出动征英的前一年;而在中国,这平平淡淡的一年中,发生了若干为历史学家所易于忽视的事件。这些事件,表面看来虽似末端小节,但实质上却是以前发生大事的症结,也是将在以后掀起波澜的机缘。在历史学家黄仁宇的眼中,其间的关系因果,恰为历史的重点,而我们的大历史之旅,也自此开始……
《万历十五年》是黄仁宇的成名之作,也是他的代表作之一。这本书融会了他数十年人生经历与治学体会,首次以“大历史观”分析明代社会之症结,观察现代中国之来路,给人启发良多。英文原本推出后,被美国多所大学采用为教科书,并两次获得美国书卷奖历史类好书的提名。
中华书局的增订版,重新核校全部文字,增收黄仁宇《1619年的辽东战役》等数篇文字,精选彩色历史图片10余幅。

In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society.

《中国敦煌壁画全集(1敦煌北凉北魏)》讲述南北朝时期是佛教在中国古代传播发展的一个高峰。根据现代学者统计,南朝有佛寺一千二百至三干听,北朝有三万所,隋朝有四千所。唐朝肓四万所,在敦煌莫高窟现存的四百九十二个洞窟中。北轲以前的有三十九个,而北瑰时期就有二十个,占二分之一强:人们从这些数字可以看出,北辑特别是北魏佛软和佛教美术发展盛况的一斑。
古代历史事实表明。在社会动荡,多数人的现实人生目标无法实现。生活昔递艰难困苦的情况下,及其以后的相当长时间内,往往是宗教的迅速发展时期。如果再加上统治者的提倡、参与,那么宗教的社会影响就会急划增强。中国历史上的南北朝阶段就是这样的时期。敦煌莫高窟中的北凉、北魏壁戤就是这样的时期的宗教美术作品。
如果说在通常情况下,在一百多年的时间裹。宗教壁画的基本题材主题、绘画技法风格、景观、佛像及其服师造型,一般下会出现重大明显的发展变化。那么,在敦煌莫高窟北凉、北魏壁画中却实现了这种变化。比如,基本髓材主题由「侧重宣扬忍辱、苦修、无原则地施舍和自我牺牲。转向注重表现说法、极乐净土;绘画技法风格从质朴、粗扩转向精细、华丽,景观、佛像及其服饰造型由印度类型转向中圃类型::总之。这些壁画从内容到形式发展变化幅度之大、速度之快是前所未有的。这些发展变化为人们进一步认识宗较美术,乃至整个美术发展历史的规障提供了难得的史料。因而增加了这部壁画集独特的艺术历史价值。
本集精选敦煌莫高窟北凉、北魏壁画代表作品及其精彩局部一百七十五幅。并发表了长期从事敦煌美术研究的学者檀声皇先生的专题论文。论文史料翔实,论点扎实。对于广大读者欣赏、研究这些壁画作品,相信会大有脾益。

本书是日本讲谈社“中国的历史”系列“辽 西夏 金 元”一卷。
《中国的历史》为日本讲谈社百周年献礼之作,是日本历史学家写给大众的中国通史读本。丛书自上古到近代,内容含概量大,撰述者均为日本该领域的代表性学者,作品大多构思巧妙,写法轻松,观点新颖,富于洞见,但同时又吸取了近些年来的诸多学术成果,利用了最新出土的史料,是一套可读性与严肃性兼备的重磅历史佳作。
本卷由日本学界该研究领域内的专家杉山正明撰写,复旦大学教授姚大力推荐,直接涉及的是9世纪后半期至14世纪末大约五百年间的历史。作者没有像中国人通常惯于接受的那样,依照“唐—五代—两宋—元”的历史变迁主线来呈现公元10到14世纪的中国史;相反,被很多人想当然地看做是阻断、破坏了本应由两宋来实现的国家统一大业的夏、辽与金,不再仅仅是出现在音乐正剧里的几段不和谐的变奏或插曲,而都在本书中担当起积极和正面的主要角色,由它们来贯穿从唐到元这一时段的中国史进程,作者认为本书所涉五百年乃至六百年间历史的整个进程,正是开启欧亚大陆世界史和中国史邂逅、交锋的六百年。

全书由50余篇散文组成,按时间脉络分为五个部分,描述了一个小城青年的成长历程。从昆仑山下的绿洲,到祁连山下的小城;从青翠的少年,到沧桑的中年;从最初的狂喜,到经历病痛、死亡、离别、内心的磨砺,直到最后在平静的生活中找到欣悦……这些不能承受的生命之重、生命之轻,他每每轻轻带过,却在人们心中掀起惊涛骇浪和无尽想象。
正如韩松落所说,写得越多,隐藏得也越多。其实是,隐藏得越多,袒露得也越多。本书是一部心灵突围史,在书中,我们也能看到自己的影子,和作者同悲同喜,那些困顿、悲伤、欣喜、茫然、突围、拯救,是我们每一个人的生命必经之途。
