Named one of the greatest minds of the 20th century by Time , Tim Berners-Lee is responsible for one of that century's most important advancements: the world wide web. Now, this low-profile genius-who never personally profitted from his invention -offers a compelling protrait of his invention. He reveals the Web's origins and the creation of the now ubiquitous http and www acronyms and shares his views on such critical issues as censorship, privacy, the increasing power of softeware companies , and the need to find the ideal balance between commercial and social forces. He offers insights into the true nature of the Web, showing readers how to use it to its fullest advantage. And he presents his own plan for the Web's future, calling for the active support and participation of programmers, computer manufacturers, and social organizations to manage and maintain this valuable resource so that it can remain a powerful force for social change and an outlet for individual creativity.

丹宁勋爵对法律改革的贡献主要在英国，但他的思想的影响却不仅仅局限于英国。这些思想是现代社会发展的产物，因此为不少西方发达国家特别是英美法系国家的法学家所重视。虽然我国的法律和西方资本主义国家的法律有着本质的区别，但这种区别并不妨碍我们吸收和借鉴西方法学家提出的一些进步的思想。因此，研究丹宁的法学著作及其法学思想，对于完善我国的法制建设同样是有所帮助的。因此，我根据The Oxford Companion to Law（1980）（《牛津法律指南》）和《牛津法律词典》（上海翻译出版公司1991年版）等较权威的资料对一些法律专有名词和历史人物加了注释。希望能对读者有所帮助。

An award-winning translation of the influential Danish master
Niels Lyhne is an aspiring poet, torn between romanticism and realism, faith and reason. Through his relationships with six women—including his young widowed aunt, a seductive free spirit, and his passionate cousin who marries his friend—his search for purpose becomes a yielding to disillusionment. One of Danish literature's greatest novels, with nods to Kierkegaard and a protagonist some critics have compared to Hamlet, Jacobsen's masterpiece has at its center a young man who faces the anguish of the human condition but cannot find comfort in the Christian faith. Tiina Nunnally's award-winning translation offers readers a chance to experience anew a writer deeply revered by Rilke, Ibsen, Mann, and Hesse.

《西线无战事》是德国现代著名作家埃里希•马里亚•雷马克的代表作品。《西线无战事》讲述的是第一次世界大战期间，主人公保罗和他的三个同学受“保卫祖国、保卫人民”的欺骗宣传上了战场。在战争中他们目睹战争的残酷性和毁灭性，眼看着一个个战友相继死亡，他们的英雄主义幻想破产了，内心发生了变化，开始对战争怀疑、厌恶甚至憎恨。这部小说是一战时期被毁火的德国青年一代的控诉书，作品的成功之处在于它以异乎寻常的真实、毫不留情地揭开了这场所谓神圣的、美丽的战争的面纱，表现了极为鲜明的反战主题。这本书一出版就引起无与伦比的轰动效应，先后被译成29种文字，销量高达800万册，尤其受到当地青年的热烈欢迎。

Winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature. A city is hit by an epidemic of 'white blindness.' The blindness spreads, sparing no one. Authorities confine the blind to a vacant mental hospital secured by armed guards. Inside, the criminal element among the blind hold the rest captive: food rations are stolen, women are raped. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers through the barren streets. The developments within this oddly anonymous group -- the first blind man, the old man with the black eye patch, the girl with dark glasses, the boy with no mother, and the dog of tears -- are as uncanny as the surrounding chaos is harrowing. PA parable of loss and disorientation, of man's worst appetites and hopeless weaknesses, Blindness is one of the most challenging, thought-provoking, and ultimately exhilarating novels published in any language in recent years.

"Brings together the cognitive, the cultural, and the neurological in an elegant, compelling narrative. A revelatory work."
-Oliver Sacks, M.D.
The act of reading is so easily taken for granted that we forget what an astounding feat it is. How can a few black marks on white paper evoke an entire universe of meanings? It's even more amazing when we consider that we read using a primate brain that evolved to serve an entirely different purpose. In this riveting investigation, Stanislas Dehaene explores every aspect of this human invention, from its origins to its neural underpinnings. A world authority on the subject, Dehaene reveals the hidden logic of spelling, describes pioneering research on hiw we process languages, and takes us into a new appreciation of the brain and its wondrous capacity to adapt.

This book focuses on the importance of ideological and institutional factors in the rapid development of the British economy during the years between the Glorious Revolution and the Crystal Palace Exhibition. Joel Mokyr shows that we cannot understand the Industrial Revolution without recognizing the importance of the intellectual sea changes of Britain’s Age of Enlightenment. In a vigorous discussion, Mokyr goes beyond the standard explanations that creditgeographical factors, the role of markets, politics, and society to show that the beginnings of modern economic growth in Britain depended a great deal on what key players knew and believed, and how those beliefs affected their economic behavior. He argues that Britain led the rest of Europe into the Industrial Revolution because it was there that the optimal intersection of ideas, culture, institutions, and technology existed to make rapid economic growth achievable. His wide-ranging evidence covers sectors of the British economy often neglected, such as the service industries.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective, and narrator, is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's, a form of autism. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down.

本书是本雅明的代表作，作者在本书上所耗费的心力，所寄托的希望，所装载的哲思，从谋篇至行文都有十足的体现。原本在文学史上不被人看重的巴洛克时代德意志悲苦剧，在他笔下却勾连起了西方自古典经中世纪而至他所处的二十世纪二十年代的文化史、美学史、宗教史。笔墨既驰骋古今，释义则不落窠臼。哲学式批评的角度在文学研究内部屡破藩篱，而在广义文化研究层面更让人耳目一新，及至今日，费解之名仍在，独创魅力不减。

From perfectly formed potatoes to adulterous US presidents, and from domestic upsets to millennial fever, Bill Bryson just cannot resist airing his opinions and standing up for his (mostly) law-abiding fellow American citizens. But of course after twenty years in England, he is now back on the other side of the pond, and is obviously having a little trouble finding his true American self again. After vigorous exercise on the Appalachian Trail comes this edited collection of Bryson’s most splenetic comic pieces culled from his humorous regular column in the Mail on Sunday.

本书是黑塞的诗集，收录诗约百首。诗歌对黑塞而言，“是灵魂对经历的反应……诗最先只对诗人自己说话，是他的呼吸，他的呐喊，他的梦，他的微笑，他的挣扎”。他生命危机时期的苦难黑暗与混乱状态，内心的冲突与沟通也全都自然入诗。他的诗与他的小说、散文内 涵完全一致。

第二次世界大战之后，德国仅出现过四部1000页以上的哲学巨著，即马丁•海德格尔的两卷本《尼采》（1961）、尼古莱•哈特曼的《自然哲学》、卡尔•雅斯贝斯的《论真理》（1947）和恩斯特•布洛赫的《希望的原理》（1959）。在流 亡美国期间（1938-1947），布洛赫十年磨一剑，撰写了三卷本《希望的原理》，表达了他对一个没有剥削、压迫和异化的世界的希望。《希望的原理》一书的主旨是，阐明人类精神史的中心在于预先推定一个更美好生活的梦，即一个没有剥削、贫困和压迫的社会制度，而作为人类学-存在论范畴的“希望”（Hoffnung）集中体现了人类走向更美好未来的意图。
《希望的原理》一书的价值在于，它不仅是一部关于人类梦想和希望的百科全书，也是一部马克思主义传统的创新之作，极大地丰富了20世纪唯物主义思想，拓宽了马克思主义的“人性”研究领域。
