编者序言
三年前商务印书馆委托我编纂一部近现代西方有关历史理论和史学理论的选集。这里的历史理论和史学理论，其涵义大致相当于当今西方通常所谓的“思辨的历史哲学”和“分析的历史哲学”以及我国传统意义上的“史论”。经过和几位同志磋商之后，我们都认为这对我国历史学界是一项有意义的工作，遂决定承担下来。
不用说，这方面的资料浩如烟海，要想编纂一部比较全面的选集，诚非易事。我们从此前斯特恩（Fritz Stern）、盖德纳（Patrick Gardiner）、梅叶霍夫（Hans Meyerhoff）和张文杰兄的各家选本（而尤其是迈纳克[Friedrich Meinecke]的巨著《历史主义的兴起》一书）中，得到了不少的启发和线索；但最后的选择和取舍，终究是要由自己做出，而不能、也不应简单地抄袭前人。古往今来的一切选家，总是根据自己当时的理解来进行选择；因此没有两种选本是雷同的，我们目前的这个选本也不例外。虽然为了搜集、挑选和翻译这些资料，我们也曾付出不少劳动，但遗憾的是有些材料仍一时未能找到，有些选择限于我们的水平未必妥当，而我们译文中的错误和抵悟也不敢自保。这项工作已进行三年有余，不宜再拖，所以暂先结集出版。如有可能，希望过些年后出下一版时，根据专家和读者们的意见以及我们自己今后可能有所提高的水平，再加以增删和核定。
书中所选材料，凡是有中文译本的，我们都尽量采用中文译本；至于没有中文译本的，均由我们自己动手译出。可能我们的译文在数量上要比已有的译文，还更多一些。由于译文不是出自一人一时之手，所以从文字到内容都有前后不一致的地方，已无法强行统一。这一缺点，尚乞读者垂鉴。原文的出处、选者、译者，都已在各章的末尾注明。
参加本书编选和翻译工作的，是清华大学文化研究所的以下工作人员（按姓名笔划）：刘鑫、李春平、何冰、何兆武、张立平、柳卸林、程钢、程捷、蒋劲松。最初的提纲是由我草拟的，后来在工作过程中又经过各个参加工作同志的商讨和修订，最后遂呈现为本书目前的面貌。主编工作原请柳卸林同志担任，其后他因工作调动不能继续担任，遂仍由我承乏。程钢同志对全书的组织和统一，做了许多工作。清华大学文化研究所的羊涤生、钱逊、胡伟希、张金华。韩晓华、阎秀芝、张淑琴等同志，商务印书馆的陈应年、武维琴、陈兆福等同志，都曾对我们的工作给予热情的指导和帮助，在此一并致谢。

《宋集序跋汇编》收录现存宋人诗文别集历代主要传本(包括重要选本)之序跋、题跋，读者从中可以获得各集编纂、刊刻、流传、校勘、评论的第一手资料。本书以收录版本序跋为主。

这部《中国政治思想史》，是他当时在北大开设的课程，也是他对中国社会史研究的成果。书中依据陶希圣自己的历史分期观点，对氏族时代、王权时代、士族时代及王权再建时代的政治思想的起源、发展及转变过程，做了独具特色的分析。初稿于1932年至1936年间写成，由上海新生命书局出版。1942年抗日战争时期，又在重庆南方书局出版了修订版。从1943年到1945年两年问，共加印6次，一时洛阳纸贵。
1978年中国改革开放后，陶希圣的史学成就逐渐得到重新的认识和评价。为了延续学术传统，保留现代学术史上的重要成果，中国大百科全书出版社将《中国政治思想史》列入《百科史学·史学名著丛书》，重新整理出版，希望为相关研究领域提供有价值的参考。

This book seeks to identify the forces which explain how and why some parts of the world have grown rich and others have lagged behind. Encompassing 2000 years of history, part 1 begins with the Roman Empire and explores the key factors that have influenced economic development in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe. Part 2 covers the development of macroeconomic tools of analysis from the 17th century to the present. Part 3 looks to the future and considers what the shape of the world economy might be in 2030. Combining both the close quantitative analysis for which Professor Maddison is famous with a more qualitative approach that takes into account the complexity of the forces at work, this book provides students and all interested readers with a totally fascinating overview of world economic history. Professor Maddison has the unique ability to synthesise vast amounts of information into a clear narrative flow that entertains as well as informs, making this text an invaluable resource for all students and scholars, and anyone interested in trying to understand why some parts of the World are so much richer than others.

《〈營造法式〉辭解》是對我國古代建築經典《營造法式》中1103個詞條的解釋，是建築史學家陳明達先生晚年研究《營造法式》的遺著。作爲陳先生的學生，王其亨、殷力欣先生一起承擔起了整理《辭解》的工作，王其亨教授領導的天津大學建築學院建築歷史與理論研究所的師生也多與其間。值此中國營造學社成立80週年之際，在各方人士的共同推動下，將10餘年來整理和學習這部著作的階段性成果付梓，以饗學界同人，並告慰陳先生在天之靈。筆者受王老師和殷先生所囑，謹將陳明達先生的生平和學術成就、這部著作的內容和價值以及我們整理工作的有關情況略作介紹，以供讀者參考。

《西方政治思想史(套装上下册)》可以说是从底下写起，注意统治者。也兼重被治者。我向来认为，历来论者对人民——有时称为暴民——所下的功夫一直不够。政治的素材是人，一位思想家对这素材的观点一定会影响他对政治可能及应有境界的想法。不过，我发现这样的写法报不容易维持，因为思想家关于政治共同体素材的看法往往深藏在他们的著作文字之中，这些文字篇章必须摆到刑架上拷问，才吐露实情。而人人都知道，拷问逼供得到的案情挺不可靠。

《货币、银行信贷与经济周期》在这本跨学科的巨著中，作者以翔实的史料，充分的文献考证以及严谨的理论论证，展现了金融业和银行的发展史，介绍了货币不规则存管合约的法理本质，部分准备金制度的历史沿革，经济学界关于货币银行的主要观点以及奥地利学派关于货币、银行信贷系统的理论。《货币、银行信贷与经济周期》气势恢宏，细节引人入胜，对于想了解金融史、经济史的读者，绝对是超值的读本。

In this landmark work, a Nobel Prize-winning economist develops a new way of understanding the process by which economies change. Douglass North inspired a revolution in economic history a generation ago by demonstrating that economic performance is determined largely by the kind and quality of institutions that support markets. As he showed in two now classic books that inspired the New Institutional Economics (today a subfield of economics), property rights and transaction costs are fundamental determinants. Here, North explains how different societies arrive at the institutional infrastructure that greatly determines their economic trajectories. North argues that economic change depends largely on 'adaptive efficiency,' a society's effectiveness in creating institutions that are productive, stable, fair, and broadly accepted - and, importantly, flexible enough to be changed or replaced in response to political and economic feedback.While adhering to his earlier definition of institutions as the formal and informal rules that constrain human economic behavior, he extends his analysis to explore the deeper determinants of how these rules evolve and how economies change. Drawing on recent work by psychologists, he identifies intentionality as the crucial variable and proceeds to demonstrate how intentionality emerges as the product of social learning and how it then shapes the economy's institutional foundations and thus its capacity to adapt to changing circumstances. "Understanding the Process of Economic Change" accounts not only for past institutional change but also for the diverse performance of present-day economies. This major work is therefore also an essential guide to improving the performance of developing countries.

Lewis Mumford's massive historical study brings together a wide array of evidence--from the earliest group habitats to medieval towns to the modern centers of commerce (as well as dozens of black-and-white illustrations)--to show how the urban form has changed throughout human civilization. His tone is ultimately somewhat pessimistic: Mumford was deeply concerned with what he viewed as the dehumanizing aspects of the metropolitan trend, which he deemed "a world of professional illusionists and their credulous victims." (In another typically unrestrained criticism, he dubbed the Pentagon a Bronze Age monument to humanity's basest impulses, as well as an "effete and worthless baroque conceit.") Mumford hoped for a rediscovery of urban principles that emphasized humanity's organic relationship to its environment. The City in History remains a powerfully influential work, one that has shaped the agendas of urban planners, sociologists, and social critics since its publication in the 1960s.

In this concluding volume of The Myth of the Machine, Mumford brings to a head his radical revisions of the stale popular conceptions of human and technological progress. Far from being an attack on science and technics, The Pentagon of Power seeks to establish a more organic social order based on technological resources. Index; photographs.

Mumford explains the forces that have shaped technology since prehistoric times and shaped the modern world. He shows how tools developed because of significant parallel inventions in ritual, language, and social organization. “It is a stimulating volume, informed both with an enormous range of knowledge and empathetic spirit” (Eliot Fremont-Smith, New York Times). Index; photographs.

Lewis Mumford - architectural critic, theorist of technology, urbanologist, city planner, cultural critic, historian, biographer, and philosopher - was the author of more than thirty influential books, many of which expounded his views on the perils of urban sprawl and a society obsessed with "technics." Featuring a new introduction by Casey Nelson Blake, this classic text provides the essence of Mumford's views on the distinct yet interpenetrating roles of technology and the arts in modern culture. Mumford contends that modern man's overemphasis on technics has contributed to the depersonalization and emptiness of much of twentieth-century life. He issues a call for a renewed respect for artistic impulses and achievements. His repeated insistence that technological development take the Human as its measure - as well as his impassioned plea for humanity to make the most of its "splendid potentialities and promise" and reverse its progress toward anomie and destruction - is ever more relevant as the new century dawns.

一个世纪以前，中国以殷墟甲骨、西陲简牍和敦煌卷子等多项重大文物发现，闻名于世。而当代著名学者人物，自王国维先生著成经典大作《简牍检署考》之后，能将有关书籍历史文物众多方面总括贯通，进行系统而又深入研究的，惟有旅美华人学者钱存训先生的这部《书于竹帛》。在他之前，英国剑桥大学的李约瑟博士也曾说过：“我们可以断言，钱著和卡特的名著（即《中国印刷术的发明和西传》）完全可以媲美而并驾齐驱。”全书以通俗易懂的语言和娓娓而述的风格，把一切文字学文物的“门外汉”，引入中国古代文字及其载体和书写工具之演变历程，多角度地观照其源远流长和多姿多彩。至于学术方面的真知灼见，宜称层出迭见，盘踞前沿，故又为一切研治中国文物学、考古学、文化史、科技史之学人案头必备。

Economics studies human behavior within the context of markets. Contemporary economic theory has developed from the contributions of myriad thinkers over its history. Ekelund and Hébert catalog the ideas of these pioneers and extract the lessons within the theories, assessing their importance and subsequent impact. They present an in-depth survey of the complete range of mainstream economic ideas from ancient times to the present, illustrating the broad scope and remarkable continuity of economic analysis throughout the ages. Economic theories have a life of their own; the study of their development is meaningful and fruitful for gaining a better understanding of contemporary economics. Outstanding features: 1) explores the nature, scope, and method of economic inquiry creatively; 2) presents abstract theory in a comprehensible historical context; 3) uncovers the thought processes of the great minds in economics; 4) emphasizes continuity and consensus in the evolution of mainstream economic theory, yet does not eschew alternative points of view; 5) explores the past for lessons that might be learned or insight gained in the present; 6) provides a feel for the kinds of ideas that have staying power; and 7) underscores key ideas impacting contemporary thought and practice.

First published more than a decade ago, "Globalizing Capital" remains an indispensable part of the economic literature today. Written by renowned economist Barry Eichengreen, this classic book emphasizes the importance of the international monetary system for understanding the international economy. Brief and lucid, "Globalizing Capital" is intended not only for economists, but also a general audience of historians, political scientists, professionals in government and business, and anyone with a broad interest in international relations.Eichengreen demonstrates that the international monetary system can be understood and effectively governed only if it is seen as a historical phenomenon extending from the period of the gold standard to today's world of fluctuating prices. This updated edition continues to document the effect of floating exchange rates and contains a new chapter on the Asian financial crisis, the advent of the euro, the future of the dollar, and related topics. "Globalizing Capital" shows how these and other recent developments can be put in perspective only once their political and historical contexts are understood.
