西方民主制号称是古希腊民主政体的继承者，但古希腊民主政体对权力与知识的思考却和我们迥然相异。我们认为专家因拥有专门的知识而具有了治理他人的资格，但古希腊人却认为专业能力本身并不会使统治具有合法性。世界上首批公职人员的身份是公共奴隶，他们具备普通希腊人所欠缺的各种知识，他们的身影充斥于各个管理部门，可古希腊人很清楚知识会垄断权力。本书从各个层面剖析古希腊公共奴隶的来龙去脉，重新对权力和知识进行了一番梳理。

The Seven Years' War was the world's first global conflict, spanning five continents and the critical sea lanes that connected them. Winner of the 2005 France-Ameriques Prize, this book is the fullest account ever written of the French navy's role in the hostilities. It is also the most complete survey of both phases of the war: the French and Indian War in North America (1754-60) and the Seven Years' War in Europe (1756-63). By considering both phases of the war from every angle, Jonathan R. Dull shows not only that the two conflicts are so interconnected that neither can be fully understood in isolation but also that traditional interpretations of the war are largely inaccurate. His work also explains how the French navy, supposedly utterly crushed, could have figured so prominently in the War of American Independence only fifteen years later. A comprehensive work integrating diplomatic, naval, military, and political history, "The French Navy and the Seven Years' War" thoroughly explores the French perspective on the Seven Years' War.

A breathtaking look at the new science that can track consciousness deep in the brain
How does our brain generate a conscious thought? And why does so much of our knowledge remain unconscious? Thanks to clever psychological and brain-imaging experiments, scientists are closer to cracking this mystery than ever before.
In this lively book, Stanislas Dehaene describes the pioneering work his lab and the labs of other cognitive neuroscientists worldwide have accomplished in defining, testing, and explaining the brain events behind a conscious state. We can now pin down the neurons that fire when a person reports becoming aware of a piece of information and understand the crucial role unconscious computations play in how we make decisions. The emerging theory enables a test of consciousness in animals, babies, and those with severe brain injuries.
A joyous exploration of the mind and its thrilling complexities, Consciousness and the Brain will excite anyone interested in cutting-edge science and technology and the vast philosophical, personal, and ethical implications of finally quantifying consciousness.

The Number Sense is an enlightening exploration of the mathematical mind. Describing experiments that show that human infants have a rudimentary number sense, Stanislas Dehaene suggests that this sense is as basic as our perception of color, and that it is wired into the brain. Dehaene shows that it was the invention of symbolic systems of numerals that started us on the climb to higher mathematics. A fascinating look at the crossroads where numbers and neurons intersect, The Number Sense offers an intriguing tour of how the structure of the brain shapes our mathematical abilities, and how our mathematics opens up a window on the human mind.

由法兰西公学院教授帕特里克•布琼主编，来自法国国家科学研究院、法国高等社会科学研究院、巴黎政治学院、国家档案馆等学术机构的122位历史教授和研究员参 与创作。这部著作的特别之处在于，它不是传统的法国史，也不是传统的世界史，而是“以世界史为资料解释的法国史”。作者们以时间为线索（从史前至2015年），在政治、文学、医学、艺术、教育等多个领域，摘选重要的历史事件和现象，论述了法国与世界之间的相互影响及联系。法国与世界在这部书中自然交融，这在全世界的历史类书籍中都属于一种有趣的创新。

“欧洲一直拥有世上最好、最美的大学，在那儿产生了我们最美好的思想，给最伟大的作品带来灵感的思想，就是自由、人的尊严和博爱这些概念。欧洲的大学是文明的摇篮。但还有另一种欧洲教育，我们当前正在接受的教育：行刑队，奴役，酷刑，强暴——摧毁一切令生活美好的东西。这是黑暗的时刻。”
《欧洲教育》以斯大林格勒战役为背景，讲述了一群在波兰维尔诺（今立陶宛首都维尔纽斯）附近森林中进行反法西斯斗争的游击队员的故事，真实地描写了游击队员、当地民众和德国侵略者的行为和心理。小说获得当年的法国批评家奖，先后被译成多种文字。萨特在《现代》杂志发表评论，称其为“最好的抵抗运动小说”。

The presentation of a novel theory in orthogonal regression The literature about neural-based algorithms is often dedicated to principal component analysis (PCA) and considers minor component analysis (MCA) a mere consequence. Breaking the mold, Neural-Based Orthogonal Data Fitting is the first book to start with the MCA problem and arrive at important conclusions about the PCA problem. The book proposes several neural networks, all endowed with a complete theory that not only explains their behavior, but also compares them with the existing neural and traditional algorithms. EXIN neurons, which are of the authors' invention, are introduced, explained, and analyzed. Further, it studies the algorithms as a differential geometry problem, a dynamic problem, a stochastic problem, and a numerical problem. It demonstrates the novel aspects of its main theory, including its applications in computer vision and linear system identification. The book shows both the derivation of the TLS EXIN from the MCA EXIN and the original derivation, as well as: Shows TLS problems and gives a sketch of their history and applications Presents MCA EXIN and compares it with the other existing approaches Introduces the TLS EXIN neuron and the SCG and BFGS acceleration techniques and compares them with TLS GAO Outlines the GeTLS EXIN theory for generalizing and unifying the regression problems Establishes the GeMCA theory, starting with the identification of GeTLS EXIN as a generalization eigenvalue problem In dealing with mathematical and numerical aspects of EXIN neurons, the book is mainly theoretical. All the algorithms, however, have been used in analyzing real-time problems and show accurate solutions. Neural-Based Orthogonal Data Fitting is useful for statisticians, applied mathematics experts, and engineers.

这是一部百科全书式的经典巨著，书写了15至18世纪的资本主义发达史，由法国年鉴学派第二代领军人物、集大成者布罗代尔历时二十余年结撰而成。作者认为，资本主义并不是一朝一夕出现的，其基础只能在长时段的日常物质生活中去寻找。因此他以“总体史”为目标，以长达四百年的时段为整体对 象，从特定角度描述了世界物质文明和经济发展的历史。
全书共分三卷。第一卷《日常生活的结构：可能和不可能》好比“为世界过一次磅”，旨在确认前工业化时期世界的潜力限度，当时“物质世界”占据重要地位。
作为集大成之作，本书不仅展示出布罗代尔的博学广闻和驾驭浩瀚史料的非凡才能，也充分体现了年鉴学派对长时段发展和经济社会结构两个维度的重视与研究，而它在架构、概念、理论与论证方面所引发的争辩也使其更具长久的魅力。
