Although 'continually and bitterly ashamed' that the Arabs had risen in revolt against the Turks as a result of fraudulent British promises of self-rule, Lawrence led them in a triumphant campaign which revolutionized the art of war. Seven Pillars of Wisdom recreates epic events with extraordinary vividness. In the words of E. M. Forster, 'Round this tent-pole of a military chronicle, T. E. has hung an unexampled fabric of portraits, descriptions, philosophies, emotions, adventures, dreams'. However flawed, Lawrence is one of the twentieth century's most fascinating figures. This is the greatest monument to his character and achievements.

《伊斯坦布尔：一座城市的记忆》书写的既是一部个人的历史，更是这座城市的忧伤。对帕慕克而言，伊斯坦布尔一直是一座充满帝国遗迹的城市。这个城市特有的“呼愁”，早已渗入少年帕慕克的身体和灵魂之中。如今作为作家的帕慕克，以其独特的历史感与善于描写的杰出天分，重访家族秘史，发掘旧地往事的脉络，拼贴出当代伊斯坦布尔的城市生活。跟随他的成长记忆，我们可以目睹他个人失落的美好时光，认识传统和现代并存的城市历史，感受土耳其文明的感伤。

2008年5月的北京，诺贝尔文学奖得主奥尔罕•帕慕克在其首个中国媒体见面会上，志得意满的当庭宣布：“我刚完成一部600页的小说。”——正是这部《纯真博物馆》！
“这是我最柔情的小说，是对众生显示出最大耐心与敬意的一部。”

1975年的春天，伊斯坦布尔，30岁的富家公子凯末尔与名媛茜贝尔订婚在先，却意外遇到出身贫寒的远房表妹——18岁的清纯少女芙颂。两人炽热的爱恋过后，凯末尔最终与茜贝尔解除了婚约，却发现芙颂早已离他而去。
凯末尔追随着少女的影子和幽灵，深入另一个伊斯坦布尔，穿行于穷困的后街陋巷，流连于露天影院。在被民族主义分子的炸弹破坏的街道上，在被油轮相撞的大火照亮的海峡边，在军事政变后的宵禁里，他努力向芙颂靠近，直到无法承受的思念使生活完全偏离。
为了平复爱的痛苦，他悉心收集起心上人的一切，她爱过的，甚至是她触碰过的一切，将它们珍藏进自己的“纯真博物馆”……

·纯真博物馆
1. 帕慕克为写本书，确曾走访全球各大小博物馆。他“泡馆”颇有瘾，有照片为证。
（详见：http://www.masumiyetmuzesi.com/）
2. 该博物馆确会存在。帕慕克多年前曾在伊斯坦布尔购置一处房产，所在地正是书中所写芙颂家的住址——楚库尔主麻的达尔戈奇•契柯玛泽街24号。此地会以本书命名并改建为特色博物馆，藏品主要反映伊斯坦布尔当地的文化和城市生活。纯真博物馆计划于2010年起接待游客，凭书中所附门票可得到一次免费参观的机会。

「伊斯坦堡的命運就是我的命運：
我依附於這個城市，只因她造就了今天的我」

在鄂圖曼土耳其帝國瓦解之後，世界幾乎忘了曾經叱吒風雲的伊斯坦堡存在過的事實。這座帕慕克所生長的城市如今窮困潦倒，在它長達兩千年的歷史以來從未像現在這般遺世獨立。對帕慕克而言，伊斯坦堡一直是一座充滿帝國遺跡與銷聲黯然的城市。他自己的內心也一直與這段銷聲黯然的過往爭戰不休，終於體悟出能超越這段記憶的唯一方式，就是與這段輝煌過如今卻澹然的歷史和平共存下去。

帕慕克於一九五二年出生在伊斯坦堡的一個中產階級的家庭，從小他就是個愛做白日夢的孩子，住在土耳其市中心為人所熟知的其中一棟建築──「帕慕克公寓」，而且帕慕克家族的分支分戶全都住在同棟公寓的不同樓層中。隨著時光遞嬗，家庭的生活型態也隨著土耳其的政經情勢而改變，對於帕慕克來說，整個家族群居的公寓不僅是成長的中心，整個伊斯坦堡更是圍繞著這幢公寓再向外延伸的世界。

如今作家帕慕克以其獨特的歷史感與善於描寫的傑出天分，重訪他家族的秘辛與習性，發掘出那些舊地往事的梗概和脈絡，拼貼出形形色色的當代城市生活。經由他的引導，和透過他所剖析自己家族的秘密和特質，我們跟著走進了鄂圖曼帝國的文明之中，在帕慕克筆下所營造的時代氛圍和字裡行間，處處透露著對土耳其文明的感傷，呈現出傳統和現代之間多所衝突的城市歷史，不啻為一本自傳性質的城市傳記。

隨著帕慕克對伊斯坦堡的記憶，在他頹圮的鄂圖曼別墅中、後巷裡和水道之間，我們幾乎可以目睹伊斯坦堡的歷史遺跡，和他個人失落的美好時光。除此之外，在他的回憶之中，還介紹了幾位伊斯坦堡的作家、藝術家和殺人犯，為這座他稱之為家鄉的城市，提供善與惡、美與醜的對比。

To identify the economic stars of the future we should abandon the habit of extrapolating from the recent past and lumping wildly diverse countries together. We need to remember that sustained economic success is a rare phenomenon. As an era of easy money and easy growth comes to a close, China in particular will cool down. Other major players including Brazil, Russia, and India face their own daunting challenges and inflated expectations. The new "breakout nations" will probably spring from the margins, even from the shadows. Ruchir Sharma, one of the world s largest investors in emerging markets for Morgan Stanley, here identifies which are most likely to leap ahead and why. After two decades spent traveling the globe tracking the progress of developing countries, Sharma has produced a book full of surprises: why the overpriced cocktails in Rio are a sign of revival in Detroit; how the threat of the "population bomb" came to be seen as a competitive advantage; how an industrial revolution in Asia is redefining what manufacturing can do for a modern economy; and how the coming shakeout in the big emerging markets could shift the spotlight back to the West, especially American technology and German manufacturing. What emerges is a clear picture of the shifting balance of global economic power and how it plays out for emerging nations and for the West. In a captivating exploration studded with vignettes, Sharma reveals his rules on how to spot economic success stories. Breakout Nations is a rollicking education for anyone looking to understand where the future will happen.

A thrilling and revelatory narrative of one of the most epic and consequential periods in 20th century history – the Arab Revolt and the secret “great game” to control the Middle East
The Arab Revolt against the Turks in World War One was, in the words of T.E. Lawrence, “a sideshow of a sideshow.” Amidst the slaughter in European trenches, the Western combatants paid scant attention to the Middle Eastern theater. As a result, the conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers far removed from the corridors of power.
Curt Prüfer was an effete academic attached to the German embassy in Cairo, whose clandestine role was to foment Islamic jihad against British rule. Aaron Aaronsohn was a renowned agronomist and committed Zionist who gained the trust of the Ottoman governor of Syria. William Yale was the fallen scion of the American aristocracy, who traveled the Ottoman Empire on behalf of Standard Oil, dissembling to the Turks in order gain valuable oil concessions. At the center of it all was Lawrence. In early 1914 he was an archaeologist excavating ruins in the sands of Syria; by 1917 he was the most romantic figure of World War One, battling both the enemy and his own government to bring about the vision he had for the Arab people.
The intertwined paths of these four men – the schemes they put in place, the battles they fought, the betrayals they endured and committed – mirror the grandeur, intrigue and tragedy of the war in the desert. Prüfer became Germany’s grand spymaster in the Middle East. Aaronsohn constructed an elaborate Jewish spy-ring in Palestine, only to have the anti-Semitic and bureaucratically-inept British first ignore and then misuse his organization, at tragic personal cost. Yale would become the only American intelligence agent in the entire Middle East – while still secretly on the payroll of Standard Oil. And the enigmatic Lawrence rode into legend at the head of an Arab army, even as he waged secret war against his own nation’s imperial ambitions.
Based on years of intensive primary document research, LAWRENCE IN ARABIA definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed. Sweeping in its action, keen in its portraiture, acid in its condemnation of the destruction wrought by European colonial plots, this is a book that brilliantly captures the way in which the folly of the past creates the anguish of the present.

This text is an introduction to the modern theory and applications of probability and stochastics. The style and coverage is geared towards the theory of stochastic processes, but with some attention to the applications. In many instances the gist of the problem is introduced in practical, everyday language and then is made precise in mathematical form. The first four chapters are on probability theory: measure and integration, probability spaces, conditional expectations, and the classical limit theorems. There follows chapters on martingales, Poisson random measures, Levy Processes, Brownian motion, and Markov Processes. Special attention is paid to Poisson random measures and their roles in regulating the excursions of Brownian motion and the jumps of Levy and Markov processes. Each chapter has a large number of varied examples and exercises. The book is based on the author's lecture notes in courses offered over the years at Princeton University. These courses attracted graduate students from engineering, economics, physics, computer sciences, and mathematics. Erhan Cinlar has received many awards for excellence in teaching, including the President's Award for Distinguished Teaching at Princeton University. His research interests include theories of Markov processes, point processes, stochastic calculus, and stochastic flows. The book is full of insights and observations that only a lifetime researcher in probability can have, all told in a lucid yet precise style.
