作者运用从中国大陆、台湾和美国搜集到的大量从未披露过的历史档案资料，和其高超的讲故事能力，出色的讲述了中国的希姆莱戴笠复杂的个性和人生，特别是作为蒋介石的特务头子是如何在国民党的政坛险滩中腾挪盘旋，不断上升的，以及如何在国民党内外和全国建立、扩张其庞大的间谍王国。
本书不仅极大地丰富了我们对戴笠和国民党特工的认识,而且加深了我们对这一阶段民国史的了解。

本书是国外毛泽东研究译丛之一。这是一部出自大家手笔的磅礴之作。作者试图回答的问题是：“一位旷世伟人究竟靠什么思想予以滋养？”魏斐德教授驰骋往来于康德与王明阳之间，在中西文化宽阔的思想史海洋中，架设起透视毛泽东思想的知识桥梁。
与历史并驾齐驱，决心与它斗争，也就是在理解历史的需要时承认它。毛泽东通过设置对立面而知道自己是战胜强敌的革命者，是顺应历史发展的英明主席。……对历史发展规律的信奉，使自我有所遵循。但是，规定自我的要求却创造了与宇宙变化相竞争的必要性，即把一种基本目的强加在宇宙头上。毛泽东在《矛盾论》中的话说得好：“原来矛盾着的各方面，不能孤立地存在。假如没有和它作对的矛盾的一方，它自己这一方就失去了存在的条件。”
没有意志，无所谓历史；而没有历史，也就完全没有意志。

本书以坚实的资料和严密的论证，对中国城市与资本主义发展研究进行研究，并着重再现了中国近代史；同时作者证明了马克斯·韦伯所谓中国“没有形成一个成熟的城市共同体”的论断，是对中国社会发展的一个极大误解。作者两部研究中国城市的著作被视为研究中国新城市史和社会史的代表作，奠定了作者在学术界的地位。作者高屋建瓴的视野，严谨认真的工作，将确保本书在中国史研究领域的不朽地位。

本书从对美利坚的概述开始(第一、二章)，继而描述清教徒们如何创造出一套适应他们需要的辞令(第三章)，以及对美国第一部史诗的作者科顿?马瑟的生平著作的详细分析(第四章)。随后的两章讲的是从18世纪中叶开始经过革命到杰克逊时期清教辞令的转化。主要人物是大觉醒的领袖乔纳森?爱德华兹和民族历史学家乔治?班克洛夫特，后者的著作提供了新共和国初创几十年中神话塑造的主要源泉。我接着转到更为复杂的对神话的文学处理问题。在霍桑的《红字》(第七章)中我读到了美国共识的象征方法的经典程式。在麦尔维尔《皮埃尔》(第八章)中，我看到了我们对那象征学的最深刻的批判。在爱默生的散文(第九章)中，我探索了美国方式最有影响的方面——个人主义理论——的发展，我称这些问题更为复杂是因为它们呈现在艺术作品之中，仪式和意识形态可以很容易地连在一起理解，但文学想象为分析加上了另一维度。

When Sacvan Bercovitch’s The American Jeremiad first appeared in 1978, it was hailed as a landmark study of dissent and cultural formation in America, from the Puritans’ writings through the major literary works of the antebellum era. For this long-awaited anniversary edition, Bercovitch has written a deeply thoughtful and challenging new preface that reflects on his classic study of the role of the political sermon, or jeremiad, in America from a contemporary perspective, while assessing developments in the field of American studies and the culture at large.

"Perhaps the most penetrating examination yet published of 'the sources of our obsessive concern with the meaning of America.'"--Jack P. Greene, "History"
"The most valuable achievement in colonial American literature since the best work of Perry Miller."--David Levin, "William and Mary Quarterly"
"A brave and brilliant book...that is the most significant and far-reaching contribution to the theory of American literature in recent years."--Alan Trachtenberg, "Partisan Review"
"A study which reaches with daring ease from the Bible and Augustine to Emerson and Whitman... [and] offers an agenda for the next several decades of scholarly work on colonial religious studies."--John F. Wilson, "Theology Today"
"[Bercovitch] casts a dazzling light on the myth of America and the conundrums of individuality and community that are the core of the American character."--Michael Zuckerman, "Early American Literature"

'Recipient of the Modern Language Association's James Russell Lowell Prize.' "Goes a long way to proving that any literary masterpiece, read with sympathy and intelligence, works to re-establish the connections between the work of art and the life and thought of its time."--James R. Mellow, 'Times Literary Supplement'

Between the Revolution and the Civil War there developed in the United States a new culture - modern and liberal. With a new vision of community and nationality and an interwoven set of institutions (legal, political and religious), it had as a link between all these, a complex system of symbols, rituals, and beliefs. The subject of The Rites of Assent is the growth of this symbolic economy. Sacvan Bercovitch traces its origins back to the colonial period, and specifically to the legacy of early New England. He analyses the manifold functions of America' - as a view of history, a spiritual ideal, a myth of origins, and a mode of identity - in the work of influential figures from the Revolution to the Civil War. The major part of the book explores these themes in the work of classic American writers - Hawthorne, Melville, and Emerson. Bercovitch's focus is broadly cultural, emphasizing the connection between politics and language, popular and high literature, social action and creative expression. His book will be valuable reading for Americanists in every field, and to students of literature and culture.

This is the first comprehensive critical evaluation of the use of rational choice theory in political science. Writing in an accessible and nontechnical style, Donald P. Green and Ian Shapiro assess rational choice theory where it is reputed to be most successful: the study of collective action, the behavior of political parties and politicians, and such phenomena as voting cycles and Prisoner's Dilemmas. In their hard-hitting critique, Green and Shapiro demonstrate that the much heralded achievements of rational choice theory are in fact deeply suspect and that fundamental rethinking is needed if rational choice theorists are to contribute to the understanding of politics. In their final chapters, they anticipate and respond to a variety of possible rational choice responses to their arguments, thereby initiating a dialogue that is bound to continue for some time.

本书是一本探讨“民族主义”的经典之作。作者扬弃了固有的研究途径和教条，以哥白尼精神寻找新的理论典范，为民族主义的研究开辟了一条崭新的道路。作者将民族、民族属性与民族主义视为一种“特殊的文化的人造物”，他从民族情感与文化根源来探讨不同民族属性的、全球各地的“想象的共同体”。作者将民族主义放在比政治史或政治思想史更广阔的“文化史”和“社会史”的背景中来理解——民族主义不再只是一种意识形态或政治

《社会选择与个人价值(第2版)》内容简介：自1951年《社会选择与个人价值(第2版)》第一版问世以来，社会选择领域的著述已经汗牛充栋。众所周知，《社会选择与个人价值(第2版)》奠基于前贤们对社会福利性质的思索，并试图提供一套系统的研究方法以总结以前的成就；社会选择理论中的一些准则常常被心照不宣地接受，我们的方法可以澄清这些准则的内在涵义，并揭示出它们的不一致性。
在（《社会选择与个人价值》（第二版）新译本即将出版之际，我想在一个稍微广阔的视角下反思一下《社会选择与个人价值(第2版)》的主题：人类生活最鲜明的特点之一，乃是合作的存在。我们万难想像，人类生活中还有不依赖于他人，不希求他人帮助的方面。经济学的主题在于“交换可以获益”，而交换必定依赖他人的存在。市场制造出了一种“人人独立行动”的幻觉，然而市场本身却是社会的建构。市场要能有效运行并发挥作用，少不了人们的通力协作。
当然，市场并非合作的惟一形式。 由于人类的儿童期漫长，离不开父母的养育，所以相形之下，家庭是更为有力的合作组织，随着社会的发展，政府也开始担负起了某些协同合作的任务。
合作并不是人类的惟一特点。很多动物，甚至某些植物也能合作。在演化中，它们因合作而更易生存。
