微網誌、討論區和社群網站，正熱熱鬧鬧地上演著全民書寫盛事。在複雜的網路世界裡，我們如何引領系統走向創新的未來？如何看待數位時代的新媒體型態，如何正視數位世界的新奇、互動、創意特質？
因《解讀電視》一書享譽盛名的文化研究學者約翰．哈特利，以鉅觀的理論架構，穿透當前的數位文化現象，交出這本《全民書寫運動》。他檢視從印刷媒體走向數位影音多媒體的歷史變遷，就媒體的科技及文化形式，論證網絡社會裡的媒體運作型態，探討熱衷貼文分享的網友、關心數位教育的師長、追求產業創新的企業家與官員，在數位浪潮中應該積極努力的方向。
哈特利認為，數位時代的發展關鍵，將是能否善用「數位素養」。經由數位科技，我們自由地讀寫並用，並透過社會網絡參與公共領域、為知識交流貢獻一己之力。我們不僅可以在商業和社群環境中發展個人事業，創造經濟與文化上的價值，連帶開創了集體智慧的知識成長模式。
哈特利由這種以社會網絡為基礎的市場形態，延伸出「創意產業」的核心運作邏輯，認為這正可全面推動創意革新、知識成長與人類福祉。
五十年前，文化研究學者霍加特交出經典之作《讀寫能力的用途》；五十年後，哈特利延伸了霍加特的理念，交出又一部鉅作。有別於一般的個案現象討論，哈特利的系統性分析，讓我們更明瞭網絡運作的社會、文化與經濟價值，清楚創意產業的創新模式、價值鍊及經濟體系，也同時捕捉到數位世代眾多文化現象的深層意涵。

“我们今天生活的方式中有某种根本性的谬误。”托尼·朱特在本书中揭示了我们如何陷入这种危险境地，指引我们直面社会弊病，并为所在的世界承担责任。朱特重新激活了我们的政治对话，使我们可以想象一种新的统治方式和更好的生活。
这部精练的作品凝结了托尼·朱特一生的思索，将他对历史和现在的洞悉嘱托给后世。
我们知道各种东西的价钱是多少，但对它们的价值几何却一无所知。我们不再质疑一项司法判决或立法行为：它善吗？公平吗？正确吗？它会带来一个更好的社会或更好的世界吗？这些问题曾经是根本的政治问题，尽管它们不能轻易回答。我们必须再次学习提出这些问题。
作为一个自由社会的公民，我们 有责任批判性地看待我们的世界。但是，如果我们认为我们知道错在哪里，那么，我们必须根据这个知识行动起来。众所周知，哲学家迄今为止只是以不同的方式解释世界。关键是改变世界。
——托尼·朱特

In this timely new book, a distinguished intellectual historian offers us cogent and persuasive responses to these urgent topical questions: What are the prospects for the European Union? If they are not wholly rosy, why is that? And, in any event, how much does it matter whether a united Europe does or does not come about, on whatever terms?

从程序员的视角，看计算机系统！
本书适用于那些想要写出更快、更可靠程序的程序员。通过掌握程序是如何映射到系统上，以及程序是如何执行的，读者能够更好的理解程序的行为为什么是这样的，以及效率低下是如何造成的。粗略来看，计算机系统包括处理器和存储器硬件、编译器、操作系统和网络互连环境。而通过程序员的视角，读者可以清晰地明白学习计算机系统的内部工作原理会对他们今后作为计算机科学研究者和工程师的工作有进一步的帮助。它还有助于为进一步学习计算机体系结构、操作系统、编译器和网络互连做好准备。
本书的主要论题包括：数据表示、C程序的机器级表示、处理器结构，程序优化、存储器层次结构、链接、异常控制流、虚拟存储器和存储器管理、系统级I/O、网络编程和并发编程。书中所覆盖的内容主要是这些方面是如何影响应用和系统程序员的。例如，在讲述数据表示时，本书说明了用来表示数字的表示方法是有限的，它能够近似地表示整数和实数，但是这种表示方法是有限制的，程序员必须了解。在讲述高速缓存时，本书讨论了矩阵代码中的循环变量的顺序是如何影响程序的性能的。在讨论网络互连时，本书描述了并发服务器如何能有效地处理来自多个客户端的请求。

Hilary Putnam's unceasing self-criticism has led to the frequent changes of mind he is famous for, but his thinking is also marked by considerable continuity. A simultaneous interest in science and ethics - unusual in the current climate of contention - has long characterized his thought. In "Philosophy in an Age of Science", Putnam collects his papers for publication - his first volume in almost two decades. Mario De Caro and David Macarthur's introduction identifies central themes to help the reader negotiate between Putnam past and Putnam present: his critique of logical positivism; his enduring aspiration to be realist about rational normativity; his anti-essentialism about a range of central philosophical notions; his reconciliation of the scientific worldview and the humanistic tradition; and his movement from reductive scientific naturalism to liberal naturalism. Putnam returns here to some of his first enthusiasms in philosophy, such as logic, mathematics, and quantum mechanics. The reader is given a glimpse, too, of ideas currently in development on the subject of perception. Putnam's work, contributing to a broad range of philosophical inquiry, has been said to represent a "history of recent philosophy in outline." Here it also delineates a possible future.

What is the relationship between our perceptions and reality? What is the relationship between the mind and the body? These are questions with which philosophers have grappled for centuries, and they are topics of considerable contemporary debate as well. Hilary Putnam has approached the divisions between perception and reality and between mind and body with great creativity throughout his career. Now, in The Threefold Cord: Mind, Body, and World, he expounds upon these issues, elucidating both the strengths and weaknesses of current schools of thought. With his characteristic wit and acuity, Putnam offers refreshing solutions to some of philosophy's most vexing problems. Putnam first examines the problem of realism: is objective truth possible? He acknowledges the deep impasse between empirical and idealist approaches to this question, critiquing them both, however, by highlighting the false assumption they share, that we cannot perceive the world directly. Drawing on the work of J. L. Austin and William James, Putnam develops a subtle and creative alternative, which he calls "natural realism." The second part of the book explores the mind-body question: is the mind independent of our interactions with the physical world? Again, Putnam critically assesses two sharply antithetical contemporary approaches and finds them both lacking. The Threefold Cord shows the entire mind-body debate to be miscast and draws on the later work of Wittgenstein, once more advancing original views on perception and thought and their relationship with both the body and the external world. Finally, Putnam takes up two related problems -- the role of causality in human behavior and whether or not thoughts and sensations have an "existence" all their own. With Putnam's lucid prose and insightful examples, The Threefold Cord loosens the Gordian knots into which philosophy has bound itself over the issue of epistemology.

Hilary Putnam deals in this book with some of the most fundamental persistent problems in philosophy: the nature of truth, knowledge and rationality. His aim is to break down the fixed categories of thought which have always appeared to define and constrain the permissible solutions to these problems.

Looking at the efforts of philosophers from the Enlightenment through the 20th Century, Hilary Putnam traces the ways in which ethical problems arise in a historical context. Putnam's central concern is ontology - indeed, the very idea of ontology as the division of philosophy concerned with what (ultimately) exists. Reviewing what he deems the disastrous consequences of ontology's influence on analytic philosophy - in particular, the contortions it imposes upon debates about the objective of ethical judgements - Putnam proposes abandoning the very idea of ontology. He argues persuasively that the attempt to provide an ontological explanation of the objectivity of either mathematics or ethics is, in fact, an attempt to provide justifications that are extraneous to mathematics and ethics - and is thus deeply misguided.

Hilary Putnam has been at the center of contemporary debates about the nature of the mind and of its access to the world, about language and its relation to reality, and many other metaphysical and epistemological issues. In this book he turns to pragmatism - and confronts the teachings of James, Peirce, Dewey, and Wittgenstein - not solely out of an interest in theoretical questions, but above all to respond to the questions of whether it is possible to find an alternative to corrosive moral skepticism, on the one hand, and to moral authoritarianism on the other.

Distinguished philosopher Hilary Putnam, who is also a practicing Jew, questions the thought of three major Jewish philosophers of the 20th century - Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, and Emmanuel Levinas - to help him reconcile the philosophical and religious sides of his life. An additional presence in the book is Ludwig Wittgenstein, who, although not a practicing Jew, thought about religion in ways that Putnam juxtaposes to the views of Rosenzweig, Buber, and Levinas. Putnam explains the leading ideas of each of these great thinkers, bringing out what, in his opinion, constitutes the decisive intellectual and spiritual contributions of each of them. Although the religion discussed is Judaism, the depth and originality of these philosophers, as incisively interpreted by Putnam, make their thought nothing less than a guide to life.

Hilary Putnam, who may have been the first philosopher to advance the notion that the computer is an apt model for the mind, takes a radically new view of his own theory of functionalism in this book. Putnam argues that in fact the computational analogy cannot answer the important questions about the nature of such mental states as belief, reasoning, rationality, and knowledge that lie at the heart of the philosophy of mind.Hilary Putnam is Walter Beverly Pearson Professor of Mathematical Logic at Harvard University.

我会将我不成熟的想法、笔记、内心争论、草稿以及对其他文章的回应都写在《技术元素》中，这样我就能知道自己到底在想些什么。——KK
“技术元素”（technium)是凯文•凯利专门创造出来的词语。“技术元素不仅仅包括一些具象的技术（例如汽车、雷达和计算机等），它还包括文化、 法律、社会机构和所有的智能创造物。”简而言之，技术元素就是从人的意识中涌现出来的一切。KK把这种科技的延伸面看成一个能产生自我动 力的整体。
本书继承了《失控》和《新经济的新规则》的思考体系，谈到了文明进化、数字出版、免费经济、人工智能、物联网、数字化生活等热议的话题。而更深层次的是，KK希望借此讨论：技术元素的本质是什么？人类应该拥抱还是拒绝它？人类对它本身的未来发展究竟有多少把握？KK把对这些疑惑的理解都写在了《技术元素》里。相比于KK之前的著作，本书将更通俗易懂，文章中涉及到的领域、所举的事例都更贴近当下人们的生活体验。而阅读这样一本书，将能最贴近地了解到KK在思考什么。

小说以一个美国小镇为中心，叙述了一对美国老年夫妇伊妮德和艾尔弗雷德在城郊的生活及三个孩子各自在准备回家团聚并面对各自生活中的“纠正”时的情景，但它要反映的并不仅仅是美国家庭，更是美国自身，美国的资本主义、物质主义、乐观主义、理想主义。小说从上世纪中叶的美国中西部一直写到今天的华尔街和东欧，时而滑稽，时而刻薄，时而令人辛酸，多侧面地描摹了美国文化，为人们打开了一扇探视美国人心灵的窗口。这部富于想象力的现实主义小说具有多种多样的感染力，其中到处洋溢着的快感，是一个摆脱了大师们束缚的作家的快感，是杰出小说所能带来的愉悦的深度和广度的明证。

From the National Book Award-winning author of The Corrections , a darkly comedic novel about family

Patty and Walter Berglund were the new pioneers of old St. Paulthe gentrifiers, the hands-on parents, the avant-garde of the Whole Foods generation. Patty was the ideal sort of neighbor, who could tell you where to recycle your batteries and how to get the local cops to actually do their job. She was an enviably perfect mother and the wife of Walter’s dreams. Together with Walterenvironmental lawyer, commuter cyclist, total family manshe was doing her small part to build a better world.
But now, in the new millennium, the Berglunds have become a mystery. Why has their teenage son moved in with the aggressively Republican family next door? Why has Walter taken a job working with Big Coal? What exactly is Richard Katzoutré rocker and Walter’s college best friend and rivalstill doing in the picture? Most of all, what has happened to Patty? Why has the bright star of Barrier Street become a very different kind of neighbor,” an implacable Fury coming unhinged before the street’s attentive eyes?
In his first novel since The Corrections , Jonathan Franzen has given us an epic of contemporary love and marriage. Freedom comically and tragically captures the temptations and burdens of liberty: the thrills of teenage lust, the shaken compromises of middle age, the wages of suburban sprawl, the heavy weight of empire. In charting the mistakes and joys of Freedom ’s intensely realized characters as they struggle to learn how to live in an ever more confusing world, Franzen has produced an indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time.

In this study, Don Ross explores the relationship of economics to other branches of behavioral science, asking, in the course of his analysis, under what interpretation economics is a sound empirical science. The book explores the relationships between economic theory and the theoretical foundations of related disciplines that are relevant to the day-to-day work of economics -- the cognitive and behavioral sciences. It asks whether the increasingly sophisticated techniques of microeconomic analysis have revealed any deep empirical regularities -- whether technical improvement represents improvement in any other sense. Casting Daniel Dennett and Kenneth Binmore as its intellectual heroes, the book proposes a comprehensive model of economic theory that, Ross argues, does not supplant but recovers the core neoclassical insights and counters the caricaturish conception of neoclassicism so derided by advocates of behavioral or evolutionary economics.Because he approaches his topic from the viewpoint of the philosophy of science, Ross devotes one chapter to the philosophical theory and terminology on which his argument depends and another to related philosophical issues. Two chapters provide the theoretical background in economics, one covering developments in neoclassical microeconomics and the other treating behavioral and experimental economics and evolutionary game theory. The three chapters at the heart of the argument then apply theses from the philosophy of cognitive science to foundational problems for economic theory. In these chapters economists will find a genuinely new way of thinking about the implications of cognitive science for economics and cognitive scientists will find in economic behavior a new testing site for the explanations of cognitive science.
