《物理学基础》(原书第6版)(精装)适合高等院校学生使用，也是广大教师（包括中学教材）、物理科研人员和物理爱好者十分有价值的参考书。
大卫·哈里德（David Halliday），罗伯特·瑞斯尼克（Robert Resnick）和杰尔·沃克（Jearl Walker）的《物理学基础》长期以来一直是一部在国际物理界具有很大影响和相当高权威性、并受到广泛好评的经典物理教材，同时它又以独特的易学性和生动性以及与当代最新科技的紧密联系，成为世界教材市场上经久不衰、最受欢迎和最畅销的大学物理教材。

这是一本破天荒的书，著名物理学家斯莫林在书中指出作为所有其他科学的基础的物理学迷失了方向。为什么物理学突然陷入了困境？我们能为它做些什么？
在斯莫林看来，一个主要问题出在弦理论：一个野心勃勃的“万物之理”的蓝图。想要解释自然的所有粒子和力，解释宇宙的起源和演化。弦理论凭它新奇的新粒子和平行宇宙抓住了公众的想象力，也赢得了很多物理学家的心。但这是理论的陷阱：弦理论没有一点曾被证实，也没人知道如何去证实它。实际上，理论出现了无限多个形式，意味着没有实验能否定它。作为一个科学理论，它失败了。但是因为它吸引了大量的资源，招揽了最优秀的头脑，严重伤害了在其他路线上追求的年轻物理学家，所以它也拖累了其他物理学的前进步伐。

艺术阐释视觉的世界，物理学描述其不可见的作品，这种区别使得两个领域看上去似乎完全是对立的。但在《艺术与物理学》一书中，史莱因通过历史面面俱到地追溯了艺术与物理学的背景，提示了在各种想象力中惊人的相关性。
从古希腊的雕塑家到瓦霍耳和姜斯，从亚里士多德到爱因斯坦，艺术家们预见到了科学家们的发现，例如莫奈和塞尚就由直觉知道了将由爱因斯坦在物理学中引发的剧变。在其生动多彩的叙述中，史莱因探索了在整个历史中如此众多的场合，艺术的突破怎样地预示了物理学家们富于想象的洞见。
《艺术与物理学》一书既令人激动，又富于创新，是艺术的浪漫与科学的剧作之天衣无缝的结合，是一部令人愉悦的思想史。

Since his pioneering Since his pioneering application of economic analysis to racial discrimination, Gary S. Becker has shown that an economic approach can provide a unified framework for understanding all human behavior. In a highly readable selection of essays Becker applies this approach to various aspects of human activity, including social interactions; crime and punishment; marriage, fertility, and the family; and "irrational" behavior.

Millions have seen the movie and thousands have read the book but few have fully appreciated the mathematics developed by John Nash's beautiful mind. Today Nash's beautiful math has become a universal language for research in the social sciences and has infiltrated the realms of evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and even quantum physics. John Nash won the 1994 Nobel Prize in economics for pioneering research published in the 1950s on a new branch of mathematics known as game theory. At the time of Nash's early work, game theory was briefly popular among some mathematicians and Cold War analysts. But it remained obscure until the 1970s when evolutionary biologists began applying it to their work. In the 1980s economists began to embrace game theory. Since then it has found an ever expanding repertoire of applications among a wide range of scientific disciplines. Today neuroscientists peer into game players' brains, anthropologists play games with people from primitive cultures, biologists use games to explain the evolution of human language, and mathematicians exploit games to better understand social networks. A common thread connecting much of this research is its relevance to the ancient quest for a science of human social behavior, or "a Code of Nature," in the spirit of the fictional science of psychohistory described in the famous Foundation novels by the late Isaac Asimov. In A Beautiful Math, acclaimed science writer Tom Siegfried describes how game theory links the life sciences, social sciences, and physical sciences in a way that may bring Asimov's dream closer to reality.

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.

These provocative essays take a modern look at the 17th-century thinker's dream, examining the influences of mathematics on society, particularly in light of technological advances. They survey the conditions that elicit the application of mathematic principles; the applications' effectiveness; and how applied mathematics transform perceptions of reality. 1987 edition.

For a century and a half the artists and intellectuals of Europe have scorned the bourgeoisie. And for a millennium and a half the philosophers and theologians of Europe have scorned the marketplace. The bourgeois life, capitalism, Mencken's "booboisie," and David Brooks' "bobos" all have been, and still are, framed as responsible for everything from financial and moral poverty to world wars and spiritual desuetude. Countering these centuries of assumptions and unexamined thinking is Deirdre N. McCloskey's "The Bourgeois Virtues", a magnum opus offering a radical view: capitalism is good for us. McCloskey's sweeping, charming, and even humorous survey of ethical thought and economic realities - from Plato to Barbara Ehrenreich - overturns every assumption we have about being bourgeois. Can you be virtuous and bourgeois? Do markets improve ethics? Has capitalism made us better as well as richer? Yes, yes, and yes, argues McCloskey, who takes on centuries of capitalism's critics with astonishing erudition and range of reference. Applying a new tradition of "virtue ethics" to our lives in modern economies, she affirms American capitalism without ignoring its faults and celebrates the bourgeois lives we actually live, without supposing that they must be lives without ethical foundations. High Noon, Kant, Bill Murray, the modern novel, Van Gogh, and, of course, economics and the economy all come into play in a book that can only be described as a monumental project and a life's work. "The Bourgeois Virtues" is nothing less than a dazzling reinterpretation of Western intellectual history, a dead-serious reply to the critics of capitalism - and surprising entertainment as well.

Is economics a science? Deidre McCloskey says 'Yes, but'. Yes, economics measures and predicts, but - like other sciences - it uses literary methods too. Economists use stories as geologists do, and metaphors as physicists do. The result is that the sciences, economics among them, must be read as 'rhetoric', in the sense of writing with intent. McCloskey's books, The Rhetoric of Economics(1985) and If You're So Smart(1990), have been widely discussed. In Knowledge and Persuasion in Economics he converses with his critics, suggesting that they too can gain from knowing their rhetoric. The humanistic and mathematical approaches to economics, says McCloskey, fit together in a new 'interpretive' economics. Along the way he places economics within the sciences, examines the role of mathematics in the field, replies to critics from the left, right and centre, and shows how economics can again take a leading place in the conversation of humankind.

In this witty, accessible, and revealing book, Deirdre McCloskey demystifies economic theory and practice to show that behind the economists claim to certainty is the ancient art of storytelling. If You're So Smart will engage, enlighten, and empower anyone trying to evaluate the experts who stand ready to engineer our lives.
"Writing with delicious wit and great seriousness."—Publishers Weekly. "
"McCloskey is more interesting on an uninspired day than most of her peers can manage at their very best."—Peter Passell, New York Times

Deirdre McCloskey's work in economics always calls into question its reputation as "the dismal science." She writes with passion and an unusually wide scope, drawing on literature and intellectual history in exciting, if unorthodox, ways. In this pamphlet, McCloskey reveals what she sees as the secret sins of economics that no one will discuss—two sins that "cripple" economics as a "scientific enterprise."

Deirdre N. McCloskey teaches economics and history at the University of Iowa and is the Tinbergen Distinguished Professor at Erasmus University of Rotterdam. Author of a dozen books in economics and history, she was formerly known as Donald. Her experience in changing gender is reflected in the new edition, but the message remains the same: economics needs to get serious about its rhetoric, and back to science. *Completely revised*Three new chapters, two new bibliographies*Publishing history: University of Wisconsin Press, 1985

《经济学的花言巧语》通过对经济学文本进行修辞分析，告诉我们经济学是科学，但也是文学。经济学家们宣称他们严格以事实和逻辑为基础，但是在经济学家的工具箱里，不仅有事实和逻辑，也有隐喻和故事，它们都是用于说服他人的手段。与其他学科一样，经济学家的工作也主要是说服，也是人们进行人文对话的一个领域。与其他领域一样，为了说服和对话，他们运用更多的文学性的修辞手段。
众多修辞手段是经济学家们取得成
