Working Hard, Working Poor 豆瓣
作者:
Gary S Fields
Oxford University Press
2011
More than three billion people, nearly half of humankind, live on less than two-and-a-half U.S. dollars per person per day. Studies have shown repeatedly that the main and often the sole asset of the poor is their labor. It follows that to understand global poverty one must understand labor markets and labor earnings in the developing world. Excellent books exist on ending world poverty that discuss in depth many important aspects of economic development but do not focus on employment and self-employment, work and non-work. Working Hard, Working Poor fills in where the other books leave off. Issues of analyzing poverty and low earnings in the developing world are quite different from those in the developed world. The discourse in the developed world is about incentive effects of social welfare programs, cultures of poverty, single-parenthood, homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, ill health, mental illness, domestic violence, and the like. But in the developing world, different issues predominate, such as own-account work and household enterprises, agricultural work, casual employment, and informal work. And some of the policy issues--stimulating economic growth, harnessing the energies of the private sector, increasing paid employment, and raising the returns to self-employment--take a different twist. This book shows how people in poverty work, what has been effective in helping the poor earn their way out of poverty, and how readers might help.

PROCESS NOTE
I stripped Shakespeare's sonnets bare to the "nets" to make the space of the poems open, porous, possible—a divergent elsewhere. When we write poems, the history of poetry is with us, pre-inscribed in the white of the page; when we read or write poems, we do it with or against this palimpsest.

《斯通纳》讲述了生命中最重要的部分:爱,认同,怜悯,志业,傲骨,信任与死亡。
一个勇者有过的失败不失意的人生:即使不能拥有完美的生活,所幸追求过完整的自我。
美国,密苏里州。来自偏远农场的农家子弟、19岁的威廉·斯通纳进入州立密苏里大学学习农学。自一堂选修文学课为起点, 他的一生就此悄然改变。未来的斯通纳成为了一名大学老师,结婚、生子、教学、退休、衰老、死亡。在他生命的尽头,或许他可以坦然面对这个问题:你的一生,还要期望别的什么吗?
一部蕴含着真诚、激情与紧凑力量的小说,探究了历史洪流所忽视的人性之间的冲突、溃败与幸存,重新唤起思考每个个体独特存在的意义。作者约翰·威廉斯向世人展示了凡人中的勇者在如何生活。
----------------------------------------
◆威廉斯的写作就像被打磨光滑的橡木上反射出本色、持久的光泽。这本书的伟大之处在于,它以不带一丝一毫悲喜的冷静洞察了生活本质的全部。《斯通纳》迟到五十年后畅销,是献给被亏欠的艺术一次迟来的正名。 ——《纽约客》
◆斯通纳活过,然后死去,如你我一样。他生活中发生的每一件事就发生在你我面前,看似平淡。然而,写出这种“简单”却需要天才才能完成。读这本书是一本令人难过却又美妙的阅读体验。 ——《星期日泰晤士报》
◆约翰·威廉斯的《斯通纳》刻画了一个将追求智识当作对抗无意义的战争、拒绝与外部世界作廉价妥协的人的一生。它的意义或许不只是一部伟大的小说——它简直是一部几近完美的小说,机构精巧,语言优美,故事动人,展示着一种夺人心魄的完美。 ——《纽约时报》
◆一件文学的珍宝。 ——《明镜周刊》
◆拥有超乎寻常的力量……直击生活的真相,语言清澈优美。它是一部献给所有热爱文学之人的传奇。 ——伊恩·麦克尤恩
◆一本精彩绝伦的小说,既丰富又忧郁,记录着伤痛与失去的同时也留存了美好温柔的时刻。这本小说完美展现了小说艺术的要素,它的叙事节奏与情节构架均堪称完美无缺。这本小说像一条河流,冷静而又流畅的平静笔调裹挟着磅礴延绵的力量。 ——亚当·福尔兹

故乡,是一盏照在身上的灯
不管走出多远,都一直亮着
故乡是一种基因, 离它越远,反而会越鲜明 地展 现出它的样子。沈书枝写故乡的风物、人情,用笔绵密平静,而又生动真实。江南的草木、花朵、食物、亲人、邻里,在她笔下,如被春日阳光照亮,一一醒来。
真正的爱是完全接受一个人、一个地方如实的样子,而不夸张、不隐讳。沈书枝笔下的故乡,正是如此。故乡的可爱与荒凉,生活的乐趣与艰辛,在一支安静而克制的笔下,愈发跃然纸上,动人心弦。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
我很羡慕书枝,她的乡村生活背景,给了她鲜活的一手经验。她笔下的小园菜蔬四季风物都那么接地气,她的文章是活水养出的活鱼,悠游荡开,就像她写的植物,带着未干的春水的气息,润泽着我们在高速运转的现代生活碾压之下枯涸的内心。
——黎戈
沈汪风流,知堂情趣,尽在其中。
——苏枕书
书枝对她所经历的乡村生活的详实、精准再现,有时让我联想起田野工作方法中的“参与式观察”。不同的是,那个怀抱深厚乡情的“我”本身,也以“被观察者”的面貌,连同其所处的场景一同真实呈现出来,达到“有情”与“跳脱”的平衡,这是我私心觉得书枝最令人爱重的地方。

与孩子的天性合作 豆瓣
作者:
[德国] 卢安克
广东教育出版社
2003
如果你喜欢看故事,那么卢安克独特又传奇的经历足够让你佩服:在偏僻的广西农村居住、教书、做农活、放牛……不过卢安克的说法是:“其实我很自私,因为我是为了自己的兴趣选择最适合的环境,我有条件选择这样的生活,我的钱在农村生活足够我用。别人做不到是因为他们必须为了生活保障而工作。”但是,卢安克说:“我不能理解的是,为什么有的人一方面说佩服我,把我神化;一方面却又对我说‘你应该结婚、挣钱’,要求我像他们一样呢?这不是很矛盾吗?”
如果你是一位家长,这本书里介绍的华德福教育,一种与孩子的天性合作的教育,值得你好好地思考是否适合你的孩子。它除了智力的教育外,还强调人的躯体、感情、意志和精神都进入教育体系。它要求基础教育让艺术、体育和高级手工进入和支持理论课;它不提倡学生用课本而是要求自己写自己的课本。用联合国教科文组织主任Federico Mayor的话说就是:“把每一个儿童当作独立的个人来看待,在相互依赖中建立关系并且允许孩子们去发现、发挥,并正确地加强孩子们的能力和潜能。”这种教育,将使你的孩子身、心、意三方面都得到培育,使他们成为毅力、感情与思想三重健全的人才。
如果你是一位家长,如果你是一名教育工作者,那么,你必须细心耐心地去读完这本书。

快来围观最全面、最真实、最风趣可爱的加博吧!《番石榴飘香》是另一位哥伦比亚作家P.A.门多萨和加西亚•马尔克斯的谈话录,内容涉及马尔克斯人生的各个方面,穿插着门多萨介绍谈话背景的优美散文,被读者誉为“打开马尔克斯世界的钥匙”。《番石榴飘香》可说是最有名、流传最广的马尔克斯访谈录,书中的许多句子后来都成了读者心目中马尔克斯的标志性言论。
莫言、余华等几乎所有一线作家,在谈到自己的文学创作历程时,都会提到这本书。强调一下,《番石榴飘香》并不是一本端庄范的书,正如亲爱的老马并不是一个端庄范的作家,本书的有些篇章,老马的自我爆料简直让人目瞪口呆。

Misbehaving 豆瓣
作者:
Richard H. Thaler

2015
- 5
Get ready to change the way you think about economics.
Richard H. Thaler has spent his career studying the radical notion that the central agents in the economy are humans—predictable, error-prone individuals. Misbehaving is his arresting, frequently hilarious account of the struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth—and change the way we think about economics, ourselves, and our world.
Traditional economics assumes rational actors. Early in his research, Thaler realized these Spock-like automatons were nothing like real people. Whether buying a clock radio, selling basketball tickets, or applying for a mortgage, we all succumb to biases and make decisions that deviate from the standards of rationality assumed by economists. In other words, we misbehave. More importantly, our misbehavior has serious consequences. Dismissed at first by economists as an amusing sideshow, the study of human miscalculations and their effects on markets now drives efforts to make better decisions in our lives, our businesses, and our governments.
Coupling recent discoveries in human psychology with a practical understanding of incentives and market behavior, Thaler enlightens readers about how to make smarter decisions in an increasingly mystifying world. He reveals how behavioral economic analysis opens up new ways to look at everything from household finance to assigning faculty offices in a new building, to TV game shows, the NFL draft, and businesses like Uber.
Laced with antic stories of Thaler’s spirited battles with the bastions of traditional economic thinking, Misbehaving is a singular look into profound human foibles. When economics meets psychology, the implications for individuals, managers, and policy makers are both profound and entertaining.
