《海上花》曾被胡适先生称为“吴语文学的第一部杰作”。但因为它使用苏白，较之通俗的白话小说来讲有一定的局限性。但它的长处在于语言传神，描写的细致，同每一故事的自然地发展；续时耐人仔细玩味，读过之后令人感觉深刻的印象与悠然不尽的余韵。本书是《海上花》的注译本，由才女张爱玲将书中的吴语尽数译为白话文，以使这难得一见的杰作能够普及开来，让更多人有欣赏此书的机会。

在辽阔的亚洲大陆上，分布着东亚的中华文明、西亚文明、印度的梵文文明以及日本文明等，各种异质文明通过交通的纽带而建立联系，相互竞争并相互弥补，从而展开了亚洲史发展进程的宏大画卷，由此我们可以进一步认识全人类的真正历史。作者提出“西亚文明东流论”，并开辟了“亚洲史”这一全新的领域，着重考察各文明之间的交通联系，通过交通线的转移和变化，揭示文明兴衰与时代演进的历史大势。

本书选材新颖、内容丰富、视角独特、涉及的问题既深且广，堪称有前中国改革开放二十年来触及社会和人民心理深层变革的佳作。

If "bad..neighborhoods are truly bad for children and families, especially the minority poor, can moving to better neighborhoods lead them to better lives? Might these families escape poverty altogether, beyond having a better quality of life to help them cope with being poor? Federal policymakers and planners thought so, on both counts, and in 1994, they launched Moving to Opportunity. The $80 million social experiment enrolled nearly 5,000 very low-income, mostly black and Hispanic families, many of them on welfare, who were living in public housing in the inner-city neighborhoods of Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. Yet five years after they had entered the program, many of the families in the favored experimental..group had returned to high poverty neighborhoods. Young women showed big drops in risky behavior and big improvements in mental health, on average, while young male movers did not. The males even showed signs of increased delinquency if they had lived, at least for a time, in the low poverty areas. Parents likewise showed major drops in anxiety and depression-two of the crippling symptoms of being chronically poor in high-risk ghettos-but not in employment or income. And many movers appeared to be maintaining the same limited social circles-mostly disadvantaged relatives and close friends-despite living in more advantaged neighborhoods. The authors of this important and engaging new book wanted to know why. Moving to Opportunity tackles the great, unresolved question of how to overcome persistent ghetto poverty. It mines a unique demonstration program with a human voice, not just statistics and charts, rooted in the lives of those who "signed up..for MTO. It shines a light on the hopes, surprises, achievements and limitations of a major social experiment-and does so at a time of tremendous economic, social, and political change in our nation. As the authors make clear, for all its ambition, MTO is a uniquely American experiment, and this book brings home its lessons for policymakers and advocates, scholars, students, journalists, and all who share a deep concern for opportunity and inequality in our country.

A direct and fundamentally optimistic indictment of the short-sightedness and intellectual arrogance that has characterized much of urban planning in this century, The Death and Life of Great American Cities has, since its first publication in 1961, become the standard against which all endeavors in that field are measured. In prose of outstanding immediacy, Jane Jacobs writes about what makes streets safe or unsafe; about what constitutes a neighborhood, and what function it serves within the larger organism of the city; about why some neighborhoods remain impoverished while others regenerate themselves. She writes about the salutary role of funeral parlors and tenement windows, the dangers of too much development money and too little diversity. Compassionate, bracingly indignant, and always keenly detailed, Jane Jacobs's monumental work provides an essential framework for assessing the vitality of all cities.

这是一部反思现代性的力作。齐格蒙·鲍曼认为，大屠杀不只是犹太人历史上的一个悲惨事件，也并非德意志民族的一次反常行为，而是现代性本身的固有可能。正是现代性的本质要素，使得像大屠杀这样灭绝人性的惨剧成为设计者、执行者和受害者密切合作的社会集体行动。从极端的理性走向极端的不理性，从高度的文明走向高度的野蛮，看似悖谬，实则有着逻辑的必然。而拯救之途也许就在于：在任何情况下，个体都无条件地承担起他的道德责任。

香港邊境禁區位於新界北部，毗鄰中國深圳，範圍由沙頭角海伸展至后海灣，面積達2,800公頃。自1951年禁區設立以來，成為香港與中國大陸兩地間邊界的緩衝區域，並能防止非法入境及其他邊境罪案。近年來，港府提議縮減禁區範圍，將有超過20條村落被釋出禁區範圍。
因應禁區開放對深港關係的意義重大，且此區仍保留許多未受破壞的自然及生態環境、鄉村文化及歷史建築，故本書以明清時的新安縣發軔，敘述了該區在港英、日治及大陸文革等歷史階段裏，深港邊界在保安對抗、鄉村沿革、風俗民情、經濟教育、自然及人文景觀等方面的不同歷史面貎；並附有掌故軼聞，以村民作為主體去透析他們怎樣再創造文化特性，勾勒出香港邊境禁區六十多年的歷史脈絡。

江泽民同志在党的十四大前夕、十四大上以及十四大以后，根据马克思主义的基本原理和邓小平同志关于计划与市场关系的思想，根据世界经济发展的历史经验和时代前进的要求，不仅创造性地提出了建立社会主义市场经济体制的目标，而且全面地阐述了实行社会主义市场经济的基本原则以及建立和完善这种新的经济体制的总体规划、方针政策和方法步骤，其中有许多重要的新思想、新观点、新方略。本书就是帮助广大干部特别是领导干部学习江泽民同志关于社会主义市场经济的论述而编写。
全书收录了1992年6月至2002年11月期间江泽民同志论述社会主义市场经济的重要文稿79篇，其中全部文稿是第一次公开发表。

本書探討了回歸後香港政治的現狀，為研究香港問題提供了不同一般的分析視角。
全書分為三個部分.第一部分涉及中央與香港的特殊關係，着重探討兩個重要問題：中央對香港的政策該如何解讀？ 香港在逐漸崛起的中國的國際戰略中又扮演着怎樣的角色？
第二部分將視野轉向香港本土政治。其中論及本港和外界都十分關心的政黨政治、中產政治、主流民意的變化以及政策共識的剝落等問題。對回歸後一些難以厘清的“現象”之解讀，相信可以從這一部分得到很多啟示。
最後一部分從香港民主政治的參考意義切入,對港式民主的前途展開思考。如何讓特區的管治具有更廣泛的代表性？怎樣調和新舊政治勢力間的衝突和矛盾？ 能否在“一國兩制”的框架下賦予香港政治更旺盛的生命力，同時讓社會民生獲得良性的發展空間？作者分享了資深政治學人的洞見。

Today we judge the value of every idea, institution and individual by one test: is it popular? Or, more practically, do the majority of those polled like it? This transformation has affected not just politics, but also law, business, culture and even religion. Every institution and profession in society must democratize or die. Democracy has gone from being a form of government to a way of life. Like any broad transformation, however, the trends that democracy unleashes are not uniformly benign. Democracy has its dark sides, yet to question it has been to provoke instant criticism that you are "out of sync" with the times. No more. Zakaria uses his command of history, philosophy and current affairs to reinterpret our past and outline our future. Woodrow Wilson said that the challenge of the 20th century was to make the world safe for democracy - this book challenges us to make democracy safe for the world.

“In this book, Professor Dahl carries forward his logico-empirical studies of the conditions under which political systems change or are transformed from one type to another. . . . The focus here is upon the conditions under which systems he designates as closed hegemonies, inclusive hegemonies, or competitive oligarchies are likely to develop into polyarchies, or intermediate variations thereof… To this reviewer, the present book enhances Professor Dahl’s status as political diagnostician and analyst. It exemplifies beautifully the function of theory in disentangling the elements of a problem and understanding the relations between them, as distinct from constructing general, logically consistent theories that do not explain variations and deviant cases in the real world, or devising ‘practical’ solutions without knowing whether or why they work. Dahl uses concepts to reveal and enlighten us as to hidden relationships in the data.” —Avery Leiserson, The Annals
"Dahl extends his inquiry inot pluralistic social orders to the conditions favorable for a competitive political regime, or polyarchy. . . . This is good Dahl, it is both political theory and comparative government, and the appendices add valuable data . . . . It belongs in every library collection, and it might have use as a supplementary text."—Choice
"A tightly woven explanation of the conditions under which cultures that do not tolerate political opposition may be transformed into societies that do. The author is at his empirical best in reaching his conclusions."—Foreign Affairs
"His purpose is primarily analytical rather than presciptive, and his analysis is lucid, perceptive, and thorough."—Times Literary Supplement

《论辩与思考(新版)》应当是十年来最具重要意义的社会心理学作品之一。这部作品别具-格，从论辩角度构建人性模型，广为搜罗诸多未受学界重视的材料。《论辩与思考(新版)》将成为我个人藏书中的一部经典之作。迈克尔·毕利希的修辞研究思路曾经是社会科学中的话语转向的关键环节。他的书睿智风趣，创见迭出，考察了人类行为中的论辩及其在心理学意义上的重要性，并回溯了古代修辞学观念与现代社会心理学之间的关联。它也为当代的社会心理学议题提供了一种新颖的思路。
