《高观点下的初等数学》(全3册)是克莱因根据自己在哥廷根大学多年为德国中学数学教师及在校学生开设的讲座所撰写的基础数学普及读物。该书反映了他对数学的许多观点，向人们生动地展示了一流大师的遗风，出版后被译成多种文字，是一部数学教育的不朽杰作，影响至今不衰。《高观点下的初等数学》共分3卷。第一卷：算术，代数、分析；第二卷：几何；第三卷：精确数学与近似数学。菲利克斯·克莱因是19世纪末20世纪初世界最有影响力的数学学派——哥廷根学派的创始人，他不仅是伟大的数学家，也是现代国际数学教育的奠基人、杰出的数学史家和数学教育家，在数学界享有崇高的声誉和巨大的影响。克莱因认为函数为数学的”灵魂”。应该成为中学数学的“基石”，应该把算术、代数和几何方面的内容，通过几何的形式用以函数为中心的观念综合起来；强调要用近代数学的观点来改造传统的中学数学内容，主张加强函数和微积分的教学，改革和充实代数的内容，倡导”高观点下的初等数学”意识。在克莱因看来，一个数学教师的职责是：”应使学生了解数学并不是孤立的各门学问，而是一个有机的整体”； 基础数学的教师应该站在更高的视角(高等数学)来审视。理解初等数学问题，只有观点高了，事物才能显得明了而简单；一个称职的教师应当掌握或了解数学的各种概念、方法及其发展与完善的过程以及数学教育演化的经过。他认为”有关的每一个分支，原则上应看做是数学整体的代表”，“有许多初等数学的现象只有在非初等的理论结构内才能深刻地理解”。

本书是当代国际最著名的统计学家之一C.R.劳的一部统计学哲理论著，也是他毕生统计学术思想的总结，同时还是一本通俗的关于统计学原理的普及教科书。在本书中，作者从哲学的角度论述了统计学原理，通过实例，不仅证明了统计学是一门最严格、最合理的认识论和方法学 ，还深刻地揭示了现代统计学发展的过程，特别是那些很深刻的理论是如何从一些非常简单实际的问题中发展起来的。
本书前5章讲述了统计学从最初收集、汇编数据为行政管理服务，发展成为有一整套原理和研究方法的独立学科的历史，第6章谈及了普通公众对统计学的理解，强调了从数字中学习有助于成为有效率的公民。
最引人注目的特点是，书中提到的所有科学的学科调查与决策和统计之间的关联，是由一系列实例来说明的。本书使用非专业语言通俗地阐述了统计学的基本概念和方法，适合大众读者。

The best-selling introduction to statistics for students in the behavioral and social sciences, this text continues to offer straightforward instruction, accuracy, built-in learning aids, and real-world examples. The goal of STATISTICS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES, 9th Edition is to not only teach the methods of statistics, but also to convey the basic principles of objectivity and logic that are essential for science and valuable in everyday life. Authors Frederick Gravetter and Larry Wallnau help students understand statistical procedures through a conceptual context that explains why the procedures were developed and when they should be used. Students have numerous opportunities to practice statistical techniques through learning checks, examples, step-by-step demonstrations, and problems.

Renowned for its clear prose and no-nonsense emphasis on core concepts, Statistics covers fundamentals using real examples to illustrate the techniques. The Fourth Edition has been carefully revised and updated to reflect current data.

This book builds theoretical statistics from the first principles of probability theory. Starting from the basics of probability, the authors develop the theory of statistical inference using techniques, definitions, and concepts that are statistical and are natural extensions and consequences of previous concepts. Intended for first-year graduate students, this book can be used for students majoring in statistics who have a solid mathematics background. It can also be used in a way that stresses the more practical uses of statistical theory, being more concerned with understanding basic statistical concepts and deriving reasonable statistical procedures for a variety of situations, and less concerned with formal optimality investigations.

谷川俊太郎（Shuntaro Tanikawa,1931-）是日本当代著名诗人、剧作家、翻译家。毕业于东京都立丰多摩高校。父亲谷川彻三是日本当代著名哲学家和文艺理论家。十七岁（1952年6年）出版了处女诗集《三十亿光年的孤独》，之后相继出版了《62首十四行诗》等七十余部诗集。
“生命”、“生活”和“人性”是谷川俊太郎抒写的主题。他的诗作，语言简炼、干净、纯粹，尤其是近年的禅意与空灵，透出一种感性的东方智慧。在战后崛起的日本当代诗人当中独树一帜，被誉为日本现代诗歌旗手。这本诗集除了从谷川俊太郎出版的数十部诗集中选译了部分作品外。还完整地翻译了谷川俊太郎的两部诗集，一部是《定义》另一部是《minimal》。

Christine Korsgaard has become one of the leading interpreters of Kant's moral philosophy. She is identified with a small group of philosophers who are intent on producing a version of Kant's moral philosophy that is at once sensitive to its historical roots while revealing its particular relevance to contemporary problems. She rejects the traditional picture of Kant's ethics as a cold vision of the moral life which emphasises duty at the expense of love and value. Rather, Kant's work is seen as providing a resource for addressing not only the metaphysics of morals, but also for tackling practical questions about personal relations, politics, and everyday human interaction. This collection contains some of the finest current work on Kant's ethics and will command the attention of all those involved in teaching and studying moral theory.

《瓦尔登湖》（WALDEN）是美国超验主义作家亨利戴维·梭罗（Henry David Thoreau，生于1817年，卒于1862年）的名著。他于1845年的春天，在老家康科德城的瓦尔登湖边建造了一座木屋，过着自耕自食的生活，并在那里写下了著名的《瓦尔登湖》一书，记录他的观察、思维、理想和信念。

这是世界文学名著文库。有人说过，不提到歌德，就写不成一部世界文学史，同时，不读《浮士德》，也就难以理解歌德所以是歌德。这位德国大文豪，连同他的这部杰作，在德国文化传统中早被认为是“无可比拟的。”

柏拉图代表哲学智慧，鸭嘴兽代表风趣幽默，两者同根同源，天生一对!这是一堂人人都希望学校里开设的哲学入门课。本书用一个个笑到喷饭的哲学段子，向我们解释了历史上的伟大哲学家、哲学流派和思想传统——从不可知论聊到禅学，再从解释学、逻辑学讨论到永恒。本书将向你展示：如何通过笑话阐释哲学概念，以及有多少笑话本身就蕴含着精辟的哲理。最后，作者们想要表达：不仅是哲学，生活中的一切都是这么简单、轻松、有意义！

本书是一本人生哲学普及读物。作者讲述自己退休后带着一箱哲学书去希腊伊兹拉岛的旅行过程。在旅途中，作者从不同的哲学流派，思考了老年的意义和整个人生的目的。以及描述了希腊小岛的风土人情和当地人为何如此乐观从容的原因。从伊壁鸠鲁、斯多亚派谈到形而上学、伦理学，作者认为人生应当像古希腊哲学家所说，乐观积极，充满友谊。作者鼓励我们认真运用哲学思考人生的意义。

《象与骑象人》作者乔纳森•海特是著名心理学家，坦普尔顿积极心理学奖获得者,伟大的思想家、积极心理学先锋派领袖。
乔纳森•海特在《象与骑象人》中把人类思考了两千多年的问题，归结为10个假设，放在科学的天平上，到底哪些是真理，哪些是谬误？海特提出，人的心理可分为两半，一半像一头桀骜不驯的大象，另一半则是理性的骑象人。这两个分裂的部分，使得人们常常陷于理性与非理性的思想争战之中，而这种争战不仅会影响我们的决策，也会削弱我们的幸福感。乔纳森•海特融合了心理学、哲学、伦理学、宗教以及人类学等学科知识，大量饮用了古今东西方哲学、文学与宗教中有关人的心理的看法，继而以现今神经科学与社会心理学的研究成果，来验证关于古老的关于幸福的假设。
乔纳森•海特不仅让我们了解到，之前很多的所谓的“古老智慧”并不是真谛，而且还让我们懂得，如何积极地、理性地去寻找幸福和生命的意义。
★ 著名心理学家乔纳森•海特智慧之作。《象与骑象人》作者乔纳森•海特,是美国著名心理学家，在积极心理学领域和道德心理学领域颇有成就。

The Sound Steps to Reading Storybook contains the full text of the story fragment that begins each lesson. These stories should be read by the parent or teacher later on the same day after the lesson has been completed. Each story features the target sound (phoneme) for that lesson. The stories are humorous and written in rhyme. Trials in the U.S. and the U.K showed that children love them. Many children can begin reading these stories on their own (with a little help) about midway through the program. This is highly motivating. By the end of the program all children can read these stories with ease. The stories will work well with any synthetic phonics program that teaches the spelling alternatives for the sounds in English. Here is a story sample. Can you discover what sound is featured in this story? Find all the spellings for this sound. Mole, as you see by the title, does not know how to spell 'business.'] Sample text from "Mole's Home Biznis" Mole poked his nose out of his hole He reached for his Daily Globe that was stuck in the snow. "Well, well. It's cold, it's cold. I'd better go down below." As mole went into his underground burrow his face had a frown, his forehead a furrow. He was, as usual, alone at home. Mole mumbled, "Home alone. Home alone." Mole had a habit of saying things over, and over, and over. He sighed, "Life is too dull. Life is too slow for such a talented fellow. I need a goal. I need a goal. I can't always be home alone in my hole." He sat down with his cocoa and toast to read the Globe and open his post. As he unfolded the paper, he saw this: "Start your Own HomeBusiness" (the story continues ---)

This skillfully crafted work...combines acute theoretical insight, deep understanding of a wide variety of typologically different languages, and impressive lucidity. It is a wonderful and valuable achievement."--Noam Chomsky. Whether all human languages are fundamentally the same or different has been a subject of debate for ages. This problem has deep philosophical implications: If languages are all the same, it implies a fundamental commonality--and thus mutual intelligibility--of human thought. We are now on the verge of solving this problem. Using a twenty-year-old theory proposed by the world's greatest living linguist, Noam Chomsky, researchers have found that the similarities among languages are more profound than the differences. Languages whose grammars seem completely incompatible may in fact be structurally almost identical, except for a difference in one simple rule. The discovery of these rules and how they may vary promises to yield a linguistic equivalent of the Periodic Table of the Elements: a single framework by which we can understand the fundamental structure of all human language. This is a landmark breakthrough both within linguistics, which will herewith finally become a full-fledged science, and in our understanding of the human mind.

In America today, 43 percent of our children fall below grade level in reading. In her meticulously researched and groundbreaking work, Diane McGuinness faults outmoded reading systems for this crisis -- and provides the answers we need to give our children the reading skills they need. Drawing on twenty-five years of cutting-edge research, Dr. McGuinness presents bold new "phoneme awareness" programs that overcome the tremendous shortcomings of other systems by focusing on the crucial need to understand and hear reliably the sounds of a language before learning to read. Maintaining that any child can be taught to read fluently if given proper instruction, she dramatically reveals how dyslexia and behavior problems such as ADD stem not from neurological disorders but from flawed methods of reading instruction. With invaluable information on remedial reading programs that can correct various ineffective reading strategies, this book is a must for concerned parents, teachers, and others who want to make a difference.

本书融汇了心理学、神经科学、生物学、哲学以及生物进化论的相关研究成果，在评价乔姆斯基关于普遍语法的种种观点之余，提出了语言处理的平行构架观作为大脑存储和处理语言的基本理论框架，并重点讨论了语义研究的相关问题。

Although researchers have long been aware that the species-typical architecture of the human mind is the product of our evolutionary history, it has only been in the last three decades that advances in such fields as evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, and paleoanthropology have made the fact of our evolution illuminating.

Converging findings from a variety of disciplines are leading to the emergence of a fundamentally new view of the human mind, and with it a new framework for the behavioral and social sciences.

First, with the advent of the cognitive revolution, human nature can finally be defined precisely as the set of universal, species-typical information-processing programs that operate beneath the surface of expressed cultural variability.
Second, this collection of cognitive programs evolved in the Pleistocene to solve the adaptive problems regularly faced by our hunter-gatherer ancestors--problems such as mate selection, language acquisition, cooperation, and sexual infidelity.
Consequently, the traditional view of the mind as a general-purpose computer, tabula rasa, or passive recipient of culture is being replaced by the view that the mind resembles an intricate network of functionally specialized computers, each of which imposes contentful structure on human mental organization and culture.

The Adapted Mind explores this new approach--evolutionary psychology--and its implications for a new view of culture.
