卡尔维诺 “我们的祖先”三部曲之一。“我们的祖先”三部曲包括：《不存在的骑士》《分成两半的子爵》《树上的男爵》，这三个故事代表通向自由的三个阶段，关于人如何实现自我的经验：在《不存在的骑士》中争取生存，在《分成两半的子爵》中追求不受社会摧残的完整人生，在《树上的男爵》中有一条通向完整的道路——这是通过对个人的自我抉择矢志不移的努力而达到的非个人主义的完整。作为“开放性”小说，这三个故事首先遵循人物的发展逻辑，并且在从读者中引发的、未曾预料的提问与回答过程中将开始它们新的生命。它们是现代人的祖先家系图，在其中的每一张脸上有我们身边人们的某些特征：它既是作者的，也同样是读者的。

For more than a quarter century, Cotton and Wilkinson's Advanced Inorganic Chemistry has been the source that students and professional chemists have turned to for the background needed to understand current research literature in inorganic chemistry and aspects of organometallic chemistry. Like its predecessors, this updated Sixth Edition is organized around the periodic table of elements and provides a systematic treatment of the chemistry of all chemical elements and their compounds. It incorporates important recent developments with an emphasis on advances in the interpretation of structure, bonding, and reactivity.
From the reviews of the Fifth Edition:
* "The first place to go when seeking general information about the chemistry of a particular element, especially when up-to-date, authoritative information is desired." -Journal of the American Chemical Society.
* "Every student with a serious interest in inorganic chemistry should have [this book]." -Journal of Chemical Education.
* "A mine of information . . . an invaluable guide." -Nature.
* "The standard by which all other inorganic chemistry books are judged."-Nouveau Journal de Chimie.
* "A masterly overview of the chemistry of the elements."-The Times of London Higher Education Supplement.
* "A bonanza of information on important results and developments which could otherwise easily be overlooked in the general deluge of publications." -Angewandte Chemie.

Arthur Conan Doyle's enduringly popular Sherlock Holmes has his own undeniable place in the public eye. Holmes is often seen applying concepts of some branch of science in his work, discussing scientific matters with Watson, or is involved in situations where the applicability of the formal sciences is apparent. The Scientific Sherlock Holmes connects Holmes' vegetable poisons with concepts in botany, his use of fingerprinting with forensic science, and carbon monoxide poisoning and hemoglobin tests with concepts in chemistry, thus integrating the Holmes stories with all branches of science.

Jane Austen’s first novel, Northanger Abbey —published posthumously in 1818—tells the story of Catherine Morland and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. Though Austen’s fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature. The satirical Northanger Abbey pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex.
This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the first edition of 1818.
