Musicien allemand, Jean-Christophe Krafft incarne l'espoir d'une humanité réconciliée en montrant notamment la complémentarité entre l'Allemagne et la France. Le parcours personnel de ce héros romantique est la quête d'une sagesse visant à l'harmonie avec le rythme de la vie universelle. Prix Femina 1905.

1937至1945年，中国共产党经历了「奇迹般的发展道路」：由刚刚结束长征、在夹缝中求取生存的贫弱力量，迅速成长为中国最重要的政治势力之一。不唯如此，这一时期由特定历史现实所锻造的党的特性，在战后相当长的时间内，仍持续对这个政党、乃至中国的历史和现实产生深刻的影响。
本书将对抗战时期党组织的分析和对党员个体的观察结合起来，为中共政治文化的形成和革命体系的缔造提供了「最详密的近距离特写」和「具有突破性的总体理解」，展示干部规训、政策执行、生存和抵抗等系统的运作与演进，如何为中国共产党带来前所未有的控制力和凝聚力，将之打造成一支「钢铁般的政治力量」。

誰的歷史？誰能想像？誰可書寫？
　　地廣人稀、物產豐富，爭相移居之地
　　為我們揭開海外華人在南洋的真實面目

歐洲人稱之為東印度，中國人稱之為 「南洋」，當地南島民族稱之為Nusantara
無論是南洋、東印度，都是站在他者的角度命名，充滿他者的想像以及主導意識
　　
二戰之前的歷史長河，這塊區域的名字都非憑空產生，而是反映某種歷史現實
　　
南洋是中國人出洋的最大目的地，是一片處處充滿通商機會的大型貿易場

旅居於此的西方殖民者、傳教士，阿拉伯、印度、歐美等地的商人和移民族群雜處，眾聲喧嘩，為冒險者提供了無限的可能

相對原鄉中國單一的社會，南洋則如同一個縮小版的世界
同一條街上有觀音廟、象頭神神龕、甲必丹吉靈回教堂、聖公會教堂
「南洋華人」在日常生活中吸納其他文化，而有別於「原鄉華人」

《拜別唐山：在馬來半島異域重生》，呈現南洋的華人生活
回到歷史現場，聚焦於19世紀中葉至20世紀初的拿律
以該時空拿律的人、事、物為核心往外延伸，開展引人入勝的小故事
體現了華人族群之間、其他民族之間、國家之間、經濟環境之間的互動關係
他們都是拜別唐山離鄉背井在馬來半島這片異域上重生的華人

‘A work of singular importance . . . balanced, original, human, accessible, and riveting’ – Philippe Sands, author of East-West Street.
From the prizewinning author of the acclaimed The Blood Telegram, a landmark, magisterial history of the postwar trial of Japan’s leaders as war criminals – and their impact on the modern history of Asia and the world.
In the weeks after Japan finally surrendered to the Allies to end World War II, the victorious powers turned to the question of how to move on from years of carnage and destruction. To them, it was clear that Japan’s militaristic leaders needed to be tried and punished for their crimes.
For the Allied powers, the trials were an opportunity both to render judgment on their vanquished foes and to create a legal framework to prosecute war crimes and prohibit the use of aggressive war. For the Japanese leaders on trial, it was their chance to argue that their war had been waged to liberate Asia from Western imperialism and that the court was no more than victors’ justice.
Gary J. Bass' Judgement at Tokyo is the product of a decade of research, a magnificent, riveting story of wartime action, dramatic courtroom battles, and the epic formative years that set the stage for the postwar era in the Asia–Pacific.

'Unparalleled and extraordinary . . . A bracing revivification of a crucial lineage in feminist writing' Jia Tolentino 'I believe Amia Srinivasan's work will change the world' Katherine Rundell 'Rigorously researched, but written with such spark and verve. The best non-fiction book I have read this year' Pandora Sykes How should we talk about sex? It is a thing we have and also a thing we do; a supposedly private act laden with public meaning; a personal preference shaped by outside forces; a place where pleasure and ethics can pull wildly apart. Since #MeToo many have fixed on consent as the key framework for achieving sexual justice. Yet consent is a blunt tool. To grasp sex in all its complexity - its deep ambivalences, its relationship to gender, class, race and power - we need to move beyond 'yes and no', wanted and unwanted. We need to interrogate the fraught relationships between discrimination and preference, pornography and freedom, rape and racial injustice, punishment and accountability, pleasure and power, capitalism and liberation. We need to rethink sex as a political phenomenon. Searching, trenchant and extraordinarily original, The Right to Sex is a landmark examination of the politics and ethics of sex in this world, animated by the hope of a different one.

The People’s West Lake examines the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) efforts to reconfigure Hangzhou’s urban space, alter the natural environment in West Lake (Xihu), and refashion the city’s culture in post-1949 China. It pieces together five initiatives that took place in the West Lake region between the 1950s and the 1970s: the dredging of West Lake, the construction of the public park of Watching Fish at the Flower Harbor (Huagang guanyu), the afforestation movement, the development of collectivized pig farming around West Lake, and the two campaigns to remove lakeside tombs. These projects were intended to generate visible and tangible results—a lake with a good depth, a scenic public garden, greener hills surrounding the lake, a growing swine population and rising productivity of fertilizer, and a tourist site cleansed of burial grounds—while also being readily subject to the Party’s propaganda. These initiatives were designed both to achieve economic, cultural, and ecological utilities and to forge and popularize a sense of socialist nationhood.
The CCP’s endeavor to fundamentally transform the West Lake area also opened up possibilities for both human and nonhuman actors to variously benefit from, get along with, and undermine the political authorities’ planning. This book thus emphatically foregrounds and unifies the agency of both humans and nonhuman entities that are not necessarily tied to intentionality, bringing into question the legitimacy of the human/nonhuman binary. Author Qiliang He explores the agency of both humans and nonhumans (including water, microbes, aquatic plants, the park, pigs, trees, pests, and tombs) to affect, deflect, and undercut the CCP’s sociopolitical programs, thereby diminishing the efficacy of state propaganda. Highlighting the nonpurposive agency of both actors problematizes the long-held resistance-accommodation paradigm, which presumes the resisters’ a priori subjectivities independent of the socialist system, in studying the state-society relationship in the People’s Republic of China. Using a project-based approach, The People’s West Lake gives the nature-human relationship in Mao’s China (best known as Mao’s “war against nature”) historical and cultural specificities to reexamine the PRC regime’s central planning and the issues related to it.

At most technology companies, you'll reach Senior software engineer, the career level for software engineers, in five to eight years. At the career level, your company's career ladder won't require that you work towards the next promotion; being promoted further is an exception rather than expected. This is also when many engineers are first given an opportunity to move into engineering management. Over the past few years, we've seen a flurry of books unlocking the engineering management career path, like Camille Fournier's The Manager's Path, Julie Zhuo's The Making of a Manager, Lara Hogan's Resilient Management, and even my own An Elegant Puzzle. The engineering management career isn't an easy one, but there are maps available to help navigate it. What if you want to advance your career without becoming an engineering manager? The technical leadership path remains relatively undocumented, hard to navigate, and inconsistent across companies. Staff Engineer is your guide to building your career towards a Staff engineering role, receiving the title, and succeeding within the role.

The prequel to Frank McDonough's bestselling Hitler Years series, covering the dramatic period of German history that led to the rise of Hitler in 1933.
Established in the wake of Germany's catastrophic defeat in the First World War, the Weimar Republic ushered in widespread social reform, vibrant culture and the most democratic conditions the German people had ever lived under. At its beginning in 1919, it was a regime that held hope for democracy, stability and prosperity in Germany. But it was also beset by economic upheaval and political violence on the left and the right. Ultimately, it led to the appointment of Adolf Hitler as Chancellor, who created a one-party dictatorship that abandoned the rule of law, democracy and civil rights. In Gustav Stresemann's words, Weimar democracy was 'dancing on a volcano'.
The Weimar Years is a vivid and compelling history of the period 1918-1933. Year by year, Professor Frank McDonough covers the major personalities, events in foreign policy and the music, art, theatre and literature that flourished during this era. McDonough also places particular focus on the unknown parliamentary history of Weimar, arguing that it was the failure of parliamentary democracy to bring stability that eroded public confidence and allowed the power of the elected Reichstag to gradually diminish, resulting in Hitler's appointment in January 1933.
The Weimar Years is a story of rise and fall, as well as a warning sign of how, under poor leadership, economic pressure and unrelenting political instability, a democracy can drift towards a form of authoritarian rule that eventually destroys it.

Biology is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Several aspects of the standard picture of how life works—the idea of the genome as a blueprint, of genes as instructions for building an organism, of proteins as precisely tailored molecular machines, of cells as entities with fixed identities, and more—have been exposed as incomplete, misleading, or wrong.
In How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more ingenious affair than we had guessed. Ball explains that there is no unique place to look for an answer to this question: life is a system of many levels—genes, proteins, cells, tissues, and body modules such as the immune system and the nervous system—each with its own rules and principles. How Life Works explains how these levels operate, interface, and work together (most of the time).
With this knowledge come new possibilities. Today we can redesign and reconfigure living systems, tissues, and organisms. We can reprogram cells, for instance, to carry out new tasks and grow into structures not seen in the natural world. As we discover the conditions that dictate the forms into which cells organize themselves, our ability to guide and select the outcomes becomes ever more extraordinary. Some researchers believe that ultimately we will be able to regenerate limbs and organs, and perhaps even create new life forms that evolution has never imagined.
Incorporating the latest research and insights, How Life Works is a sweeping journey into this new frontier of the life sciences, a realm that will reshape our understanding of life as we know it.

國家、民族的界限竟是如此模糊、飄忽，超乎想像的善變！
中央吞噬地方，還是地方反噬中央？
帝國擴張帶來的也許並非壯大國家的福音，而是對自身定義的挑戰。
日本知名學者小熊英二，透過「檢證近代日本對沖繩、愛努、台灣、朝鮮為主的『政策論述』」，試圖探詢「『日本人』的界限如何被設定」，質問曖昧難釐清的民族與國家界限，直探文化最核心、地域最本質，擘劃出日本與其周邊地區近百年來若即若離、糾纏難解的歷史。
小熊英二表示，自19世紀中旬開始，日本帝國擴張的過程並非一以貫之，反而政策相對模糊，其統治下的沖繩、愛努、台灣、朝鮮的定位和人民因而搖擺不定，中央和地方相互映照、拉扯，反覆辯論「何謂日本、何謂日本人」？指出了1879年以後，日本與周邊地區的辯證中，國家與人民的概念是如何複雜而多層次，並詳細分析各時期的政策、法律、教育方針，呈現出尚待我們明辨、釐清的幽微處，以及這些衝突與融合如何同時影響、挑戰了日本作為一個「國家」的定義。
《「日本人」的界限》梳理了以日本為中心，複雜多變的民族、國家面貌，探問日本百年來的殖民政策、國家與人民的本質，釐清近代東亞歷史最難辨難解的一面。

The design and analysis of efficient data structures has long been recognized as a key component of the Computer Science curriculum. Goodrich, Tomassia and Goldwasser's approach to this classic topic is based on the object-oriented paradigm as the framework of choice for the design of data structures. For each ADT presented in the text, the authors provide an associated Java interface. Concrete data structures realizing the ADTs are provided as Java classes implementing the interfaces. The Java code implementing fundamental data structures in this book is organized in a single Java package, net.datastructures. This package forms a coherent library of data structures and algorithms in Java specifically designed for educational purposes in a way that is complimentary with the Java Collections Framework.

一个人能否揪着自己的头发，把自己从失业的泥沼中拔出来？
努力≠进步，挣扎又彷徨的中年失业白领众生相
————————
【编辑推荐】
★北大新闻与传播学院教授胡泳深度撰文作序
高科技工作者的困境在中国也不鲜见......在裁员潮当中，35岁以上的互联网人首当其冲.... ..而30多岁的劳动者在他们的人生当中，正在对事业、婚姻和生育等大问题做决定，他们如果失去了工作，这将构成一种多重打击。中国的科技工作者也会规划“一人公司”吗？
★一个人的努力，是否能抵抗时代的浪潮？
“天道酬勤”“努力就会成功”……优绩主义社会的信条不断告诉人们，只要够努力，在工作中提升学历，学习各种技能，延长工作时间，努力适应就业市场，就能控制事情的走向。然而当泡沫破裂，浪潮来临，昔日科技行业的精英、时代宠儿们，也不得不接受失业的命运。是我还不够努力？还是存在结构性的问题？是否存在集体和政治的解决方案？
★稳定就业的时代或已远去，职业将被如何定义？
在高度自由竞争的市场，一个人的职业生涯，将不再是待在某家公司里层层晋升，而是由各种兼职、短期聘用工、自谋职业、独立创业以及失业拼凑起来的历程，人也不再是公司的一个齿轮，而是成为公司本身，成为只对自己负责、拥有多重技能的“六边形战士”。十年前美国科技产业泡沫之下的职场新生态，是否会成为我们的前车之鉴？当工作失去了衡量自我价值的能力，新的标的物又在哪里？
★35岁失业魔咒下，中年中产们如何自救？
第一批互联网大厂的中年失业者们重回就业市场，他们将遭遇什么？这些昔日精英的求职者们的就业前景如何？大洋彼端的美国，有一群遭遇互联网泡沫的高新技术产业失业者，在家庭重压和自我价值定义的困境下，为再就业苦苦挣扎。他们或笃信自我提升的作用，或重新定义家庭生活，或不断降低自我期待，或尝试零散、不稳定的就业方式，但出路究竟在哪里？
————————
【内容简介】
当不稳定时代来临时，我们如何应对失业后的事业与生活？
通过 18个月的田野调查、9年的跟踪寻访，与400多位高新技术行业的失业者的深入交流，人类学家卡丽·莱恩深刻呈现了这群失业者的遭遇，并挖掘出隐藏在这一群体背后的生存哲学——“一人公司”：在精英主义与新自由主义的理念下，白领很少将自己的失业归咎于“制度”或雇主，而是倾向于责怪自己，或将失业视为全球经济中商业周期和竞争的必然结果。由此，所有的工作都变成临时的，不再存在职业忠诚，个人为自己的职业生涯负责，做自己的后勤与财务，把自己当作商品来推销，当作一家“一人公司”来经营。
他们小心经营着自己的“一人公司”。然而，当泡沫破灭，将一切寄托于自己的努力，还是唯一的出路吗？

【专家推荐】
《一人公司》是对不断增长的新经济方面文献的一个可贵的补充。卡丽·莱恩的贡献在于关注受失业潮影响的工人的意识形态和心路历程，并强调职业管理，而不仅仅是记录这些趋势。《一人公司》文笔流畅，组织得当，读起来让人愉快。莱恩完成了她既定的目标，即详细描述个人如何思考混乱的就业形势并继续前进。
——凯瑟琳·登斯伯格（Kathryn Densberger），里士满大学
在《一人公司》中，卡丽·莱恩揭示了失业的高新产业工作者寻求管理工作的未知领域的方法。她记录了这些人使用的策略，并分析了他们理解失业的文化逻辑。她的分析揭示了个人主义意识形态的矛盾，这种意识形态掩盖了结构性劣势，并阻碍了对更广泛的权力关系的承认。这本书有助于在特定的历史和环境中解释个人主义的弹性。莱恩表示，工作意义经受了极大的挑战，但仍具有意义并将继续前进。
——德布拉·奥斯诺维茨（Debra Osnowitz），《英国劳资关系杂志》
在这本内容丰富、发人深省的书中，卡丽·莱恩为我们打开了一扇了解新自由主义现实复杂性的窗户。在这里，全球高科技（产业）重构在美国白领中产阶级中被挖掘出来，对他们来说，焦虑、不安感和强烈的个人主义有时是响亮的，有时是令人困惑的同床异梦。《一人公司》是一部强有力的、有先见之明的人类学研究，对性别、阶级、政治以及经济动荡时期工作和自我的意义有着微妙的解读。

划时代的日语思想史

曾获“日本学界龙门”三得利学艺奖

“国语”问题的背后，即“传统”与“现代”的关系这一不断折磨着日本近代意识的重大问题

--

对于近代日本来说，并不是先确立了“日本语”，再在其基础上构造出（日本）“国语”的。事实恰恰相反。

作者结合日本“语言的近代”的概念，从语言思想史的视角来探讨“国语”理念的历史。这样一来，不仅可以说“国语”是日本殖民主义的思想史基础，日本语的“近代”本身的特质也可以被清晰地刻画出来。

但“国语”理念不能仅仅从政治、思想层面来考察，还要立足于“语言”来理解，从某种意义上说，这个谱系具有决定性的意义。

作者试图证明：被归结到思想史、政治史、文学史等方面的“语言思想史”，其自身往往也是具有独立轮廓和固有构造的。

1957年，馬來亞聯合邦宣布獨立，先前在大英帝國體制下所組建的多族群且多元社會，轉變成為現代民族主義國家。一如許多後殖民國家的處境，族群認同成為這個新國家賴以建構政治體系的主要原則；也如同許多大英帝國的殖民地，殖民時期的馬來西亞的族群意識是「其中各個群體相遇且相處」的結果，「他們會藉由文化手段，刻意標示彼此在權力、經濟地位、政治企圖心與歷史想像方面的差異與不平等」。
華人的廟宇和節慶是其中不可忽視的面向，其不僅是華人移民建立其社會存在感、組構社會生活，並展現經濟實力的一種手段；華人也透過文化實踐傳遞社會記憶、創造屬於族群的「記憶劇場」。
1979年，人類學家白瑨到檳城進行華人傳統信仰的民族誌研究。田野中，她學習華語，也學著講混合馬來語的福建話，她試圖從乩童、道士、寺廟管委會，甚至政治人物等檳城華人身上，建構出一套他們關於自身信仰以及認同的敘事。但這個田野方式在她1987年來到台灣後發生了變化。她在台灣意識到，台灣在歷經日本統治、國民黨占領台灣、蔣介石丟失中國大陸前後所發生的幾場創傷性事件，塑造了台灣閩南人所抱持的政治態度。檳城歷經超過一百五十年的英國殖民政府以及創建於1957年的國族國家馬來西亞的統治，同樣塑造了檳城華人的社會記憶、儀式習俗和社會政治策略。她決定納入英國殖民時期的歷史文獻研究，試圖從人類學角度，探討檳城華人從1786年到1990年代所面臨的族群歸屬感議題。
白瑨試圖以人類學的視角、人類學知識，重寫——也重新解釋——一部檳城華人史。
本書依據歷史脈絡分為兩部。第一部「殖民地檳城的宗教與社會」，從歷史人類學角度探討檳城華人社會的在地化，以及華人對英殖民政府「治理」的回應；第二部「當代檳城的宗教與族群復振政治」聚焦於另一個轉折──1963年脫離英國殖民的新加坡、北婆羅洲、砂拉越各邦，與馬來亞聯合邦共同組建馬來西亞。之後經歷1969年513事件、1970年「新經濟政策」，在土著／非土著的區分下，華人被劃入次等國民。面臨此一重大身分危機，華人社會以民俗活動作為對政治緊張的積極回應，從傳統文化節慶中找出提升華人共同意識的載體，並試圖讓國家政策重回地域國族主義（territorial nationalism）的方向。
檳城華人面臨英殖民政府、後殖民的國族國家馬來西亞的政治勢力支配，試圖透過社群共同儀式塑造社會記憶，進一步建構其主體性，並與現代性的價值互相調和，追求獨立且合乎時代的身分認同。
這是檳城華人追尋認同的故事；也是一部以檳城華人為例，進一步思考華人離散、族群歸屬、歷史記憶、現代性與認同的民族誌作品。
