十八天的戰事，改變了香港的歷史；三年零八個月的苦難，改變了很多香港人的一生。
對經歷過日治時期的老一輩香港人而言，那段苦難歲月的種種生活情景，仍是記憶猶新。
本書藉著17位幸存者的回憶，如實將日治時期香港人的生活片段展現在讀者眼前。第一部分主要依據各種文獻資料，圍繞日治時期香港的糧食供應及其他生活面貌，講解分析，嘗試勾劃出當時香港的民生概況。第二部分為17位受訪者的口述故事，藉他們的經歷發掘歷史的側面，活化歷史，為讀者提供更加真實的歷史記錄，亦可彌補文獻記載之不足；讀者可以跟隨口述者的個人感受，進一步了解和體會香港近代史上滄桑的一頁。

This is the revised version of Peter Laslett's acclaimed edition of Two Treatises of Government, which is widely recognised as one of the classic pieces of recent scholarship in the history of ideas, read and used by students of political theory throughout the world. This 1988 edition revises Dr Laslett's second edition (1970) and includes an updated bibliography, a guide to further reading and a fully reset and revised introduction which surveys advances in Locke scholarship since publication of the second edition. In the introduction, Dr Laslett shows that the Two Treatises were not a rationalisation of the events of 1688 but rather a call for a revolution yet to come.

撼動北韓政權，使兩韓會談幾近破局的超級大書
度揭開近30年北韓權力結構的演變祕辛，直擊金氏家族統治內幕
★ 席捲韓國書店暢銷榜，銷售破二十萬冊
★ BBC、CNN、紐約時報、華盛頓郵報、半島電視台專訪，國際媒體追蹤注目
三樓書記室，輔佐北韓最高領導人的神祕單位。而由於太多事荒唐不堪，來自三樓書記室的指示，均以暗號形式發布，以防情資洩漏……
二○一五年三月，我接到一通來電，「太同志，外務省四樓面對廣場的辦公室，有位女員工的父親有事拜託你。收到電子郵件時，想一想你的名字和出國必備文件。」
我一一拼圖。首先，「外務省四樓面對廣場」，是黨委員會。而「女員工的父親」，則是三樓書記室的重要成員。因此這個「拜託」，正是從三樓書記室下達的，金正恩的指示。而要打開郵件中附件，得以「名字」和「出國必備文件」做為密碼。我輸入名字拼音和護照號碼，順利開啟了。文件中交代我回信。寄出時，必須再次設定密碼。來回數次後，那位女員工的父親親自來電，並指定了更複雜的密碼。
一連串隱密又複雜的過程後，我收到的指示是，「預購六張艾瑞克·克萊普頓演唱會門票，要是最好的座位」
就這樣，金正恩的祕書室——也就是三樓書記室——和我展開了聯繫……

→ 國家經濟崩潰的時期，金日成為何執著於發展核武的大夢？
→ 國內為飢荒問題所苦，高官幹部出國沒有尋求奧援，一心只為了採購丹麥啤酒？
→ 北韓高舉社會主義旗幟，卻執著世襲體制，從封建社會退化為奴隸社會？
→ 金正恩執政初期形象溫和親切，因何凶殘肅清家族成員、前朝高官？
→ 當前北韓對外宣稱同意棄核，竟是重演多年前的外交騙局？
→ 菁英階層的動搖，又如何預言著金正恩政權的未來？

全書詳實記載了作者任職於政府機關的第一手觀察，一幕幕事件現場，讀來如同歷史紀錄片般，令人意想不到、大呼過癮。

本書以城市生理學的角度出發，指出城市的規劃與重建，首重了解城市神秘和複雜的運作方式，以及城市人的真實生活。書的第一部分從許多真實案例中歸納出街道鄰里在都市生活中的重要地位。第二部分聚焦一個普遍性原則，就是城市需要一個非常複雜、細緻、多樣化的土地利用形態，在經濟和社會各方面不時相互支持。這也是作者的論述核心。第三部分對住宅、交通、設計、規劃提出建議，並討論城市在處理組織複雜性所面臨的各種問題。 書中最後強調，必須將城市看待成一個具有複雜秩序的有機體，以生命科學的社會工程來處理都市計畫的複雜問題，那樣才有可能賦予城市生命和活力。這是偉大城市的基本條件，也是最高境界。否則，只對城市的外觀進行規劃，而不思索城市有哪些與生俱來的功能秩序，是註定失敗的。
2006年4月25日，哥倫比亞廣播公司、《紐約時報》、《華盛頓郵報》等北美各大媒體紛紛以大篇幅報導一名沒有大學文憑和「專業」背景的老太太過世，這就是《偉大城市的誕生與衰亡》一書的作者，珍．雅各。這是她的第一本書，也是成名之作，一本徹底顛覆當時歐美規劃理論的經典之作。1961年剛出版時，便以淺白易懂的庶民觀點，深入人心。歷經半個世紀，它的影響力至今持續不墜。
本書從社區鄰里的街道生活和商業及文化的多樣性等「生活城市」的概念出發，強調唯有多元混合的「人性尺度」，始能造就「平凡而偉大的城市」。因而對於大規模開發和夷平式更新的都市發展策略，大加抨擊。1996年紐約市立圖書館精選出版的「世紀好書」將它與韋伯的《基督新教倫理與資本主義精神》、凱因斯的《就業、利息與貨幣的一般理論》、魏伯倫的《有閒階級論》等書，並列為20世紀「經濟與技術類」中，十一本最重要的經典巨著之一。
本書特色
◎全書以淺白的話語和實際的生活案例，闡述美國大城的興衰之道。
◎立論基礎均奠基在真實的城市生活，並用這些具體的生活經驗，對20世紀的主流規劃與建築理論加以反省和批判。
◎將城市視為一個有生命的有機體，用生理學觀點理解城市運作機制，有助於反思都市計畫如何與市民生活完美結合。
◎本書探討的「混合使用」多樣性策略，提醒讀者如何善用現有的珍貴城市資產，創造一個神奇非凡的生活城市。

A prize-winning journalist upends our centuries-long assumptions about migration through science, history, and reporting--predicting its lifesaving power in the face of climate change.
The news today is full of stories of dislocated people on the move. Wild species, too, are escaping warming seas and desiccated lands, creeping, swimming, and flying in a mass exodus from their past habitats. News media presents this scrambling of the planet's migration patterns as unprecedented, provoking fears of the spread of disease and conflict and waves of anxiety across the Western world. On both sides of the Atlantic, experts issue alarmed predictions of millions of invading aliens, unstoppable as an advancing tsunami, and countries respond by electing anti-immigration leaders who slam closed borders that were historically porous.
But the science and history of migration in animals, plants, and humans tell a different story. Far from being a disruptive behavior to be quelled at any cost, migration is an ancient and lifesaving response to environmental change, a biological imperative as necessary as breathing. Climate changes triggered the first human migrations out of Africa. Falling sea levels allowed our passage across the Bering Sea. Unhampered by barbed wire, migration allowed our ancestors to people the planet, catapulting us into the highest reaches of the Himalayan mountains and the most remote islands of the Pacific, creating and disseminating the biological, cultural, and social diversity that ecosystems and societies depend upon. In other words, migration is not the crisis--it is the solution.
Conclusively tracking the history of misinformation from the 18th century through today's anti-immigration policies, The Next Great Migration makes the case for a future in which migration is not a source of fear, but of hope.

1912年，随着明治天皇去世、大正天皇登基，日本开始出现宽松的社会环境，民主主义运动高涨，实现了普选制和政党内阁制。另一方面，军部和右翼势力暗流涌动，最终在1936年酿成了“二二六事件”。从那时起，日本迅速滑向法西斯主义，先是侵略中国，而后向英美宣战，结果不但给世界造成灾难，日本自身也几乎被战争毁灭。本书通过描写1912—1945年的重要历史人物和重大历史事件，生动勾画了一个曾经充满希望的新兴国家如何走向战争的历程，也分析了日本走上自我毁灭的内在原因。
本书是《国家的启蒙：日本帝国崛起之源》一书的续集，这两本书完整地呈现了近代日本帝国开国—崛起—膨胀—毁灭的历史进程，也是一个完整的后发国家的现代化故事。日本走向战争对中国产生了巨大的影响，了解这段历史，对于认识日本、认识后发国家的发展具有现实意义，对今天的中国也仍然有很强的警示意义。

民族主义和国家主义的结合，把明治维新开启的日本现代化进程导引入军国主义的歧途。这造成了20世纪亚洲严重的人道主义灾难，也使好几代日本人增进国家现代性的成果毁于一旦。近代日本走过的弯路，值得仍在致力于国家治理现代化的发展中国家引为鉴戒。

Digital technology has changed the way we interact with everything from the games we play to the tools we use at work. Designers of digital technology products no longer regard their job as designing a physical object--beautiful or utilitarian--but as designing our interactions with it. In Designing Interactions, award-winning designer Bill Moggridge introduces us to forty influential designers who have shaped our interaction with technology. Moggridge, designer of the first laptop computer (the GRiD Compass, 1981) and a founder of the design firm IDEO, tells us these stories from an industry insider's viewpoint, tracing the evolution of ideas from inspiration to outcome. The innovators he interviews--including Will Wright, creator of The Sims, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google, and Doug Engelbart, Bill Atkinson, and others involved in the invention and development of the mouse and the desktop--have been instrumental in making a difference in the design of interactions. Their stories chart the history of entrepreneurial design development for technology. Moggridge and his interviewees discuss such questions as why a personal computer has a window in a desktop, what made Palm's handheld organizers so successful, what turns a game into a hobby, why Google is the search engine of choice, and why 30 million people in Japan choose the i-mode service for their cell phones. And Moggridge tells the story of his own design process and explains the focus on people and prototypes that has been successful at IDEO--how the needs and desires of people can inspire innovative designs and how prototyping methods are evolving for the design of digital technology. Designing Interactions is illustrated with more than 700 images, with color throughout. Accompanying the book is a DVD that contains segments from all the interviews intercut with examples of the interactions under discussion. Interviews with:
Bill Atkinson, Durrell Bishop, Brendan Boyle, Dennis Boyle, Paul Bradley, Duane Bray, Sergey Brin, Stu Card, Gillian Crampton Smith, Chris Downs, Tony Dunne, John Ellenby, Doug Englebart, Jane Fulton Suri, Bill Gaver, Bing Gordon, Rob Haitani, Jeff Hawkins, Matt Hunter, Hiroshi Ishii, Bert Keely, David Kelley, Rikako Kojima, Brenda Laurel, David Liddle, Lavrans Løvlie, John Maeda, Paul Mercer, Tim Mott, Joy Mountford, Takeshi Natsuno, Larry Page, Mark Podlaseck, Fiona Raby, Cordell Ratzlaff, Ben Reason, Jun Rekimoto, Steve Rogers, Fran Samalionis, Larry Tesler, Bill Verplank, Terry Winograd, and Will Wright

在這些以單一族裔身分為常規，
異族通婚被投以猜疑甚至敵意的社會裡，
跨國、跨種族家庭要如何協商其身分認同？
當今新的「雙族裔」時尚蔚為風潮，「歐亞混血」成為跨國資本主義體制的典範。混種主體的形象發揮隱喻作用，象徵全球化時代各種文化、語言和資本之間的交流日盛。然而回溯至一百多年前的時空，卻非如此。
十九世紀後半，貿易、帝國擴張、傳教運動、全球勞工遷徙和海外留學，使中國與西方的接觸空前密切。縱橫交錯的跨國移動引發各種跨文化邂逅，從而產生跨種族家庭，然而這些家庭的故事多不見於世。在那段跨種族婚姻是禁忌，「歐亞混血」甚至為貶抑之詞的時期，他們如何掙扎著自我認同？
本書闡述眾多這樣的歷程，以檢視在更早的全球化年代，各種關於種族與文化混融的觀念。這些觀念可分兩類：認為種族融合有害，衍生出雜種退化與畸變；相對地，認為異種交配符合優生學的想法，則衍生出雜種優勢和種族改良。

In her groundbreaking history of 175 years of American education, Dana Goldstein finds answers in the past to the controversies that plague our public schools today.
Teaching is a wildly contentious profession in America, one attacked and admired in equal measure. In
, a rich, lively, and unprecedented history of public school teaching, Dana Goldstein reveals that teachers have been similarly embattled for nearly two centuries. From the genteel founding of the common schools movement in the nineteenth century to the violent inner-city teacher strikes of the 1960s and '70s, from the dispatching of Northeastern women to frontier schoolhouses to the founding of Teach for America on the Princeton University campus in 1989, Goldstein shows that the same issues have continued to bedevil us: Who should teach? What should be taught? Who should be held accountable for how our children learn?
She uncovers the surprising roots of hot button issues, from teacher tenure to charter schools, and finds that recent popular ideas to improve schools—instituting merit pay, evaluating teachers by student test scores, ranking and firing veteran teachers, and recruiting “elite” graduates to teach—are all approaches that have been tried in the past without producing widespread change. And she also discovers an emerging effort that stands a real chance of transforming our schools for the better: drawing on the best practices of the three million public school teachers we already have in order to improve learning throughout our nation’s classrooms.
upends the conversation about American education by bringing the lessons of history to bear on the dilemmas we confront today. By asking “How did we get here?” Dana Goldstein brilliantly illuminates the path forward.

"The Restless City: A Short History of New York from Colonial Times to the Present" is a short, lively history of the world's most exciting and diverse metropolis. It shows how New York's perpetual struggles for power, wealth, and status exemplify the vigor, creativity, resilience, and influence of the nation's premier urban center. The updated second edition includes 19 images and brings the story right up through the mayoral election of 2009. In these pages are the stories of a broad cross-section of people and events that shaped the city, including mayors and moguls, women and workers, and policemen and poets. Joanne Reitano shows how New York has invigorated the American dream by confronting the fundamental economic, political, and social challenges that face every city. Energized by change, enriched by immigrants, and enlivened by provocative leaders, New York City's restlessness has always been its greatest asset.

The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh's novels, Brideshead Revisited looks back to the golden age before the Second World War. It tells the story of Charles Ryder's infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly-disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognize only his spiritual and social distance from them.

Book Description
From one of the country's most esteemed experts on the First Amendment and the author of the classic Gideon's Trumpet, an eloquent essay on the importance of freedom of expression.
More than any other people on earth, Americans are free to say and write what they think. The media can air the secrets of the White House, the boardroom, or the bedroom with little fear of punishment or penalty. The reason for this extraordinary freedom is not a superior culture of tolerance, but just fourteen words in our most fundamental legal document: the free expression clauses of the First Amendment to the Constitution.
In Lewis's telling, the story of how the right of free expression evolved along with our nation makes a compelling case for the adaptability of our constitution. Although Americans have gleefully and sometimes outrageously exercised their right to free speech since before the nation's founding, the Supreme Court did not begin to recognize this right until 1919. Freedom of speech and the press as we know it today is surprisingly recent. Anthony Lewis tells us how these rights were created, revealing a story of hard choices, heroic (and some less heroic) judges, and fascinating and eccentric defendants who forced the legal system to come face-to-face with one of America's great founding ideas.

In the run-up to the 2016 election, Masha Gessen stood out from other journalists for the ability to convey the ominous significance of Donald Trump's speech and behavior, unprecedented in a national candidate. Within forty-eight hours of his victory, the essay "Autocracy: Rules for Survival" had gone viral, and Gessen's coverage of his norm-smashing presidency became essential reading for a citizenry struggling to wrap their heads around the unimaginable. Thanks to the special perspective that is the legacy of a Soviet childhood and two decades covering the resurgence of totalitarianism in Russia, Gessen has a sixth sense for signs of autocracy--and the unique cross-cultural fluency to delineate its emergence to Americans. This incisive book provides an indispensable overview of the calamitous trajectory of the past few years. Gessen not only highlights the corrosion of the media, the judiciary, and the cultural norms we hoped would save us but also tells us the story of how a short few years have changed us, from a people who saw ourselves as a nation of immigrants to a populace haggling over a border wall, heirs to a degraded sense of truth, meaning, and possibility.
is an inventory of ravages but also a beacon to recovery--or to enduring, and resisting, an ongoing assault.

至於我自己这些年来所创作的《饮膳札记》，每篇都是以一道菜的名称为题目，像是「潮州鱼翅」、「清炒虾仁」、「台湾肉粽」、「炒米粉」等，一共写了十九篇文章。所以看起来很像食谱，听说还曾经造成某些书店归类书籍的困扰。

不过我想，如果是为了食谱而买这本书的人，或许会感到失望。因为《饮膳札记》的内容显然跟方才提到的食谱型式有所出入。我的一些朋友看了书以後也对我说：「如果要拿这本书去学做菜，会觉得有点混淆，不够清楚。」好比材料的放法，佐料的多寡。我自己从前总觉得食谱上写佐料「酌量」是不负责的说法，现在倒真正觉得做菜并不能那麽讲究科学的。

我记得一九六九年到一九七○年待在京都进修一年，有个朋友带我去大阪拜访一位日本医生的太太，她很喜欢学中国菜。半路上，我们先去市场买了材料，才到医生家。这个医生家里的厨房漂亮又乾净，尤其是墙壁上还挂了一个小黑板，他们就是要找我去做「炒米粉」的示范。没想到在切菜、放佐料时，这位日本太太十分实事求是地要弄清楚菜的长度、盐的份量；後来我写《饮膳札记》时，才深深体会到中国人做菜真的是很凭感觉的。就好比酱油，不同的品牌咸淡也不同，汤匙也会有大有小，我们又怎麽能要求一种固定的匙量呢？

所以每当朋友质疑我：「像你这种自由心证的食谱，根本是写给会做菜的人看的嘛。」我听了就给朋友一个解释：「我本来就不是在写食谱啊。」

我想，我的《饮膳札记》只是一本用食谱型式去包装的散文。
