希罗多德研究必读之作
洞察其文学技巧与智性习惯
探究《历史》的开创性成就
--
希罗多德为文学开辟了新天地，他是西方第一个从对历史事件的真切追忆与混乱偏颇的回忆中创造出秩序与意义的散文作家，具有讲述故事、捕捉真相的复杂技巧。
本书关乎希罗多德的智性习惯与文学原则，从修辞与写作传统、叙事技法、材料来源、主导思想等方面全方位解析其“研究”（即“历史”） 可能的内在“方法”。通过分析《历史》当中反复出现的特定风格、哲学成见、论辩习惯、研究技巧与塑造性观念，拉泰纳考察了这部著作的奇特构造，帮助读者把握希罗多德在文学与历史研究方面的开创性成就。

历史地理学的研究，是要探索并解释历史时期地理环境的变迁、人与环境的互动关系、社会人文空间衍变的复杂过程。它将人的能力（理性的与感性的）与大地紧密结合起来，并展示人类历史行为的空间维度，这是观察世界的特殊视角，是理解历史的必要路径，这种视角与路径是不可替代的。
历史地理学作为学科的形成，是人类智识发展的必然成果。它以生存世界的丰富性为前提，揭示其间隐含的错综关系；它以人类的本质为旨要，论证文明的多维特征；它以理性反思为基础，为前瞻提供智慧。历史地理学所关注与叙述的知识类型、人文理念、地方习俗，乃是构成当下社会生活的重要元素，所以历史地理学离每个人都不远。

【内容简介】
高启是明代首屈一指的诗人，在某种程度上缔造了有明一代诗歌的气象、规模与轮廓。却在盛年因卷入苏州知府魏观的冤案，横遭腰斩。
高启有集传世，但因为始终未被平反，生平记载少之又少，青年时代充满了谜团。本书从高启的诗歌入手，勾勒出高启的行踪与交游。
更可贵的是，本书的并不止步于勾稽诗人生平，而是将个人的升沉置于元末大乱、群雄逐鹿与明初的高压时局下。被朱元璋消灭的张士诚政权，是曾让青年高启寄托英雄主义豪情的存在。之后则由幻灭转为疏离，这段经历终成为高启命运中难以摆脱的伏笔。
译后记从牟复礼写作此书的学术史意义谈起，旁及西方汉学著作的预设读者与终极追求，又将翻译过程中的种种纠结与思索一一呈现，极富意趣。
【名家评论】
青丘子高启——在元末明初写“唐诗”的天才：
[明]张羽：赖有声名消不得，汉家乐府盛唐诗。
[清]四库馆臣：（高）启天才高逸，实据明一代诗人之上，其于诗，拟汉魏似汉魏，拟六朝似六朝，拟唐似唐，拟宋似宋，凡古人之所长无不兼之。
[清]赵翼：惟高青丘（启）才气超迈，音节响亮，宗派唐人，而自出新意，一涉笔即有博大昌明气象，亦关有明一代文运。
毛泽东：高启，字季迪，明朝最伟大的诗人。
美国汉学家牟复礼其人：
北京大学教授陆扬：任何熟悉过去半个多世纪以来北美汉学及中国史研究变迁的人是不会不知道牟先生的贡献和地位。
尤其是他的充满创造力的学术生涯和普林斯顿大学东亚研究的建立与成长有非常紧密的关系。……称其为普大东亚系之父并不过分。
牟先生是我见过最热爱中国传统文化，也是中文说的最为标准典雅的西方人。
我的印象中，牟先生治学的特点是结和汉学的素养和史学的眼光。
香港理工大学教授朱鸿林：作为20世纪下半期欧美汉学的卓越宗师，作为中国近世史研究的一流学者，以及作为一辈高等院校教研工作者的杰出导师，他在学术上的成就和贡献，必会有人确认其价值而为之立传播扬的。
牟复礼的成名作The Poet Kao Ch'i 1336—1374 其书：
海外“汉学界第一人”、哈佛大学燕京学社讲座教授杨联陞：这是一部高启的完整传记。高启是元末明初之际最重要的一位诗人，他的作品在中国和日本都很受欢迎。作者对这位极具天赋的文学人物在动乱时期的悲惨一生，做了生动而充满同情的描述，从而广泛地揭示了那个时代的社会与文化。……书中的很多内容不仅吸引西方研究中国历史和文学的学者和一般读者，也会使中国和日本的读者感兴趣，因为在这里还从未有人尝试以如此的规模或类似的方式记述高启的生平。
乔治·华盛顿大学教授齐皎瀚（Jonathan Chaves）：正是牟复礼教授的著作使得高启成为“西方最知名的中国明代诗人”。
首度汉译，以《高启：诗人的穷途》为名：
北京师范大学康震教授：《高启: 诗人的穷途》深刻探究明代诗人高启的生平与文学，揭示他在历史漩涡中的坎坷遭遇，彰显了高启的文学贡献，还原了明代社会风貌，为读者呈现了一幅生动的历史画卷。这部传记力作不仅是对高启的致敬，更是通向中国历史与文学交汇之门的标识。
牛津大学陈靝沅教授（Tan Tian Yuan）：《高启：诗人的穷途》作为明史专家牟复礼教授的早年力作，如今中译本在原书出版六十年后面世，既可让读者一1960年代西方汉学之风格面貌，又可对照当今明代研究的格局作一反思。

《地下室手记》体现了陀思妥耶夫斯基诗学的全部艺术特色，内容深刻，形式诡异，既像小说，又像忏悔录，又像哲学论文。作品主人公既像坏人，又像好人；既像小人，又像一个饱经沧桑、逆来顺受的人；既像英雄，又是“非英雄”，又什么都不像。……“地下室人”被认为是“自我中心主义者的典型”，但是又有人认为，“地下室人”是俄国的哈姆雷特，是“多余人”的当代变形。
陀思妥耶夫斯基是他那个时代的“真理的探求者”。《地下室手记》成为一本越来越受到世人追捧的书，被认为是陀思妥耶夫斯基五部长篇小说的总序，是其创作涯的里程碑。人心的深，人心的苦，人心的无奈与悲剧，人人都有切身体会但又难以言说的，尽在此书中。

Learning to work with light is an important milestone in every photographer’s career, and the ability to craft light to fit your vision for an image is a skill that cannot be overrated. Most often, that crafting of light is spoken of in terms of the <i>quality</i> and <i>quantity</i> of light. But there is an important, third component of light that heavily influences the final look of the image: the <i>color</i> of light. In <i>Chroma: A Photographer’s Guide to Lighting with Color</i>, photographer Nick Fancher helps you elevate your game when it comes to introducing the bold, creative, and intentional use of color into your work.</p> <p>Whether you’re using a high-powered strobe or a small hotshoe flash, <i>Chroma</i> is for you. Nick begins with a discussion of color theory, gels, and white balance, then examines how to determine which colors complement your subject matter (whether that’s people or products). He moves on to cover topics such as:</p> 
<ul> <li> Balancing, mixing, and overpowering ambient light with artificial light</li> <li>Layering colors for unique color combinations</li> <li>Mixing hard and soft light to achieve extremely rich color</li> <li>Lighting detail and texture</li> <li>Modifier options, such as ring flash, snoots, barn doors, softboxes, and filters</li>  <li>Gobos to control the light</li> <li>Post-processing for vibrant, powerful colors</li> <li>How (and why) to light with color, even when the end goal is a black and white image</li> </ul>
<p>Illustrated throughout with innovative and expressive imagery, <i>Chroma</i> also includes behind-the-scenes photos, lighting diagrams, and Lightroom settings so you can follow along from the initial concept through to the final edit.</p> p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Verdana} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Verdana; min-height: 13.0px}

This monumental masterwork by the renowned nineteenth century scientist and authority on color, M.E. Chevreul, is unquestionably one of the greatest books ever written on color; the first English translation is reprinted here with the original color restored and an introduction and explanatory notes by Faber Birren, the leading color authority of the present time. Chevreul's book dominated the schools of Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism, and exerted profound influence on later schools of painting including today's Op Art. Chevreul set forth principles that have become basic in color training throughout the Western world. In his illuminating commentary Mr. Birren shows how many of Chevreul's ideas on color harmony, contrast effects, optical mixtures, and legibility have been validated by modern scientific research in visual perception. mr. Birren also provides a helpful glossary of Chevreul's terminology. Lavishly illustrated, the volume contains many color plates, including 15 plates from the original French edition, photographs of Gobelins tapestries, and full-page reproductions of outstanding Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist paintings. Essential as a reference book for artist and art educators, this volume will also be a source of fresh inspiration for fashion designers, interior decorators, and all others concerned with color in any medium-and it makes good reading for all those interested in the history of men and ideas.

The Secret Lives of Colour tells the unusual stories of the 75 most fascinating shades, dyes and hues. From blonde to ginger , the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, Picasso's blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid yellow to kelly green , and from scarlet women to imperial purple , these surprising stories run like a bright thread throughout history. In this book Kassia St Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colours and where they come from (whether Van Gogh's chrome yellow sunflowers or punk's fluorescent pink ) into a unique study of human civilisation. Across fashion and politics, art and war, The Secret Lives of Colour tell the vivid story of our culture.

This first survey of building types ever written remains an essential guide to vital and often overlooked features of the architectural and social inheritance of the West. Here Nikolaus Pevsner shares his immense erudition and keenly discerning eye with readers curious about the ways in which architecture reflects the character of society. He describes twenty types of buildings ranging from the most monumental to the least, from the most ideal to the most utilitarian. More than seven hundred illustrations illuminate the text.

A two-volume study of political thought from the late thirteenth to the end of the sixteenth century, the decisive period of transition from medieval to modern political theory. The work is intended to be both an introduction to the period for students, and a presentation and justification of a particular approach to the interpretation of historical texts. Quentin Skinner gives an outline account of all the principal texts of the period, discussing in turn the chief political writings of Dante, Marsiglio, Bartolus, Machiavelli, Erasmus and more, Luther and Calvin, Bodin and the Calvinist revolutionaries. But he also examines a very large number of lesser writers in order to explain the general social and intellectual context in which these leading theorists worked. He thus presents the history not as a procession of 'classic texts' but are more readily intelligible. He traces by this means the gradual emergence of the vocabulary of modern political thought, and in particular the crucial concept of the State. We are given an insight into the actual processes of the formation of ideologies and into some of the linkages between political theory and practice. Professor Skinner has been awarded the Balzan Prize Life Time Achievement Award for Political Thought, History and Theory.

The most significant contribution in any language to the history of early modern Austrian Habsburgs.

From our twentieth-century perspective, we tend to think of the Europe of the past as a colonizer, a series of empires that conquered lands beyond their borders and forced European cultural values on other peoples. This provocative book shows that Europe in the Middle Ages was as much a product of a process of conquest and colonization as it was later a colonizer.

Throughout history, the Balkans have been a crossroads, a zone of endless military, cultural, and economic mixing and clashing between Europe and Asia, Christianity and Islam, Catholicism and Orthodoxy. In this highly acclaimed short history, Mark Mazower sheds light on what has been called the tinderbox of Europe, whose troubles have ignited wider wars for hundreds of years. Focusing on events from the emergence of the nation-state onward, The Balkans reveals with piercing clarity the historical roots of current conflicts and gives a landmark reassessment of the region’s history, from the world wars and the Cold War to the collapse of communism, the disintegration of Yugoslavia, and the continuing search for stability in southeastern Europe.

At a time when men and women were prepared to kill—and be killed—for their faith, the Reformation tore the western world apart. Acclaimed as the definitive account of these epochal events, Diarmaid MacCulloch's history brilliant re-creates the religious battles of priests, monarchs, scholars and politicians, from the zealous Luther to the radical Loyola, from the tortured Cranmer to the ambitious Philip II.

Weaving together the many strands of Reformation and Counter-Reformation, ranging widely across Europe and even to the New World, MacCulloch also reveals as never before how these upheavals affected everyday lives—overturning ideas of love, sex, death and the supernatural, and shaping the modern age.

Shopping was as important in the Renaissance as it is today. This fascinating and original book breaks new ground in the area of Renaissance material culture, focusing on the marketplace and such related topics as middle-class to courtly consumption, the provision of foodstuffs, and the acquisition of antiquities and holy relics. The book investigates how men and women of different social classes went to the streets, squares, and shops to buy goods they needed and wanted on a daily—or a once-in-a-lifetime—basis, during the Renaissance period. Evelyn Welch draws on wide-ranging sources to expose the fears, anxieties, and social possibilities of the Renaissance marketplace and to show the impact of these attitudes on developing urban spaces. She considers transient forms of sales such as fairs, auctions, and lotteries as well as consumers themselves. Finally, she explores antiquities and indulgences, both of which posed dramatic challenges to contemporary notions of market value and to the concept of commodification itself.

'Of the "Great Powers" that dominated Europe from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, Prussia is the only one to have vanished ... Iron Kingdom is not just good: it is everything a history book ought to be ... The nemesis of Prussia has cast such a long shadow that German historians have tiptoed around the subject. Thus it was left to an Englishman to write what is surely the best history of Prussia in any language' Sunday Telegraph

Was Europe's domination of the modern international order the inevitable rise of a superior civilization or the piratical hijacking of an evolving world system? A little of both, and a lot of neither, this ambitious comparative study argues—because world history's real center of gravity sits in Eurasia. Historian Darwin (The End of the British Empire) contends that an ascendant Western imperialism was a sideshow to vast, wealthy and dynamic Asian empires—in China, Mughal India, the Ottoman Middle East and Safavid Iran—which proved resistant to Western encroachment and shaped the world into the 21st century. Europe's overseas colonial empires as well as the expansions of the United States across North America and Russia across Siberia—was not inevitable, but rather a slow, fitful and often marginal enterprise that didn't accelerate until the mid-19th century. Darwin analyzes the technological, organizational and economic advantages Europeans accrued over time, but shows how dependent their success was on the vagaries of world trade (the driving force of modern imperialism, in his account) and the internal politics of the countries they tried to control. Nicely balanced between sweeping overview and illuminating detail, this lucid survey complicates and deepens our understanding of modern world history.

Dance was at the core of Renaissance social activity in France and had important connections with most major issues of the period. This finely illustrated book provides the first full account of the pivotal place and high status of dance in sixteenth-century French culture and society.
 
Margaret M. McGowan examines the diverse forms of dance in the Renaissance, contemporary attitudes toward dance, and the light this throws on moral, political, and aesthetic concerns of the time. Among the subjects she covers are: expectations of dance; style, costume, music, and social coding; court dance versus social dancing; dance and the Valois dynasty; professional dancers, virtuosos, and choreographers; burlesque; opposition to dance; and dance and the people. Nearly one hundred illustrations, many of them rare, accompany the engrossing text.
