￥213.48
《我包罗万象》 在人类的生活史中，微生物常常隐而不现，只有当我们被因它们而起的疾病击倒时，才猛然意识到微生物的存在。因此，人们常常给微生物冠以恶棍之名，直到今天仍然容易谈菌色变。可事实上，在我们的生命历程中，微生物不仅从未缺席，而且必不可少。放眼万物，斑头雁迁徙飞跃喜马拉雅山时带着微生物，象海豹潜入深海时也携有微生物。当尼尔·阿姆斯特朗和巴兹·奥尔德林登上月球时，他们踏出的一小步既是人类的一大步，也是微生物的一大步。 本书将带领我们以“微生物之眼”重新认识生命体之间的共生关系。在每个自成“动物园”的人体之上，微生物能塑造器官、防御疾病、消化食物、驯化免疫系统、指导行为，并赋予我们各种神奇的能力。读者可以通过本书重新认识人类过往对很多古老共生关系的大意破坏，同时见证当下各行各业努力构建新型共生关系的谨慎尝试。 也许，是时候用沃尔特·惠特曼的诗句改写奥逊·威尔斯的“我们孤独地出生，孤独地活着，又孤独地死去”了。在离不开与微生物的共生互动之中：“我辽阔博大，我包罗万象。” 《追寻记忆的痕迹：新心智科学的开创历程》 本书是美籍犹太裔神经科学家、诺贝尔奖得主埃里克?坎德尔的自传，在书中他不仅表达了个人对其生活和历史的感受和思考，也以亲历者的身份叙述了神经科学这个学科从无到有的发展史——人们如何开始用生物科学的方法研究学习和记忆，在过去的一个世纪里这个领域得到了哪些发展，科学界又对未来怀有哪些愿景和期待。通过阅读这本书，读者不仅可以了解神经科学这一学科的动向，更能窥见科学家进行科学探索的思考路径，以及一个伟大科学家的素质和襟怀。本书已被翻译成德语、法语、俄语、意大利语、西班牙语、波斯语等十多个语种，先后荣获2006年度《洛杉矶时报》图书奖和2007年度美国国家学院知识传播奖。 《创造自然：亚历山大·冯·洪堡的科学发现之旅》 18世纪的人类以“进步”为关键词，不断投身改造自然的热潮，可也逐渐失去了对自然的敬畏。在这一时期众多探究“如何理解自然”的科学家中，有一位浮士德式的人物：他的内心簸荡着不息的求知冲动，不仅渴望周游世界，更试图洞悉整个宇宙。深受启蒙思想影响的他，坚信客观实验之必要，但也重视个人的主观感受。他将科学与想象结合在一起，以“生命之网”的整体视角重新审视自然。他，就是亚历山大·冯·洪堡。 亚历山大·冯·洪堡（Alexander von Humboldt，1769—1859），曾被普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉四世盛赞为“大洪水后真正伟大的人物”。他深入委内瑞拉的茂密雨林，穿越漫长的安第斯山脉，攀登当时公认的火山——钦博拉索山；他曾与同伴惊险地逃脱鳄鱼之口，目睹野马与电鳗的残酷搏斗，在重重树影间与美洲豹狭路相逢。他将对自然的崭新理解，融入对彼时政治局势的悉心体察，既为托马斯·杰斐逊带去详尽的考察资料，还影响了西蒙·玻利瓦尔的拉丁美洲革命。洪堡对世界的广博认识不但招致了拿破仑的嫉妒，更深度影响了歌德、柯勒律治、达尔文、梭罗、海克尔等诗人与科学家。洪堡究竟如何从一位怀有远游心气的少年成长为具有世界影响力的科学家？其观察自然的全新视角受到哪些影响的形塑？由此生成的整体自然观又如何在思想史的流变中影响一代又一代的知识分子？这些问题都可以在《创造自然》中找到答案。 安德烈娅·武尔夫为写作本书重新追寻洪堡的足迹。她以生动的笔触和翔实的资料将洪堡的个人传记、旅行历险和自然观念的演变交织在一起，既揭示了他在科学史上的枢纽地位，也搭建起这位150多年前的博物学家与现代的联系。洪堡宛如一位21世纪的通才，带着远超同时代人的前瞻性视角，将敏感的心灵注入对奴隶制、环境问题与科研发展等的探讨。这位跨越科学与艺术的观察者，可以超越任何时代。 《追捕祝融星：爱因斯坦如何摧毁了一颗行星》 水星是距离太阳近的行星，在几个世纪的观测中，人们发现水星轨道存在轻微的扰动。这与牛顿理论所预言的行星行为有些许偏差。为了解释这种现象，根据牛顿万有引力定律，法国天文学家勒威耶进行了计算，于1859年提出假设：水星轨道内尚有一颗未被人们发现的行星。他还以罗马神话中火神的名字（Vulcan）为之命名（对应中文译名即“祝融星”）。此后，人们开始疯狂地寻找这颗行星，但除了一位乡间业余天文学家声称目击了它之外，没人能再次证实它的存在。1915年，爱因斯坦的广义相对论体系构建完成，首先解决的问题就是解释水星轨道的扰动现象。自此证实：祝融星并不存在。 《从一到无穷大：科学中的事实与猜想》 本书是科普界一代宗师乔治·伽莫夫的代表作，在一众自然科学经典名著中宛如灯塔一般，是科学爱好者不容错过的经典之作，其历久弥新的魅力，仍对普通读者构建自身的科学素养大有裨益。 本书共分为四个部分，先从数学基础知识入手，而后以通俗有趣的语言清晰介绍了时间、空间及其相对性，再将爱因斯坦深奥的相对论和四维时空结构简明说理，后生动讨论了人类在微观世界和宏观世界的认知进展。 书中大量的有趣插图均为作者亲笔绘制，有助读者轻松进入奇妙的科学世界，是学生、科学爱好者难得的入门读物。

How Governments And Other Stakeholders
Biology's First Law
￥211.90
So certain is this that we may boldly state that it is absurd for human beings even to attempt it, or to hope that perhaps some day another Newton might arise who would explain to us, in terms of natural laws unordered by intention, how even a mere blade of grass is produced．Kant, Critique of Judgment (1790)
Urban Blues
￥211.90
Charles Keil examines the expressive role of blues bands and performers and stresses the intense interaction between performer and audience. Profiling bluesmen Bobby Bland and B. B. King, Keil argues that they are symbols for the black community, embodying important attitudes and roles-success, strong egos, and close ties to the community. While writing Urban Blues in the mid-1960s, Keil optimistically saw this cultural expression as contributing to the rising tide of raised political consciousness in Afro-America. His new Afterword examines black music in the context of capitalism and black culture in the context of worldwide trends toward diversification."e;Enlightening. . . . [Keil] has given a provocative indication of the role of the blues singer as a focal point of ghetto community expression."e;-John S. Wilson, New York Times Book Review"e;A terribly valuable book and a powerful one. . . . Keil is an original thinker and . . . has offered us a major breakthrough."e;-Studs Terkel, Chicago Tribune"e;[Urban Blues] expresses authentic concern for people who are coming to realize that their past was . . . the source of meaningful cultural values."e;-Atlantic"e;An achievement of the first magnitude. . . . He opens our eyes and introduces a world of amazingly complex musical happening."e;-Robert Farris Thompson, Ethnomusicology?"e;[Keil's] vigorous, aggressive scholarship, lucid style and sparkling analysis stimulate the challenge. Valuable insights come from treating urban blues as artistic communication."e;-James A. Bonar, Boston Herald?
Commentary on The Complete Greek Tragedies. Aeschylus
￥211.90
This commentary offers a rich introduction and useful guide to the seven surviving plays attributed to Aeschylus. Though it may profitably be used with any translation of Aeschylus, the commentary is based on the acclaimed Chicago translations, The Complete Greek Tragedies, edited by David Grene and Richmond Lattimore.James C. Hogan provides a general introduction to Aeschylean theater and drama, followed by a line-by-line commentary on each of the seven plays. He places Aeschylus in the historical, cultural, and religious context of fifth-century Athens, showing how the action and metaphor of Aeschylean theater can be illuminated by information on Athenian law athletic contests, relations with neighboring states, beliefs about the underworld, and countless other details of Hellenic life. Hogan clarifies terms that might puzzle modern readers, such as place names and mythological references, and gives special attention to textual and linguistic issues: controversial questions of interpretation; difficult or significant Greek words; use of style, rhetoric, and commonplaces in Greek poetry; and Aeschylus's place in the poetic tradition of Homer, Hesiod, and the elegiac poets. Practical information on staging and production is also included, as are maps and illustrations, a bibliography, indexes, and extensive cross-references between the seven plays. Forthcoming volumes will cover the works of Sophocles and Euripides.
"e;Do You Know...?"e;
￥211.90
Every night, somewhere in the world, three or four musicians will climb on stage together. Whether the gig is at a jazz club, a bar, or a bar mitzvah, the performance never begins with a note, but with a question. The trumpet player might turn to the bassist and ask, "e;Do you know 'Body and Soul'?"e;-and from there the subtle craft of playing the jazz repertoire is tested in front of a live audience. These ordinary musicians may never have played together-they may never have met-so how do they smoothly put on a show without getting booed offstage.In "e;Do You Know . . . ?"e; Robert R. Faulkner and Howard S. Becker-both jazz musicians with decades of experience performing-present the view from the bandstand, revealing the array of skills necessary for working musicians to do their jobs. While learning songs from sheet music or by ear helps, the jobbing musician's lexicon is dauntingly massive: hundreds of thousands of tunes from jazz classics and pop standards to more exotic fare. Since it is impossible for anyone to memorize all of these songs, Faulkner and Becker show that musicians collectively negotiate and improvise their way to a successful performance. Players must explore each others' areas of expertise, develop an ability to fake their way through unfamiliar territory, and respond to the unpredictable demands of their audience-whether an unexpected gang of polka fanatics or a tipsy father of the bride with an obscure favorite song."e;Do You Know . . . ?"e; dishes out entertaining stories and sharp insights drawn from the authors' own experiences and observations as well as interviews with a range of musicians. Faulkner and Becker's vivid, detailed portrait of the musician at work holds valuable lessons for anyone who has to think on the spot or under a spotlight.
Wittgenstein's Lectures on the Foundations of Mathematics, Cambridge, 1939
￥211.90
For several terms at Cambridge in 1939, Ludwig Wittgenstein lectured on the philosophical foundations of mathematics. A lecture class taught by Wittgenstein, however, hardly resembled a lecture.He sat on a chair in the middle of the room, with some of the class sitting in chairs, some on the floor. He never used notes. He paused frequently, sometimes for several minutes, while he puzzled out a problem. He often asked his listeners questions and reacted to their replies. Many meetings were largely conversation.These lectures were attended by, among others, D. A. T. Gasking, J. N. Findlay, Stephen Toulmin, Alan Turing, G. H. von Wright, R. G. Bosanquet, Norman Malcolm, Rush Rhees, and Yorick Smythies. Notes taken by these last four are the basis for the thirty-one lectures in this book.The lectures covered such topics as the nature of mathematics, the distinctions between mathematical and everyday languages, the truth of mathematical propositions, consistency and contradiction in formal systems, the logicism of Frege and Russell, Platonism, identity, negation, and necessary truth. The mathematical examples used are nearly always elementary.
Bewitching Development
￥211.90
These days, development inspires scant trust in the West. For critics who condemn centralized efforts to plan African societies as latter day imperialism,?such plans?too closely reflect their roots in colonial rule and neoliberal economics. But proponents of this pessimistic view often ignore how significant this concept has become for Africans themselves. In Bewitching Development, James Howard Smith presents a close ethnographic account of how people in the Taita Hills of Kenya have appropriated and made sense of development thought and practice, focusing on the complex ways that development connects with changing understandings of witchcraft.Similar to magic, development's promise of a better world elicits both hope and suspicion from Wataita. Smith shows that the unforeseen changes wrought by development-greater wealth for some, dashed hopes for many more-foster moral debates that Taita people express in occult terms. By carefully chronicling the beliefs and actions of this diverse community-from frustrated youths to nostalgic seniors, duplicitous preachers to thought-provoking witch doctors-BewitchingDevelopment vividly depicts the social life of formerly foreign ideas and practices in postcolonial Africa.
Loving Little Egypt
￥211.90
In the early 1920s, nearly blind physics prodigy Mourly Vold finds out how to tap into the nation's long distance telephone lines. With the help of Alexander Graham Bell, Vold tries to warn the phone companies that would-be saboteurs could do the same thing, but they ignore him. Unfortunately, his taps do catch the notice of William Randolph Hearst, who hires Thomas Edison to get to the bottom of them-and the chase is on!
How Does Analysis Cure?
￥211.90
The Austro-American psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut was one of the foremost leaders in his field and developed the school of self-psychology, which sets aside the Freudian explanations for behavior and looks instead at self/object relationships and empathy in order to shed light on human behavior. In How Does Analysis CureKohut presents the theoretical framework for self-psychology, and carefully lays out how the self develops over the course of time. Kohut also specifically defines healthy and unhealthy cases of Oedipal complexes and narcissism, while investigating the nature of analysis itself as treatment for pathologies. This in-depth examination of "e;the talking cure"e; explores the lesser studied phenomena of psychoanalysis, including when it is beneficial for analyses to be left unfinished, and the changing definition of "e;normal."e;An important work for working psychoanalysts, this book is important not only for psychologists, but also for anyone interested in the complex inner workings of the human psyche.
American Evangelicalism
￥211.90
Evangelicalism is one of the strongest religious traditions in America today; 20 million Americans identify themselves with the evangelical movement. Given the modern pluralistic world we live in, why is evangelicalism so popular?Based on a national telephone survey and more than three hundred personal interviews with evangelicals and other churchgoing Protestants, this study provides a detailed analysis of the commitments, beliefs, concerns, and practices of this thriving group. Examining how evangelicals interact with and attempt to influence secular society, this book argues that traditional, orthodox evangelicalism endures not despite, but precisely because of, the challenges and structures of our modern pluralistic environment. This work also looks beyond evangelicalism to explore more broadly the problems of traditional religious belief and practice in the modern world.With its impressive empirical evidence, innovative theory, and substantive conclusions, American Evangelicalism will provoke lively debate over the state of religious practice in contemporary America.
Nostalgia for the Future
￥211.90
Since the end of the cold war, Africa has seen a dramatic rise in new political and religious phenomena, including an eviscerated privatized state, neoliberal NGOs, Pentecostalism, a resurgence in accusations of witchcraft, a culture of scamming and fraud, and, in some countries, a nearly universal wish to emigrate. Drawing on fieldwork in Togo, Charles Piot suggests that a new biopolitics after state sovereignty is remaking the face of one of the world's poorest regions.In a country where playing the U.S. Department of State's green card lottery is a national pastime and the preponderance of cybercafs and Western Union branches signals a widespread desire to connect to the rest of the world, Nostalgia for the Future makes clear that the cultural and political terrain that underlies postcolonial theory has shifted. In order to map out this new terrain, Piot enters into critical dialogue with a host of important theorists, including Agamben, Hardt and Negri, Deleuze, and Mbembe. The result is a deft interweaving of rich observations of Togolese life with profound insights into the new, globalized world in which that life takes place.
