A Book of Britain: The Lore, Landscape and Heritage of a Treasured Countryside
A Book of Britain: The Lore, Landscape and Heritage of a Treasured Countryside
Johnny Scott
¥368.46
In this remarkable, landmark publication, countryman Sir Johnny Scott evokes all that is romantic about the British countryside, its people, customs and traditions. Over its 600 gloriously illustrated pages, Johnny draws on his wisdom and knowledge to reveal a forgotten culture, and encourages us all to rediscover a beautiful Britain. “I always think of nightingales when spring arrives in the south of England and winter is still reluctant to release its grip north of the Border. I heard my first as a very small child while staying with my grandparents on the Ashdown Forest. My sister woke me one night with an excited whisper, 'A nightingale! You must listen to the nightingale sing!' Together we sat on the window seat, gazing across moonlit lawns towards the forest. At that moment, as if nature had not already done enough to impress, the most wonderful sound I had ever heard filled the silence, as the nightingale started to sing. A rapid succession of varied, unconstructed notes, some harsh, some liquid, sung with great exuberance and vigour, changed to a long, slow, pleading song that rose in volume to a sudden piteous crescendo, before reverting to a tune of jollity and mirth. In my mind's eye I saw it erect and glowing, somewhere in the darkness among the oak trees, but no amount of searching that morning produced a single golden feather.” Throughout the pages of A Book of Britain, Johnny Scott celebrates the landscape and people and reveals why, through centuries of careful management, conservation and cultivation, Britain looks as it does. We discover Royal forests and protected oaks; learn animal behaviour and how best to observe wildlife whether on the moors or in your garden; we learn about traditional country sports from familiar hobbies such as fishing and shooting to lesser-known activities such as “swan upping”. Johnny teaches us to look to animals and nature to predict the weather, and reveals many customs and traditions that are in danger of being lost. This book is a gift in every sense – not only in its sheer scope and presence, but in the rich legacy it will leave behind for future generations.

¥368.00
《乾隆皇帝》是二月河创作之系列长篇历史小说,全书共分为6卷。第1卷为《乾隆皇帝·风华初露》。雍正猝死,乾隆继位,立志要创清王朝的极盛之世,主张“以宽为政”,纠正前朝的严刑苛政,平反错案,使杨名时、史贻直、孙嘉淦、张照等前朝受害者得以复出,重新授以要职,继续为朝廷效命。乾隆认为,粉饰来的太平,终究要露馅儿,他根本不相信一些奏折中的所谓“民殷富而乐业”的假话。为了深民间了解官风民情,他先后前往河南和山西太原微服私访,体察民间疾苦和官场实况,发现有才华的年轻人才,为整饬吏治、拔擢新人做到心中有数。整饬吏治首先惩治了一批贪官污吏。侵吞巨款、毒杀奉派前来清查的上级官员的德州知府刘康;大肆受贿的山西布政使萨哈谅;贿卖文武生员的山西学政喀尔钦等都被正法,受到严惩。乾隆有别于前朝的某些作为,有人非议,他们散布谣言炮制假奏折,把已发现有人咒骂皇上字迹的杨名时暗害致死,并企图通过所谓七司衙门掌握宿卫大权,而废掉乾隆。乾隆在获得准确情报后,果断地抓捕了从事阴谋活动的少数宗室子弟,除首恶分子永远圈禁外,余均从轻发落,一反前朝骨肉相残、大肆诛戮的做法,顺利清除了潜藏的隐患。第2卷为《乾隆皇帝·夕照空山》。壮年时的乾隆已基本完成父王遗志走向成熟。此时,他踌躇满志,锐意取,全力投创建清王朝的极盛之世的大业之中。他力排众议,恢复先祖创建的木兰秋狝以整饬军队;赈灾放粮,稳定民心,缉拿反贼,以防民变;用兵金川,以安社稷;勘查民情,以整顿政务;征借民间古籍,编纂旷古大书《四库全书》。 然而出兵大小金川,用兵无效,一败再败,庸臣误国,丧师辱君;缉拿反叛朝廷的首领“一枝花”行动屡次失利,而秘运65万军饷反被“一枝花”所劫;为编纂《四库全书》向民间士臣征借典籍又遭抵制。同时,富察皇后重疾垂危,皇七子染痘病死,皇宫内暗藏凶机。在这国事家事连连受挫之际,乾隆仍奋发上,坚忍不拔,为清王朝的极盛日夜勤政不息。第3卷为《乾隆皇帝·日落长河》。清廷十几万大军征剿金川反叛土司莎罗奔所率的三万余藏军,结果惨败,被迫达成屈辱蒙羞的城下之盟。乾隆忍痛诛戮主帅皇亲讷亲,另派军机处大臣傅恒再行征讨。还未抵达战区,傅恒即在地方欢迎仪式上险遭一群化装成苗家舞女的藏民刺杀。为避讷亲的杀忠饰过,“逃将”海兰察和兆惠,一在闹市锄暴救弱,一在牢中怒杀狱霸;皇家侍卫黄天霸手下和南京地方豪士较技夸能,其后又追捕易瑛为首的“一枝花”党徒。这些大小“武戏”故事,写来一波三折,悬念不断,扣人心弦。“文戏”则有刑部侍郎刘墉潜金陵,乔装私访大臣贪渎案件和“一枝花”党徒的行踪,协助确保乾隆出访江南的安全;新任两江总督、身携皇上密旨的尹继善,机敏果断,计扣大贪污犯、“国舅爷”高恒;不识时务、老而贪得的三朝元老张廷玉突然失宠、自取斥辱;无耻官员不惜献出妻妾取悦上宪,以图晋升;军机大臣纪昀以脚板皮作饺子馅戏弄巴结攀附者;曹雪芹故交敦诚、敦敏深怀旧情,探访雪芹遗孀,等等,读来也都兴味盎然又给人启迪。诸多人物的个性,如乾隆皇帝的聪察,喜欢识见超卓的能员,但又要显示自己高出一头的自矜,欲做文治武功完人的奢想;刑部尚书刘统勋的勤勉恭谨;有诸葛风的傅恒的深沉智虑、雍容雅量;纪昀的应对机敏,博学多智;兆惠的严肃刚直,海兰察的粗中有细;莎罗奔的富于谋略;以及讷亲的志大才疏、刚愎自用,高恒的荒淫、贪婪等,都在大大小小的“武戏”“文戏”中得到鲜明丰满的表现。第4卷为《乾隆皇帝·天步维艰》。乾隆皇帝巡幸江南,傅恒用兵大小金川,本卷围绕这两条主要线索,铺陈了壮年乾隆的文治武功,塑造了刘统勋、纪昀、傅恒、窦光鼐等一批官员的形象,刻画出了棠儿、朵云等或刚强或柔弱的众多女子。乾隆巡幸江南,歌舞升平景象背后,时见饥盗为患,贪渎滋生。女教主“一枝花”余党流窜山东,少年福康安与刘墉以钦差大臣身份运筹谋划一举擒魁。甘肃总督勒尔瑾、王亶望与通省官员上下其手,民不聊生,弘昼、和珅、阿桂微服私访,密折弹劾封疆大吏。然而,和珅历难时运初交,贪渎之心初露。傅恒身为宰辅,御命大小金川用兵,急欲雪耻荡平莎罗奔合族军民。莎罗奔之妻藏族女子朵云闯京师劫人质,江南又邂逅乾隆。终遂其所愿,乾隆派岳钟麒阵前宣旨,大小金川罢兵。朵云身负重任,视死如归,巾帼豪气跃然纸上。该卷情节承上启下,独立成卷又相对统一,保持了作家一贯的艺术特色。第5卷为《乾隆皇帝·云暗凤阙》。正如年逾耳顺的乾隆无法抗拒自己身体的衰疲一样,走过了中国封建社会*后一个鼎盛之世的乾隆王朝也已日显老态,虽然表面上还维持着锦衣玉食,歌舞升平,其实却已矛盾四起,危机四伏。官吏贪贿淫逸,百姓食不果腹,盗匪蜂起作乱,边境日益不宁……面对“按下葫芦起了瓢”的尴尬时局,乾隆一如既往,竭尽全力,宵旰勤政。他重用阿桂、于敏中、刘墉、李侍尧、和等为肱股大臣,弥补因傅恒、尹继善病逝带来的权力真空,着力整顿政务军务内务:惩国贪,济万民;定西域,靖匪患;历练王子,清理内宫……但是迫于情势,乾隆往往也不得不投鼠忌器,只能就事论事,到而止。更可怕的是,由于他用人独持己见,一意孤行,导致奸臣和珅始扶摇直上,窃居高位,埋下了巨大的祸根。二月河在本卷中保持了其一贯的艺术风格。将封建宫廷官场的权谋机诈刻画得淋漓尽致,木三分;叙述故事绘声绘色,惟妙惟肖;构织情节跌宕起伏,波谲云诡;语言则有《红楼》之韵,拟古之美,读来口齿生香。第6卷为《乾隆皇帝·秋声紫苑》。乾隆晚年,烽火迭连,四川的大小金川土司、新疆的和卓木霍集占、盘据在尼泊尔边境的廓尔喀、台湾的林爽文等相继叛乱;直隶湖广等地,白莲教、天地会……民变此起彼伏。连年征战,国库空虚。而朝廷以和珅为代表的佞臣,一面媚主,投乾隆之所好,一面以保举地方官等办法,结成盘根错节的关系网,黑手伸向各省州府。和珅在建造圆明园的督工中,中饱大量银子。山东巡抚贿赂和珅的70万两均来自民脂民膏,平邑县的饥民们只得上龟蒙顶当土匪。和珅的爪牙把铜运至海边走私,连船卖给日本。诸如此类案件层出不穷,因有乾隆的偏袒,和珅手段的隐蔽毒辣,难以破案。他们还陷害忠良,查案人钱沣被毒死于半路,连纪晓岚也被充军新疆。但是,作为一代英主的乾隆,自己警觉年事太高,精力不济,秋声萧萧,黄叶待落,必须物色太子人选。以十五阿哥颙琰*受青睐。本书就从颙琰去各地历练始,写至乾隆85岁那年将帝位禅让给儿子颙琰,是为嘉庆。本书有两条主线:一是雄姿英发天生帅才的福康安及名将兆惠、海兰察等,他们连年征战在外,保住了乾隆的江山和版图的完整;二是奸佞贪婪胁肩谄笑的和珅,他像阴影一样伴随着乾隆的晚年。

Michael Oakeshott
Michael Oakeshott
Oakeshott, Michael
¥367.78
From the 1920s to the 1980s Oakeshott filled dozens of notebooks with his private reflections, both personal and intellectual. Their contents range from aphorisms to miniature essays, forming a unique record of his intellectual trajectory over his entire career. This volume makes them accessible in print for the first time, drawing together a host of his previously inaccessible observations on politics, philosophy, art, education, and much else besides. Religion in particular emerges as an ongoing concern for him in a way that is not visible from his published works.The notebooks also provide a unique source of insight into Oakeshott's musings on life, thanks to the hitherto unsuspected existence of the series of 'Belle Dame' notebooks that were written in the late 1920s and early 1930s but which only came to light two decades after his death. At the same period in which he was developing the concepts that would form Experience and its Modes, Oakeshott's personal life lead him to reflect extensively on love and death, themes that highlight his enduring romantic affinities.Accompanied by an original editorial introduction, the volume allows readers to see for themselves exactly which works Oakeshott used in compiling each of his notebooks, providing a much clearer record of his intellectual influences than has previously been available. It will be an essential addition to the library of his works for all those interested in his ideas.

Great Paleolithic War
Great Paleolithic War
Meltzer, David J.
¥365.93
Following the discovery in Europe in the late 1850s that humanity had roots predating known history and reaching deep into the Pleistocene era, scientists wondered whether North American prehistory might be just as ancient. And why notThe geological strata seemed exactly analogous between America and Europe, which would lead one to believe that North American humanity ought to be as old as the European variety. This idea set off an eager race for evidence of the people who might have occupied North America during the Ice Age-a long, and, as it turned out, bitter and controversial search.?In The Great Paleolithic War, David J. Meltzer tells the story of a scientific quest that set off one of the longest-running feuds in the history of American anthropology, one so vicious at times that anthropologists were deliberately frightened away from investigating potential sites. Through his book, we come to understand how and why this controversy developed and stubbornly persisted for as long as it did; and how, in the process, it revolutionized American archaeology.
Second Birth
Second Birth
Schabert, Tilo
¥365.93
Most scholars link the origin of politics to the formation of human societies, but in this innovative work, Tilo Schabert takes it even further back: to our very births. Drawing on mythical, philosophical, religious, and political thought from around the globe-including America, Europe, the Middle East, and China-The Second Birth proposes a transhistorical and transcultural theory of politics rooted in political cosmology. With impressive erudition, Schabert explores the physical fundamentals of political life, unveiling a profound new insight: our bodies actually teach us politics.?Schabert traces different figurations of power inherent to our singular existence, things such as numbers, time, thought, and desire, showing how they render our lives political ones-and, thus, how politics exists in us individually, long before it plays a role in the establishment of societies and institutions. Through these figurations of power, Schabert argues, we learn how to institute our own government within the political forces that already surround us-to create our own world within the one into which we have been born. In a stunning vision of human agency, this book ultimately sketches a political cosmos in which we are all builders, in which we can be at once political and free.?
Capital and Interest
Capital and Interest
Hayek, F. A.
¥365.93
Produced throughout the first fifteen years of Hayek's career, the writings collected in Capital and Interest see Hayek elaborate upon and extend his landmark lectures that were published as Prices and Production and work toward the technically sophisticated line of thought seen in his later Pure Theory of Capital. Illuminating the development of Hayek's detailed contributions to capital and interest theory, the collection also sheds light on how Hayek's work related to other influential economists of the time. Highlights include the 1936 article "e;The Mythology of Capital"e;-presented here alongside Frank Knight's criticisms of the Austrian theory of capital that prompted it-and "e;The Maintenance of Capital,"e; with subsequent comments by the English economist A. C. Pigou. These and other familiar works are accompanied by lesser-known articles and lectures, including a lecture on technological progress and excess capacity. An introduction by the book's editor, leading Hayek scholar Lawrence H. White, places Hayek's contributions in careful historical context, with ample footnotes and citations for further reading, making this a touchstone addition to the University of Chicago Press's Collected Works of F. A. Hayek series.
On Hysteria
On Hysteria
Arnaud, Sabine
¥365.93
These days, hysteria is known as a discredited diagnosis that was used to group and pathologize a wide range of conditions and behaviors in women. But for a long time, it was seen as a legitimate category of medical problem-and one that, originally, was applied to men as often as to women.In On Hysteria, Sabine Arnaud traces the creation and rise of hysteria, from its invention in the eighteenth century through nineteenth-century therapeutic practice. Hysteria took shape, she shows, as a predominantly aristocratic malady, only beginning to cross class boundaries (and be limited to women) during the French Revolution. Unlike most studies of the role and status of medicine and its categories in this period, On Hysteria focuses not on institutions but on narrative strategies and writing-the ways that texts in a wide range of genres helped to build knowledge through misinterpretation and recontextualized citation.Powerfully interdisciplinary, and offering access to rare historical material for the first time in English, On Hysteria will speak to scholars in a wide range of fields, including the history of science, French studies, and comparative literature.
