It was created to solve the dilemma between high-level, slow code with minimal control over the system, and low-level, fast code with maximum system control. It is no longer necessary to learn C/C++ to develop resource intensive and low-level systems applications. This book will give you a head start to solve systems programming and application tasks with Rust. We start off with an argumentation of Rust's unique place in today's landscape of programming languages. You'll install Rust and learn how to work with its package manager Cargo. The various concepts are introduced step by step: variables, types, functions, and control structures to lay the groundwork. Then we explore more structured data such as strings, arrays, and enums, and you'll see how pattern matching works. Throughout all this, we stress the unique ways of reasoning that the Rust compiler uses to produce safe code. Next we look at Rust's specific way of error handling, and the overall importance of traits in Rust code. The pillar of memory safety is treated in depth as we explore the various pointer kinds. Next, you'll see how macros can simplify code generation, and how to compose bigger projects with modules and crates.

John Grote struggled to construct an intelligible account of philosophy at a time when radical change and sectarian conflict made understanding and clarity a rarity. This book answers three questions:* How did John Grote develop and contribute to modern Cambridge and British philosophy?* What is the significance of these contributions to modern philosophy in general and British Idealism and language philosophy in particular?* How were his ideas and his idealism incorporated into the modern philosophical tradition?Grote influenced his contemporaries, such as his students Henry Sidgwick and John Venn, in both style and content; he forged a brilliantly original philosophy of knowledge, ethics, politics and language, from a synthesis of the major British and European philosophies of his day; his social and political theory provide the origins of the 'new liberal' ideas later to reach their zenith in the writings of Green, Sidgwick, and Collingwood; he founded the 'Cambridge style' associated with Moore, Russell, Broad, McTaggart and Wittgenstein; and he was also a major influence on Oakeshott.

《中国的宗教：儒教与道教》是韦伯在宗教社会学上的第二本主要著作，与《新教伦理与资本主义精神》同属于三大卷本的《宗教社会学论文集》首卷。在本书中，韦伯专注于探索中国社会里那些与西欧不同的地方，以此突显西方基督教文明的特色，并且提出了一个问题：为什么资本主义没有在中国发展呢？韦伯所着手探讨的对象，特别是中国与印度，都是既庞大复杂又源远流长的文化体。身为西欧近代文明之子的韦伯遂以“理性化”作为其研究世界各大文化的“利器”。他的着眼在于：宗教与社会其他层面、理念与利益在人类文明的整体发展上究竟有着什么样的互动关系，在种种互动关系下呈现出怎样的理性内涵。韦伯在本书中分析了中国的国家、法律、城市、行会、士人阶层、正统礼教、异端信仰等，无非是想借此构筑出：中国人想的是什么、做出来的又是什么，以及所想与所做之间的关系。而儒教官绅知识阶层，在韦伯所构筑的传统中国历史舞台上，展现出使中国整体文明与西方文明大相径庭的坚实活力。

《战争与沉迷》内容简介：二战期间，一小队被称为“轰炸机黑手党”的乌托邦式的空军战略家试图通过精确轰炸赢得大战，在充分研究了全新技术设备诺登投弹瞄准器后，他们认定在白天实施只针对敌方特定重要基础设施的轰炸会起作用。然而事与愿违，数次行动失败后，战局失控。随后军方高层下令更换指挥官，新指挥官李梅实施了与前任指挥官汉塞尔截然相反的区域轰炸战略，在凝固汽油弹的帮助下，李梅共轰炸了日本的67座城市，但由于轰炸造成的伤亡惨重，李梅的行为引起极 大争议。 这是一个关于理想主义、实用主义、技术创新和不可估量的战争代价的故事。在书中，格拉德威尔肯定了李梅的贡献，其方式虽然粗暴，但缩短了战争持续的时间，在某种程度上可谓避免了更大的代价，让所有人更快地重新拥有和平与繁荣。以汉塞尔为代表的“轰炸机黑手党”虽未获得成功，但格拉德威尔用大量篇幅描述并称赞了其对梦想、创新和科技的坚持，将其视为道德典范。没有坚持，原则便没有意义。汉塞尔是一个典型的堂吉诃德式人物，他的行为生动地给读者展示出好的意图为何事与愿违。格拉德威尔引出的是一个道德判断与事实判断的哲学问题，考验的是道德与人性。 《眨眼之间（全新修订中文版）》内容简介：有人听一对夫妇交谈15分钟，就能预测他们未来会不会离婚 有人在网球与球拍接触之前，就能断定这次发球是不是双误 有人在掀掉盖布的一刻，就能辨识一尊古代雕像的真假 生活中的决策，无论好坏，我们到底是如何做成的？为什么有些人的决策能力令人称绝，而其他人却错误频出？ 我们身处的社会笃信这样一种观念：在面对重大问题时，只有尽可能多地汇集信息，尽可能多地花时间思考，我们才能得到更好的结果。在孩提时期，我们就被反复灌输“欲速则不达”“三思而后行”“人不可貌相”等理念。 但在《眨眼之间》中，格拉德威尔通过“闪电约会”“二战秘密破译”等若干有趣的心理学案例，打破你对“决策”这件事的固有认知：那些一拍脑袋做出的决定或是脱口而出的想法，反而更加精准和深刻，我们在眨眼之间做出的决策，比三思而后行或许更具大师水准。在许多情形下，瞬间决断和 一印象反而是我们理解世界的更好途径。 读完《眨眼之间》，你将有柳暗花明之感，学会运用直觉思维，不管识人还是做事，都能在眨眼之间做出成功决策。 《逆转：弱者如何反败为胜（全新修订中文版）》内容简介：3000年前，巨人歌利亚与牧童大卫在以拉山谷展开决斗，在巨大力量悬殊之下，大卫战胜了歌利亚。在外人看来，大卫的胜利是不可思议的…… 《逆转》一书从《圣经》故事开始，讲述了多个真实的案例：班级规模导致的不同教育结果、印象派画家的崛起、儿童白血病治疗的突破、谋杀和复仇的高昂代价、黑人民权运动的成就……所有这些都在证明，我们误读了弱者和巨人之间的战争，低估了那些看似是劣势的东西的发展空间。困境和痛苦之中，常常蕴含着巨大的力量，弱者在颠覆局面时，可以找到自身的优势。 这是一本描述普通人如何面对巨人的书。这里的“巨人”指的是各种强大的对手，包括*、勇士、掌权者，也包括工作困境、学业困惑、身体的缺陷等人生的不幸和苦恼。在书中，格拉德威尔颠覆了自己的写作习惯，开始关注弱者，通过深层次的心理学分析，来重塑我们对强弱的看法。从3大视角指引弱者发挥聪明才智，重新思考弱点的真正内涵，从而以弱胜强，获得成功。 《大开眼界（全新修订中文版）》内容简介：航班上，坐在你身边的那些不同职业、不同经历的人，他们脑子里在想什么？他们眼中的世界是什么样子？他们的成功故事里隐藏着哪些有趣的细节和独到的经验？ 他可能是一名烤箱销售员，刚凭优秀口才创下业绩新高； 他可能是一名基金经理，刚发现一种新型交易策略； 他可能是一位小说作家，刚出版了一本畅销书； 他可能是一名人事主管，刚总结出一套精准的识人方法。 只站在自己的视角，面前一直是一种风景；换上另一个人的眼睛，看到的世界将大不相同。有时候，我们从周围的“天才型小人物”而非触不可及的伟人身上能获得更多启发。 在《大开眼界》里，通过19双锐利的眼睛，用19种新奇的角度，发现世界运行的19个秘密。 《异类：不一样的成功启示录》内容简介：·为什么英超球员大多出生在9—11月？ ·为什么比尔·盖茨和乔布斯都出生在1955年？ ·为什么纽约律师事务所的开创者都是犹太人后裔？ ·为什么20世纪90年代大韩航空空难频发？ ·为什么中国人普遍擅长数学？ …… 成功不是随机事件，天才的成功并非仅仅源于个人努力，出生日期、家庭背景、族裔传统、文化差异……都在帮助特定领域的“异类”走向成功。如果没有这些优势，即便智商超过爱因斯坦，也只能做一份平庸的工作。 《异类》带给我们关于成功的不一样的9大启示，帮助我们追溯成功的根源，发现更深刻的成功契机，找到成功背后“不可思议”的必然性。 《引爆点（第五版）》内容简介：为什么突然间人们都在玩同一款游戏，看同一部剧，穿同一款球鞋？ “传染性”不只用于形容疾病，任何一种产品、思想、信息和行为都具有传染效力，可以像病毒一样暴发式传播。量变达到临界水平而迎来质变的戏剧性时刻，就是一个“引爆点”。 看似偶然的流行现象，其实有章可循。在《引爆点》中，格拉德威尔剖析了时尚风潮、商业广告、吸烟现象、儿童电视节目等社会流行潮，将“流行”抽丝剥茧，总结为三个黄金法则：个别人物法则、附着力因素法则、环境威力法则。“引爆点”这个词，也因为本书成了商业世界的常用词语。 我们周围的世界看上去似乎雷打不动，但只要你找到那个点，轻轻一触，它就有可能倾斜。用好《引爆点》的流行三法则，你也可以制造一场流行。 《陌生人效应》内容简介：张伯伦两次面见希特勒，都错误解读了后者的“意图”，间接导致第二次世界大战的爆发。 庞氏骗局一开始就为人所怀疑，但人们为何没有一查到底，而是付出了惨痛的“社交成本”呢？ 面部的FACS 系统表明，肌肉并非总能按照内心的想法表达，所以只看“表情”你很难判断对方的“情绪”。 法官在判决的时候如何才能公正，是否应该尽可能少地了解与案件无关的“偏见信息”？ 人的一生中，除了血缘和宗族关系，绝大部分“社交关系”都是与陌生人建立起来的。从进化角度而言，在与陌生人初次接触时，人们都会产生一种“天然感觉”——是放松还是谨慎，敌对还是友好。 但研究表明，这种印象并不准确，甚至是危险的！ 因此，如何聪明地处理与陌生人的关系，成为每个人一生中必须掌握的技能。 格拉德威尔在这本书中提出了3 大原则，12 个“陌生人效应”。用十余个真实案例，告诉我们如何吸取人际关系的普遍教训。无论是在亲密关系、工作关系、商务关系、谈判关系中，做个清醒决策的聪明人。
