Good Fences, Bad Neighbors
￥282.53
Border fixity-the pro*ion of foreign conquest and the annexation of homeland territory-has, since World War II, become a powerful norm in world politics. This development has been said to increase stability and peace in international relations. Yet, in a world in which it is unacceptable to challenge international borders by force, sociopolitically weak states remain a significant source of widespread conflict, war, and instability.In this book, Boaz Atzili argues that the process of state building has long been influenced by external territorial pressures and competition, with the absence of border fixity contributing to the evolution of strong states-and its presence to the survival of weak ones. What results from this norm, he argues, are conditions that make internal conflict and the spillover of interstate war more likely. Using a comparison of historical and contemporary case studies, Atzili sheds light on the relationship between state weakness and conflict. His argument that under some circumstances an international norm that was established to preserve the peace may actually create conditions that are ripe for war is sure to generate debate and shed light on the dynamics of continuing conflict in the twenty-first century.
Neighborhood That Never Changes
￥282.53
Newcomers to older neighborhoods are usually perceived as destructive, tearing down everything that made the place special and attractive. But as A Neighborhood That Never Changes demonstrates, many gentrifiers seek to preserve the authentic local flavor of their new homes, rather than ruthlessly remake them. Drawing on ethnographic research in four distinct communities-the Chicago neighborhoods of Andersonville and Argyle and the New England towns of Provincetown and Dresden-Japonica Brown-Saracino paints a colorful portrait of how residents new and old, from wealthy gay homeowners to Portuguese fishermen, think about gentrification.The new breed of gentrifiers, Brown-Saracino finds, exhibits an acute self-consciousness about their role in the process and works to minimize gentrification's risks for certain longtime residents. In an era of rapid change, they cherish the unique and fragile, whether a dilapidated house, a two-hundred-year-old landscape, or the presence of people deeply rooted in the place they live. Contesting many long-standing assumptions about gentrification, Brown-Saracino's absorbing study reveals the unexpected ways beliefs about authenticity, place, and change play out in the social, political, and economic lives of very different neighborhoods.
Solidarity in Strategy
￥282.53
Popular conceptions hold that capitalism is driven almost entirely by the pursuit of profit and self-interest. Challenging that assumption, this major new study of American business associations shows how market and non-market relations are actually profoundly entwined at the heart of capitalism.In Solidarity in Strategy, Lyn Spillman draws on rich documentary archives and a comprehensive data set of more than four thousand trade associations from diverse and obscure corners of commercial life to reveal a busy and often surprising arena of American economic activity. From the Intelligent Transportation Society to the American Gem Trade Association, Spillman explains how business associations are more collegial than cutthroat, and how they make capitalist action meaningful not only by developing shared ideas about collective interests but also by articulating a disinterested solidarity that transcends those interests.Deeply grounded in both economic and cultural sociology, Solidarity in Strategy provides rich, lively, and often surprising insights into the world of business, and leads us to question some of our most fundamental assumptions about economic life and how cultural context influences economic.
Lonesome Roads and Streets of Dreams
￥282.53
Any listener knows the power of music to define a place, but few can describe the how or why of this phenomenon. In?Lonesome Roads and Streets of Dreams: Place, Mobility, and Race in Jazz of the 1930s and '40s, Andrew Berish attempts to right this wrong, showcasing how American jazz defined a culture particularly preoccupied with place. By analyzing both the performances and cultural context of leading jazz figures, including the many famous venues where they played, Berish bridges two dominant scholarly approaches to the genre, offering not only a new reading of swing era jazz but an entirely new framework for musical analysis in general, one that examines how the geographical realities of daily life can be transformed into musical sound.?Focusing on white bandleader Jan Garber, black bandleader Duke Ellington, white saxophonist Charlie Barnet, and black guitarist Charlie Christian, as well as traveling from Catalina Island to Manhattan to Oklahoma City,?Lonesome?Roads?and Streets of Dreams?depicts not only a geography of race but how this geography was disrupted, how these musicians crossed physical and racial boundaries-from black to white, South to North, and rural to urban-and how they found expression for these movements in the insistent music they were creating. ?
Punitive Damages
￥282.53
Over the past two decades, the United States has seen a dramatic increase in the number and magnitude of punitive damages verdicts rendered by juries in civil trials. Probably the most extraordinary example is the July 2000 award of $144.8 billion in the Florida class action lawsuit brought against cigarette manufacturers. Or consider two recent verdicts against the auto manufacturer BMW in Alabama. In identical cases, argued in the same court before the same judge, one jury awarded $4 million in punitive damages, while the other awarded no punitive damages at all. In cases involving accidents, civil rights, and the environment, multimillion-dollar punitive awards have been a subject of intense controversy.But how do juries actually make decisions about punitive damagesTo find out, the authors-experts in psychology, economics, and the law-present the results of controlled experiments with more than 600 mock juries involving the responses of more than 8,000 jury-eligible citizens. Although juries tended to agree in their moral judgments about the defendant's conduct, they rendered erratic and unpredictable dollar awards. The experiments also showed that instead of moderating juror verdicts, the process of jury deliberation produced a striking "severity shift" toward ever-higher awards. Jurors also tended to ignore instructions from the judges; were influenced by whatever amount the plaintiff happened to request; showed "hindsight bias," believing that what happened should have been foreseen; and penalized corporations that had based their decisions on careful cost-benefit analyses. While judges made many of the same errors, they performed better in some areas, suggesting that judges (or other specialists) may be better equipped than juries to decide punitive damages.Using a wealth of new experimental data, and offering a host of provocative findings, this book documents a wide range of systematic biases in jury behavior. It will be indispensable for anyone interested not only in punitive damages, but also jury behavior, psychology, and how people think about punishment.
Catholic Social Imagination
￥282.53
The reach of the Catholic Church is arguably greater than that of any other religion, extending across diverse political, ethnic, class, and cultural boundaries. But what is it about Catholicism that resonates so profoundly with followers who live under disparate conditionsWhat is it, for instance, that binds parishioners in America with those in MexicoFor Joseph M. Palacios, what unites Catholics is a sense of being Catholic-a social imagination that motivates them to promote justice and build a better world.In The Catholic Social Imagination, Palacios gives readers a feeling for what it means to be Catholic and put one's faith into action. Tracing the practices of a group of parishioners in Oakland, California, and another in Guadalajara, Mexico, Palacios reveals parallels-and contrasts-in the ways these ordinary Catholics receive and act on a church doctrine that emphasizes social justice. Whether they are building a supermarket for the low-income elderly or waging protests to promote school reform, these parishioners provide important insights into the construction of the Catholic social imagination. Throughout, Palacios also offers important new cultural and sociological interpretations of Catholic doctrine on issues such as poverty, civil and human rights, political participation, and the natural law.
Community Built on Words
￥282.53
H. Jefferson Powell offers a powerful new approach to one of the central issues in American constitutional thinking today: the problem of constitutional law's historicity, or the many ways in which constitutional arguments and outcomes are shaped both by historical circumstances and by the political goals and commitments of various actors, including judges. The presence of such influences is often considered highly problematic: if constitutional law is political and historical through and through, then what differentiates it from politics per se, and what gives it integrity and coherencePowell argues that constitutional theory has as its (sometimes hidden) agenda the ambition of showing how constitutional law can escape from history and politics, while much constitutional history seeks to identify an historically true meaning of the constitutional text that, once uncovered, can serve as a corrective to subsequent deviations from that truth.Combining history and theory, Powell analyzes a series of constitutional controversies from 1790 to 1944 to demonstrate that constitutional law from its very beginning has involved politically charged and ideologically divisive arguments. Nowhere in our past can one find the golden age of apolitical constitutional thinking that a great deal of contemporary scholarship seeks or presupposes. Viewed over time, American constitutional law is a history of political dispute couched in constitutional terms.Powell then takes his conclusions one step further, claiming that it is precisely this historical tradition of argument that has given American constitutional law a remarkable coherence and integrity over time. No matter what the particular political disputes of the day might be, constitutional argument has provided a shared language through which our political community has been able to fight out its battles without ultimately fracturing.A Community Built on Words will be must reading for any student of constitutional history, theory, or law.
Switching Codes
￥282.53
Half a century into the digital era, the profound impact of information technology on intellectual and cultural life is universally acknowledged but still poorly understood. The sheer complexity of the technology coupled with the rapid pace of change makes it increasingly difficult to establish common ground and to promote thoughtful discussion.?Responding to this challenge, Switching Codes?brings together leading American and European scholars, scientists, and artists-including Charles Bernstein, Ian Foster, Bruno Latour, Alan Liu, and Richard Powers-to consider how the precipitous growth of digital information and its associated technologies are transforming the ways we think and act. Employing a wide range of forms, including essay, dialogue, short fiction, and game design, this book aims to model and foster discussion between IT specialists, who typically have scant training in the humanities or traditional arts, and scholars and artists, who often understand little about the technologies that are so radically transforming their fields. Switching Codes?will be an indispensable volume for anyone seeking to understand the impact of digital technology on contemporary culture, including scientists, educators, policymakers, and artists, alike.
The Cybernetic Brain
￥282.53
Cybernetics is often thought of as a grim military or industrial science of control. But as Andrew Pickering reveals in this beguiling book, a much more lively and experimental strain of cybernetics can be traced from the 1940s to the present.The Cybernetic Brain explores a largely forgotten group of British thinkers, including Grey Walter, Ross Ashby, Gregory Bateson, R. D. Laing, Stafford Beer, and Gordon Pask, and their singular work in a dazzling array of fields. Psychiatry, engineering, management, politics, music, architecture, education, tantric yoga, the Beats, and the sixties counterculture all come into play as Pickering follows the history of cybernetics' impact on the world, from contemporary robotics and complexity theory to the Chilean economy under Salvador Allende. What underpins this fascinating history, Pickering contends, is a shared but unconventional vision of the world as ultimately unknowable, a place where genuine novelty is always emerging. And thus, Pickering avers, the history of cybernetics provides us with an imaginative model of open-ended experimentation in stark opposition to the modern urge to achieve domination over nature and each other.
Pockets of Crime
￥282.53
Why, even in the same high-crime neighborhoods, do robbery, drug dealing, and assault occur much more frequently on some blocks than on othersOne popular theory is that a weak sense of community among neighbors can create conditions more hospitable for criminals, and another proposes that neighborhood disorder-such as broken windows and boarded-up buildings-makes crime more likely. But in his innovative new study, Peter K. B. St. Jean argues that we cannot fully understand the impact of these factors without considering that, because urban space is unevenly developed, different kinds of crimes occur most often in locations that offer their perpetrators specific advantages.Drawing on Chicago Police Department statistics and extensive interviews with both law-abiding citizens and criminals in one of the city's highest-crime areas, St. Jean demonstrates that drug dealers and robbers, for example, are primarily attracted to locations with businesses like liquor stores, fast food restaurants, and check-cashing outlets. By accounting for these important factors of spatial positioning, he expands upon previous research to provide the most comprehensive explanation available of why crime occurs where it does.

贾雷德·戴蒙德作品集(套装共4册)
￥282.10
《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》内容简介： 文明的先发与落后，社会的发展与倒退等问题，一直是人类关注的大议题。就此，西方社会普遍认为西方国家先进的技术、完善的社会阶层、百花齐放的文化成果，共同造就了西方文明优于其他，并决定了西方统治世界的地位，甚至认为究其根本是西方种族的优越性决定的。《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》告诉我们，答案并非如此。环境因素才是决定历史的车轮向西方倾斜倾，文明的进步的确助推了文化、技术和组织的先发，但同时也导致了细菌的侵袭和船坚利炮对文明的致命摧毁，也就是说，种族决定论和西方文明优势论都无法解释为什么西方国家可以统治世界百年之久。是环境与资源的优渥滋养了西方文明的发展。 此外，戴蒙德从生物学、地理学、历史学、社会学、人类学等跨学科视角颠覆了很多人们习以为常的社会发展疑问，为我们理解人类历史提供了崭新的视角。从深耕专业领域的科学家，到关注人类社会与命运的思想者，戴蒙德从科学、历史、社会的交叉点探究地理、人类与未来，他在某种程度上代表了西方公共知识分子传统的转向——从专业性转向思想性，他依仗多学科的视角和丰富的游历经验，追思人类历史的发展路径，从中寻找经验与教训，试图为人类社会未来的发展提供建议。 《崩溃》内容简介：本书所说的“崩溃”，是指某一人类社会在相当长一段时间内，人口急剧减少，政治、经济、社会复杂程度骤降，终至瓦解。这在人类历史上并不罕见，许多壮丽的文明遗址引发幽古之思，人们在抚今追昔时，不免产生疑问：为什么有些社会得以繁荣延续，有些社会却走向衰亡，*终湮没在历史长河中？ 为了回答这个问题，在本书中，戴蒙德延续其思考框架，聚焦生态环境与人类文明的关系。在比较历史研究的视野下，戴蒙德以自己熟悉的美国蒙大拿州作为引子，纵向比较了复活节岛、玛雅文明、格陵兰岛的维京社会、德川幕府时期的日本等过去社会的兴衰存亡，又横向分析了卢旺达、海地与多米尼加、中国、澳大利亚等现代社会的发展与困境。这些文明社会面临着相似的危机——在污染、瘟疫、战争、饥荒的背后，千疮百孔的生态环境是社会走向败亡的大前奏，而不同社会应对环境问题的选择决定了它们迥异的结局。基于此，生态环境如何影响人类社会的命运这一议题，从一个宏大模糊的背景角色走到前台的聚焦点下，一些从前历史研究所忽略的关键信息被提取出来，重塑了人们对社会发展的认知。 今天，现代社会同样面临危机——人口压力、全球性的环境破坏，地区性的崩溃可能会迅速向全世界蔓延。经济发展与环境保护是否不可兼得？戴蒙德为我们敲响警钟：我们对这一问题的理解与抉择将决定当今社会的兴盛或衰落。 《昨日之前的世界（第二版）》内容简介：传统社会对现代社会来说意味着什么？是充满冲突与混乱的蛮夷之地，还是尽享田园生活的世外桃源？但无论如何它离我们并不遥远，而且潜移默化地影响着现代社会人们的生活方式。传统部族社会的社会实践要比现代国家社会更久远，它在如何组织一个人类社会的问题上，已经进行了成千上万次自然的实验。普利策奖得主贾雷德?戴蒙德在新书《昨日之前的世界》中就一探传统社会的生活方式能为现代社会带来哪些启示。在新几内亚部落生活了近50年的戴蒙德通过对部落社会生存环境、生活习俗、行事方式的观察、记录来剖析人类社会的演进，这本书就是他多年研究的结晶。 戴蒙德在书中再次展现了他知识的广度与深度，从人类学、社会学、语言学、生理学、营养学和演化生物学等角度剖析区域划分、战争冲突、人际关系、养育孩子、对待老人、应对危机、宗教信仰、语言习得、健康膳食这9个方面，全 面、生动地展现了传统社会*核心的生活方式。这9个代表传统社会的小切面也同样主宰着今日世界，因此，值得生活在现代社会的我们参考和借鉴。 伴随着科技的高速发展，现代人往往在快节奏的生活中迷失了自我，人际关系疏远、社会分配不公、愤世情绪高涨、社会冲突不断、身体亚健康、盲目崇拜流行文化等问题已成为现代社会的桎梏，在这一背景下，我们应该回顾人类祖先的原始生活方式，追溯那些曾经帮助人类完善自我、建立文明与有序社会的良好根基，而这就是“昨日之前的世界”。相信每个想要关心人类社会演变历史和未来趋势的读者都不会错过《昨日之前的世界》。 《剧变（第二版）》内容简介：《剧变》是一部恰逢其时的巨作。在个人与国家都对未来充满迷茫，危机接踵而至的当下，普利策奖得主、《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》作者贾雷德·戴蒙德再一次回归历史，尝试解答危机应对这一关乎人类未来的重要命题。 对个人而言，危机可以改变一个人的成长轨迹，如处理不当，个人终其一生会生活在负面情绪中。对整个人类社会而言，危机可使一种文明没落，使一个国家解体，使一个时代终结。但在戴蒙德看来，二者并无差异，国家甚至可以借鉴个人化解危机的逻辑框架以实现自救。就此，戴蒙德再一次跳脱了自然科学与社会科学互设的知识壁垒，重建自然状态与文明秩序相融的历史叙事线索，巡礼7个案例国家的危机应对历史。他以一位社会观察者的自谦视角，从社会学、心理学、政治学、经济学、进化生物学等多学科出发，给出了“危机应对12个步骤”： 1． 直面危机 2． 主动承担责任 3． 明确问题的边界 4． 寻求帮助 5． 借鉴榜样 6． 自我力量/国家认同 7． 诚实自我评估 8． 应对危机的过往经验 9． 耐心 10. 自身灵活性 11. 核心价值观 12. 个人约束条件/国家地缘约束 正如丘吉尔所言：“永远不要浪费一场好危机。”危机与剧变总是结伴而行。戴蒙德的危机应对方案或许可以帮助人类重塑危机意识，毕竟在瞬息万变的时代，个人、企业、国家乃至整个人类社会都要不断进行选择性变革。你做好准备了吗？这或许也是戴蒙德为我们设下的一个开放性思考题。

Freebooters and Smugglers
￥280.96
This book is the result of several years of collaboration with historians, students, archivists, and friends.The final product owes much to a collection of individuals who offered insight, analysis, recommendations, and sometimes their gut-level opinion about the project. In reflecting on its evolution, this study benefited greatly from two individuals in particular. In the embryonic stages of this work, Cynthia Bouton, being the true colleague that she is, took time from her own hectic academic schedule to offer several critiques, probing questions, and trenchant comments about the manu*.At a later stage in the writing, Gwendolyn Midlo Hall canvassed the study, detected gaps, and then pointed me toward additional sources without which the final product would not have been as thorough.
