本书作为我社“*经典英语文库”第14辑中的一种，精选法国著名作家维克多·雨果的经典作品《悲惨世界 （五卷之第五卷）》（前四卷已出）。作品讲述了主人公土伦苦刑犯冉·阿让（Jean Valjean）的个人经历，并融了法国的历史、革命、战争、道德哲学、法律、正义、宗教信仰。《悲惨世界》以冉·阿让出狱后的种种经历贯穿全书，深刻反映了时代的问题。雨果在作品中融了从拿破仑在滑铁卢的失败到反对“七月王朝”的人民起义这一阶段的历史，反映了当时的社会生活和政治状况。作品不仅描述了获释犯人冉·阿让和流浪妇女芳汀的不幸生活以及芳汀的私生女柯赛特的悲惨遭遇，而且揭示了当时社会中勤劳善良的劳动人民却受歧视和压迫的不公平命运。雨果还在作品中揭露了当时残酷不公的法典和秩序，猛烈抨了那种人们饿死可以而偷面包却要坐牢的社会制度，谴责了那些安于现状和铁石心肠的市民在面对处于困境中的他人时的那种袖手旁观的冷漠态度。

关系场理论RFT（Relationship field theory）是以中国传统文化为土壤，以心理学理论为研究基础，以关系场为研究内容，以耗散结构理论为指导原则建构起来的思想体系。是一组内在有序外在广泛联系并尝试对主观世界中的事件做出一般意义上的描述和解释的观念、法则、原理的集合。关系场理论的提出旨在协助人们理解自己的心理事实，解释人际中的各种现象，并能够在此基础上对未来做出有效的预测和控制。 书中从六个层面观察和分析了沟通中所发生的事件。这六个层面分别为：零维元始要素，一维相对关系，二维标准平面，三维心理容器，四维生命个体，五维关系场域。本书包括五章，*章是总述，主要介绍了关系场理论的总体目标及其相关的一些专有概念。第二章是核心假设，列举了九条关系场的理论假设，这九条假设将成为整个关系场丛书的理论根基。第三章谈及五维关系场的结构，先论述了零维元始要素的基本含义和性质，之后从一维到五维逐一展开论述。针对具体事件的分析，可以从这六个维度入手，使分析更加有层次，也更*。第四章的标题是关系场理论中的十级概念，*级概念中只包含一个内容：有序。第十级概念中有十个内容，是有效沟通所用的简要十步。它们既可用于关系场咨询实践，也可用于营销和谈判等其它实践活动中。第五章关系场咨询理论，侧重探讨关系场理论在心理咨询中的应用，包括咨询原则、咨询对象、咨询技术、咨询理念、原因分析、疗效因子、咨询步骤等七个方面的内容。

Kennedy Jr. of Dublin"—has captured tabloid headlines and the imagination of his country with his charm and charisma. But the crushed hearts he's left behind him reveal more about his character than his winning, votegetting smile. Lola, Grace, Marnie, and Alicia have all suffered from his selfishness and cruelty. But with Paddy's political star ascending, the time is finally ripe for redemption . . . and perhaps a bit of revenge.

本書是關於一件幾乎為人遺忘的事件的研究，此事件發生在1899年，當時有些新界居民試圖以武力阻止香港政府接收，在因而引發的戰鬥中有大量村民戰死。後來，鄉村和香港政府都嘗試把整件事件忘卻，以便重新開始，但是，這段令人痛心的往事還是應當為後世所知。那些亡逝者應當受世人憶記。當時的港督卜力（Henry Blake）爵士採取人道和明智的政策，在戰事結束後成為港府治理新界的標準方式，這些以官民友好合作為基礎的政策，也不應湮沒。因此，我非常感激中華書局決定出版此書中譯本，因為這樣可以令這段故事有更多讀者知悉。我希望這些讀者包括許多年輕人。愈來愈多人有興趣認識香港歷史，教授香港史的學校也愈來愈多；此事件是新界歷史中的重要一頁，希望它能令更多人對香港歷史產生興趣。
