近年来，由于高度发达的社会经济文化，南宋史引起了人们强烈的兴趣。而建炎、绍兴之际南渡君臣的所作所为，不仅左右着南宋初期的政局走向，而且影响着整个南宋的政权格局与历史命运，很值得深研究。本书为著名宋史研究专家虞云国先生多面向探析宋高宗时代的一部力作。内容涉及靖康之变北宋王朝刹那覆灭到建炎南渡高宗政权初步立足的历史过程、宋高宗于岳飞在宋金和战上特殊的君臣关系等，兼具学术性与普及性，不仅代表了作者对于南宋初四十年历史的认识，更有助于一般读者深认识“中国转向内在”这一主题。

【内容简介】 本书是国内学界部多卷本的英帝国史之卷。本卷主要研究大英帝国的肇始阶段，即都铎时期英国的海外殖民活动，相当于大英帝国前史，包含着对英国早期殖民思想、民族国 家与大英帝国的关系、重商主义国策、新君主制和民间力量在殖民活动中的作用、从民族国家走向帝国的道路等一系列问题的思考。

本书是中国学者撰写英帝国史的扛鼎之作。 二战后，“帝国”与“后殖民”研究已成为国际学术界的热门之一，成果赫然。但西方的研究都站在西方的立场上、弘扬西方的价值观念。这在英帝国研究中也是如此，以致今天的英帝国研究领域中，西方话语充斥其间，形成西方的一统天下。本书对英帝国的历史作细致的剖析，通过深研究，提出中国学者自己的诠释体系。 全书根据英帝国史的客观演，分八个阶段行讨论。 *阶段是英帝国的萌生期，这一时期，英国民族国家始形成，为海外扩张提供了制度保障。英帝国的萌生是民族国家的派生物，都铎王朝是英帝国的孕育人。本卷主要解释民族国家与英帝国萌生的关系，以及英国走上帝国扩张之路的背景与条件。 17世纪，英帝国从初生到形成。17世纪英国经历了政治大动荡，各种政体走马灯似地替换。但所有政府在帝国问题上却立场一致，都尽力扩张殖民地。这种现象背后是这样一个事实，即英国从民族国家形成起，就成为重商主义性质的国家。重商主义要求殖民地，早期英帝国是重商主义帝国。 18世纪是英帝国的第三阶段，是重商主义帝国战争的阶段，战争的规模逐渐从欧洲扩展到世界，始出现“世界的”大战。所有这些战争都是重商主义性质，英国与其他重商主义国家（西、葡、荷、法等）争夺海洋控制权，为重商主义而鏖战。本卷主要研究帝国战争的本质，重商主义是战争的根源。 就在英国败所有对手、几乎赢得海洋霸权的时刻，美国革命却瓦解了英帝国。这是殖民帝国内在危机的*次大暴露：宗主国与殖民地之间必定要对抗，结局一定是帝国解体。不过在那个时代，人们没有意识到这一，相反，英国政府从美国革命中吸取教训，调整了殖民政策，以致短短三十年之间，又形成一个崭新的帝国，即“第二帝国”。这是英帝国的第四阶段：新旧交替的阶段。在这个阶段上，重商主义帝国渐次退出，新理念和新地域构成了新帝国。本卷主要研究了导致帝国生命更新的机制。 新帝国的基础是工业革命，其巨大的生产力和廉价的工业品成为新帝国的力量源泉。英国在实现自由贸易的过程中夺取了世界霸权，它着“自由贸易”的旗帜，将触角伸向全世界。就在这个时候，“自由帝国主义”理论出现了，它提倡“无形帝国”，认为英国不需要殖民地，只需要“自由贸易”。一个老牌的殖民国家，却“不要殖民地”了，这是为什么？这是英帝国的第五个阶段。 19世纪下半叶，就在帝国的旗帜高高飘扬、大英帝国如日中天时，英国却始走下坡路了。其他国家追赶工业化，破了英国的工业霸权，也破了它的殖民霸权。英国再一次调整殖民政策，投到争夺殖民地的斗争中去，“无形帝国”又变成“有形帝国”，英帝国也完成了“日不落”的使命。可是，帝国的内在逻辑仍然在起作用：就在英帝国看似*辉煌时，新的解体又始了。对英帝国的第六阶段，本卷重分析了帝国内在逻辑的必然性。 为拯救帝国，英国政治家再一次使尽解数，试图用“帝国联邦”来代替帝国，建立世界性的“联邦共同体”，在大世界中建立一个“英国的”小世界。英帝国在第七个阶段上试图完成这个转型，但转型没有成功。本卷解释了这一转型失败的原因和实质，涉及英国的观念、价值、制度结构等等。 二战结束后，英帝国骤然瓦解，其速度令人诧异。尽管有政治家构想出“第三帝国”的方案，试图在苏伊士以西维持帝国；但人们普遍以为：英国人深知时务，主动撤离，完成了“非殖民化”。果真如此吗？并不是。本卷研究发现，英国人在不同地区的撤离方式是不同的，有和平退出，有战争对抗。原因是，和平与战争都服从相同的帝国目标：构建一个实质性的“英联邦”，以维护英国的大国地位，这就是所谓“非殖民化”的本质。不过英国的梦想还是破灭了，英国的大国地位也随之破灭：英帝国寿终就寝。

在人们的思维活动中，有许多种想法，却不知怎样表达。该如何形成自己清晰的观？这种观又是怎样决定人们的习惯从而影响人们的现实生活？什么样的观是有效的观？ 美国实用主义哲学创始人查尔斯·S.皮尔士（Charles Sanders Peirce）在本书中有效地回答了这些问题。他系统阐述了自己对此问题的见解：首先探讨了人们在面对纷繁复杂的世界时，是如何一步一步形成清晰的观；其次对人们在形成具体而清晰的观过程中常用的几种方法行了分析。查尔斯·S.皮尔士认为，在面对具体情形时，人们不仅仅要找到所隐藏的前提条件或原则，更要有意识地把它们表达出来，这样才有利于行分析和表达，而积极、有效地影响或改变生活和工作。 阅读本书，可以培养人们在学习和工作中科学地行深度思考、逻辑推理与准确表达。?

Sri Krsna számtalan univerzum vitathatatlan Ura, akit korlátlan er?, gazdagság, hírnév, tudás és lemondás jellemez, ám ezek az ?r?kké diadalmas energiák csupán részben  tárják fel ?t. Végtelen dics?ségét csak az ismerheti meg, aki elb?v?l? szépségénél keres menedéket, ?sszes t?bbi fenséges tulajdonsága forrásánál, melynek páratlan transzcendentális teste ad otthont. Szépségének legf?bb jellemz?je az a mindenek f?l?tt álló édes íz, ami t?mény kivonata mindennek, ami édes. Minden édes dolgot túlszárnyal, és nem más, mint az édes íz megízlelésének képessége. Sri Krsna édes természete finom arany sugárzásként ragyog át transzcendentális testén. Govinda páratlanul gy?ny?r? testének legszebb és legédesebb része ragyogó arca. ?des hold-arcán rejtélyes mosolya a legédesebb, az az arcáról ragyogó ezüst holdsugár, ami nektárral árasztja el a világot. Mosolyának sugárzása nélkül keser? lenne a cukor, savanyú a méz, és a nektárnak sem lenne íze. Amikor mosolyának holdsugara elvegyül teste ragyogásával, a kett? együtt a kámfor aromájára emlékeztet. Ez a kámfor aztán ajkán keresztül a fuvolába kerül, ahonnan megfoghatatlan hangvibrációként t?r el?, és er?nek erejével rabul ejti azoknak az elméjét, akik hallják. Ahogy a szavak gondolatok mondanivalóját hordozzák, ahogy a gondolatok a szemben tükr?z?dnek, ahogy egy mosoly a szív érzelmeir?l árulkodik, úgy a fuvola hangja Sri Krsna szépségét viszi a fül?n keresztül a szív templomának oltárára.

Commercial air travel began just over a century ago. In that time there have been groundbreaking civilian aircraft, such as flying boats, the first pressurized cabin aircraft, jet and supersonic aircraft, as well as immense changes in the capacity of a typical airliner: in the 1920s aircraft struggled to carry 20 passengers, today some models can carry up to 800 people. The book includes many types, from cargo transports and freighters, through flying boats, passenger airliners, business jets and supersonic carriers. Featured aircraft include: the Ford Trimotor ‘Tin Goose’, one of the great workhorses of early aviation history; the first post-war intercontinental airliners, such as the Douglas DC-4 Skymaster, De Havilland Comet and Boeing 377 Stratocruiser; the Vickers VC10, one of the greats of the 1960s golden age of commercial airliners, when jet-powered air commerce was new and airliners pampered passengers; the massive Super Guppy heavy transport, one of the widest aircraft in aviation history; the supersonic Tupolev Tu-144 ‘Charger’ and Concorde, Cold War competitors in aviation excellence; the Embraer ERJ, part of a new range of narrow-bodied airliners; and the most popular passenger aircraft of the present, including the Boeing 747 and Airbus A320. Each entry includes a brief description of the model’s development and history, a profile view, key features and specifications. Packed with more than 200 artworks and photographs, The World’s Greatest Civil Aircraft is a colourful guide for the aviation enthusiast.

Combat Techniques is a comprehensive reference work on tactical procedures for infantry today. Illustrated with action photographs and detailed artworks, it provides a thorough insight into how the soldiers of today’s armies would fight in any combat scenario they encountered. The book covers all aspects of the battlefield, detailing the various forces and assets at a battlefield commander’s disposal, showing how tactics have changed since the end of World War II, and examining a huge range of tactical procedures, from controlling an air strike or firing an anti-tank weapon to sub-zero operations, hostage-rescue situations, fighting in urban or extreme terrain, amphibious assaults, and evading capture. The difficulties of asymmetric warfare are also addressed, with chapters on counter-terrorist and anti-insurgency operations. Using colour photographs and artworks, Combat Techniques shows the men and equipment of modern armies from around the world, and, with the help of an authoritative text, demonstrates how they operate in today’s every changing, technology dominated battlefields.

Ivan Ivanovitch attends the funeral of a casual acquaintance and falls to contemplation in the graveyard. He hears the voices of the recently deceased and buried, and he listens to their conversation. They discuss card games and political scandals. As the deceased entertain themselves by revealing all of the shameful details of their earthly lives, Ivan Ivanovitch sneezes.

The 5th SS Division Wiking was the first 'international' – i.e. largely non-German – Waffen-SS division and the only German panzer division comprised largely of foreign troops. Approximately 75 per cent of the division's strength were non-German nationals, all volunteers, and the majority from occupied countries like Belgium, Holland, France, Denmark, and Norway. The Wiking division operated exclusively on the Eastern Front during World War II, where the division quickly earned itself a deserved combat reputation but also served as a 'finishing school', spinning off a host of additional Waffen-SS divisions. While Germany was on the offensive in the East, Wiking served as a spearhead for Operations Barbarossa and Citadel. Later in the war it served as a defensive 'fire brigade', plugging gaps in the line as needed in response to Soviet attacks: breaking out of the Cherkassy pocket and defending Budapest as part of the Sixth SS Panzer Army, before its tattered remnants ended the war attempting to postpone the inevitable in Berlin. Part of the SS Divisional Histories series, SS-Wiking is fully illustrated with rare Eastern Front photographs, many of which have never been published before. It also includes numerous maps and biographies of the key personnel, including such figures as Josef Mengele, Leon Degrelle, Felix Steiner and Herbert Gille.

Malcolm Ross, a young barrister, is awakened in the middle of the night and summoned to the house of famous Egyptologist Abel Trelawny at the request of his daughter, Margaret, with whom Malcolm is enamored. Once Malcolm arrives at the house, he meets Margaret, Superintendent Dolan, and Doctor Winchester, and learns why he has been called: Margaret, hearing strange noises from her father’s bedroom, woke to find him unconscious and bloodied on the floor of his room, under some sort of trance.

As he waited for his breakfast, never served to time, Mr. Lashmar drummed upon the window-pane, and seemed to watch a blackbird lunching with much gusto about the moist lawn of Alverholme Vicarage. But his gaze was absent and worried. The countenance of the reverend gentleman rarely wore any other expression, for he took to heart all human miseries and follies, and lived in a ceaseless mild indignation against the tenor of the age.

Emelian was a labourer and worked for a master. He was walking through a field one day on his way to work, when a frog hopped in front of him and he just missed crushing it by stepping across. Suddenly some one called to him from behind. He turned, and there stood a beautiful maiden, who said to him, 'Why don’t you marry, Emelian?'

The story follows adventures of five Americans on an uncharted island in the South Pacific. The five Americans escape from prison during the siege of Richmond, Virginia, by hijacking a balloon.

A wealthy American Jeorling is looking for a passage back to the USA after private studies of the wildlife on the Kerguelen Islands. Halbrane is one of the first ships to arrive at Kerguelen, and its captain Len Guy somewhat reluctantly agrees to have Jeorling as a passenger as far as Tristan da Cunha. Underway, they meet a stray iceberg with a dead body on it, which turns out to be a sailor from Jane. A note found with him indicates that he and several others including Jane's captain William Guy had survived the assassination attempt at Tsalal and are still alive.
