By 2030, China's cities will be home to 1 billion people one in every eight people on earth. What kind of lives will China's urban billion lead? And what will China's cities be like?

Over the past thirty years, China's urban population expanded by 500 million people, and is on track to swell by a further 300 million by 2030. Hundreds of millions of these new urban residents are rural migrants, who lead second-class lives without access to urban benefits. Even those lucky citizens who live in modern tower blocks must put up with clogged roads, polluted skies and cityscapes of unremitting ugliness. The rapid expansion of urban China is astonishing, but new policies are urgently needed to create healthier cities.

Combining on-the-ground reportage and up-to-date research, this pivotal book explains why China has failed to reap many of the economic and social benefits of urbanization, and suggests how these problems can be resolved. If its leaders get urbanization right, China will surpass the United States and cement its position as the world's largest economy. But if they get it wrong, China could spend the next twenty years languishing in middle-income torpor, its cities pockmarked by giant slums.

《道德的人與不道德的社會》名著譯叢作者R.尼布爾，美國當代最著名的基督教哲學家，一生著述甚豐，本書是他的代表作之一，系統闡述了他的倫理學和政治學觀點。作者認為，在不可避免的人類分裂及沖突面前，集團主義的殘酷，理性主義者和社會科學者的無能都加劇了人類經濟鬥爭和政治鬥爭帶來的悲劇，道德的人在這不道德的社會中能否生存下，成了我們當代面臨的最大問題。

 《道德的人與不道德的社會》集中地體現了作者應用基督教倫理思想對現實社會的分析和研究。

 在《道德的人與不道德的社會》中，作者首次提出了必須在個人的社會道德行為與社會群體(包括國家的、種族的、經濟的社會群體)的社會道德行為之間作出嚴格的區別，並根據這一區別說明那些總是讓純粹個人道德觀念感到困惑難堪的政治策略的必要性和存在的理由。

check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Physics and Technology for Future Presidents contains the essential physics that students need in order to understand today's core science and technology issues, and to become the next generation of world leaders. From the physics of energy to climate change, and from spy technology to quantum computers, this is the only textbook to focus on the modern physics affecting the decisions of political leaders and CEOs and, consequently, the lives of every citizen. How practical are alternative energy sources? Can satellites really read license plates from space? What is the quantum physics behind iPods and supermarket scanners? And how much should we fear a terrorist nuke? This lively book empowers students possessing any level of scientific background with the tools they need to make informed decisions and to argue their views persuasively with anyone--expert or otherwise.

Based on Richard Muller's renowned course at Berkeley, the book explores critical physics topics: energy and power, atoms and heat, gravity and space, nuclei and radioactivity, chain reactions and atomic bombs, electricity and magnetism, waves, light, invisible light, climate change, quantum physics, and relativity. Muller engages readers through many intriguing examples, helpful facts to remember, a fun-to-read text, and an emphasis on real-world problems rather than mathematical computation. He includes chapter summaries, essay and discussion questions, Internet research topics, and handy tips for instructors to make the classroom experience more rewarding.

Accessible and entertaining, Physics and Technology for Future Presidents gives students the scientific fluency they need to become well-rounded leaders in a world driven by science and technology.

日本人憑什麼

．日本人憑什麼以一個小小島國敢向中國乃至世界宣戰。
．二次世界大戰結束幾乎被化為灰燼的日本，憑什麼在三、四十年的時間以經濟重登世界舞台。
．日本人憑什麼敢爭「釣魚台」是他們的？
．一把破銅爛鐵的「武士刀」真有如此的威力嗎？

……四百年來，日本人一直把中國作為假想敵反復研究、琢磨，早期日本對華侵略的思想、方略的設計者並不是在朝的政府官員，而是在野的民間學者、文化人。中國人為什麼不可以把日本作為假想敵研究?早在1928年戴季陶在《日本人》一書中就大聲疾呼中國人加強對日本的對策研究。中國的學者應該用開放的心胸去剖析日本，尤其要對日本的國民性下苦功夫研究，「思想上的閉關自守」和「智(知)識上的義和團」使得中國從近代以來不斷受氣挨打，付出了血的代價。

本書就是一本從文化學的角度研究日本國民性的作品。作者博采眾家之說，分析了形成日本民族凝聚力的原因、日本民族性格和心理特點、日本人的亞洲政策形成和重點所在、日本的國家戰略和國民狀態、以及中日關係的前景等。本書作者既嚴厲斥責了日本民族的霸道邏輯和野蠻根性，也充分肯定了其銳意進取和奮力爭強的意識，對於中國人來說，日本這個咄咄逼人的鄰居最大的價值就是：它是一面鏡子，其成敗得失都可資中國人鏡鑑。

Stranded in the frozen Antarctic sea for nearly two years, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his team of 27 polar explorers endured extreme temperatures, hazardous ice, dwindling food, and complete isolation. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, the group remained cohesive, congenial, and mercifully alive─a fact that speaks not just to luck but to an unparalleled feat of leadership. Drawing on this amazing story, "Leading at The Edge" demonstrates the importance of a strong leader in times of adversity, uncertainty, and change. The book reveals 10 timeless leadership lessons that show readers how to: instill optimism while staying grounded in reality; have the courage to step up to risks worth taking; consistently reinforce the team message; set a personal example; find something to celebrate and something to laugh about; and, never give up. Part adventure tale, part leadership guide, the second edition features additional lessons, new case studies of the strategies in action, tools to uncover and resolve conflicts, and expanded resources. An updated epilogue compares the leadership styles of the famous polar explorers Shackleton, Amundsen, and Scott. Today's leaders have much to learn from this gripping account of survival against all odds. "Leading at The Edge" will help them bring order to chaos-and achieve success in the face of adversity.

• 讓別人認識並且記得你，是你的責任，而不是對方的義務。
• 容許自己不快樂，是釋放壓力的方式之一。心情不好的時候，不妨發個呆，少做點事，等情緒調整過來，重新出發。
• 重要的事都已事先處置妥當，就不會經常發生緊急的事。
• 眼界的提昇，可用想像的；技巧的增加必須不斷的實驗、練習。你要調整「眼高」和「手低」的距離。
• 偷懶，總有藉口；上進，沒有理由。
• 溝通品質不受口才好壞影響，關鍵在於能否體貼對方。
• 有時候，克制自己不做什麼，比放任自己愛做什麼，要來得積極。

Modern and contemporary art can be both baffling and beautiful; it can also be innovative, political, and disturbing. This book sets out to provide the first concise interpretation of the period as a whole, clarifying the artists and their works along the way. Closely informed by new critical approaches, it concentrates on the relationship between American and European art from the end of the Second World War to the eve of the new millennium.

Jackson Pollock, Jasper Johns, Yves Klein, Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman, and Damien Hirst are among many artists discussed, with careful attention being given to the political and cultural worlds they inhabited. Moving along a clear timeline, the author highlights key movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptualism, Postmodernism, and performance art to explain the theoretical and issue-based debates that have provided the engine for the art of this period.

孫中山先生自獻身中國革命以來，即與不少有識之士欲就管治之道向香港取經，為中國現代化尋求出路。究竟英國成功治理香港的訣竅何在，值得中國借鏡？

在這部資料詳盡、論據中肯的著作中，曾銳生博士探討被視為香港政府精英的政務官，如何令一百四十年前庸昧的初期殖民地政府，演變成二十世紀末最優秀的現代政體之一。

二次大戰後，香港政府成功融合中國傳統政治和現代英國公務員系統的精髓，把效率、誠信、公正、仁慈家長主義及不干預思想融為一體。香港因而取得空前發展，尤以工商與金融業成就顯著。中國對香港的「一國兩制」政策，部分原意是要確保香港成為中國特別行政區後，其卓越管治得到承傳，延續繁榮安定。

本書從歷史角度描述政務官的工作生涯和演變，從中透視特區政府如何維持並進一步提高管治成效。

Puzzled by signs warning you to “mind the gap” in the London Underground? Wondering what will be on your plate if you order “toad in the hole” in a London café? In Divided by a Common Language, Christopher Davies explains these expressions and discusses the many differences in pronunciation, spelling, and vocabulary between British and American English. He compares the customs, manners, and practical details of daily life in the United Kingdom and the United States, and American readers will enjoy his account of American culture as seen through an Englishman’s eyes. Davies tops it off with an amusing list of expressions that sound innocent enough in one country but make quite the opposite impression in the other. Two large glossaries help travelers translate from one variety of English to the other, and additional lists explain the distinctive words of Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Divided by a Common Language is the ideal travel companion for both British visitors to the U.S. and American visitors to the U.K. It is also the perfect book for Britons interested in American culture and Americans enjoying British novels, movies, and television at home.

北島詩歌集

北島 著

《北島詩歌集》是詩人北島自８０年代末以來在中國大陸出版的第一本詩集。做為中國當代“朦朧派”詩歌的領袖，曾經獲得諾貝爾文學獎提名的北島在中國詩壇和文化界有著廣泛的影響力。詩集出版消息公布後，北京、上海等大中城市的書店裡，北島的詩集被滿懷期待的讀者搶購一空。經過了十多年的隔膜，熱愛北島詩歌的人們都希望讀到他的新詩作，也想進一步了解這位中國當代偉大詩人的思想現狀。

北島原名趙振開，１９４９年生於北京。１９７８年前後，他和詩人芒克創辦《今天》，成為朦朧詩歌的代表性詩人。１９８９年４月，北島離開祖國，先後在德國、挪威、瑞典、丹麥、荷蘭、法國、美國等國家居住。北島曾著有多種詩集，作品被譯成二十餘種文字，先後獲瑞典筆會文學獎、美國西部筆會中心自由寫作獎、古根海姆獎學金等，並被選為美國藝術文學院終身榮譽院士。

詩歌是詩人最完備的精神自傳，也是感受和獲知一位詩人真實的思想狀況的唯一途徑。《北島詩歌集》中收入了北島各個時期的代表性作品，其時間跨度是３０年，即從１９７２年到２００１年。北島是一代中國青年的精神領袖。他早期的詩歌中具有強烈的懷疑和叛逆精神，在他的詩歌中，人們見到的是一個內心充滿痛苦和不安，熱血激昂，具有社會責任感和正義感，正在努力擺脫黑暗，四處尋找光明的青年形像。面對中國七十年代“文革”前後紛亂荒誕的社會現實，他有時感覺到苦悶和迷惘，“一切都是命運／一切都是煙雲《一切》”，在他的成名代表作《回答》中，他寫出了充滿激憤唾棄和理想追尋的響亮詩句——“卑鄙是卑鄙者的通行証，高尚是高尚者的墓誌銘。”這兩句詩和另一位朦朧詩代表詩人顧城的“黑夜給了我黑色的眼睛／我卻用它來尋找光明”兩句成為了一代青年人的精神寫真。直到今天，這四行詩還是在中國當代青年中傳誦最廣，影響最大的新詩名句。

The Flaw of Averages: Why We Underestimate Risk in the Face of Uncertainty

Sam L. Savage
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

A must-read for anyone who makes business decisions that have a major financial impact.

...  In The Flaw of Averages, Sam Savage­─known for his creative exposition of difficult subjects­─describes common avoidable mistakes in assessing risk in the face of uncertainty. Along the way, he shows why plans based on average assumptions are wrong, on average, in areas as diverse as healthcare, accounting, the War on Terror, and climate change. In his chapter on Sex and the Central Limit Theorem, he bravely grasps the literary third rail of gender differences.

Instead of statistical jargon, Savage presents complex concepts in plain English. In addition, a tightly integrated web site contains numerous animations and simulations to further connect the seat of the reader’s intellect to the seat of their pants.

The Flaw of Averages typically results when someone plugs a single number into a spreadsheet to represent an uncertain future quantity. Savage finishes the book with a discussion of the emerging field of Probability Management, which cures this problem though a new technology that can pack thousands of numbers into a single spreadsheet cell.

總還有些什麼留下來的
她的城
她的房子
她的文字
她的悲涼

「舊家是張愛玲文字的原鄉。」作者淳子女士一語道盡了「張愛玲式的華麗與蒼涼」－－那絕美的文字，所謂何來。

張愛玲的創作與上海這座大城市是分不開的。透過描寫都市生活的繁華與墮落，以及城市男女的情愛與孤寂，張愛玲的心靈在文字中得到釋放。想要走進張愛玲的世界，唯有走進她曾駐足過的這座城市。

在無數的張愛玲追隨者中，淳子女士憑藉其對上海史的研究專業，以及對張愛玲作品透澈的理解與掌握，在一條條人事已非的弄堂、一棟棟人去樓空的建築，以及一份份片段瑣碎的歷史文獻中，戮力爬梳，細心彙整，將張愛玲的作品一一對照史料，重現張氏創作生涯的華采段落，繪製了這份專屬於張愛玲的城市地圖。

因為有淳子女士鍥而不捨地追尋，鉅細靡遺地考證，我們才能從《孽海花》裡，看見張愛玲如何在康樂村的童年時光中，不經意洩漏了戀父情結；從《易經》裡得知她對母親的愛恨矛盾，如何在開納公寓中一發不可收拾；又從《小團圓》裡體會讓她刻骨銘心的胡蘭成，如何在美麗園裡讓她不知所措。

這份地圖，標記了張愛玲一生的情感座標。隨著時光逝去，情淡人散，只剩下當年張愛玲的住所還在。唯有張愛玲的文字常駐，依然在後世讀者心中熠熠閃耀。

Roberto Valenzuela
onlinecheck holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Translating the chaos of the real world into a breathtakingly simple, beautiful photograph can often seem like an impossible task. With busy, cluttered backgrounds and subjects who don’t know how to pose, how can you take control and get a great shot no matter the situation? In Picture Perfect Practice, photographer Roberto Valenzuela breaks down the craft of photography into three key elements–locations, poses, and execution–that you can use to unlock the photographic opportunities lying beneath every challenging situation.

Valenzuela stresses the need for photographers to actively practice their craft every day–just like you would practice a musical instrument–in order to master the art of making great images. With chapters that offer practice exercises to strengthen your photographic abilities, you’ll learn how to approach a scene, break it down, and see your way to a great photograph. The Location section features chapters that cover symmetry, balance, framing, color elements, textures, and much more. The Posing section includes the Five Key Posing Techniques that Valenzuela uses every time he’s shooting people, as well as a complete list of poses and how to achieve, customize, and perfect them. The Execution portion, with sections like “Lighting through Direction” and “Simplicity through Subtraction,” reveals Valenzuela’s overall approach to getting the shot. The book also includes an inspiring and helpful chapter on deliberate practice techniques, where Valenzuela describes his system for practicing and analyzing his work, which leads to constant improvement as a photographer.

If you’ve been frustrated and overwhelmed by the challenges of real-world locations, posing your subjects, or executing a great image–or if you simply want to become a better shooter but don’t know where to start–Picture Perfect Practice gives you the tools and information you need to finally become the kind of photographer you’ve always wanted to be: the kind who can confidently walk into any location, under any lighting condition, with any subject, and know that you can create astonishing photographs that have a timeless impact.

攝影眼 : 視覺語言的字彙與文法 (Photographically Speaking)

David DuChemin 著
online access from iRead eBook
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

拍出會說話的好照片，學習運用視覺語言的字彙和文法
在欣賞一張攝影作品時，我們的對話往往都從「我喜歡這張照片」開始，但不幸的是，也就這樣結束了。照理來說，下一個問題應該是「為什麼？」然而這問題總是少有人問得出口，也少有人答得出來。身為攝影師，我們常常無法好好談論影像，因為，老實說，我們根本不知該如何理解影像。若我們無法理解影像以及其中的「視覺語言」（影像是如何結構出來的、如何產生效果、又為何能產生效果），那麼當我們站在相機背後時，是否真能拍出最能傳達自身觀點、自身原始意圖的影像？觀點極為重要，但它並非攝影的終極目標，傳達才是目標。而為了能充分傳達自我，我們就必須學習並運用視覺語言的字彙和文法。

本書主要目的，是在學習攝影的視覺語言，以便更清楚地表達出影像成功的原因與方式，並進而有意識地運用該視覺語言來創作影像，使我們成為可充分傳達，且能徹底溝通自身觀點的優秀攝影師。透過將視覺語言分解成兩種主要要素（一是形成其字彙的「元素」，另一則是代表了文法的「決策」）之方式，本書將這些原本深奧、艱澀的內容，轉變成易懂又實用的內容，可讓您馬上吸收，並有效提升其攝影力。元素就是影像的「字彙」，是我們配置在畫面裡的東西，包括：線條、曲線、光線、色彩、對比等等；決策則是我們組合這些元素時，為了能充分傳達、溝通自身觀點而做的選擇，這些選擇包括了：取景方式、透視角度、觀看角度、平衡、對焦及曝光等等。

影像框架中的所有內容都有其意義，而 duChemin 主張，攝影師必須有意識地、謹慎地選擇要將哪些元素框入畫面，並決定畫面的結構與呈現方式。在本書後半部，duChemin 更進一步將這套方法應用在他自己的作品上，帶領你探索 20 張影像作品中的視覺語言，並討論那些刻意挑選的元素與決策，是如何進入了影像的創作之中，並為其成功帶來貢獻。

這本小書的目的不僅在於展示東西方在觀念和主題表現上的契合，而且還要提出一個更強的觀點，即只有從東西方比較研究跨文化的視角，才可能獲得某些批評的洞見。 如果不超越單一文學傳統有限的視野，我們就不可能有開闊的眼光，來縱覽人類創造力的各種表現和無窮的可能性；而我們一旦跨越文化差異的鴻溝，有了開闊的眼光，再回過頭去反觀許多文學作品，就會發現有些東西我們過去竟然沒有留意到，也毫無批評的意識。
