This stunning book of photographs captures the graffiti and art that have transformed Israel’s wall into a living canvas of resistance and solidarity.

Mixed with the images are portraits and vignettes, offering a heartfelt and inspiring account of a people determined to uphold their dignity in the face of profound injustice.

Taking into account the long history and wide range of Confucian Studies, this book introduces Confucianism - initiated in China by Confucius (551 BC-479 BC) - primarily as a philosophical and religious tradition. It pays attention to Confucianism in both the West and the East, focusing on the tradition's doctrines, schools, rituals, sacred places and terminology, but also stressing the adaptations, transformations and new thinking taking place in modern times. Xinzhong Yao presents Confucianism as a tradition with many dimensions and as an ancient tradition with contemporary appeal. This gives the reader a richer and clearer view of how Confucianism functioned in the past and of what it means in the present. A Chinese scholar based in the West, he draws together the many strands of Confucianism in a style accessible to students, teachers, and general readers interested in one of the world's major religious traditions.

五四以來，對中西文化的討論一直是學術界的熱門話題。在港台學者研究中國文化的眾多著作中，唐君毅的《中國文化之精神價值》是起了引領風氣及開先河的一部。它力圖通中西文化之爭中的“中體西用”與“全盤西化”之兩極，以西方文化思想中之異於中國者為背景，對中國文化的基本精神作宏觀的概論式描述。也只是在中西比較框架下，中國文化之精神價值才愈發凸現。本書論述了中西文化精神形成之外緣，中國文化與宗教之起源，中國哲學與學術文化精神之開拓和延續，中國先哲之自然宇宙觀、人生觀，及人生道德理想論，中西文化之融攝問題等多個論題。全書體大思精，內容豐富。作者對中國文化的深情呵護情真意切，對中國文化之展望亦令人振奮。

An Introduction to Critical Thinking and Creativity: Think More, Think Better

Joe Y.F. Lau
online access from Wiley Online Library

This book is about the basic principles that underlie critical thinking and creativity. The majority of the content is on critical thinking since more topics are naturally involved and since they can be discussed readily and systematically. The last few chapters are devoted to creativity and research methodology, not typical the book’s plethora of competition. Each chapter introduces a specific topic, usually by introducing the relevant theories in conjunction with realistic examples that show how the theories can be applied. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises whose solutions are detailed at the rear of the book. While the writing style is purposefully informal, the presentation is complete, at least with respect to the intended introductory level.
