This unique text provides a broad introduction to qualitative analysis together with concrete demonstrations and comparisons of five major approaches. Leading scholars apply their respective analytic lenses to a narrative account and interview featuring "Teresa," a young opera singer who experienced a career-changing illness. The resulting analyses vividly exemplify what each approach looks like in action. The researchers then probe the similarities and differences among their approaches; their distinctive purposes and strengths; the role, style, and subjectivity of the individual researcher; and the scientific and ethical complexities of conducting qualitative research. Also included are the research participant's responses to each analysis of her experience. A narrative account from another research participant, "Gail," can be used by readers to practice the kinds of analysis explored in the book.

Hong Kong: Migrant Lives, Landscapes, and Journeys

Caroline Knowles and Douglas Harper

In 1997 the United Kingdom returned control of Hong Kong to China, ending the city’s status as one of the last remnants of the British Empire and initiating a new phase for it as both a modern city and a hub for global migrations. Hong Kong is a tour of the city’s postcolonial urban landscape, innovatively told through fieldwork and photography.

Caroline Knowles and Douglas Harper’s point of entry into Hong Kong is the unusual position of the British expatriates who chose to remain in the city after the transition. Now a relatively insignificant presence, British migrants in Hong Kong have become intimately connected with another small minority group there: immigrants from Southeast Asia. The lives, journeys, and stories of these two groups bring to life a place where the past continues to resonate for all its residents, even as the city hurtles forward into a future marked by transience and transition. By skillfully blending ethnographic and visual approaches, Hong Kong offers a fascinating guide to a city that is at once unique in its recent history and exemplary of our globalized present.

香港文學散步

小思 編著

一段時期，香港人多少傾向於迴避歷史的重負。析骨還父，析肉還母，卻也真個闖出一番奇蹟。然而「生命中的輕」終歸不能承受太久；若不能體認歷史以潤澤生命，歷史會反過來把你釘死的。當然文學史沒有那麼嚴重。但如果你拒絕文學史給你想象自由的空間，難道你生命確能不無虧欠？讀文學史也不必煞有介事。雖然香港的文學行腳圖尚未繪就，這本書於豐富的文史蹤跡只不過指點一二而遠非盡舉，但已大抵足以引發你散步尋蹤了吧！你在這裏可以傾聽當年文學工作者的聲音，還有後來者的聲音，編寫者的聲音。還有，你這讀者、行者，不應該也有你自己的聲音麼？

Leonardo da Vinci: The Marvellous Works of Nature and Man

Martin Kemp

This masterly account of Leonardo da Vinci and his vision of the world has long been recognized as the classic treatment of the Renaissance giant, offering unparalleled insight into Leonardo's intellect and vision at every stage of his artistic career.

Martin Kemp, one of the world's leading authorities on Leonardo, takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the whole span of the great man's life, painting a fully integrated picture of his artistic, scientific, and technological achievements. Kemp shows how Leonardo's early training in Florence provided a crucial foundation in the "science of art," particularly perspective and anatomy, while his period in the service of the Sforzas of Milan enlarged his outlook to embrace a wide range of natural sciences and mathematics, as he searched for scientific rules governing both man and the universe. It was these rules, Kemp argues, which provided the basis for his imaginative reconstruction of nature in masterworks such as the Last Supper, The Mona Lisa, and St. John, which reveal his increasingly complex vision of man in the context of nature. And towards the end of his life, Leonardo became fascinated with the mathematics underlying the "design of nature," behind which lay the ultimate force of the "prime mover," as manifested with supreme power in his Deluge drawings. Covering every aspect of Leonardo's achievement, generously illustrated, and now including a new introductory chapter setting Leonardo's work in its historical context, this fully updated edition provides unparalleled insight into the mind of this central figure in western art.

歐洲的繪畫史，美得就像一首由千人共同攜手演出、驚天動地的偉大交響詩。從大家所熟悉的中世紀繪畫大師喬托到現在，許許多多的繪畫大師們共同創作了千姿百魅的藝術風格與流派，讓我們既驚嘆又崇拜。

每一種畫派從源起、興盛、沒落，從背離傳統到凝聚思維，一步步堅定地走出自己的錦繡天地。從十八世紀開始，繪畫藝術便在多元因素的衝擊下，有了翻天覆地、摧枯拉朽的變化。更多的流派、更廣的思維、更豐富的創作、更深刻的理論，濃艷、激揚、解構、反叛，就像一聲轟然巨響，頓時爭奇鬥艷、百花齊放。

作為一本繪畫藝術的入門書，想要兼容並蓄、巨細靡遺的將這些曠世之作，一一呈現在讀者眼前，又要在浩瀚的繪畫作品中精選出300幅影響深遠、具有代表性、可具體分析其創作風格的畫作，其難度極高、資料蒐集非常不容易。
