In 1953, South Korea was rated by the U.N. as the poorest country in the world. Five decades later, it is the fifteenth largest economy. Now, South Korea's decisions on how to manage its society and its role as a modern democracy while also establishing its policy regarding reunification with North Korea will determine where the country will go in the next fifty years. The New Korea examines the political, economic, industrial, and societal aspects of Korea today. Will it continue to enjoy an economic boom through new industries while competing against low-wage countries like China and India? Will it return to its role as a stomping ground for other powers? And what should Westerners pay attention to in terms of investment and business opportunities? As South Korea enters the most critical phase of its journey, it is crucial that we understand the factors involving its decisions and evolution. The New Korea is a fascinating account of what is and may become the state of this important region.

同屬漢文化圈的中國與朝鮮、韓國，一衣帶水，交通自古，文化交融源遠流長。箕子受武王之封，孔子向往“東國”；朝鮮使臣往來不斷，七百年間寫下洋洋灑灑《燕行錄》。崔致遠、李齊賢、樸趾源情系中華，《全唐詩》裡眾多朝鮮優秀詩家留下華章。

古代朝鮮作家學習、吸納中國文化，也以自己的智慧與領悟，豐富和發展了漢文化。王仁博士東渡日本傳授漢文化，眾多學人闡釋儒家經典、弘揚性理之學，大量寫作漢文詩歌與散文，造就了一個中國之外絕無僅有的漢文世界。

半島唐風，餘韻悠長。近現代朝鮮作家的文化抉擇，可資借鑒。願本書上領您去東鄰半島作一番文化之旅，領略浸潤著唐風古韻的朝韓古代文化的一脈馨香，品味中國與朝鮮、韓國人民間彌足珍貴的友好情懷……

Conceptual Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Art

David W. Galenson
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

From Picasso's Cubism and Duchamp's readymades to Warhol's silkscreens and Smithson's earthworks, the art of the twentieth century broke completely with earlier artistic traditions. A basic change in the market for advanced art produced a heightened demand for innovation, and young conceptual innovators - from Picasso and Duchamp to Rauschenberg and Warhol to Cindy Sherman and Damien Hirst - responded not only by creating dozens of new forms of art, but also by behaving in ways that would have been incomprehensible to their predecessors. Conceptual Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Art presents the first systematic analysis of the reasons for this discontinuity. David W. Galenson, whose earlier research has changed our understanding of creativity, combines social scientific methods with qualitative analysis to produce a fundamentally new interpretation of modern art that will give readers a far deeper appreciation of the art of the past century, and of today, than is available elsewhere.

畢加索畫傳

……凡是知道畢加索名字的人，絕大多數並不知道他的作品。這是一個太奇特的畫家。他用一生的作品來描述一個畢加索，因為他的所有作品，幾乎就是他自己坦率的自傳，他繪畫的主體始終都是他自己、他的情人、他的朋友、他的崇拜者，總之，這一切構成了畢加索的精美細膩而又傷感的個人世界。因此不了解畢加索奇特的經歷，確實無法理解他的作品。

畢加索的目光是質詢，是以一個陌生者的目光對著一個異已世界的深深質詢。在這種質詢中，有著懷疑、驚奇和深藏的驚恐，並且把這樣的驚奇與驚恐一併傳遞給我們。畢加索以他開創的立體主義繪畫聞名於世，然而，他並不僅僅是一位立體主義畫家，他始終隨著他自己的時代，從立體主義轉向新古典主義，又轉向超現實主義、表現主義，幾乎在他涉足的每一個美術流派領域裡，他都取得了輝煌的成就。

Innovating Women: Contributions to Technological Advancement

Edited by Pooran Wynarczyk, Susan Marlow
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

This book focuses on the challenges facing women who seek to create innovative entrepreneurial ventures, whilst also celebrating their scientific activities and contribution to technological advancement, society and economic development as a whole. It investigates and demonstrates the innovative and inventive achievements of women in the knowledge based society. It is almost universally accepted that scientific activities and discoveries are the most important sources of productivity growth and increased material welfare. Throughout history, women have been making significant contributions to scientific discoveries, innovation and inventions. However, they do not feature prominently in the inventive and innovative literatures except as exceptional examples. Current literature on scientific activities and discoveries, various facets of R&D or the management of technological change and scientific activities tends to ignore the gender dimension. This book seeks to redress this balance and contribute to current research and debate.

For individuals in every walk of life and in every stage of change, this compact, no-nonsense book captures both the heart--and the "how"--of successful change. Organizations are forced to change faster and more radically than ever. How are companies faring in meeting these challenges--and what can we learn from their experiences? In this powerful follow-up book--organized around Leading Change's revolutionary eight-step change process--Kotter and co-author Dan Cohen reveal the results of their research in over 100 organizations in the midst of large-scale change. What they found may surprise you. Although most organizations believe change happens by making people think differently--Kotter and Cohen say the key lies more in making them feel differently. They introduce a new dynamic--"see-feel-change"--that sparks and fuels action by showing people potent reasons for change that charge their emotions. Through true stories from real people, the authors present a play-by-play of challenges encountered, mistakes made, and lessons learned through each of the eight steps of change--and offer tips and tools readers can apply within their own organizations.

How to create a company that not only sustains, but surpasses-that moves beyond the imperative to be "less bad" and embrace an ethos to be "all good" .

From the Inspired Protagonist and Chairman of Seventh Generation, the country's leading brand of household products and a pioneering "good company," comes a one-of-a-kind book for leaders, entrepreneurs, and change agents everywhere. The Responsibility Revolution reveals the smartest ways for companies to build a better future-and hold themselves accountable for the results. Thousands of companies have pledged to act responsibly; very few have proven that they know how. This book will guide them. The Responsibility Revolution presents fresh ideas and actionable strategies to commit your company to a genuine socially and environmentally responsible business and culture, one that not only competes but wins on values.

• Points the way for innovators and influencers to generate trust by becoming transparent, elicit people's passion and creativity, turn customers into collaborators, transform critics into allies, rewrite the rules and reinvent business

• Shows how to build a socially and environmentally responsible yet genuinely good company and an authentic brand

• Drawing on groundbreaking interviews with real-world change leaders, Hollender and Breen present lessons and insights from the "good company"' parts of big companies like IBM and eBay, trailblazers like Patagonia and Timberland, and emerging dynamos like Linden Lab and Etsy

The Responsibility Revolution equips people with the tactics, models, and mind-sets they need to compete in a world where consumers now demand that companies contribute to the greater good.

你無法忍受的人是指那些不按你意思去做的人、做你不想要他們做的事的人，而且你不知道要如何應付的頭痛人物。現在，你再也不用受他們的氣了！雖然你不能改變頭痛人物，不過，你可以用一種能讓他們改變自己的方式來和他們溝通，你就能在他們有不好的行為時，知道該怎麼應付他們。

本書將幫助你辨識並組合有效的溝通要素。

其實，和問題人物的溝通，就好像打電話一樣，如果想要電話接通，你撥的號碼順序就必須完全正確。即使只漏掉一個數字，你的電話就無法接通。如果事後才想到撥區域號碼，你的電話就會接錯線了。要是知道電話號碼、撥號的方法也正確、和你無法忍受的人進行完全的互動是可能的！

不幸的是，總有一些頭痛人物，無論你怎麼做，就是不願意接你的電話。面對這些並不多見的情況，你可以把應付無法忍受的人，想成是到了溝通健身房，頭痛人物會幫助你鍛鍊出溝通肌肉，並激發出你的溝通潛能，也許以後，這可能正是你在另一個時空，維持一次更有價值的關係所需要的力量。

面對人際問題，我們希望你的注意力能集中在以下四個主要領域：

１．首先，我們要看一下使人變得難纏的各種原因，碰到有人大吼大叫時，有人會不發一語，有人會發動反擊。這些有趣的差別正說明了不同的行為動機導致的差異。一旦你了解這些差異，就比較不會把這些棘手的行為當作是純粹個人的問題了。

２．再來，我們將檢視基本的溝通技巧，這將有助於化衝突為合作，轉情緒為理性，將暗中的計劃變成開誠佈公的對話。其實，在你平時與人相處時已經用上了這些基本技巧，但是在應付頭痛人物時，卻往往未能使用出來。我們會把溝通的過程說明白，讓你在遇到人們表現最糟的時候，可以活用這些技巧。

３．接下來，我們把焦點放在處理你無法忍受的十種棘手行為特定策略上，你將學會正確使人停止發牢騷、攻擊，發脾氣和不守信用。

４．在本書接近尾聲時，我們將論及如果你受不了自己時又該怎麼辦。到那時候，也許你已經看出自己也有些令人頭痛的行為，這一章會幫助你辨識並改變自己難纏的行為，因為你愈容易與人相處，要應付的棘手人物就愈少。

101 THINGS I LEARNED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL is a book that students of architecture will want to keep in the design studio and in their backpacks. It is also a book they may want to keep out of view of their professors, for it expresses in clear and simple language the things they tend to make murky and abstruse. These 101 concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation--from the basics of how to draw a line to the complexities of color theory--provide a much-needed primer in architectural literacy and make concrete what too often is left nebulous and open-ended in the architecture curriculum.

…Written by an architect and instructor who well remembers the fog of his own student days, 101 THINGS I LEARNED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL provides valuable guideposts for students navigating the architectural design studio and the rest of the architecture curriculum. Architecture graduates, from young designers to experienced practitioners, will turn to the book as well for inspiration and a guide back to basics when solving complex design problems.

The 48 Laws of Power

check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills three thousand years of the history of power in to forty-eight well explicated laws. As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers.

Some laws teach the need for prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), the virtue of stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and many demand the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"), but like it or not, all have applications in real life.

Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, P. T. Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded--or been victimized by--power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

I Moved Your Cheese: For Those Who Refuse to Live as Mice in Someone Else's Maze

Deepak Malhotra
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

If you were a mouse trapped in a maze and someone kept moving the cheese, what would you do?

Over a decade ago the bestselling business fable Who Moved My Cheese? offered its answer to this question: accept that change is inevitable and beyond your control, don't waste your time wondering why things are the way they are, keep your head down and start looking for the cheese.

But success in the areas of innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity, leadership and business growth--as well as personal growth--depends on the ability to push the boundaries, reshape the environment, and play by a different set of rules: our own. With that in mind, Harvard Business School professor Deepak Malhotra offers a radically different answer to this question.

Malhotra tells an inspiring story about three unique and adventurous mice--Max, Big and Zed--who refuse to accept their reality as given. As we watch their lives unfold and intersect, we discover that instead of just blindly chasing after the cheese, each of us has the ability to escape the maze or even reconfigure it to our liking.

In the face of established practices, traditional ideas, scarce resources and the powerful demands or expectations of others, we often underestimate our ability to control our own destiny and overcome the constraints we face--or think we face. I Moved Your Cheese reminds us that we can create the new circumstances and realities we want, but first we must discard the often deeply ingrained notion that we are nothing more than mice in someone else's maze. As Zed explains, "You see, Max, the problem is not that the mouse is in the maze, but that the maze is in the mouse."

儘管任何一段歷史都有它不可替代的獨特性，可是，1978年—2008年的中國，卻是最不可能重複的。在一個擁有近13億人口的大國裡，僵化的計劃經濟體制日漸瓦解了，一群小人物把中國變成了一個巨大的試驗場，它在眾目睽睽之下，以不可逆轉的姿態向商業社會轉軌。

本書記載了中國1978-2008年間的企業變革，作者細緻地描述了中國企業變革的草莽時代，人們從他的文字中可以重溫改革開放初期洶湧的商品大潮和整個社會的躁動與不安，年廣久、步鑫生、袁庚等早期中國改革歷史上的風雲人物一一重現。同時，作者對海爾、聯想、萬科等知名企業的創業期有非常生動的記錄。

書中沒有用傳統的教科書或歷史書的方式來寫作這部著作，而是站在民間的角度，以真切而激揚的寫作手法描繪了中國企業在改革開放年代走向市場、走向世界的成長、發展之路。

作者把人物和事件放在一個國際和國內的政策、社會和當時的現實這樣的大背景中，以整體和個別相結合的描述手法，將一部中國企業的曲折發展歷程清晰地呈現在讀者面前。規模宏大，史料翔實，筆調細緻，整部書稿再現出人們在歷史創造中的激情、喜悅、吶喊和苦惱。

Love & Revolution: A Novel about Song Qingling and Sun Yat-sen (行道天涯)

Ping Lu
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

"Death is inevitably the end of a journey. Death also allows the journey to go back to the beginning."

In this bold novel, one of Taiwan's most celebrated authors reimagines the lives of a legendary couple: Sun Yat-sen, known as the "Father of the Chinese Revolution," and his wife, Song Qingling.

Born in 1866, Sun Yat-sen grew up an admirer of the rebels who tried to overthrow the ruling Manchu dynasty. He dreamed of strengthening China from within, but after a failed attempt at leading an insurrection in 1895, Sun was exiled to Japan. Only in 1916, after the dynasty fell and the new Chinese Republic was established, did he return to his country and assume the role of provisional president.

While in Japan, Sun met and married the beautiful Song Qingling. Twenty-six years her husband's junior, Song came from a wealthy, influential Chinese family (her sister married Chiang Kai-shek) and had received a college education in Macon, Georgia. Their tumultuous and politically charged relationship fuels this riveting novel. Weaving together three distinct voices—Sun's, Song's, and a young woman rumored to be the daughter of Song's illicit lover—Ping Lu's narrative experiments with invented memories and historical fact to explore the couple's many failings and desires. Touching on Sun Yat-sen's tormented political life and Song Qingling's rumored affairs and isolation after her husband's death, the novel follows the story all the way to 1981, recounting political upheavals Sun himself could never have imagined.

The Psychology of Happiness: A Good Human Life

Samuel S. Franklin
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

When Thomas Jefferson placed "the pursuit of happiness" along with life and liberty in The Declaration of Independence, he was most likely referring to Aristotle's concept of happiness, or eudaimonia. Eudaimonia is not about good feelings but rather the fulfillment of human potentials. Fulfillment is made possible by virtue; the moderation of desire and emotion by reason. The Psychology of Happiness is the first book to bring together psychological, philosophical, and physiological theory and research in support of Aristotle's view. It examines the similarity between Aristotle's concept of virtue and modern cognitive theories of emotion. It discusses the discovery of human potentials, the development of virtue and its neurological basis, the mistaken idea that fulfillment is selfish, and several other issues related to the pursuit of a good human life.

……作為生活在社會中的個人，沒有人不嚮往和追求友情。友情是陽光，溫暖了我們的心靈，使生活變得美好溫馨。因此，《悠悠心會—名家筆下的友情世界》 一書，最能讓我們產生會心不遠的感受。在作家們的筆端，友情是相知既久形成的默契，摒棄了一切繁文縟節，直接走入對方心靈(葉聖陶《與佩弦》)；是相互的關係，彼此的欣賞，發自內心而默默無語，有一種如水的平靜和深湛(馮驥才《愛在文章外》)；它從來不受職業身份地位差別的限制，只聽從心靈的呼喚(舒婷《在澄澈明淨的天空下》)；它又同日夕謀面厮守並無必然關聯，心靈尋找自己的朋友有其獨特的方式，儘管山遙水遠緣慳一面，但數載間的書信往還，已在兩顆心間結成一條堅韌的紐帶，這豈是浮泛的交往所能比及的(韓小蕙《悠悠心會》)! 這些篇章，是友情的記錄，更是心聲的寫照，它們滙合在一起，便奏出了一闋讚頌真摰友情的交響樂，在我們心靈的回音壁上激起宏大悠遠的回響，餘音裊裊，如縷不絕。

Creating Personal Presence: Look, Talk, Think, and Act Like a Leader

Dianna Booher
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

It may be difficult to define, but we all know presence when we encounter it. Someone walks into the room and people step aside. Heads turn. When those with presence speak, people listen. When they ask, people answer. When they lead, people follow. People with presence look confident and comfortable, speak persuasively, think clearly even under pressure, and act with intention and integrity. Presence is not something you have to be born with. It’s not about status symbols or position. It’s not about who you are but about how you are. And it’s something anyone can learn. Award-winning speaker and consultant Dianna Booher provides scores of practical tips on the physical qualities, communication techniques, thought processes, and attitudes that underlie powerful personal presence. This comprehensive guide will enable readers to become compelling leaders no matter what their current position. Booher shows how to master the dozens of small and significant things that work together to convey personal presence. She details how dress, body language, manners, and even your surroundings enhance credibility and build rapport. You’ll learn to use voice and language to demonstrate competence and deliver clear and memorable messages, think strategically and organize ideas coherently, and relate to others in ways that convey genuine interest, respect, good humor, and reliability. Personal presence can help you get a date, a mate, a job, or a sale. It can help you lead a meeting, a movement, an organization, or a nation. Presence can take you wherever you want to go. With Dianna Booher’s expert, entertaining advice, you can have the same kind of influence as the most successful CEOs, celebrities, and civic leaders.

The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries Are Failing and What Can Be Done About It

Paul Collier
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

In the universally acclaimed and award-winning The Bottom Billion, Paul Collier reveals that fifty failed states--home to the poorest one billion people on Earth--pose the central challenge of the developing world in the twenty-first century. The book shines much-needed light on this group of small nations, largely unnoticed by the industrialized West, that are dropping further and further behind the majority of the world's people, often falling into an absolute decline in living standards. A struggle rages within each of these nations between reformers and corrupt leaders--and the corrupt are winning. Collier analyzes the causes of failure, pointing to a set of traps that ensnare these countries, including civil war, a dependence on the extraction and export of natural resources, and bad governance. Standard solutions do not work, he writes; aid is often ineffective, and globalization can actually make matters worse, driving development to more stable nations. What the bottom billion need, Collier argues, is a bold new plan supported by the Group of Eight industrialized nations. If failed states are ever to be helped, the G8 will have to adopt preferential trade policies, new laws against corruption, new international charters, and even conduct carefully calibrated military interventions. Collier has spent a lifetime working to end global poverty. In The Bottom Billion, he offers real hope for solving one of the great humanitarian crises facing the world today.

North Korea is today one of the last bastions of hard-line Communism. Its leaders have kept a tight grasp on their one-party regime, quashing any nascent opposition movements and sending all suspected dissidents to its brutal concentration camps for "re-education." Kang Chol-hwan is the first survivor of one of these camps to escape and tell his story to the world, documenting the extreme conditions in these gulags and providing a personal insight into life in North Korea. Part horror story, part historical document, part memoir, part political tract, this record of one man's suffering gives eyewitness proof to an ongoing sorrowful chapter of modern history.

Richard Watson
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

We are on the cusp of a revolution. Mobile phones, computers and iPods are commonplace in hundreds of millions of households worldwide, influencing how we think and shaping how we interact. In the future, smart machines will compete with clever people for employment and even human affection. We are shifting to a world where knowledge will be automated and people will be rewarded instead as conceptual and creative thinkers. Hence being able to think and act in ways that machines cannot will become vital. Ideas are the currency of this new economy and curiosity and imagination are among the key raw materials. But what happens to the rigour of our thinking in a world where we never really sit still or completely switch off? What are some of the unexpected consequences of digital information on the 100 billion cells and quadrillion connections inside our brains? Future Minds illustrates how to maximise the potential of digital technology and minimise its greatest downside, addressing the future of thinking and how we can ensure that we unleash the extraordinary potential of the human mind. In this absorbing new book, discover all about: the sex life of ideas; the rise of the screenager; generations, gender and geography; delving deep inside your head; how to clear a blocked brain; why clever people make dumb mistakes; why we are so afraid of doing nothing; what we can do to reclaim our brains.

中國現代文學三十年

錢理群, 溫儒敏, 吳福輝 著
online access from Apabi
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

由錢理群等三位學者撰述的《中國現代文學三十年》修訂本，已被列為普通高等教育“九五”教育部重點教材。這部近六十萬字的現代文學史著作，既注意吸收前人關于作家、作品和文體研究的成果，又克服了以往文學史的敘事模式與狹窄格局，拓寬了研究領域，在“文學現代化”這一命題下，形成了學術品味濃厚的獨異的特色。

首先，在結構布局上，全書按照1917—1949年的歷史分期分為三編，但對各個時期的社會政治形勢只作簡約的交代，著重闡釋各個階段重要的文學思潮與文學現象，從文學演進過程與歷史聯系中去分析文學自身的規律與特點。這本書雖然也按文體分類，卻注重突出各種文體的性質、走向以及不同流派的特點，並對某些代表藝術高峰的作家作品作專章論述，每章還附錄了年表。

在對重要作家的評論中，該書力避對作家生平的羅列和對作品情節冗長的復述，而是重視作品的藝術成就和美學價值，尤其注意分析作品產生久遠影響的原因。如第二章魯迅（一），在評論魯迅小說的結構模式與深邃意蘊時，特意標出“說不盡的魯迅”一節，綜合了近年來學界對“阿Ｑ精神”的人類學內涵的探討。該書還把沈從文列為專章，表示了對這位構築“湘西世界”，“充當現代中國文化的批判者角色”的文化人的同情和理解。

這些都是過去文學史著作所沒有的或所省略的。

對于文學流派，該書不只是強調主流文學，而且也能從地域、文化環境的視角，去關照京派、海派、新感覺派、先鋒派等趣味各異的文學派別，力求恢復現代文學色彩紛呈、枝葉繁茂的本來面貌。
