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。

佛洛伊德讀張愛玲

佛洛伊德與張愛玲，一個是西方驚世駭俗的精神分析大師，一個是中國引領風潮的小說家；一個是男性本位，一個是女性立場；一個強調本能與文明的二元對立，一個愛蔥綠配桃紅，講究參差對照。 佛洛伊德與張愛玲，兩人都對凡人抱持興趣，都擅於挖掘人性的幽深，都被視為孤高自負。佛洛伊德喜歡文學，理論中援引文學作品總是信手拈來；張愛玲喜歡借用精神分析，駕馭亂倫變態成熟老練，性作隱流，處處夢境，字裡行間飄散佛洛伊德的氣味。 本書從佛洛伊德的觀點來閱讀張愛玲其人其作，分為夢境歇斯底里、伊底帕斯情結、自戀、戀物五個單元，最後以死亡本能的體現、現代文明的壓抑、自我分裂的迷惘、強迫重複的復歸總結佛洛伊德視野下的張愛玲。

此書所論的皆以古代文獻語言中的詞彙為依據。這並不是一本考證著作，然從衣冠器物形制到典章禮儀民俗，介紹所及，都有詞義分析，皆具文獻例證，實不乏精到的考證。從語言實際出發，發掘漢語詞彙的文化積蘊，注重語言學的應用性，為讀者解決常見、急需解決的問題，是《中國古代衣食住行》最重要的治學方法。《中國古代衣食住行》實際上體現了關於語言和文化關係的兩個重要思想︰一是語言是文化最重要的載體，二是文化主要凝聚於詞彙。

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.

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.
