This book explores the theory and practice of open access, including various mechanisms and models, such as Read and Publish agreements that are driving the movement forward.

Open Access in Theory and Practice investigates the theory-practice relationship in the domain of open access publication and dissemination of research outputs.

Drawing on detailed analysis of the literature and current practice in OA, as well as data collected in detailed interviews with practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, the book discusses what constitutes ‘theory’, and how the role of theory is perceived by both theorists and practitioners. Exploring the ways theory and practice have interacted in the development of OA, the authors discuss what this reveals about the nature of the OA phenomenon itself and the theory-practice relationship.

Open Access in Theory and Practice contributes to a better understanding of OA and, as such, should be of great interest to academics, researchers, and students working in the fields of information science, publishing studies, science communication, higher education policy, business, and economics. The book also makes an important contribution to the debate of the relationship between theory and practice in information science, and more widely across different fields of the social sciences and humanities.

近年來，圍繞新界「丁權」的「傳統權益」問題，香港社會時有爭論。所謂「丁權」，是指香港新界原居民的男性後人（即「男丁」），按殖民地時代沿用至今的「小型屋宇政策」（丁屋政策），獲准在新界的私人土地上興建房屋居住。《基本法》第四十條規定：「『新界』原居民的合法傳統權益受香港特別行政區的保護。」但對於何謂「新界原居民的合法傳統權益」，香港特別行政區應如何保護此類權益，《基本法》第四十條並沒有明示。因此，「丁權」的存廢爭議，焦點也就落在其是否《基本法》所指的新界原居民合法傳統權益之上。

「丁權」涉及新界原居民的利益和《基本法》的解釋，特區政府一直未敢妄動。本書作者特以此為主題，嘗試解釋《基本法》第四十條的學理、規範內涵，以釐清「合法傳統權益」的內容。書中提出了一系列的問題：「新界」和原居民由何而來？傳統權益包括哪些？《基本法》對原居民的權益作了何種保障？原居民權益是特權嗎？誰有權解釋《基本法》第四十條？適宜的解釋方法為何？「丁權」屬於合法傳統權益嗎？調整「丁屋政策」非修改《基本法》不可嗎？

「丁權」問題多年來已為特區政府造地及香港居民帶來困擾及不滿。作者透過回顧大量文獻，逐一解答以上問題，同時考察了《基本法》第四十條的起草過程和歷史背景，以探明立法原意，梳理了「新界」原居民權益可能面臨的憲制挑戰，冀能為此議題提供客觀、中立的法學研究，並嘗試探尋特區政府在其自治權限內調整此一「新界」政策的空間。對《基本法》及新界研究有興趣的人士，本書值得參考。

When you put learning at the center of everything you do, you grow your career, your leadership, your relationships, and your joy and fulfillment in life.

The Best Minds: A Story of Friendship, Madness, and the Tragedy of Good Intentions

PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • Named a Top 10 Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Slate, and People

One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2023

“Brave and nuanced . . . an act of tremendous compassion and a literary triumph.” —The New York Times

“Immensely emotional and unforgettably haunting.” —The Wall Street Journal

Acclaimed author Jonathan Rosen’s haunting investigation of the forces that led his closest childhood friend, Michael Laudor, from the heights of brilliant promise to the forensic psychiatric hospital where he has lived since killing the woman he loved. A story about friendship, love, and the price of self-delusion, The Best Minds explores the ways in which we understand—and fail to understand—mental illness.

When the Rosens moved to New Rochelle in 1973, Jonathan Rosen and Michael Laudor became inseparable. Both children of college professors, the boys were best friends and keen competitors, and, when they both got into Yale University, seemed set to join the American meritocratic elite.

Michael blazed through college in three years, graduating summa cum laude and landing a top-flight consulting job. But all wasn’t as it seemed. One day, Jonathan received the call: Michael had suffered a serious psychotic break and was in the locked ward of a psychiatric hospital.

Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, Michael was still battling delu­sions when he traded his halfway house for Yale Law School. Featured in The New York Times as a role model genius, he sold a memoir, with film rights to Ron Howard. But then Michael, in the grip of an unshakeable paranoid fantasy, stabbed his girlfriend Carrie to death and became a front-page story of an entirely different sort.

Tender, funny, and harrowing by turns, The Best Minds is Jonathan Rosen’s magnificent and heartbreaking account of good intentions and tragic outcomes whose significance will echo widely.
