在当今的社会科学研究领域内,批判理论和诠释学可能是实证论以外最具影响力的社会研究理论。近年来，有学者把这两派糅合起来，称之为批判诠释论。本书旨在剖析批判诠释论的理论基础，并分别透过批判理论及诠释学来建立具体的分析架构，在社区发展和精神病的领域内，作非实证模式的实务社会研究。

Remembered today primarily as a poet, calligrapher, and critic, the protean Su Shi was an outspoken player in the contentious politics and intellectual debates of the Northern Song dynasty. In this comprehensive study, Ronald C. Egan analyzes Su's literary and artistic work against the background of eleventh-century developments within Buddhist and Confucian thought and Su's dogged disagreement with the New Policies of Wang Anshi. Egan explicates Su's views on governance, the classics, and Buddhism; and he describes Su's social-welfare initiatives, arrest for disloyalty, and exiles. Finding a key to the richness of Su's artistic activities in his vacillation on the significance of aesthetic pursuits, Egan explores Su's shi and ci poetry and Su's promotion of painting and calligraphy, looking specially at the problem of subjectivity. In a concluding chapter, he reconsiders Su's role as a founder of the wenren (“literati”) and challenges the conventional understanding of both Su and the Northern Song wenren generally.

阮新邦教授为英国里兹大学社会学博士，现任教于香港理工大学应用社会科学学系。 本书尝试透过哈伯玛斯的批判理论来探讨理性与社会实践的关系，由此检视现代社会的病态。极度个人主义的发展、价值中立的生活取向方式、市场机制和科层架构对人类行为的支配、以及科技理性当道，都强化了现代人际间的疏离关系。哈伯玛斯从对语言本质的分析，指出人类是冀盼著一种真诚而非扭曲的人际沟通，并以此去证成其对现代社会所作的批判是具有普遍的理性基础的。本书的另一个主旨，是从哈伯玛斯的批判理论的角度，特别是其程序理性，去检视香港九七回归前後的困境

A firm such as Schering-Plough that earns superior, long-run financial returns within its industry is said to enjoy a competitive advantage over its rivals. This note examines the logic of how firms create competitive advantage. It emphasizes two themes: First, to create an advantage, a firm must configure itself to do something unique and valuable. The firm must ensure that, were it to disappear, someone in its network of suppliers, customers, and complementors would miss it and no one could replace it perfectly. The first section uses the concept of'added value'to make this point more precisely. Second, competitive advantage usually comes from the full range of a firm's activities--from production to finance, from marketing to logistics--acting in harmony. The essence of creating advantage is finding an integrated set of choices that distinguishes a firm from its rivals. The second section shows how managers can analyze the full range of activities to understand the sources of added value.

《二十一世纪的台湾：大陆旅美学者之展望》是十四位中国大陆旅美社会科学教授用他们在台湾获得的资料写成的。本书用社会科学的方法全面论述了世纪之交的台湾，并对其在二十一世纪的前景作出展望。与其他同类著作不同，此书的特点在于它的专业性和广泛性。中国旅美社会科学教授协会是中国社会科学留美学者的集中代表，它的会员组成包括所有社会科学和人文科学领域。这次访台成员是教授协会的典型代表。 虽然本书作者的着眼点各有不同，写作手法各异，但每篇文章基本上都扣住了二十一世纪台湾的主题，从不同的角度探讨了台湾今后的发展趋势。本书的目

中国朱总理上任伊始就提出了以“新政”来改革中国，推进国家现代化的进程。他的“新政”意味着什麽？在实行“新政”过程中，他会面临怎样的挑战？他是否有能力应付挑战？他的改革将如何影响中国政治经济体制的转变？本书把这些问题放在中国中南海总体权力格局中进行了深入的分析，认为他的“新政”是一种和邓小平改革完全不同的模式。这种“新政”的发生和发展正在改变着中国的未来。本书作者是中国问题权威时事评论家，曾就读於北京大学，并获普林斯顿大学政治学博士学位，後在哈佛大学完成博士后研究。

本书是作者集三、四十年教学与研究心得的一本学术著作。 本书利用了大量原始资料，对台湾这三几百年来的发展，进行分析研究；并企图跨越台湾问题和两岸关系问题上流行的纷争和偏见，指出台湾当前的发展现象有其地缘政治和历史发展上的必然性及偶然性。 在本书，作者提出了一些突破性的议论：香港和澳门及台湾的'回归中华-共建中国'的进程及其前景，必须是在西方人结束在亚太地区第一个500年，开启第二个500年之际来反思与构想；即，中国作为一个文明大国和政经大国及人口大国，必须不断地进行改革开放，为本身及国外的发展增添有利的条

在香港这个弹丸之地，社会工作已有几十年的历史。一直以来，社会工作不是在一个真空状态下进行实践，而是因着本地独有的社会环境，加上前人累积的经验(包括本土及西方)而进行的。面对二十一世纪的来临，因着社会、文化、经济、政治等环境转变，社会上不少社群也因这些转变而面临冲击，甚至身处逆境。社会工作是助人的专业，自然也因此而面对新挑战。本书的目的旨在探讨社会工作理论与实践在这历史性时刻所面对的挑战及应走的方向。全书共有三部分，从不同层面探讨社会工作的道路。第一部分从宏观角度，尤其是现时文化与经济环境，探讨与社会工作实

本书从认同角度出发，通过对三位主角的比较研究，有更全面和深入的认识，确立在东西文化撞击下，三种回应时代挑战的模式。从三人人格的形成和表现，到三人年青时代改良主义运动的言论和活动，再到三人终其一生的著述和行迹，进行不同层次的钻研和比较，探索三种重要模式的形成和成型；并另外罗列许多例证，突显三种模式的典型意义。模式的探获，不仅有助於了解生活在东西文化交汇下，新加坡华人如何受到影响，如何调适自己，如何回应挑战，同时还可以反映在东西的对立与整合下，新加坡华人在社会、文化和政治方面，其合作时的分裂状况。

1999年正值香港中文大学新亚书院五十周年金禧校庆。五十年前，中国一代名儒钱穆先生及其同仁於风雨飘摇中创办了以“沟通东西文化”为办学宗旨的新亚书院。半个世纪以来，新亚书院历经岁月风霜，教书育人矢志不移，儒家与中国传统文化之思想精华随其学子的足迹，遍及世界各地。 这次金禧纪念活动历时数月，开展一系列研讨和主题讲座等活动，无疑是对中国文化及相关问题作了一次全面的反思和再认识。 本书将纪念活动中诸家识见收编成集，共30篇，分“传统文化的检讨”、“未来和开展的前瞻”及英文论文三大部份，再现了这一学术界盛事。本书

'社会工作＂作为一种'学＂，它的理论基础建立於一个颇为模糊的地基上，而且，这基础多是借助於社会学、心理学、哲学，甚至乎社会政策等学科。这种背景迫使中国大陆与香港的学者汇合一起，想为九七年代来的社会工作发展找出特有的理论基础，及说明社会工作的独特意义。西方社会工作亦有同样出现追寻'社会工作＂本质的努力，特别是英美的社会工作者。 在本书的第一部分，王思斌教授不单指向社会工作者与受助者之间的互动过程，也提议在文化上作出分析。韩明谟教授的文化与社会工作正好在这方面提供一个可能发展的方向。他以中华民族的基本特徵与素

现代化和文化认同是当代西方社会科学研究中方兴未艾的热门课题。台湾既有举世瞩目的现代化成就，又面临着复杂而敏感的文化认同问题，是学者研究这一课题不可多得的理想对象。 本书以现代化和文化认同问题为中心，对台湾半个多世纪以来的经济发展、宪政改革、社会变迁、妇女问题、大众文化、海外移民等进行了多角度多层次的探讨分析。全书取材丰富，立论严谨，文字活泼，深入浅出，是一部雅俗共赏，学术性和可读性兼具而又发人深省的作品。

In 2009 the management of Vale, a Brazilian diversified mining company and the largest iron ore producer in the world, was under pressure from at least two fronts. First, the emergence of China as the most important consumer of iron ore in the last few years had changed the pricing system for iron ore from long-term contracts based on negotiated'benchmark prices'to contracts based on spot prices, usually forcing mining companies to pay for shipping. Second, for Brazil's charismatic president, Lula, a former union leader, Vale's layoffs during the global financial crisis and its perceived move away from Brazil (as Vale increased its exports to China and purchased Chinese vessels to ship iron ore to Asia) were reasons to start an open campaign to pressure Vale and Agnelli to invest in integrated steel mills in Brazil. In October of 2009, the CEO of Vale, Roger Agnelli was going to meet with Lula and had to decide what to do to attenuate these political pressures. What could Agnelli do to deal with political pressures at home? Was the purchase of large vessels to ship iron ore to Asia a good decision at a time when the shipping industry had spare capacity?

近年来，有关社会科学本土化的讨论在华人学术圈子里愈来愈受到重视，同时也出版了不少书籍。然而，社会科学本土化研究里的不少基本问题却仍未取得较一致的看法。不少倡议本土取向研究的学者都以实证社会科学观为理所当然的讨论基础，而忽视了近二、三十年来西方学术界对社会科学本质及相应的问题所做的深入探索。本书可以说是第一本集子从后设理论层面对这些问题的反思。本书的讨论主要环绕在华人学术圈里本土化研究的主要倡议者(杨国枢、杨中芳和黄光国三位学者)的本土取向研究观而进行。此外，本书也会检视中国大陆和香港本土化研究的发展，以及

传统的中国家庭是一个综合体，她包含政治、经济、道德规范各方面的内容。这些内容又都和家族文化最核心的父子轴及由此延伸出来的亲缘关系融合在一起，使得这些内容都受到家庭伦理意涵的影响，从而建构出一个以家庭文化为模本的社会文化氛围。在这样的文化氛围里家庭伦理建立的终极关怀不仅赋予家庭生活以道德意义，也赋予人们在社会生活当中的行为以道德意义。进而，家庭伦理成为建构传统中国人自我的最重要因素。 本书尝试提出一个探讨当代中国人的人际关系及其自我观的理论架构。通过对[父子轴]、[差序格局]、[自我的一致性]等概念的讨论，

What makes a disease real? Why is it that patients with chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia are doubted when they say they are in pain, and cannot access the same benefits of patient-hood that others can? What defines the limits of our belief and, ultimately, compassion, when it comes to disease? These are the questions approached in this book, which draws upon patients'experiences and situates them among a diverse set of literatures, from the history and philosophy of medicine to the sociology of health and disease. The question of a patient's identity and their understanding of disease is often assumed to emerge from their relationship with healthcare, but the case is made here that other, inter-personal factors are more salient. What a patient with a contested illness comes up against is not simply a medical categorisation – it is a prevailing notion of disease across society, and one they struggle to assimilate themselves into. Contested Illness in Context will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as the history and philosophy of medicine, the sociology of health and illness, medical anthropology, or disease and illness generally. It may also interest patients and doctors who struggle with difficult medical cases.

Focuses on Inditex, an apparel retailer from Spain, which has set up an extremely quick response system for its ZARA chain. Instead of predicting months before a season starts what women will want to wear, ZARA observes what's selling and what's not and continuously adjusts what it produces and merchandises on that basis. Powered by ZARA's success, Inditex has expanded into 39 countries, making it one of the most global retailers in the world. But in 2002, it faces important questions concerning its future growth.

The book aims to develop competence in advanced Chinese particularly on business content. In contrast to the normal practice that language is taught in isolation from substantive content, Business Chinese presents the language in both content and context—the language and content is firmly context embedded.

To keep abreast of the real business world, all the texts and exercises are authentic materials coming from Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. With the learners'communication need in mind, the book integrates the oral language (listening and speaking) with the written language (reading and writing). Business Chinese is a practical guide for those who aspire to Chinese language and China business.

探讨'后郑和时代'的中国移民史与中国崛起论 六百年前，明朝永乐皇帝朱棣派太监郑和下西洋，惊动了亚洲各地的国王、酋首与地方权势，同时为中国的皇权建立了许多新的外交与贸易关系，近年来得到世界各国学者的关注，跟当今'中国崛起论'有相当的关系。这本集子的14篇论文，牵涉到三个'后郑和时代'的历史问题：一，中国，东南亚的移民变相史，明清的臣民跨出境外，从'奸商'的航海者改称为'侨民'，经过多方面的政治动荡而改称为'移民'；二，近年来'华人'概念的由来，和它在中国与国外的地位；三，兴起的中国，使我们如何看中国的新崛起

Investors and policymakers throughout the world were confronted with the risk of painful economic consequences arising from the large U.S. current account deficit. In 2007, the U.S. current account deficit was $731 billion, equivalent to 5.3% of GDP. The implications of the deficit were debated with intensity. At one extreme, it was argued that large deficits would eventually resolve themselves smoothly, even if they persisted for many more years. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was among those expecting a'benign resolution to the U.S. current account imbalance.'Other analysts, such as economists at the World Bank, believed the large deficits raised the risk of a sharp and disorderly fall of the dollar and that necessary macroeconomic adjustment could be painful, for the United States as well as for the rest of the world. The Financial Times asked:'How long will foreigners be prepared to make such generous'gifts'to the US?'In this environment, Berkshire Hathaway, run by legendary investor Warren Buffett, postulated that current account imbalances would lead to'some chaotic markets in which currency adjustments play a part'and announced to shareholders a plan to increase investment in overseas companies to protect against this risk. It remained to be seen what the short- and long-term implications of the current account deficit would ultimately yield.
