本書不是講述種種神話，而是闡述神話研究的種種方法，或者說神話的種種理論，並且是限定在現代神話理論的範圍之內。神話理論和神話本身一樣古老，其出現至少可以追溯到前蘇格拉底時代。本書論及的所有理論都把神話看作故事。誠然，泰勒(E. B. Taylor) 將故事轉變成了一種不言而喻的概括，但這一概括依然要由故事來承載。列維– 施特勞斯(Claude Lévi-Strauss) 超脫於故事以尋求神話的「結構

這是一本新清史的經典之作，開創了清帝國邊疆研究的先河。清帝國是中國歷史上疆域最遼闊的國家，本書聚焦於十九世紀的嘉峪關，以及嘉峪關西邊更廣袤的新征服之地─「新疆」，這塊土地佔了今日中國國土面積的六分之一。通過考察清政府在新疆實行的財政和民族政策，尤其是其對穆斯林人口最多的南疆的商業活動以及不同民族出身的商人所採取的管理和控制，作者試圖回答一個更深遠的問題，即清帝國如何向中國民族國家過渡這一歷史難題。

In this ground‐breaking, posthumous study, the late Lo Jung‐pang discusses the geographic, political,and commercial factors that led to the emergence of seapower and a navy under the Ming. WhileZheng He and his seven expeditions have received some scholarly attention, few understand the longhistory of maritime engagement which provided the nautical and technical background for thesevoyages. The evolution of this maritime engagement and its extension into the Indian Ocean is thefocus of Lo’s still‐timely and highly significant work.In addition to detailing the rise of the Ming navy and its extraordinary accomplishments, Lo alsoexamines some of the factors that led to the end of China’s first great maritime era: Why did Chinasuddenly seem to turn away from the seas? Were the military defeats in Annam and on the northernborders significant in this? Or were financial pressures key?Empire in the Western Ocean represents the most comprehensive and insightful English‐languagetreatment to date

The fact that Snow did not sneak into “red China” to gather information constituting the basis of his Red Start over China all alone is in many instances isunderstood even by scholars.Mao Zedong’s biography has been the subject of an international mountain of commentary in China and elsewhere. Biographies praising Mao and those slandering him are all based on the American journalist Edgar Snow’s (1905–1972) account in Red Star over China for the route Mao traveled from early childhood through his youth.How the “Red Star” Rose introduces the image of Mao and the biographical information made known to the world through the publication of Red Star, and with its publication the circumstances which they fundamentally undermined. Ishikawa Yoshihiro uses Mao Zedong as raw material to examine from whence and how ordinary historical information and images which we habitually use unconsciously come into being.He desires to help readers to reconsider the historicity of the generation of not only

The book brings studies of modern Thai history and culture into dialogue with debates in comparative intellectual history, Asian cultural studies, and postcolonial studies. It takes Thai Studies in new directions through case studies of the cultural hybridity and ambivalences that have emerged from the manifold interactions between Siam/Thailand and the West from 1850 to the present day. Central aims of The Ambiguous Allure of the West are to critique notions of Thai "uniqueness" or "exceptionalism" and locate Thai Studies in a broader, comparative perspective by arguing that modern Siam/Thailand needs to be understood as a semicolonial society. In contrast to conservative nationalist and royalist accounts of Thai history and culture, which resist comparing the country to its once-colonized Asian neighbours, this book's contributors highlight the value of postcolonial analysis in understanding the complexly ambiguous, interstitial, liminal and hybrid character of Thai/Western cultural

每一代歷史學家，都要重寫上一代歷史學家寫下的歷史。 著名歷史學家柯文，治學中國歷史至今六十年出頭，對中國歷史和歷史本身的思考經歷了一系列演變。在他的研究生涯中長久縈繞於心的，並非關心西方人自以為富有價值、自然而然、符合常規的歷史，而是志於深入中國，像中國人自己親歷一樣，最大程度地審視和重新理解中國歷史。 當初親身經歷的歷史，與後來重構的歷史迥然不同，書名《走過兩遍的路》正正象徵著這一關鍵的分別。
