本書作者認為，資本主義是一種能將各類資產轉換成資本的制度，它的本質特徵是以營利為目的的投資；資本主義生產取決對僱傭勞動的剝削，工人們變成了馬克思所說的「工資奴隸」；危機和不穩定性期只是例外。資本主義改變了世界的同時，自身也在發生變革。在他看來，資本主義在經歷了商業資本主義、工業資本主義、金融資本主義的同時，也經歷了兩次轉型：從無序型資本主義轉變為管控型資本主義，後者的特徵是福利國家、國有化運動和「

在1949年軍事勝利的形勢下，中國共產黨離開熟悉的農村根據地，逐步接管城市，進入陌生的政治文化生態，恢復經濟、改造機構、鞏固政權。高崢教授強調由此啓動的文化轉型，與政權更迭具有同等重要的意義。本書以杭州為中心，詳細考察1949至1954年間中共對接管幹部的準備和訓練、城市政策的制定與對話，以及接管後城市與鄉村、南方與北方、革命與傳統等不同文化之間的碰撞和互動。在此過程中，革命者改造了傳統城市，城市

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。

How do public markets, as ordinary as they seem, carry the weight of a city’s history? How do sucheveryday buildings reflect a city’s changing political, social, and economic needs, through their yearslong transformations in forms, functions, and management? Integrating architecture and history, this book invites readers to go through the growth and governance of colonial Hong Kong by tracing the past and present of public markets as a study of extensive firsthand historical materials. As the readers witness the changes in Hong Kong markets from hawker pitches to classical market halls to clean modernist municipal complexes, the book offers a new perspective of understanding the familiar everyday markets with historical contexts possibly unfamiliar to most, studying markets as a microcosm of the city and a capsule of its history. -------------- This book is a robust and in-depth study of the market building history of Hong Kong since the 1840s and contributes to a holistic un

Tripitaka and his three disciples, Monkey, Pigsy, and Sandy, were chosen to undertake a pilgrimage to India, during which they came across all sorts of dangers and difficulties. This time, the Flaming Mountain blocked their way, and they needed a little help from the Princess Iron Fan and Bull Demon, well, parents of the Red Boy, who wanted to eat up Tripitaka and was just defeated by Monkey. Things never go smooth for them! My Favourite Chinese Stories is a collection of three Chinese stories specially selected and retold in English for young readers. The first story is from Chinese mythology, while the other two are from classical Chinese literature. They are widely known to the Chinese people, and reflect, in varying degrees, some of the essential characteristics of Chinese culture. Each story is accompanied by beautiful full-colour illustrations drawn by Lo King-man as well as audio narration by the author Pamela Youde.

Mongolia, a vibrant democracy landlocked between Russia and China, stands on the edge of becoming Asia’s next boom nation—one of the richest countries per capita in the region. Referred to as the “wolf economy” for its vast natural resources—copper, gold, and rare earth metals—today, it is also home to a growing number of cutting-edge tech startups and international lifestyle brands. Its vast steppe landscape lends itself not only to herding and tourism but also renewable energy production and filmmaking. This book is about the individuals who are fighting to strengthen the country’s democracy and diversify its economy. It is about innovators aiming to realize Mongolia’s promise as a hub for green energy, tech and lifestyle entrepreneurs who are shaking up traditional industries, and go-getters who have left high-flying jobs on Wall Street to return to the country they love and play their part in moving it forward. Unlocking a country’s potential is never easy. But if

The rapid developments of electronic communication in the past decades have resulted in a huge amount of clinical knowledge becoming readily available to patients and the general public. At the same time, with the increasing number of complaints and court cases relating to healthcare disputes, knowledge in healthcare ethics and law is increasingly important in the education, training and practices of lawyers as well. This book aims at helping healthcare practitioners (HCPs) to gain some basic and practical knowledge in the two important areas of clinical ethics and laws, so that they will become better practitioners upholding the standard of care, concentrate on taking care of their patients and stay away from unnecessary legal battles.

A rare and valuable contribution to our understanding of how knowledge traverses linguistic and cultural boundariesTranslation and the History of Knowledge is an anthology honoring Professor Lawrence Wang-chi Wong's contributions to translation studies and Chinese translation history. This volume comprises fourteen articles by leading scholars from diverse disciplines, including translation studies, comparative literature, and East Asian studies, to examine the multifaceted role of translation in knowledge production and transmission. Spanning from the Jesuits' cross-cultural communication in the seventeenth century to the translational efforts of sinologists and missionaries in the twentieth century, these articles highlight not only the cultural mediation by Western and Chinese scholars but also the pivotal role of translation in shaping cultural ideas.
