「至今書寫威尼斯最傑出作品」——《周日泰晤士報》 威尼斯——她，是個二分之一歡樂、二分之一憂鬱的城市。 這不是一本歷史書，但，包含了必要的歷史脈絡；這，也不是一本旅遊指南，但，我列出了我覺得最值得參觀的威尼斯景點；這也不算是報導。它和我原來客觀的認知報導毫無相似之處。它極端主觀、浪漫、印象派；是我的經歷，而不是以一個都市為主體。那是一個在特地時空、經由一雙特定的眼睛所見到的威尼斯……——Jan Morris 當代旅行文學名家Jan Morris在第二次世界大戰將近結束時第一次來到威尼斯，當時它仍然流露出奇特的孤立感和疏離；這也是威尼斯在歐洲數世紀以來如此獨特的原因。威尼斯是個一半歡樂、一半憂鬱的城市，但卻不是為眼前的不安憂鬱，而是為古老遺憾。作者因為熱愛威尼斯的感傷和浮華；喜歡它造就過去帝國輝煌那種徘徊不去的蔑視；它特性中主要的歲月和腐敗的味道，於是她一再重返威尼斯，並記錄下她對威尼斯的熱愛與威尼斯過往的輝煌。

Look to the sky!High above the ground, generation after generation, Native workers called skywalkers have sculpted city skylines, balancing on narrow beams, facing down terrifying heights and heartbreaking loss.

An indispensable reference to the development of the Chinese economy—past, present, and future.—DALE W. JORGENSON, Samuel W. Morris University Professor, Harvard University Since China undertook economic reform and opened its economy to the world in the late 1970s, its economy has been growing at an average annual rate of over 9 percent for more than four decades. No other economy in recorded history has grown at such a high rate and for such a long period as China has done. The questions that naturally arise are: Was the Chinese economy a miracle? Or was it a mere bubble? Will the Chinese economy begin to stagnate like the Japanese economy did in the 1990s, and perhaps decline? Will it be able to escape the “middle-income trap”? If it is not a miracle, can the Chinese development experience be replicated elsewhere? This book provides a comprehensive and detailed discussion of the remarkable growth of the Chinese economy over the past decades, by scrutinising the sources of e
