The Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong SAR (the ‘NSL’) promises to be the most important legal development in Hong Kong since the advent of the Basic Law. Many wondered in the aftermath of the NSL how the foundations of Hong Kong’s system might be changed and in what way the freedoms valued by Hong Kong may be affected. Supporters view the law as essential for the preservation of public order and the national security of China and to support the fundamental well-being of “One Country, Two Systems”, an arrangement that has been in place since the return of Hong Kong to China. Critics fear an adverse impact on the spirit of “One Country, Two Systems”.From a discussion initiated by the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law, this collection of essays brings together leading experts on Hong Kong and Chinese law to offer an exploratory study of the NSL and its impact on the legal system and the principle of the rule of law in Hong Kong

西方的「Law - 法律」普受亞非及東方各國所仿習，可是他們的法律多因水土不服而無法治之實。他們對法律或能論說如流、辯證無礙，但對「Law」的歷史淵源及原始本義，則因牽涉到基督教教義的主軸－the Law、羅馬十二表法，以及十三世紀羅馬教會的教義權威，艾奎那（Thomas Aquinas，1225–74）對Law 的闡釋，加上文化隔閡，不易窺知全貌。 本書精簡介紹西方法律的歷史淵源，說明六世紀受羅馬教會開化的西方蠻邦人（盎格魯撒克遜、法蘭克、日爾曼）將艾奎那的神學論述，發展為條理分明的學術：法律、哲學。十六世紀宗教改革時，這些西方人重視基督教律法（the Law）中的道德信念、耶穌言行，並據以行之。自此，西方遂在不斷演進中，造出法治文化與現代文明。 為讓國人對西方文化根源的律法、十二表法、艾奎那，有所認識，本書特選錄各具代表性的章節；尤其是審判與艾奎那對Law 的解說（包括：「罪疑輕判」等觀念），艾奎那早在八百多年前就說過了，卻少見於中國文獻，甚值參閱。又將英國十六世紀新教「憲法」，39 Articles，有關遵行「Law」的法規，以及大憲章沉睡四百年簡史，置於附錄。本書有些地方或與一般認知，不盡一致，但這並無大礙，反而有助於讀者追查事實。 本書還提醒國人，若光是仿抄西方現成的法制或法律，卻沒有自己的文化根基，猶如沙上建屋，穩固不足。實應謀長遠之計，參酌西方的成功歷程，以自己固有文化作為發展的基礎，方為上策。

National Book Award finalist Elizabeth Partridge reveals the life and work of Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of Central Park, the United States Capitol building's landscape, and more.

As a boy, he found refuge in the peace and calm of nature, and later as an adult, he dreamed of designing and creating access to parks for a growing and changing America. When New York City held a contest for the best park design for what would become Central Park, Olmsted won and became the father of landscape architecture.
