史景遷史學研究起始之作，開啟西方漢學新面向。細膩書寫康熙寵臣曹寅的家族興衰，反映清朝政治、財經、社會等多元面向，立體再現康熙盛世的浮世織錦。曹寅作為康熙皇帝的家奴，以歸順旗人的漢人身分，遊走滿漢二元社會，署理攸關稅收的兩淮鹽政與御用供給的江寧織造，聲勢日隆，其一生仕途和家族起落與康熙密切相關。史景遷企圖透過曹寅來反映康熙的統治手腕與清初政經社會面貌，也重構曹雪芹筆下《紅樓夢》背後的曹家真實景況。本書為史景遷師從明清史學家房兆楹所做的博士論文，擺脫以往西方學者著重在西方因素影響東方歷史的研究觀點，重新觀察明末清初中國社會的滿漢關係與社會變革。本論文榮獲珀特爾論文獎（the John Addison Porter Prize），不僅是史景遷一生學術著作的起點，也為中國近現代史學研究提供新面向。

From the extraordinary Hans Christian Andersen award winner Suzy Lee comes an inventive retelling of a Korean folk tale about a young traveler who outwits a rich, selfish man to ensure that villagers will always be able to rest in the shade of a magnificent tree.Villagers like to come to rest and cool down in the shade of a huge, old tree. But when a young traveler decides to join them one day, a rich man on whose land the tree stands demands they leave because he owns the tree and therefore its shade. Thinking fast, the traveler strikes a deal: one that will enable him to outsmart the rich man--and ensure that the villagers will always have access to the shade tree's shade, wherever it may fall.With simple, elegant illustrations, The Shade Tree is a striking story about one person's quest to combat greed for the greater good.

After Bear attempts an upside-down tree, it looks as if Christmas might be ruined for the pair. But maybe, just maybe, Bear and Mouse can reach a compromise in the spirit of the season.

A behind-the-scenes look into the filming of The Last Emperor through the photographs of Basil Pao. The Last Emperor Revisited is a true behind-the-scenes look at the making of Bernardo Bertolucci's legendary film through the exquisite eye of a photographer who had unlimited access to everyone and everything, everywhere. The photographs feature an international cast of characters who contributed to the creation of the masterpiece, from the director, filmmakers, and actors, to the farmers, workers, and students in and around Beijing who were recruited as extras. In July 1986, Basil Pao joined the cast and crew for the filming of The Last Emperor. His principal role was to play the young emperor Pu Yi's father Prince Chun, but he also served as a third assistant director and special stills photographer. The book contains over 250 photographs, including some of Pao's most iconic images of the film, along with a treasure trove of "never-been-seen" pictures captured during filming in Beijin
