近十年香港流行「支爆」理論，相信當中國經濟崩潰，便會激化社會矛盾深化。只要發生一些輕微事件，就會引爆大多數人民對中國政府的不滿，從而全國陷入動亂，最終迫使中國共產黨政府倒台。 今期《如水》從地緣戰略、國際關係學者布蘭茲 (Hal Brands) 和貝克利 (Michael Beckley) 的書籍《危險地帶：與中國的衝突即將到來 (Danger Zone: The Coming Conflict with China)》，開始談「支爆」…… 我們可以怎樣分析「支爆」，各路專家又有甚麼看法？答案全在《如水》第九期「親，支要爆了嗎？」

一部《湯姆叔叔的小屋》引發美國內戰； 一篇〈拜倫夫人真實的一生〉引起英國譁然， 透過日記及書信，本書帶你重新認識這位極具正義的多產作家 ──哈里特‧伊莉莎白‧比徹‧斯托 「有幸跟斯托夫人成為鄰居，並陪伴她走到人生的終點。她是我寫作上的啟蒙者，更是我生活中的好朋友，她的作品引領了廢奴文學的興起，更喚醒了社會平權意識。好在這些都被其子查理斯‧斯托先生詳細地記錄下來，為後人留下這部權威的《斯托夫人傳》。這是一部寶貴的精神財富。」──美國大文豪馬克‧吐溫（Mark Twain） 「斯托夫人的《湯姆叔叔的小屋》作為一部文學作品，它是『文學史上最偉大的勝利』；《斯托夫人傳》作為一部傳記，它是『傳記史上最為客觀的』經典作品，儘管它出自其子查理斯‧斯托。」──美國著名詩人亨利‧華茲華斯‧朗費羅（Henry Wadsworth Longfellow） 「斯托夫人不僅是多產作家，在美國乃至世界文壇的地位舉足輕重；她同時更是一位社會運動家，作品和行動都影響了美國的社會，公正地建立和左右了廢奴運動。這些細節你會在閱讀《斯托夫人傳》中尋覓得到。」──《紐約時報書評版》（The New York Times Book Review） 「斯托夫人的經典作品《湯姆叔叔的小屋》在我們週刊連載的最後一期結語中，曾謙虛地說這部書是上帝寫的，她只是上帝的一支筆而已。我們都知道偉大的作品背後必然是作家悲天憫人的情懷，好在其子為我們揭開了斯托夫人的創作靈感和前後的背景，這部傳記也幫讀者走近這位堅強果敢的『小婦人』」。──《民族時代》（The National Era） ▷▶▷▶ ▎《湯姆叔叔的小屋》 我無法控制這個故事的長度，它是自然而然從我的筆下流淌下來的。 1851年，斯托夫人開始在《民族時代》上連載《湯姆叔叔的小屋》，當時宣布要連載3個月左右，但直到1852年4月1日才結束。當時，編輯都認為這是只有十幾個章節的普通故事而已，沒想到，讀者不斷要求繼續連載且各方都給予了正面評價與鼓勵。最為重要的是，斯托夫人相信自己肩負著神聖使命，正是這樣的使命感驅使她不斷拓展故事，直到原本看似平淡無奇的故事成為一部聞名世界的偉大傑作。 ▎《牧師的求婚》與《奧爾島的珍珠》 我再也見不到我親愛兒子的臉龐，無法再撫摸著他的肩膀，無法再聽到他的聲音了。這件事沒有削弱我對上帝的任何信仰，但我也不認為上帝的這一切安排都是正確的。 18

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.

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

◎貝聿銘：「雖然路易斯•康的作品不多，但每個都是經典。」★台灣第一本介紹路易斯．康的專書一次含括建築家小傳、哲學思考、作品介紹、實踐方法★路易斯．康是◆繼萊特（Frank Lloyd Wright）之後，美國最重要的建築名家。◆當代建築最重要的精神導師。◆影響安藤忠雄、改變世界美學的建築大師。美國建築師、教育家、哲學家路易斯．康（Louis Isadore Kahn, Estonia 1901 / New York 1974），為二十世紀最傑出的建築師之一，發展出一套嶄新的理論性和造型的語言，為現代建築注入新的生命。分散於美國、印度及孟加拉的一些主要作品，都在其一生最後的二十年間完成。作品整合了結構系統、材料、光線、幾何原型、人性價值於一體。他於1971年獲得美國建築師學會金質獎章、獲選美國文藝學院院士，1972年獲英國皇家建築師學會金質獎章。從美國建築師學會所設立的「廿五週年建築作品獎」（Twenty-five Year Award）便可看出，路易斯．康的作品備受建築專業人士所肯定。該獎項每年只選出一件作品，自1969年首次頒發至2014年以來，所選出的四十五件作品中，路易斯．康就有五件，僅次於艾羅•沙陵南（Eero Saarinen）的六件。兩人最引人矚目的原因不僅是獲獎次數最多，更難得的是，他們在相對短暫的建築生涯中，創造出最多的傳世之作，完成設計作品的良率非常驚人。本書分三大部分。因為「靜謐與光線」（Silence and Light）是路易斯．康最後的哲學概念，第一部分「靜謐與光明的建築旅程」呈現路康的小傳，介紹路康的成長背景、各階段作品背後的構想與影響。第二部分「空間本質的探尋」，是路康六座代表性作品的深入賞析。第三部分「建築的內在革命」讓我們看到，路康的哲學思考讓硬梆梆的結構、建築設備系統增添了生命力與現代性，誠如他所言「建築是深思熟慮的空間創造」（Architecture is the thoughtful making of space），建築除了機能角色之外，還可以喚起人類永恆價值的情感與象徵意義。路易斯•康出生於蘇聯所控制之下的愛沙尼亞，原本的姓氏為舒慕伊羅斯基（Schmuilowsky）的猶太家庭，在改名為路易斯•康之前，名為萊瑟-伊澤（Leiser-Itze Schmuilowsky），親朋好友都叫他路（Lou）。本書內文皆已「路康」稱之。

The cat knows a lot about being a cat. They know a cat will sleep anywhere (a box, a keyboard, a sink, and Boo's bed) and any time of day. They know what cats like and do not like to eat. They also know that although they are different, they're happy to have housemates like Pepper and Boo.Harper cleverly shifts point-of-view between the cat and two dogs, creating laugh-out-loud moments through her text and art that younger readers will want to return to again and again.
