This book features five theme-based units on cross-disciplinary academic English skills, focusing on the needs of first-year undergraduate students. Each unit covers academic writing, reading and speaking skills. The units progressively take students through the steps needed to complete three common academic assignments: the essay, report and tutorial discussion. These steps include searching for sources, note-taking, establishing personal stance, synthesizing information from multiple sources and structuring academic texts. Each unit also includes opportunities for students to analyze texts, apply their critical thinking skills, try out what they have learnt in productive tasks, as well as reflect upon their progress.

第九期「Time Folds」無論在小說或電影中，時間旅行、平行時空等的題材大行其道。越是絢爛的狂想越能折射幽深慾望，正因時間的進程無以挽回，此刻的遺憾才讓我們渴求對過去的補償或由未來開啟的可能。《方圓》每四期根據一個大方向決定題目，從今期開始，將為「時間」大做文章。作為新系列前鋒，「Time Folds」立意跳脫線性常規，探究時間為何、如何摺疊變形――人的執念千變萬化，對時間的想像亦衍生紛繁形態。即使現實時間不可逆轉，但若我們願意把生命結晶為文字、為圖畫，一支緊緊握住的筆至少可以畫出時間的更多可能。

社會科學作為科學的一部分，其研究必須建立在一定的本體論與認識論基礎之上（尤其是本體論），而自笛卡爾到波普爾以來的科學哲學傳統，幾乎都不太觸及 “本體論”。因此，巴斯卡提出了一個顯然比波普爾的“劃界問題”更加根本的問題：是什麼（樣的本體存在）才使得科學活動成為可能？《科學的實在主義理論》一書則試圖回答這個問題。巴斯卡認為，世界應該被劃分成三個領域，即真實領域（Domain of Real）、事實領域（Domain of Actual）和經驗領域（Domain of Empirical），這三個領域依次真包含，即真實領域包含事實領域、事實領域包含經驗領域。三個領域對應的是世界運行的機制（mechanism）、事物（event）和經驗（experience）。人類的經驗生活存在於經驗領域；通過人類的想像和思考，事物能夠為人類所認識；但無論如何，人類無法利用自身的理念來直接觸及世界運行的機制。世界運行的機制在事實領域和經驗領域中始終存在著，人類的科學活動正是在事實領域和經驗領域中探索，因而能夠感知到機制的存在；但另一方面，由於機制存在於人類無法直接觸及的真實領域，因此窮盡對機制的探索是不可能的。只有在本體論上絕對主義的前提下強調認識論的相對主義，才能夠使得科學能夠在開放體系下踏實地在往真理的大道上前行。只有在科學實在主義的本體論前提下，才能在“科學發現的邏輯”引領下，制定出真正的“科學研究的綱領”。巴斯卡將科學哲學在本體論的意義上向前大大推進了一步。
