本書從一段流傳於黑夜中的歌聲展開，描寫 Peg Leg Joe 如何以音樂與星空，為被奴役的人指引通往自由的方向。故事中，一家人與夥伴們依循歌詞所暗藏的線索，在夜色下辨認北斗七星，踏上充滿未知的旅程。文字節奏如同歌謠本身，沉穩而富有力量；插畫則以近似原始藝術的筆觸，搭配鮮明色塊，形塑出緊張卻充滿希望的氛圍。畫面構圖富有律動感，使閱讀過程彷彿隨著腳步前進。這本繪本不僅重現歷史，也讓年輕讀者理解自由得來不易，並因此獲得《Booklist》星級書評的高度評價。Illus. in full color. "Winter's story begins with a peg-leg sailor who aids slaves on their escape on the Underground Railroad. While working for plantation owners, Peg Leg Joe teaches the slaves a song about the drinking gourd (the Big Dipper). A couple, their son, and two others make their escape by following the song's directions. Rich paintings interpret the strong story in a clean, primitive style enhanced by bold colors. The rhythmic compositions have an energetic presence that's compelling. A fine rendering of history in picturebook format."--(starred) Booklist.

本書為 Anthony Reid 關於「東南亞商業時代」的重要研究之最終卷，聚焦十五世紀至十七世紀中葉之間，東南亞在全球貿易體系中迅速變動的關鍵時刻。當歐洲正經歷文藝復興與早期資本主義轉型時，東南亞同樣因香料貿易的蓬勃發展，迎來城市化、商業化與國家結構重組的深刻變革。作者指出，貿易導向的城市興起，使國家權力趨於集中與專制，伊斯蘭教、基督教與上座部佛教也在新的政治結構中快速傳播，改變了人們對信仰與個人道德的理解。Reid 將這些變化與歐洲、日本的歷史發展相互對照，同時也審慎分析東南亞在私人資本累積與國家穩定性上的限制。書末探討十七世紀中葉的危機，如何使東南亞逐步退出世界經濟舞台長達數百年。本書以嚴謹學術與清晰敘述見長，是理解東南亞歷史與全球早期現代化進程的重要經典。In The Lands Below the Winds--the first volume of a two-volume set chronicling the rise of Southeast Asian culture during the years from 1450 to 1680--Anthony Reid vividly explored everyday life in the different societies of the region, from diet, housing, commerce, and law to sexual and family relations, patterns of warfare, and popular entertainment. In doing so he enables us to perceive the underlying coherence and splendid variety in the complex mosaic of Southeast Asia.

Until recently, dominant theoretical paradigms in the comparative social sciences did not highlight states as organizational structures or as potentially autonomous actors. Indeed, the term 'state' was rarely used. Current work, however, increasingly views the state as an agent which, although influenced by the society that surrounds it, also shapes social and political processes. The contributors to this volume, which includes some of the best recent interdisciplinary scholarship on states in relation to social structures, make use of theoretically engaged comparative and historical investigations to provide improved conceptualizations of states and how they operate. Each of the book's major parts presents a related set of analytical issues about modern states, which are explored in the context of a wide range of times and places, both contemporary and historical, and in developing and advanced-industrial nations. The first part examines state strategies in newly developing countries.
