In The Chinese Idea of a University: Phoenix Reborn, Rui Yang conceptualizes the cultural foundations of modern university development in Chinese societies. Instead of focusing on the uniqueness of the societies, this book aims to prove that one educational purpose could be fulfilled via many paths, and that most of the characteristics the university could be found in other institutions of higher learning. Citing the practices of four selected Chinese societies, Yang opposes the existence of an impassable chasm between Chinese and Western ideas of a university and argues that it is possible to combine Chinese and Western ideas of a university. Also, this book is one of the first in English to theorize the Chinese idea of a university. It links the historical events to the present, in a context of an enormous impact of Western academic models and institutions, from the beginning of modern universities in Chinese societies to the contemporary period.

Initially based on a comparative study of Chinese and Euro-American art theory in the 18th and 19th centuries, this book examines how both cultures looked at their own past and their outside, i.e. what was construed as not belonging to their own cultural sphere, and how they devised new ways of adapting them into evolving cultural constructs.While the 17th century was still a time when the epistemological backgrounds of both civilizations were so profoundly different that nearly no dialogue was possible, the 18th century saw the emergence in both places of profound changes that would get them close enough to create the conditions for the beginning of a conversation. First quite superficial and taking shape mostly in the decorative arts, this process of rapprochement, while remaining chaotic and unpredictable, led to wider and more profound zones of contact throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. Through the reinterpretations of each other’s cultural creations, these zones of conta

This book contains analysis of different domains of contemporary art in China seen through the lens of the epistemological changes described in China Pluperfect I: Epistemology of Past and Outside in Chinese Art.It first looks at the concept of “ink art,” describing how it meant different things to different people in the former colony and how these different meanings came to determine certain institutional choices made at the beginning of the 21st century. The following chapters are dedicated to issues related to the urban and rural contexts for art creation in Mainland China and Hong Kong. One chapter observes the ups and downs of the representations of cities in the history of the People’s Republic of China and how they have defined a certain idea of culture. Another looks at how Chinese cities have been exceptional centers of art creations over the last thirty to forty years through the example of Shenzhen where a vibrant art scene, albeit closely connected to Hong Kong which has b

In On Saving Face, Michael Keevak traces the Western reception of the Chinese concept of “face” during the past two hundred years, arguing that it has always been linked to nineteenth-century colonialism. “Lose face” and “save face” have become so normalized in modern European languages that most users do not even realize that they are of Chinese origin. “Face” is an extremely complex and varied notion in all East Asian cultures. It involves proper behavior and the avoidance of conflict, encompassing every aspect of one’s place in society as well as one’s relationships with other people. One can “give face,” “get face,” “fight for face,” “tear up face,” and a host of other expressions. But when it began to become known to the Western trading community in China beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century, it was distorted and reduced to two phrases only, “lose face” and “save face,” both of which were used to suggest distinctly Western ideas of humiliation, embarrassment, honor, a

Meet the visionaries, artists, and lovers of the American wilderness who fought against corruption and self-interest to carve out and protect these spaces for future generations. See for yourself how the idea of National Parks began, how they've changed, and how they continue to define America.

在克里斯．安德森（Chris Anderson）所著「自造者時代：啟動人人製造的第三次工業革命」提到，過去幾年，世界來到了一個重要里程碑：實體製造的過程愈來愈像軟體設計，開放原始碼創造了軟體大量散布與廣泛使用，如今，實體物品上也逐漸發生同樣的效應。網路社群中的程式設計師從Linux作業系統出發，架設了今日世界上絕大部分的網站（Apache WebServer），到使用端廣受歡迎的FireFox瀏覽器等，都是開放原始碼軟體的最佳案例。 現在自造者社群（Maker Space）也正藉由開放原始碼硬體，製造出電子產品、科學儀器、建築物，甚至是3C產品。其中如Arduino開發板，銷售量已遠超過當初設計者的預估。連網路巨擘Google Inc.也加入這場開放原始碼運動，推出開放原始碼電子零件，讓大家發明出來的硬體成品，也能與Android軟體連結、開發與應用。 目前全球各地目前有成千上萬個「自造空間」（makerspace）─光是上海就有上百個正在籌備中，多自造空間都是由在地社群所創辦。如聖馬特奧市（SanMateo）的自造者博覽會（Maker Faire），每年吸引數10萬名自造者前來朝聖，彼此觀摩學習。但不光是美國，全球各地還有許多自造者博覽會，台灣一年一度也於當地舉辦Maker Fair Taiwan，數十萬的自造者（Maker）參予了每年一度的盛會。 本系列「Maker系列」由此概念而生。面對越來越多的知識學子，也希望成為自造者（Make），追求創意與最新的技術潮流，筆著因應世界潮流與趨勢，思考著「如何透過逆向工程的技術與手法，將現有產品開發技術轉換為我的知識」的思維，如果我們可以駭入產品結構與設計思維，那麼了解產品的機構運作原理與方法就不是一件難事了。更進一步我們可以將原有產品改造、升級、創新，並可以將學習到的技術運用其他技術或新技術領域，透過這樣學習思維與方法，可以更快速的掌握研發與製造的核心技術，相信這樣的學習方式，會比起在已建構好的開發模組或學習套件中學習某個新技術或原理，來的更踏實的多。 本系列的書籍，因應自造者運動的世界潮流，希望讀者當一位自造者，將現有產品的產品透過逆向工程的手法，進而了解核心控制系統之軟硬體，再透過簡單易學的Arduino單晶片與C語言，重新開發出原有產品，進而改進、加強、創新其原有產品的架構。如此一來，因為學子們進行「重新開

The thrilling conclusion to the epic middle grade fantasy trilogy from Katherine Applegate, the New York Times bestselling and Newbery Award-winning author of The One and Only Ivan (now a major motion picture!), The One and Only Bob, Wishtree, and Crenshaw!In the beginning, Byx's original quest was to discover if there were more of her kind, or if she was destined to become an endling--the last dairne alive. She did indeed find more dairnes, and along the way she also created allies among other creatures in her world, including humans, felivets, raptidons, and wobbyks.But Byx and her new friends soon learned that it wasn't just dairnes in jeopardy of extinction, but that everyone was at risk. With the world in unprecedented danger, Byx must rally creatures of all kinds to lead a revolution.Katherine Applegate's Endling series has so far earned a collective five starred reviews, and each of the prior books has debuted on the New York Times bestseller list. She once again delivers an act
