Destination ... Change

In this interesting study, Jenny Edkins explores how we remember traumatic events such as wars, famines, genocides and terrorism, and questions the assumed role of commemorations as simply reinforcing state and nationhood. Taking examples from the World Wars, Vietnam, the Holocaust, Kosovo and September 11th, Edkins offers a thorough discussion of practices of memory such as memorials, museums, remembrance ceremonies, the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress and the act of bearing witness. She examines the implications of these commemorations in terms of language, political power, sovereignty and nationalism. She argues that some forms of remembering do not ignore the horror of what happened but rather use memory to promote change and to challenge the political systems that produced the violence of wars and genocides in the first place. This wide-ranging study embraces literature, history, politics and international relations, and makes a significant contribution to the study of memory.

This volume brings together original essays by scholars working on a diverse range of empirical issues, but whose work is in each case informed by a 'historical institutional' approach to the study of politics. By bringing these pieces together, the volume highlights the methodological and theoretical foundations of this approach and illustrates the general contributions it has made to comparative politics. The essays demonstrate the potential of the approach to illuminate a broad range of issues such as how and why institutions change, how political ideas are filtered through institutional structures in the formation of specific policies, and how institutional structure can have unintended effects on the shaping of policy. The reader is provided with both a thorough understanding of the method of analysis and an overview of the theoretical underpinnings of the approach.

Wisdom That Transforms Lives Twenty-five centuries ago, a man who had once lived in royal luxury walked barefoot across the dusty plains of India, sharing insights that would forever change human history. The Buddha—“the Awakened One”—dedicated forty-nine years of his life to illuminating the path beyond suffering for all who would listen. This first volume presents 36 stories from the Buddha’s life and the lives of his disciples, each revealing the Buddha’s remarkable ability to meet people where they were and guide them toward realization. Readers will discover the Buddha’s insights on the importance of kindness, right speech, right actions, and community living that remain profoundly relevant to our lives today. Each story concludes with “Words of Wisdom” that connect ancient guidance to contemporary challenges. Throughout the collection, we see how the Buddha’s gentle yet powerful approach led others to profound insights, inspiring many to become his disciples and continue their sp

10年可以改變什麼？或是，沒有改變什麼？2015年12月12日，聯合國195個成員國（包括觀察員）在聯合國氣候峰會中通過延續京都議定書的《巴黎協定》（ParisAgreement），明確設定：「以工業時代前為基準值，在21世紀末時，全球升溫小於2℃，並以1.5℃作為目標。」今年是《巴黎協定》生效第10年，年初便傳來讓人挫折的消息。歐盟的哥白尼氣候變遷服務公布最新數據，2025年1月延續了2023、2024年的升溫趨勢，成為有紀錄以來的最熱的1月，比工業革命前的均溫還要高出1.75℃。更讓科學家們困惑的是，原本預期反聖嬰現象將帶來大片涼爽洋流，氣溫卻不降反升。推測原因，由於化石燃料產生的溫室氣體創新高，使得整體溫度易升難降，加上森林持續被砍伐等因素，加劇氣候變化。面對看似無解的全球氣候危機，國家公園能做什麼？開創國家公園濫觴的美國，於2023年發布了最新版本的《氣候變遷因應策略》（Climate Change Response Strategy），提出四大基石：了解科學、適應不斷變化的條件、減輕原因和溝通問題，作為國家公園內進行永續規劃的依據，而這份策略也展現國家公園除了解決園區內的挑戰，也有機會透過研究和實踐，成為緩解氣候問題的解方之一。今年度的國家公園季刊便以「未來解方」為主題，於四期分別提出臺灣國家公園在減碳護林、永續廊道的跨界合作、以保育行動實踐SDGs、鏈結ESG／USR夥伴關係等4個面向的願景及重要成果，展現國家公園迎向愈加艱難的氣候變遷問題時，作為領頭羊，帶動產、官、學、民一起找到問題解方的決心與行動力。
