本書從元宇宙的起源和現實應用場景出發，基於元宇宙的“BIGCHINA”技術框架，為讀者依次揭開元宇宙背後八大硬科技—區塊鏈(Blockchain)技術、交互(Interactivity)技術、通信技術(Communication Technology，5G、6G)、雲和邊緣計算(Cloud and Edge Computing)技術、高性能計算和量子計算(High-Performance Computing and Quantum Computing)技術、物聯網和機器人(IoT and Robotics)技術、網絡(Network)技術、人工智能(Artificial Intelligence)技術的神秘面紗。本書將上述八大支撐技術與元宇宙中的諸多實際和潛在應用相結合，生動地繪製出一幅元宇宙的“技術圖譜”，為想要瞭解元宇宙及其背後核心技術的讀者提供有趣的科普閱讀體驗。此外，本書在一定程度上突破了從單一技術視域分析元宇宙的局限，對讀者瞭解當前元宇宙技術整體發展現狀和未來趨勢有一定的借鑒意義。
《價值評估的本質與法則：一般價值理論導論》（Valuation: Its Nature and Laws. Being An Introduction to the General Theory of Value）是威爾伯·馬歇爾·烏爾班（Wilbur Marshall Urban）於1909年出版的一部經典哲學著作。該書系統地探討了價值的本質、法則以及價值理論的一般框架，試圖從哲學的角度構建一個全面的價值理論體系。本書為該書的第一個中文譯本。該書是英語世界中首次系統探討價值理論的專著，為價值研究奠定了基礎。書稿對價值評價學科的貢獻是多方面的。作者不僅提出了價值評價的哲學框架，還強調了價值評價的主觀性與客觀性，推動了跨學科研究，並為價值評價學科的形成奠定了基礎。
面對雜亂、浩繁的語言材料，如何從對話語的分析中提出、建構解釋的模型和理論，這是令許多研究者感到困難重重的黑箱，而本書提供了28個具體的分析工具，幫助讀者打開黑箱，順利開展自己的研究。這本廣受讀者歡迎的書是《話語分析導論：理論與方法》（An Introduction to Discourse Analysis: Theory and Method）的姊妹卷。作者在書中通過實踐操作，為讀者提供了任務型話語分析的必要工具。每個工具都有清楚的解釋及應用指導，並提供真實語料供讀者練習。不同領域的讀者都可以從本書中獲得基本的話語分析理論與實踐基礎，以及獨到的話語分析方法論知識。
1965年7月，垮掉派的理念浪潮已經席捲美國；披頭士還頂著蘑菇頭，保羅·麥卡特尼在夢裡獲得的那首傳世之作剛剛準備發行；理查德·布勞提根已經完成的小說《在美國釣鱒魚》還沒出版。就在這個月，傑克·斯派賽倒在公寓大樓的電梯裡，被送到醫院。幾天後，有友人趕到醫院時，發現他的朋友羅賓·布拉澤正在與醫生爭吵。醫生叫道：“你在擔心什麼！，反正這個渾蛋很快就要死了。”布拉澤抓住醫生的襯衫，大聲說：“你說的是一位大詩人！”彌留之際，斯派賽拼命掙扎，對著布拉澤說出自己的“遺言”：“My Vocabulary did this to me.”(我的語言使我如此)本書為傑克·斯派賽作品精選集，包括《“詩如魔法”工作坊》《仿洛爾迦》《比利小子》《高達上蒼的鎮長們》《阿爾蒂爾·蘭波的虛構傳記》等斯派賽經典作品。斯派賽是艾倫·金斯堡、羅伯特·鄧肯、肯尼斯·雷克斯羅斯、理查德·布勞提根等一眾名人背後的詩人，開創了獨到的詩歌語言，追求詩歌的魔法效應，以信件、小說、注釋，任何你能想得到的形式寫詩。被認為是美國後現代詩人中最有趣、最苛刻和最有價值的詩人之一。是時候請一個已然逝去六十年的老詩人，帶給詩歌一些新東西了。
英國在1620—1720年金融革命期間發展起來的現代信用體系，為英國在18世紀政治、軍事和經濟上的統治地位奠定了基礎，並促成了第一次工業革命。然而，這種新的信用體系伴也帶來了嚴重的災難。它不僅不穩定，容易發生意外事故，而且依賴於信任、公眾輿論，最終不得不採取暴力來維護。 本書作者重建了孕育金融革命的思想背景，追溯了關於信用的理論闡述是如何演變的，並對光榮革命、科學革命、英格蘭銀行的成立等問題做出了回應，引導我們了解同時代的英國人如何看待信用的不穩定性，以及暴力——戰爭、奴役和死刑——在維護信用方面的作用。 作者：卡爾·文納林德（Carl Wennerlind），哥倫比亞大學歷史學教授，研究領域集中在思想史與政治經濟學，對貨幣與信用觀念的發展歷史尤其有興趣，另著有《一位哲學家兼經濟學家：休謨和資本主義的崛起》（A Philosopher鈥檚 Economist: Hume and the Rise of Capitalism）、《稀缺：從資本主義起源到氣候危機的歷史》（Scarcity: A History from the Origins of Capitalism to the Climate Crisis）等書。 譯者：周宇，北京大學歷史系畢業，曾留學英國倫敦大學學院，曾任中央電視台英語頻道和《環球時報》記者。
誠實之所以具有普世價值，正是在於謊言是普世現象。謊言無處不在，成為生活中的潛在主線。人們每天都在說謊，從政壇精英到市井小民，從商業巨賈到諜海特工，謊言無處不在。你想知道人們如何說謊、為何說謊，說謊時有何表現嗎？你想知道如何識破謊言嗎？那麼請翻開這本書，跟隨保羅‧埃克曼從觀察人們的一舉一動、一顰一笑開始。熱播美劇《別對我說謊》(Lie to Me，又譯《千謊百計》)聘請埃克曼教授擔任顧問，一經在黃金時段播出，即大受追捧，共3季48集。劇情大多根據真實案例改編，以說謊理論為核心，主角的經歷也與埃克曼教授頗為相似。編劇塞繆爾‧比姆花了將近一年的時間和埃克曼教授待在一起，並將他的研究成果融入這部劇中。
