A boy goes to bed and dreams that he and his stuffed dog, now a railroad engineer, are speeding through the countryside playing games and picking up endangered animals. An IRA Children’s ChoiceA Parents’ Choice Award winner for illustrationA California Children’s Book Award winnerPraise"Only Burningham could make an ecological fable so much fun. A boy goes to bed and dreams that he and his stuffed dog, now a railroad engineer, are speeding through the countryside playing games and picking up endangered animals. Spacious drawings contrasted with textured landscape paintings create a striking effect as the artist juggles antic humor with a serious message–and never misses a beat."–Bulletin, Center for Children’s Books.

The basic thesis of the work is that environmental problems are only to be solved by people - people who will be required to make value judgements in conflicts that go beyond narrowly conceived human concerns. Thus people require not only an ethical system, but a way of conceiving the world and themselves such that the intrinsic value of life and nature is obvious, a system based on 'deep ecological principles'. The book encourages readers to identify their own series of such parameters - their own ecosophies. Ecology, Comunity and Lifestyle will appeal to philosophers, specialists working on environmental issues, and the more general reader who is interested in learning some of the foundational ideas of the rapidly expanding field of environmental philosophy.

巴斯卡揭示出社會科學是非中立的，（這也是他所認為的解釋學傳統與實證主義皆存在的問題），它不僅在實踐上有其應用，並且在邏輯上也囊括了價值和實踐判斷。基於科學實在主義之上的社會科學具有內在批判性與自我批判性，巴斯卡認為，正是這種雙重層面上的非中立性使得“事實與價值、理論與實踐、解釋與解放、科學與批判之間的二分法土崩瓦解，因為這使得解釋性的理論具有了解放的動力（emancipatory dynamics/impetus）”。經由科學實在主義的視角，巴斯卡意在重新恢復社會科學與哲學應有的地位，將它的開放性、批判性、解放性重新顯現出來，而這本身也是他所認為的社會科學的根本任務。

Syaman Rapongan—one of the Indigenous Tao people of Orchid Island near Taiwan—calls himself an “ocean writer.” His works blend Tao folklore and accounts of maritime life with keen critique of the social, psychological, and ecological harms of colonialism. Eyes of the Ocean is his literary autobiography, both a powerful story of survival in a settler state and a masterful portrait of the Indigenous artist as a young man.In colloquial and vivid prose, Syaman Rapongan depicts Tao beliefs in ghosts, practices of exorcism, and the parallel worlds that exist alongside the human realm. He recounts his difficulties speaking Mandarin in school, his experiences of racial discrimination and exploitation in Taipei, and his decision to return to Orchid Island to rediscover his cultural heritage, as well as his travels to visit other Indigenous artists in places such as Greenland. Eyes of the Ocean also tells the story of Syaman Rapongan’s formation as a writer, a practitioner of a genre of his own

This volume, the first visually based book dedicated to finance, uses graphics and maps to bring the complex and abstract world of finance down to earth, showing how geography is fundamental for understanding finance, and vice versa. It illuminates the people—inc

A historian whose arguments operate on the scale of millennia has managed to capture the zeitgeist perfectly.”—The Economist“This deeply important book comes at a critical time as we all think through the implications of AI and automated content production. . . .

And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us.
