本書原題A Chinese Text in Central Asian Brahmi Script，副標題New Evidence for the Pronunciation of Late Middle Chinese and Khotanese，是由兩位著名學者──中古伊朗語專家恩莫瑞克和漢學家蒲立本發揮各自學術專長，共同撰寫的一部學術專著。本書的研究對象是兩片敦煌遺書殘卷（Ch.00120和P.5597，此二殘卷可以綴合）上的中亞婆羅米文字，其內容是以晚期于闐語音寫的鳩摩羅什譯漢文《金剛經》。兩位作者通過對婆羅米文與相應漢文的考察，歸納了不少晚期中古漢語和于闐語中的語音現象，提出了許多富有參考價值的推論。總而言之，本書是研究漢語音韻學和晚期于闐語的重要參考資料。（印度學與印度研究．譯叢Ⅲ）

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit, an investigation of what makes conversations work, and how we can all learn to be supercommunicators at work and in our livesThe right conversation, at the right moment, can change everything.We all know people who seem capable of connecting with anyone. They are the ones we turn to for advice, who ask the best questions—but who are also able to hear what goes unsaid, what we are really trying to say.Why are these people so good at connecting? And what can they tell us about how communication works?Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg argues, understand—some by intuition, some by hard-won experience—that there is a science to how human beings connect. They understand that every time we speak to someone, we’re actually engaging in one of three conversations: What is this really about? How do we feel? And, Who are we? They know the importance of identifying what kind of conversation we’re having, and then matching it, so tha

'An acerbic, compelling and always accessible account of how opium corrupted the world' TLS'The writing is sublime, the research thorough, the eye for story superb' Sunday TelegraphWhen Amitav Ghosh began the research for his monumental cycle of novels the Ibis Trilogy, he was startled to find how the lives of the 19th century sailors and soldiers he wrote of were dictated not only by the currents of the Indian Ocean, but also by the precious commodity carried in enormous quantities on those currents: opium. Most surprising of all, however, was the discovery that his own identity and family history was swept up in the story.Smoke and Ashes is at once a travelogue, memoir and a history, drawing on decades of archival research. In it, Ghosh traces the transformative effect the opium trade had on Britain, India, and China, as well as the world at large.The trade was engineered by the British Empire, which exported Indian opium to sell to China and redress their great trade imbalance, and
