過去的宋史研究，重北宋而輕南宋，學者常以北宋的種種情狀涵蓋南宋。例如，認為強幹弱枝、重文輕武等都是貫穿南北二宋的國策，以致宋代軍事史之研究，幾乎全以中央直接掌握的禁軍為焦點，對整個宋朝的軍事結構，乃至國家的性質，造成甚多誤解。 書中所探討的地方武力，包括由南宋各級政府所組織的地方軍，以及各種形式的民間自衛武力。他們在抗禦外侮及維持境內治安皆具有舉足輕重的份量；與正規軍一樣，也成為支撐南宋政局的一個

We have polluted our planet Earth with light. Light pollution – excessive and obtrusive artificial light, with bright neon and LED lights in our cities and in our personal space, continuously illuminated and artificial – has removed something incredibly valuable from our lives, and at the same time affected our ability to sleep, rest, and relax. 'Falling in Love with Darkness' is Osho’s attempt to bring us again in contact with darkness, but here in a spiritual and psychological context. "Why do we desire light?," he asks. "Why do we hanker so much for light? Perhaps we never realize that the desire for light is a symbol of the fear rooted within us; it is a symbol of fear. We want light so that we can become free of that fear." The mind is afraid in the dark. The fear of darkness is based on the fear of being alone: the fear of being alone comes together with the fear of darkness. Darkness has its own bliss; without falling in love with darkness, you will be deprived of the capacity t
