雨林里的消亡
20世纪九十年代,年轻的人类学家唐·库里克,只身走入巴布亚新几内亚热带雨林中,位于一片沼泽地中央,人口仅两百的小村庄嘉普恩,记录一门濒临消亡的当地语言——泰雅博语。到达后他就深深领悟到,如果不理解说这种话的当地人的日常生活,就不可能真正学会这门语言:你必须要了解他们如何与自己的孩子沟通,如何争吵、八卦和开玩笑。在这段跨越三十年的时光中,他反反复复拜访当地,每次都停留数周到半年多的时间不等,亲眼见证了语言环境日渐稀薄,记录下他所能学习到的一切。与此同时,他也发现自己已经义无反顾地融入了嘉普恩村民的生活与世界,与他们的悲欢和命运产生了交融。
本书英文版出版当年,即入选美国《时代周刊》推荐当季必读书目和《美国国家地理》当季最佳旅行类图书,受到媒体广泛关注和读者好评。

是什么让我们难以领略音乐的艺术?
抛开玄虚概念,直面艺术本身,是全新视角的赏乐理论,也是透彻诚恳的入门之书。
——————————————————————
长久以来,非专业听众在面对古典音乐时,总会习惯性地认为感人和悦耳就是作者们的创作目标,也常以为了解到作品的意象、背景、“思想内涵”,便有了欣赏的钥匙,或者会把古典音乐看作一种超凡脱俗的象征和修养身心的良药,而一旦无法把握这些要素,听者就会感到迷茫,觉得古典音乐很难。
本书从艺术与自然状态的区分出发,逻辑清晰地破除了上述固有观念,帮助赏乐者抓住古典音乐的实质,认识其价值所在,对于入门者是实用而有效的指引,对于深思音乐之美的人亦可提供新的视角和启发。

A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Seventh Edition
Dewey. Bellow. Strauss. Friedman. The University of Chicago has been the home of some of the most important thinkers of the modern age. But perhaps no name has been spoken with more respect than Turabian. The dissertation secretary at Chicago for decades, Kate Turabian literally wrote the book on the successful completion and submission of the student paper. Her Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations , created from her years of experience with research projects across all fields, has sold more than seven million copies since it was first published in 1937. Now, with this seventh edition, Turabian’s Manual has undergone its most extensive revision, ensuring that it will remain the most valuable handbook for writers at every level—from first-year undergraduates, to dissertation writers apprehensively submitting final manuscripts, to senior scholars who may be old hands at research and writing but less familiar with new media citation styles. Gregory G. Colomb, Joseph M. Williams, and the late Wayne C. Booth—the gifted team behind The Craft of Research —and the University of Chicago Press Editorial Staff combined their wide-ranging expertise to remake this classic resource. They preserve Turabian’s clear and practical advice while fully embracing the new modes of research, writing, and source citation brought about by the age of the Internet. Booth, Colomb, and Williams significantly expand the scope of previous editions by creating a guide, generous in length and tone,to the art of research and writing. Growing out of the authors’ best-selling Craft of Research , this new section provides students with an overview of every step of the research and writing process, from formulating the right questions to reading critically to building arguments and revising drafts. This leads naturally to the second part of the Manual for Writers , which offers an authoritative overview of citation practices in scholarly writing, as well as detailed information on the two main citation styles (“notes-bibliography” and “author-date”). This section has been fully revised to reflect the recommendations of the fifteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style and to present an expanded array of source types and updated examples, including guidance on citing electronic sources. The final section of the book treats issues of style—the details that go into making a strong paper. Here writers will find advice on a wide range of topics, including punctuation, table formatting, and use of quotations. The appendix draws together everything writers need to know about formatting research papers, theses, and dissertations and preparing them for submission. This material has been thoroughly vetted by dissertation officials at colleges and universities across the country. This seventh edition of Turabian’s Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations is a classic reference revised for a new age. It is tailored to a new generation of writers using tools its original author could not have imagined—while retaining the clarity and authority that generations of scholars have come to associate with the name Turabian. -
