Based on groundbreaking original research, The Why Axis is a colorful examination of why people do what they do—observed through the lens of incentives that can spur people to achieve. Uri Gneezy and John List are like the anthropologists who spend months in the field studying the people in their native habitats. But in their case they embed themselves in our messy world to try and solve big, difficult problems, such as the gap between rich and poor students and the violence plaguing inner city schools; the real reasons people discriminate; whether women are really less competitive than men; and how to correctly price products and services. Their field experiments in the factories, communities, and shops where real people live, work, and play show how economic incentives can change outcomes. Their results will change the way we both think about and take action on big and little problems, and force us to rely no longer on assumptions, but upon the evidence of what really works.

近几年，许多人类学家开始强调写作的重要性。而众所周知，民族志写作的起点和基础是研究者的田野笔记。那么，如何做田野笔记呢？ 为此，三位具有丰富田野实践和教学经验的人类学家，给出了一系列实用而又指导性的建议。本书通过大量的正在撰写的、“未完成的”田野笔记实例，考察了田野研究者如何将亲身经历和观察写成田野笔记的过程，讨论如何运用田野笔记来讲述民族志故事的方法，以及帮助研究者基于田野笔记撰写民族志的关键步骤。 本书致力于提出一套实用的田野笔记写作指导，以帮助社会学、人类学、民俗学、口述历史学、教育学等学科的本科生和研究生，因为田野研究和人类学方法在以上学科中都占有十分突出的地位；另一方面，对于政治学、商业管理、传播、社会福利及公共卫生等学科，田野研究和民族志也可以作为次一级的辅助研究方法。 《如何做田野笔记》系美国当代知名人类学家罗伯特·埃默森等撰写的一部有关人类学研究专著。田野调查是当代文化人类学研究的重要环节，而其中的关键之处，就是如何作田野笔记。此书结集的数位人类学家的经验谈，对此项工作作了详尽、清晰的阐述，也是该学科基础方法的指导之作。

You don’t need to be a genius, you just need to be yourself. That’s the message from Austin Kleon, a young writer and artist who knows that creativity is everywhere, creativity is for everyone. A manifesto for the digital age, Steal Like an Artist is a guide whose positive message, graphic look and illustrations, exercises, and examples will put readers directly in touch with their artistic side. When Mr. Kleon was asked to address college students in upstate New York, he shaped his speech around the ten things he wished someone had told him when he was starting out. The talk went viral, and its author dug deeper into his own ideas to create Steal Like an Artist, the book. The result is inspiring, hip, original, practical, and entertaining. And filled with new truths about creativity: Nothing is original, so embrace influence, col- lect ideas, and remix and re-imagine to discover your own path. Follow your interests wherever they take you. Stay smart, stay out of debt, and risk being boring—the creative you will need to make room to be wild and daring in your imagination.
