简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 In an era of limited research resources and limitless research needs, demonstrating the worth of any research discipline to policymakers and administrators is a prerequisite for obtaining future funding and making an impact in policy matters. Economists have worked diligently in developing both quantitative and qualitative indicators of the value of science and technology R & D. At the same time, they have paid little or no attention to valuing their own work. In What's Economics Worth? Valuing Policy Research, several expert economists take an important first step towards redressing this imbalance. Anyone who wants to understand what economists do and how to think about valuing their work will find this book intriguing and worthwhile.Contributors: Jeffrey Alwang, Connie Chan-Kang, John Freebairn, Bruce Gardner, Arnold Harberger, Amir Heiman, Anne Krueger, Paul Krugman, Bob Lindner, George Norton, Philip G. Pardey, James Ryan, Vincent H. Smith, C. Peter Timmer, and David Zilberman

Entanglement:the greatest maystery in physics

简介：　　“斯科特。开始传送！”《星际旅行》里的场景会不会成为现实?量子力学告诉我们：也许……就在不远的将来。 　　自从网络空间(cyberspace)——由科幻小说家杜撰的名词——变成了现实，“科学”与“科幻：’之间的界线愈加模糊。今天，年轻的量子力学向我们承诺：人类某些最不着边际的梦想可能会真的实现。“纠缠态”正是奇异的量子力学世界里最不可思议的一道风景。 　　爱因斯坦认为，量子力学规定了纠缠态的存在，也就是说亚原子微粒间有可能产生某种联系，其中一个微粒无论发生什么变化，与之相联的微粒便会即刻发生相应的变化，哪怕它们之间相隔整整一个宇宙。他觉得，假如量子力学能够推出如此难以置信的奇怪的结果，那么量子论一定不能成立。可是，在美国和欧洲实施的新的科学实验却证明了纠缠现象不但真的会发生，而且还可以用来建立牢不可破的密码，甚至实现隐形传态…… 　　来吧，进入属于微粒的奇异的量子力学世界。在这里，粒子即波。波即粒子。这是一个奇幻的领域，不确定性无处不在。但若我们细细思量它的神秘面目，也许，就在我们有生之年，会发现不可解密码乃至隐形传态的秘密……

简介：　　In Chance, celebrated mathematician Amir D. Aczel turns his sights on probability theory—the branch of mathematics that measures the likelihood of a random event. He explains probability in clear, layman's terms, and shows its practical applications. What is commonly called luck has mathematical roots and in Chance, you'll learn to increase your odds of success in everything from true love to the stock market. For thousands of years, the twin forces of chance and mischance have beguiled humanity like none other. Why does fortune smile on some people, and smirk on others? What is luck, and why does it so often visit the undeserving? How can we predict the random events happening around us? Even better, how can we manipulate them? In this delightful and lucid voyage through the realm of the random, Dr. Aczel once again makes higher mathematics intelligible to us.

Descartes'S Secret Notebook

作者：  Amir D. Aczel　著

出版社：Random House US 2006-10-1

简介：Starred Review。 What Aczel did for mathematician Fermat（Fermat’s Last Theorem）he now does for Descartes in this splendidstudy about the French philosopher and mathematician （1596–1650）most famous for his paradigm-smashing declaration， “I think;therefore， I am。” Part historical sketch， part biography and partdetective story， Aczel’s chronicle of Descartes’s hidden workhinges on his lost secret notebook。 Of 16 pages of codedmanuscript， one and a half were copied in 1676 by fellowphilosopher and mathematician Leibniz。 For him， Descartes’sinscription of the cryptic letters“GFRC” immediately revealed hisassociation with the occult fraternity of the Rosicrucians—Leibnizwas also a member。 The notebook also revealed to Leibniz adiscovery made by Descartes that would have transformedmathematics。 As Aczel so deftly demonstrates， Descartes'smathematical theories were paths to an understanding the order andmystery of the cosmos， and he kept the notebook hidden because itcontained a formula that—because it supported Copernicus’s model ofthe solar system—Descartes feared would lead to his persecution bythe Inquisition。 Aczel lucidly explains the science， mystery andmathematics of Descartes， who has never been so lively as he is inthe pages of this first-rate biography and social history。作者简介：　　Amir D.Aczel，Ph.D，is a mathematician and the author of twelvebooks，including the international bestseller Fermat’s LastTheorem，which was nominated for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize andhas been translated into nineteen languages。Aczel has appeared onover thirty television prgrams，including the CBS Evening News andABC’s Nightline，on CNN and CNBC，and on over a hundred radioprograms，including NPR’s Weekend Edition and Talk of theNation：Science Friday。In 2004 Aczel was awarded a GuggenheimFellowship。He is a visiting scholar in the history of science atHarvard。

简介：　　This political and diplomatic history of late nineteenth-century Afghanistan and its major ethnic groups lays bare how the ground was laid for the emergence of Afghanistan as a nation-state as well as for the implementation of schemes of modernization. 　　It describes how Amir Sher ‘Ali Khan and, more fully, Amir ‘Abd al-Rahman Khan for the first time consolidated the authority of the central government at the expense of the traditional autonomous local magnates, and thus managed to organize a centralized monarchical state and extend its direct rule thoughout Afghanistan. 　　They did so in the days of what has become known as The Great Game for the mastery of Central Asian states. Although The Great Game resulted in the reduction of Afghanistan in size, it also led to the clear demarcation of its boundaries in accordance with international agreements.

简介：笛卡兒（1596-1650）是西方哲學與數學的主要代表人物之一。他的名言：「我思故我在」（Cogito, ergo sum）標示了心物問題（mind-body problem）的誕生。但是笛卡兒也有謎樣且神祕的一面。傳說中他是薔薇十字會成員之一，並保有一本如今已佚失的祕密手記，其中大部分是用密碼寫成。在笛卡兒死後，數學家萊布尼茲（Gottfried Leibniz，微積分發明者）為尋找這本祕密手記而移居巴黎，最後發現它由笛卡兒的友人克勞德．克雷色列爾（ Claude Clerselier）保有。萊布尼茲登門拜訪，而克雷色列爾則同意萊布尼茲抄錄他當場成功破解的那幾頁內容。萊布尼茲匆匆寫下的這些筆記，正是今日我們擁有的笛卡兒祕密手記的所有。為什麼笛卡兒要這樣保藏這本祕密手記？而它的內容又是什麼？這些問題的答案將帶領讀者進入一趟高潮不斷的刺激旅程，並將這位西方文化重要大師令人著迷的一面介紹給讀者。

简介：Since September 11, 2001, Afghanistan has dominated the news, as it did for a decade during the Soviet occupation (1979-1989), and long before, when, in the nineteenth and earth twentieth century, its mountain ranges formed the backdrop of the Great Game. In the Western imagination it is one of the most romantic, as well as harsh, beautiful and dangerous places on earth. Squeezed as it is between four empires - Russia, China, India and Persia - its tortured history provides an extraordinary glimpse into the patterns of world movements. Today Afghanistan sits at the pivotal point of a region where a new Great Game is taking shape for the War on Terror and control of the oil-rich steppes of Central Asia. Angelo Rasanayagam's magisterial work - the fruit of personal experience as well as years of scholarship - is the first major history of modern Afghanistan. It traces the country's development from the accession of Abdul Rahman Khan, the 'Iron Amir' in 1880, right up to the demise of the Taliban under US bombing over the winter of 2001, and the search for a new state structure in 2002. Of vital importance for understanding the country's current crisis, it will be essential reading for historians, policy makers, journalists, students, and all those interested in the state of the world today. - Dust jacket.

简介：　　《The Kite Runner(追风筝的人)》是一个阿富汗作家的处女作，霸占了美国两大权威畅销书排行榜《纽约时报》排行榜、《出版商周刊》排行榜长达80余周，声势超过红透全世界的丹·布朗的《达·芬奇密码》。 这本小说太令人震撼，很长一段时日，让我所读的一切都相形失色。文学与生活中的所有重要主题，都交织在这部惊世之作里：爱、恐惧、愧疚、赎罪……——著名作家伊莎贝拉·阿连德 　　 　　 ★一个阿富汗作家的处女作 　　 ★一部以史诗般的历史景观和荡气回肠的人性故事，深深地打动全世界各地亿万读者心的文学经典 　　 ★美国《纽约时报》、《出版商周刊》等九大畅销书排行榜榜首图书 　　 ★英国《观察家报》2005年度最佳图书 　　 ★台湾诚品书店、金石堂书店、博客来书店销售冠军 　　 ★连续80余周雄踞《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜，声势超过红透全球的丹·布朗的《达·芬奇密码》 　　 “许多年过去了，人们说陈年旧事可以被埋葬，然而我终于明白这是错的，因为往事会自行爬上来。回首前尘，我意识到在过去二十六年里，自己始终在窥视着那荒芜的小径。” 　　 　　 《华盛顿邮报》认为：“没有虚矫赘文，没有无病呻吟，只有精炼的篇章，细腻勾勒家庭与友谊，背叛与救赎。作者对祖国的爱显然与对造成它今日沧桑的恨一样深。故事娓娓道来，轻笔淡描，近似川端康成的《千羽鹤》。” 　　 　　 12岁的阿富汗富家少爷阿米尔与仆人哈桑情同手足。然而，在一场风筝比赛后，发生了一件悲惨不堪的事，阿米尔为自己的懦弱感到自责和痛苦，逼走了哈桑，不久，自己也跟随父亲逃往美国。 　　 成年后的阿米尔始终无法原谅自己当年对哈桑的背叛。为了赎罪，阿米尔再度踏上暌违二十多年的故乡，希望能为不幸的好友尽最后一点心力，却发现一个惊天谎言，儿时的噩梦再度重演，阿米尔该如何抉择？ 　　 小说如此残忍而又美丽，作者以温暖细腻的笔法勾勒人性的本质与救赎，读来令人荡气回肠。 　　 　　“I sat on a bench near a willow tree and watched a pair of kites soaring in the sky. I thought about something Rahim Khan said just before he hung up, almost as an afterthought, ‘There is a way to be good again.’” 　　 　　 Now in paperback, one of the year’s international literary sensations -- a shattering story of betrayal and redemption set in war-torn Afghanistan. 　　 　　 Amir and Hassan are childhood friends in the alleys and orchards of Kabul in the sunny days before the invasion of the Soviet army and Afghanistan’s decent into fanaticism. Both motherless, they grow up as close as brothers, but their fates, they know, are to be different. Amir’s father is a wealthy merchant; Hassan’s father is his manservant. Amir belongs to the ruling caste of Pashtuns, Hassan to the despised Hazaras. 　　 　　 This fragile idyll is broken by the mounting ethnic, religious, and political tensions that begin to tear Afghanistan apart. An unspeakable assault on Hassan by a gang of local boys tears the friends apart; Amir has witnessed his friend’s torment, but is too afraid to intercede. Plunged into self-loathing, Amir conspires to have Hassan and his father turned out of the household. 　　 　　 When the Soviets invade Afghanistan, Amir and his father flee to San Francisco, leaving Hassan and his father to a pitiless fate. Only years later will Amir have an opportunity to redeem himself by returning to Afghanistan to begin to repay the debt long owed to the man who should have been his brother. 　　 　　 Compelling, heartrending, and etched with details of a history never before told in fiction, The Kite Runner is a story of the ways in which we’re damned by our moral failures, and of the extravagant cost of redemption. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
