Gans, Germs, and Steel:The Fates of Human Societies

作者：  (美)贾雷德·戴蒙德(Jared Diamond)著;谢延光译

出版社：上海译文出版社,2000

简介：　　远古时候，各大陆上的人类社会的发展开始分道杨镳。中国、中美洲、美国东南部和其他地区对野生动植物的早期驯化，使这些地区的各个族群获得了一种领先优势。为什么小麦和玉米、牛和猪以及现代世界的其他一些“了不起的”作物和牲畜出现在这些特定地区，而不是出现在其他地区？人们对这个问题的理解至今仍停留在依稀隐约之间。 　　农业与放牧出现在局部地区，这只是对不同族群的不同命运的部分解释。粮食生产从这些最早的中心向外传播的速度是不同的，这与气候和地理方面的其他特点――如各大陆不同的面积、位置、甚至形状 ――有很大关系。发展水平超过狩猎采集阶段的社会，理有可能发展出文字、技术、政府、有组织的宗教――同时也更有可能发展出凶恶的病菌和战争中的强大武器。 　　正是这样的一些社会在海洋和陆地上进行冒险，以牺牲其他民族为代价，向新的家园扩张。人们最熟悉的例子就是欧洲人在过去500年中对非欧洲民族的征服。开始时，这些欧洲人只是想通过航海去寻找贵金属和香料，结果却常常导致对土著人土地的入侵，并通过屠杀和带来的疾病大批消灭了土著居民。读者不太熟悉的类似的人口更替，在更早的时候便已在东南亚、非洲撒哈拉沙漠以南地区以及世界上的其他一些地主展开了。 　　《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》一书是理解人类社会的一个重大进展，它记录了现代世界及其诸多不平等所以形成的原因。这是一部富于惊人新发现的著作，即使是在向传统的观点提出挑战时，也会强烈地吸引着读者。

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Introducing a basis for design that transcends fixed notions of style and emerging technologies, this book emphasizes feeling, moving and the experiential. Since the book's initial publication in 2000, architects and writers have been drawn to a more sensory approach to architecture. But there is still a need to encourage and to illustrate the pursuit of design, not as a project, imposing preconceived ideas upon a situation, but as a process evolving from the inside - from movement, sensation, surroundings and a dialogue between architect and client. The authors describe such an approach that places human life, experience and materiality at the centre of design and that seeks out opportunities for discovery, growth and transformation. Karen A. Franck is an environmental psychologist who has taught for many years in the New Jersey School of Architecture. R. Bianca Lepori is a practicing architect in Italy with many years of experience in designing houses and maternity health care facilities. Praise for the first edition: Franck and Lepori believe [architecture] should be more alive and take its character from the human body. When similarly designed from the inside out, rather than being austere and devoid of sensibilities, buildings would offer spatial sensations that connect with people. Beverly Russell, Executive Director, Archeworks The authors use...contemporary lenses as phenomenology and feminism to guide us on our journey through buildings. They trace the haptic qualities of architecture back through the design process with both daring and documentation. Deborah Gans, Architect and Associate Professor, Pratt Institute This book should be required reading for all architectural and design students as well as for all those individuals who are responsible for making decisions that influence our built environment. Wayne Ruga, Founder, Symposium on Healthcare Design and the Center for Health Design.

How Do Birds Find Their Way? 自然科学启蒙2：鸟儿会迷路么？ISBN9780064451505

作者：  Gans

出版社：HarperCollins 2013年07月

简介：
　　Many birds travel thousands of miles each year, migrating between summer and winter homes. Just how they find their way back and forth, sometimes returning to the exact same nesting grounds each year, has puzzled ornithologists for years. Roma Gans details the many theories scientists have proposed to explain the mysteries of migration.

【媒体评论】

　　Gans limits her discussion to basic facts about birds andtheir instinctive travel habits. She tells what ornithologists knowabout migration patterns and presents some of their theories abouthow birds know when to fly and their different means of navigation.Watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations show several speciesand their habitats, as well as a few maps and charts. The carefulcoloring and identification of specific birds add to the value ofthis attractive introductory text, but its lack of an index limitsits use for reports.
　　Ages 4-8. Pictures and text work together beautifully tointroduce facts about bird migration in this new addition to theLet's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Richly coloreddouble-spread artwork shows birds and children in a common habitatbefore focusing on birds themselves, in nests and on the wing. Thecrisply delivered accompanying text, larded with specific examples,delves into some of the tantalizing mysteries that surround birds'twice-yearly pilgrimage. Several maps are used to give children asense of distances traveled, and because so many differentvarieties of birds are shown, always clearly labeled, children canuse the book as a sort of informal spotter's guide.

简介：Written by one America's most eminent sociologists, this book examines the lives and ideals of today's "middle Americans"--whom the more affluent and elite have long put down as an uncultured and unthinking mass--and finds in them the individualistic creed upon which democracy thrives. Neither narcissistic, like that of the "Me Generation" yuppie, nor materialistic, like that of the capitalist, their individualism is the simple desire for personal control over one's social and, especially, economic environment. It is an individualism based on self-reliance, much like that which Alexis de Tocqueville identified as the fundamental American trait over 150 years ago. Far from being right-wing racists, greedy materialists, or uncultured "Joe Sixpacks," Herbert J. Gans describes this diverse group of Americans as the blue, pink, white, and new-collar workers who come in all colors and live modestly in suburbs, small towns, or big city ethnic neighborhoods. Numerically and culturally they make up the majority of Americans, and it is their particular vision of the American Dream to which every presidential candidate appeals. Yet, while they have often been viewed as a mass susceptible to political manipulation, the traditional distrust middle Americans feel toward big government, big business, and other bureaucratic organizations has led them to avoid politics as much as possible. As a result American society, argues Gans, is turning into an "upscale democracy," with voting and other forms of political participation becoming increasingly the province of the rich and well-organized. Current economic and political trends toward greater centralization are enlarging the gulf between middle Americans and those institutions upon which they must depend for their well-being; in Middle American IndividualismGans shows that this growing alienation is the greatest threat to democracy today. How can America reclaim this disaffected and ever more silent majority? Rejecting the usual appeals for less political apathy and more community action, Gans advocates a series of proposals that would bring political institutions to the people rather than forcing them to seek political, economic, and social guidance within the unfamiliar and intimidating surroundings they are forced to deal with now. Calling for a new understanding between liberals and middle Americans, Gans seeks nothing less than a transformation of our present system into a truly representative democracy. MiddleAmerican Individualismis the first step in that direction.

简介："How does cultural hierarchy relate to social hierarchy? Do themore advantaged consume 'high' culture, while the less advantaged consume popular culture? Or has cultural consumption in contemporary societies become individualised to such a degree that there is no longer any social basis for cultural consumption? Leading scholars from the UK, the USA, Chile, France, Hungary and the Netherlands systematically examine the social stratification of arts and culture. They evaluate the 'class-culture homology argument' of Pierre Bourdieu and Herbert Gans; the 'individualisation arguments' of Anthony Giddens, Ulrich Beck and Zymunt Bauman; and the 'omnivore-univore argument' of Richard Peterson. They also demonstrate that, consistent with Max Weber's class-status distinction, cultural consumption, as a key element of lifestyle, is stratified primarily on the basis of social status rather than by social class"--Provided by publisher.

简介：The theme of this collection of essays is that the city's basic problems are poverty and racism, and that until these issues are addressed through job creation and racial equality, the low quality of urban life will persist. Gans argues for a modernized New Deal, a more labor intensive society, and a 32 hour work week. Most of the essays are revised and/or updated from previous publication.

简介：The legitimacy of the Zionist project--establishing a Jewish homeland in Palestine--has been questioned since its inception. In recent years, the voices challenging the legitimacy of the State of Israel have become even louder. Chaim Gans examines these doubts and presents an in-depth, evenhanded philosophical analysis of the justice of Zionism. Today, alongside a violent Middle East where many refuse to accept Israel's existence, there are two academically respectable arguments for the injustice of Zionism. One claim is that the very return of the Jews to Palestine was unjust. The second argument is that Zionism is an exclusivist ethnocultural nationalism out of step with current visions of multicultural nationhood. While many therefore claim that Zionism is in principle an unjust political philosophy, Gans seeks out a more nuanced ground to explain why Zionism, despite its manifest flaws, could in principle be just. Its flaws stem from the current situation, where exigencies have distorted its implementation, and from historical forces that have ended up favoring an extreme form of Jewish hegemony. For Gans, the justice of Zionism and of Israel are not black-and-white propositions. Rather, they are projects in need of repair, which can be achieved by reconceptualizing the Jews' relationship with the Palestinian population and by adhering to a significantly more limited version of Jewish hegemony. Ultimately,A Just Zionismoffers a concrete, historically and geographically rooted investigation of the limits of contemporary nationalism in one of the world's most fraught cases.
