塞班岛!

初来乍到,观海天一色就像美国人的一天离不开飞驰的车轮,塞班的一天离不开蔚蓝的大海.我们开着吉普车行驶在塞班的公路上,道路两旁满是油绿的凤凰树、椰子树.据说在二战期间,塞班岛被日军轰炸得寸草不生,日本战败后,美军用飞机播撒种子,经过约60年的时间,岛上才又生机盎然起来.随着坡度越来越接近海平面,眼前突然出现一片蔚蓝,深蓝色的海配以淡蓝色的天,海天相接,点缀着形状各异的白云.我坐在副驾驶上,开一罐冰芒果汁,看着窗外的景色,享受这在路上的生活.

Let's Not!

Armand finds that Anuchin painted an overly dark picture of the future of geography in the Soviet Union. The issue of a unified geography versus two or more geographies is regarded by Armand as a fruitless terminological argument. He holds that geographers can make their research count increasingly in national planning by making more use of mathematical apparatus, familiarizing themselves with related technical disciplines, and by being bolder in making practical recommendations to policy makers.     

ICAHM redivivus!

Abstract

The measures employed in a current Siberian rock art conservation project are briefly described; and preliminary results are examined. The future development of the project is considered, and specific noninterventionist methods are suggested in an effort to contain contamination of the rock art, and so to avoid the destruction of its remaining research potential. The main site among the series of sites being discussed has suffered extensive damage from rock art recorders, as well as intentional vandalism by residents of the district's villages. In view of the steepness of most of the sites, access modifications are considered to be the most effective measures of alleviating anthropic damage. A number of less serious threats can be mitigated by fairly simple measures of altering the conditions threatening the rock art. Such measures of minimal intervention are listed. Although the paper deals with a particular region, climate, demography and geology, the underlying management philosophy may be much more widely applicable.

Finance is History!

A new sensitivity to the significance of historical experience has developed since the 2007 financial crisis. There are three possible ways of drawing on the past: as a source of advice on policies, of patterns of past evolution, of multiple possibilities. The best way of thinking about history is as a way of testing conventional hypotheses – particularly when those hypotheses are being used to create market opportunities (by making for false confidence; but also by engendering exaggerated despair).

Auf gute Nachbarschaft!

Companies' community involvement turns out to be spatially relevant and–in many cases–to be focused on the near surroundings of the place of business. Some companies strategically align their involvement in order to systematically address local challenges. The essay at hand addresses the subject of corporate social responsibility from a local development perspective. Using the example of two family-owned enterprises based in Duisburg, Haniel and Grillo, it illustrates how socially committed companies can get involved with their local community by acting as good neighbours. Furthermore, it argues that socially committed companies can function as producers of space concerning matters of urban and local development. The specific local settings as well as the economic conditions of the local community serve as an explanatory background of the companies' involvement. The cases presented in this paper prove the firms' specific knowledge of local development needs and possibilities. This makes them qualified partners for local government actors and civil society actors. Thus, in the future, it is worth addressing corporate local responsibility from a governance point of view both in theory and in practice.     

行宫很Hip!

不知情的人,永远不会觉得Hip这个词可以和伦敦搭上关系。对于刻板、循规蹈矩的伦敦人来说,只要一踏进这家酒店,骨子中的性感就会彻底被撩拨起来,这就是Sanderson。 1981年,世界上第一家精品酒店在伦敦出现,这间由国际知名设计师Nausea Hamper设计的Blakes酒店在伦敦的南辛顿开业,从此,行宫在全世界范围内遭遇革命。

这是一片充满希望的热土——来自互助土族自治县五十乡的调查感言

应《中国土族》杂志解生才总编之提议,我欣然背起行囊,再次深入五十乡采访———前次是在上个世纪的最后一年秋。仅仅三五年时间有没有大的变化?一名社会科学研究者能否在这种发现、总结中找到自己的角色?调查初期,一连串的问号一直盘旋在脑海里。随着调查的步步深入,这些疑团被一个个地揭开。十余天采访结束后,周身如同经受了一场春雨的洗礼,“这是一片充满希望的热土”的感受像漪澜一般,在心底弥漫。我方才清醒,应当毫不犹豫、毫不保留地去发现、去讴歌群众中已经发生或正在发生的进步的变化。有变化就有希望,有希望就会有前进的无穷动力,…
