Glaciation of the Upper Forth River Catchment,Tasmania

The Upper Forth Valley was glaciated on at least four occasions during the late Cainozoic. The two most extensive glaciations were no younger than early Pleistocene in age. During the last glaciation the limited ice catchment at the head of the valley nourished only a short valley glacier with separate glaciers forming in the tributary valleys to the west During earlier glaciations the Forth catchment was invaded by ice from the Mersey Valley to the east.

花儿的现代创新

“花儿”是广泛流传于西北地区的一种传统民歌,多为即兴创作口头传唱,流淌着底层劳动者的情感和对生活的感喟。随着时间的推移,“花儿”这种民间艺术,以无比姣妍的花朵怒放在西北大地上,其歌词和曲令,也得以不断改进和创新,日益呈现出内容丰富、百花盛开的繁荣景象。本文作者以较多的篇幅和文字论述了自上世纪50年代开始,尤其是改革开放以来“花儿”创作在内容和形式上的创新和变化,观点新鲜、资料翔实,供爱好“花儿”者参考。

新四军"发展华中"考辨

本文主要对新四军发展华中过程中的重要史实进行考证,同时考证了<毛泽东军事文集>中的有关文献.本文认为:当时的"华中"是指长江以北、陇海路以南的苏、皖、鄂、豫地区.新四军成立之初,毛泽东对苏浙皖交界特别是皖南的战略地位十分关注,而对"华中"重视不够.六届六中全会确定了"巩固华北,发展华中"的战略,并且成立了中原局,但由于战略判断失误,在相当长的时间内,并没有就"发展华中"采取得力措施.周恩来的皖南之行对新四军在江南的发展起到了很大的作用,但对"发展华中"影响有限.1939年11月以后,中共中央下决心解决发展华中问题.但项英、陈毅分别主张重点发展皖南及江南,在抽调新四军主力部队问题上,与中共中央存在严重分歧,毛泽东一度打算以八路军作为发展华中的主力.1940年6月,为了解救江北被围困的新四军,陈毅最终决定率领江南新四军主力渡江.中共中央"发展华中"战略最终得以彻底的贯彻、执行.     

Environmental responsibility and the possibilities of pragmatist-orientated research

Human geographers have explored at some length the discourses and subject positions implicated in the recent rise of ‘environmental responsibility’. Assigning it either as an individual disposition enacted in various spaces, a performative ‘othering’ tool, and/or a form of ecological governmentality, these debates have said little about the role of research and researchers in encouraging environmental responsibility. Utilising arguments from William James’ ‘radical empiricism’, I argue that exploring practices through a pragmatist lens enables a tentative re-envisioning of environmental responsibility. Re-visiting my doctoral research into the household-level adoption of sustainable consumption practices, I claim environmental responsibility as an ethical experience felt at the moments when practices are reconsidered. Here, my presence played a vital role in this social experimentation, which, as pragmatists argue, is the fundamental basis of positive social change.     

深入贯彻落实科学发展观 努力促进地方志工作又好又快发展——在第四次全国地方志工作会议上的工作报告

同志们： 现在,我受第四届中国地方志指导小组委托,向第四次全国地方志工作会议作工作报告,请各位代表审议。     

关于皖南事变研究中的两个问题

皖南事变研究一直是抗日战争史和中共党史研究中引人关注的课题,迄今为止已经出版和发表了大量述。但是,在以往的研究中有些史实描述仍值得商榷。笔不揣简陋,仅就以下两个史实进行考订。     

香港春节:“混血儿”的N种可能性

就像是一枚红亮亮的中国结,"年"让所有中国人打开了一年365天的美好时光。"春节"是中国人最重要的传统文化节日,如今,生活条件好了,过年的方式也越见多样化、个性化。相对于一家人在家里团聚的传统过年方式来说,面对这2010年的第一个黄金周,现在有许多家庭"旅游过年"。难得一家人同时有假期,一起出去旅游是个不错的选择。不知你有没有听过这样一句话:"如果到香港旅游,不在香港过年,即使是时间长些,例如一个月,也无法完全体会到香港的多元文化的特点。"受中国几千年文化的熏陶和近百年现代文明的洗礼,香港的"年"文化是个不折不扣的中西文化混血儿。处处色彩斑斓、动感十足,节庆活动更是酝酿着N多种的可能性。大多数香港人对西方和其他地区的宗教和风俗持开放接受的态度,另一方面,香港人仍保留着中国的民间的部分传统、风俗。春节是香港人最重视的节日,他们对于春节的热情和执著,不是红旗一片、赞歌四起,而是千姿百态、五光十色。

体系、方法、思维实证创新论——理论牵引学术研究的三项探索

面对世界信息社会的走势,理论贫困是我国学术界的一大难题,它致使学术体系呆滞、研究方法呆板、思维方式僵化。有鉴于此,本通过约30年的学术实汪,以马克思主义的三句话,即以世界是转化过程的集合体构造体系,以“在头脑里建筑房屋”构建方法,以“为自己求理解”重组思维,进而对学术创新问题,从特定角度进行了探索。这是在新千年对新一代的学术馈赠。     

后五四时代部分北大师生的非政治倾向

五四运动后,在部分北大师生中曾出现一种非政治倾向,主张回归书斋、潜心学问。究其缘由,或许有四点成因:(一)借思想文化以解决问题的思维惯性;(二)教育救国与学术救国思潮的潜移默化;(三)为学术而学术风气的逐渐养成;(四)学生运动的流弊日益显现。这些因素最终造成一些知识界人士对政治产生了疏离乃至排斥的情绪。而从学术独立与社会分工的角度来看,这种非政治倾向当属另一种抉择,它诚然一时缓不济急,却也从一个侧翼执着地延续了新文化运动的思想启蒙事业,并使之逐渐趋于成熟、深化,故不宜简单片面予以否定。
