周恩来与邓颖超的爱情传奇

"春天到了,百花竞放,西花厅的海棠花又盛开了,看花的主人已经走了,走了十二年了,离开了我们,他不再回来了。你不是喜欢海棠花吗?解放初期,你偶然看到这个海棠花盛开的院落,就爱上了海棠花,也就爱上了这个院落,选定这个院落,到这个盛开着海棠花的院落来居住。你住了二十六年了,我比你住得还长,现在已经是三十八年了。"     

阅读解放 绽放解放

一个城市从诞生的那一天起,就开始有了生命,有了呼吸,有了爱恋,有了渴望,有了悲欢离合,有了光荣与梦想。如果将盘龙城定为武汉城市的萌芽,那么,武汉便拥有三千五百年的历史了。没有一株大树,能够伴随武汉从远古一直青枝绿叶的走来;见证武汉的漫长的历史的,除了万古流淌的江汉,永恒相望的龟蛇,     

钱理群:我不懂当下的青年

正今天,我又想起了2002年6月27日,12年前我在北大上最后一课的情景。当时我上课的教室放着邵燕君送的花篮,上面写着"鲁迅北大"。上完课以后北大的网上立刻传出了600来个帖子,中心意思是:钱老师"一路走好"。我最认同其中一个帖子,它说钱老师该说的已经说了,愿意听的也听了,不愿意听的也就不听了,也不在乎了,也该退休了。今天的会也使我想起了这段话,就是我该写的写了,愿意看的也看了,不愿意看的也不看了,就应该告别了。当然是告别学术界,而不是告别学术。     

求真 扬善 创造美——真爱每一个学生

[题记]：在高校学生管理工作的过程中,我发现,作为教育对象的大学生物质富裕的多了,精神富裕的少了;玩世不恭的多了,彬彬有礼的少了;混沌人世的多了,引领社会的少了;而作为教育工作者的教师们忙科研的多了,忙学生的少了;忙论文的多了,忙备课的少了;受学生指责的多了,受学生尊敬的少了……     

清代屯田对新疆的经济影响

居安思危

我们的共和国已走过了60年,祖国繁荣昌盛,成长了,壮大了,富强了,它早已向世界昭告：占人类总数四分之一的中国人,从此站起来了,屹立在世界的东方!     

消防演习

正星期一第二节课,校园内开始警铃大作,我们知道这是消防演习要开始了。我们都拿出了早已经准备好的毛巾,排成一队,有顺序地往外疏散。很快,我撤到了安全区域,喘着粗气。忽然开来了两辆消防车,从上面迅速跳下来几个全副武装的穿着橙黄色衣服的消防队员,迅速地拿起消防栓,将"火"喷灭了。接下来,消防车上架起了云梯,不一会儿,云梯就伸到了四楼的窗户口。接着窗口有几个人爬了出来,坐进了云梯     

春天来到白鹭洲

正春天悄悄地来了,来了,她那轻盈的脚步声近了……近了。她一挥手,动听的音符就响起来了;她一跳舞,可爱的小鸟就跟着唱起来了。她染绿了小草,描青了山岭,点红了百花……她把白鹭洲也打扮得多姿多彩。一进公园大门,一片接着一片的新绿就挤进我的眼帘,五彩斑斓的小野花儿簇拥着,散发着扑鼻的香味,像是春天的小精灵。光秃秃的树枝上有了绿色的小叶,仿佛一串小巧     

春天来到我心间

正"春姑娘来了,春姑娘来了。"随着日历无声地呼唤,春天的脚步近了、近了。她不仅走进了那美妙的大自然,而且走进了我心间,让我的心灵既感到万分温暖,又充满了希望。记得那是上个星期的事了。因为我的作文成绩在班里名列前茅,所以,老师给了我一次上升旗台的机会,我十分高兴。那个星期五晚上,我情不自禁     

新旅行的意义

<正>新年,一个新的开篇,从这一刻起,一场新的旅行又开始了。记得有位旅行作家说过,你最爱的地方就是你曾经到过的地方。因为走过了这些地方,你便与它们有了关联,分享了那里的生活,那里的喜怒哀乐,并且从此对那个地方生出了一份关爱。当习惯了熟悉的地方,你会自然而然对这里有了依赖,依赖熟悉的场景,依赖每一个亲近的人。     

Telling small stories: spaces of knowledge and the practice of geography

This article examines how the practice of learning geography, and the arenas in which knowledge-making takes place, can be usefully positioned within changing histories of the discipline. It contends that networks of action – understood through the intersection of social sites, subjects and sources – present a conceptual framework and narrative focus for the re-consideration of specific episodes from geography's past. The interventions made here are informed and illustrated by a 'small story' about the doing of geography. Based on different personal accounts, the story revives a series of events, encounters, dialogues and images dating back to the winter of 1951 at Glenmore Lodge, Scotland. This educational institution in the Cairngorm mountains offered children from urban areas the opportunity to learn field studies and the skills of 'outdoor citizenship'. Initially, the focus falls on Margaret Jack, a 14-year-old field-course participant. Her learning experiences are traced through personal letters, a diary and a field journal dating from that time, and her recent recollections of this event. Margaret's account dovetails with the story of her field studies instructor, Robin Murray. Robin's role is traced through his learning experiences as a geography undergraduate at Aberdeen University, and the recent recollections of Catriona Murray, his wife.     

Das Wissen der Schulden. Recht,Kulturtechnik und Alltagserfahrung im liberalen Kapitalismus

The Knowledge of Debt: Law, Media Technique, and Everyday Experience in Liberal Capitalism. Performing an object such as ‘the economy’ hinges on practices of formatting knowledge. The article proposes to look at such instituting moments in connection with social conflicts over the legitimate rules of exchange. This is exemplified by way of recounting the story of the codification of Swiss bankruptcy law in 1889. In order to homogenize the legal procedures of debt collection and bankruptcy, two subject categories were instituted: ‘merchants’ and ‘non-merchants’. These different categories were thought to account for the diverging temporalities and spaces of credit exchange in everyday economic life. The introduction of the commercial register, a media-technical apparatus, enabled a formal distinction between ‘merchants’ and ‘non-merchants’. However, this boundary was contested and proved to be porose.     

Two radiocarbon dates for freshwater shells from hierakonpolis: Archaeological and geological interpretations

Shells of two species of freshwater bivalve (Unio willcocksi Bullen Newton and Etheria elliptica Lamarck) from the predynastic Gerzean (Nagada II) Decorated Tomb at Hierakonpolis, Egypt have given dates of 5000±90 bp for the tomb, and 12,900±120 bp for an episode of Nile terrace accumulation (correlated here with the Sahaba-Darau aggradation event). The archaeological and geological significance of these results is discussed, together with an outline of problems associated with radiocarbon dating of shell. Comparisons are made with the few other radiocarbon dates available for the Predynastic period in Egypt and possible reasons for the presence of shells in the tomb are considered.     

Some chronological implications of a fossil molluscan assemblage from a neolithic site at Brook,Kent, England

The later post-glacial history of a valley in the chalk escarpment near Brook, Kent, is described, based on molluscan stratigraphy, archaeological evidence and radio-carbon dating. Differences in size and colour banding, respectively, of fossil and living representatives of two species of land snails, Pomatias elegans (Müller) and Cepaea nemoralis (L.), are correlated with climatic change during the post-glacial period. The problems of the use of fossil shells of these species as samples for radiocarbon dating are discussed.     

China's Dynamic Industrial Sector: The Internet Industry

A Singapore-based economic geographer explores and analyzes the spatially uneven evolution of the Internet industry in China, arguing that the country's immense regional disparity in the provision of Internet services is best explained by the interplay of place- and path-dependence. The author demonstrates how the highly uneven regional endowments in relevant industrial and entrepreneurial resources have led to the substantial and persistent regional imbalance within China's emerging "new economy." His initial survey of the country's 100 leading Internet content providers (firms), identified from a listing of ca. 11,700 commercial websites, is selectively augmented to reflect an increase of over 70 million Internet users in 2007, reaching a total of 253 million in June 2008, and thus overtaking the United States as the world's largest Internet market.

The 1911 International Exposition in Rome: architecture, archaeology, and national identity

This paper discusses the 1911 International Exposition in Rome and illustrates how this patriotic celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Italian Sate utilized symbolic landscapes of architecture and archaeology to promote nationalist sentiments of italianità and romanità centered on the young capital of Rome. Through modern art exhibitions at the Valle Giulia, scientific conferences at the Castel Sant’Angelo, archaeological exhibits on the Roman Empire in the Baths of Diocletian, and regional Italian pavilions in the Piazza d’Armi, exposition officials offered a complex representation of Italian national identity that was modern yet ancient, cosmopolitan yet bucolic, European yet regional, and imperial yet developing.     

The Rise and Fall of Alexander the Great – The Need for Medical Analysis: Reply to Commentaries

Alexander the Great died in 323 B.C. from an unknown cause. By elucidating the nature of his death, we can better interpret various aspects of Alexandrian history. Alexander’s death may have ensued from the sequelae of a congenital scoliotic syndrome. It would therefore be of significance to note that one of the greatest leaders in history who conquered much of the then known world may have been suffering from a physical disability.     

The Chemists' Style of Thinking

Der Denkstil der Chemiker. Der Aufsatz diskutiert die Tragfähigkeit des Begriffes “Denkstil”, wie er von Alistair Crombie eingeführt und Ian Hacking aufgegriffen wurde, für das Verständnis dessen, wie das Fach Chemie historisch seine Identität ausgeprägt hat. Obwohl weder Crombie noch Hacking den Begriff “Denkstil” in Bezug auf einzelne Disziplinen verwendet haben, erscheint im Fall der Chemie seine Anwendung besonders vielversprechend, weil er hier hilft, ein zentrales Problem zu thematisieren – nämlich die Frage, wie es Chemikern trotz wechselnder Gegenstandsbereiche und theoretischer Umbrüche gelang, eine eigenständige und stabile Identität auszubilden. Nach einer Einführung in den Begriff “Denkstil”, argumentiert der Aufsatz, dass die Beständigkeit der Chemie als eines Faches wesentlich in ihren Laborpraktiken gründet, die ihrerseits wiederum die spezifische Art der Fragen bestimmten, die Chemiker in ihren Forschungen stellten bzw. die Form der Antworten, nach denen sie suchten. Folgende Merkmale kennzeichnen diesen “chemischen Denkstil” (1) eine spezifische, im Herstellen begründete Form des Wissens, (2) die Befassung mit einzelnen Stoffen und Materialien statt mit Materie im Allgemeinen und (3) eine Beobachtung von Natur besonders im Hinblick auf Transformationsprozesse. The Chemists' Style of Thinking. This paper discusses the relevance of the notion of “styles of scientific thinking” introduced by Alistair Crombie and revisited by Ian Hacking, for understanding how chemistry shaped its identity. Although neither Crombie nor Hacking applied this notion to individual disciplines, it seems appropriate to use it in the case of chemistry because it helps to address a puzzling issue: how did chemists manage to shape an identity of their own, despite shifting territories and theoretical transformations? Following a presentation of the notion of style, I will argue that the stable identity of chemistry is rooted in laboratory practices, which determined the specific questions that chemists put to nature as well as the answers to their questions. The “chemical style of thinking” is characterized by i) a specific way of knowing through making, ii) the concern with individual materials rather than matter in general and iii) a specific commitment to nature.
