比英国《大宪章》更重要的传统——财经史话之一

1568年,在哈布斯堡王朝治下的尼德兰,自发的骚乱升级为由奥伦治亲王（Prince of Orange）威廉一世（William I）所领导的有组织的反叛。这场反叛,除了短暂的停战外,一直持续到1648年,被称为“80年战争”。

重读毕淑敏女士的《孝心无价》

十多年前,我无意中在某杂志上看到著名作家毕淑敏女士的一篇散文作品《孝心无价》,叙事结构独特,文字凝练优美,篇幅短小有力,读来朗朗上口,但在平静的语句中却孕育着排山倒海般亲情的狂澜,读后令人久久不能平息,十分有教育意义,堪称是现代孝亲敬老文化的经典力作。十多年后,再次在网上拜读,这篇散文所散发出的浓郁的孝亲敬老精神,仍然强烈地撞击着我的心灵,震撼着我的思维。     

古典意境 现代情怀——重读郑愁予《错误》

《错误》是一首汲取古典诗词营养,意境婉约情韵悠长,且又充满现代情怀的伟大之诗。《错误》之妙在于反衬法的运用、内容与形式的完美结合以及言简意丰,韵味无穷。理解这首诗,至少有三个层次。第—个层次便是游子思归与思妇盼归。第二个层次是对两岸团聚统一的企盼。第三个层次便是“无家可归”的现代人对“精神家园”的回归。     

保护非物质文化遗产公约基本精神之重读——社区参与保护理念

我国的非物质文化遗产保护是在联合国教科文组织的直接推动之下全面展开的。目前我国的非遗保护工作正处于由静态保护转向动态保护的探索阶段。社区参与的保护理念作为《公约》的核心思想,对于我们进一步科学理解非遗和解决动态保护中所面临种种问题都有着重大的现实意义。文章通过分析社区参与理念在《公约》中的地位和作用,进一步提出对我国下一阶段非议保护的有益建议。     

一个盛产“大师”的年代——重读《反杜林论》有感

恩格斯的《反杜林论》，还是上世纪70年代初号召读马列时细读过的。这次搬家整理书籍，无意中在书堆中发现了。拿过翻读，见到上面用红笔密密麻麻写着的稚拙的读书心得，不禁有如见故人之感。于是重读了一遍。     

浅析顾长卫电影中的女性生存寓言——以《孔雀》《立春》《最爱》为例

忧虑与应对--重读《中国大战略》

《中国大战略》是美国兰德公司空军项目部的一份中国问题研究报告。兰德公司是美国有名的思想库,作者之一迈克尔·斯温是兰得公司亚太政策中心主任,为当今美国最活跃的中国问题专家之一。通览全书很容易使人想起20世纪90年代初美国战略家布热津斯基的《大棋局》一书,前者是美国学者为扩展美国的全球霸权而开出的良方,后者则是美国战略界为维护美国霸权,应对中国崛起而进行的探讨,并较多地采用了现实主义的研究方法和理论。     

重读《孔乙己》

《孔乙己》是鲁迅先生写的一篇短篇小说,孔乙己的故事给了我们一个窥探上个时代人们生活的机会,这篇小说作为中才发现之前的许多固有感受并不成熟,鲁迅先生想要让读者感受的主要思想也未被吸收。只是浅读并不能吸收其中全部的养分,以现代的思想与角度去读也只能看到小说的局部。要想真正了解它,便需要多读几遍,将自己融入那个时代,将自己想成酒馆里的食客、老板以及潦倒的孔乙己,试着像他们一样思考。换位思考,带着问题与想法去读,慢慢地去发现迷雾后的风景。面对只有两千多字的小说,想要读出另一种感受,着实需要下功夫、用狠劲。

Open space conservation in urban environments: lessons from Thousand Oaks,California

The conservation of large amounts of natural open space presents a significant challenge to local government, particularly in rapidly growing communities. In Thousand Oaks, California, over 12,000 acres of natural open space have been preserved within the City's planning area, while simultaneously accommodating approximately 116,000 residents.The purpose of this paper is to describe the factors that have contributed to open space preservation by local government in Thousand Oaks. These factors include community initiative and support, open space conservation policies, diverse implementation techniques, creation of a local agency for open space stewardship, experience and commitment of staff, inter-agency agreements, large landholdings, and topography. This study highlights the need for a multi-faceted, integrated and long-term approach to open space conservation, based on public support. Many of the factors outlined in this paper may be applicable in other communities that are trying to balance economic growth with the conservation of natural landscapes.

Is there a need for a theory of urban ecology?

Although urban ecosystems are governed by the same ecological laws as rural ecosystems, the relative importance of certain ecological patterns and processes differs between the two types of ecosystems. For instance, as compared to rural areas, urban habitats are usually more islandlike, more often represent early successional stages, and more easily invaded by alien species. All these features are results of the intense human influence on urban landscapes. The question then arises whether a distinct theory of urban ecology is needed for understanding ecological patterns and processes in the urban setting. The answer is no, because urban ecosystems can be successfully studied using existing ecological theories, such as the metapopulation theory. However, due to the intense human presence approaches that include the human aspect are useful in studying urban systems. For instance, the human ecosystem model, which emphasizes human impact by identifying social components with connections to ecology, is a useful approach in urban studies. This model, combined with the urban–rural gradient approach, forms an effective tool for studying key ecological features of urban ecosystems. Better understanding of these features would increase our ability to predict changes that land use causes in urban ecosystems, and would help to integrate ecology better into urban planning.     

Two Teacher Educators Go to the Source: Teaching an Interdisciplinary Class in an Urban Charter High School

The authors of this article are two teacher educators who worked collaboratively to co-teach an interdisciplinary English and US history class to eleventh-grade students in an urban high school. They wanted to ensure the methods they were teaching preservice teachers were current and effective. The article discusses the foundational beliefs that influenced their teaching, the interdisciplinary curriculum they taught, some of the challenges they encountered, and a brief snapshot of the students' views of the curriculum. The authors discuss that putting their beliefs into practice outweighed the challenges they encountered—a culturally relevant, authentic, interdisciplinary curriculum can be effective in an urban classroom. The experience also assisted them in teaching their English and social studies methods classes.

Challenges, threats and opportunities in post-conflict urban development in Kosovo

This paper reports on a special case of restoration of municipal urban planning practice in a post-conflict context. In Kosovo, the administrative environment in which the practice of urban planning and mobility management is embedded is characterized by a high degree of instability. The main reason for this is the transition from a rather centralized form of urban planning, a typical aspect of the Yugoslav planned economy, into a markedly free form of development, characterized by loose control by the authorities. Although this trend can be observed to some extent in many former socialist countries, the Kosovo war in 1999 has dramatically accelerated this process. Given the very European-oriented historic settlement structure, based on a hierarchy of relatively small and compact cities, this trend entails many problems in the areas of environment, infrastructure, mobility, landscape, and property rights.This paper gives an overview of the reasons for this evolution and assesses possible solutions based on field experience from two support programmes (MuSPP by UN-Habitat, and MobKos by the Flemish Government (Belgium)) that are operating in the regional city of Peja/Pe?.
