«每個人的故事都有它的意義——透過挖掘劉宰的生命故事，探索南宋士人的崇高使命感 «不再侷限皇帝達官顯要的歷史——重新建構南宋基層社會樣貌 ◎「與士大夫共治天下」不是說說而已——致仕歸鄉仍有志於社會 劉宰是何許人也？劉宰並非南宋重臣名宦，身分僅為地方士人官僚，他在官途順遂且尚處壯年之時，毅然辭官返鄉。由於他過往擔任地方基層官的種種經驗，加之家鄉鎮江府金壇縣位處南宋與金的邊境，是當時南宋政局動盪的首衝之地，於是他選擇「退而不休」，不只積極號召、凝聚鄉親人力，更多次推動大型社會公益活動。 ◎小人物立大功——誰說只有權有勢的官宦才能影響政局及社會 縱然劉宰不似同時代的史彌遠、韓侂冑等人威名赫赫，劉宰雖已脫離官場，他仍時常與當權者通信，並且依據自己在地方地所聞所見，提供政策解決方案，同時對時局提出建言。他作為政府官方與地方士人的中介，促使南宋地方政府與基層社會緊密連結，展現南宋時代的獨特士人社會力。 作者結合地理環境和時代政局的變動，描繪劉宰一生所關注、推動以及與時代環境緊密連結的家國事業，藉由認識劉宰他的人格特質以及他所代表的南宋時代的士人社會力微觀研究出發，剖析環境與資源對區域的發展影響，建構出更完整的南宋社會樣貌，試圖從與過往不同的視角理解南宋在中國歷史轉型期的關鍵地位。 Huang Kuanchung is a social historian, political historian, cultural historian, and intellectual historian all at once. All his talents are in apparent in this fascinating and important study of Liu Zai 劉宰in Southern Song local society and national politics. 黃寬重同時是社會、政治、文化和思想史學家。他所有的才能，在這部精彩且重要的關於南宋地方社會和國家政治的劉宰研究中，顯露無遺。——Peter Bol（包弼德）&n

隨著世界各城市的快速城市化，人口增加、交通擁擠、階層分化、氣候挑戰、自然災害等現象頻發，促使人類需要不斷接受挑戰、尋求新機。同時，隨著世界各地城市的密集化不斷加劇，住房成本飆升迫使更多的人居住在狹隘閉塞的空間裡，抑鬱和孤獨成為這一代人群中普遍存在的現象。柔性城市就是研究如何通過簡單的設計、低成本的投入來創造多樣性的居住生活空間，調和高密度與宜居性之間的矛盾，來緩解快速城市化、密集的城市空間帶來的負面影響，使現代生活可以在日益嚴重的種族分化和氣候挑戰中，變得更溫和一些。 本書介紹了一些關於城市設計和城市形態方面的觀察，有助於建立更可持續和有韌性的社區，並為居住在其中的人們提供更健康和更幸福的生活。在《建築模塊：生活在城市化的世界裡》（Building Blocks: Living Locally in an Urbanizing World）部分，闡述面對城市化帶來的挑戰，如何適應並利用現在的密度和多樣性，創造更舒適、便捷、和諧幸福的鄰裡環境，從而增加人們的歸屬感。在《行走在這個擁擠而隔離的世界裡》（Getting About and Getting On in a Congested and Segregated World）部分，闡述關於人類物理運動和社會交往的雙重挑戰，從走出家門開始。擁擠和隔離是相關的，因為隔離帶來的物理運動需要更多的空間，這就產生了更多的交通。現代規劃的城市，在不同的分區和功能之間創造了對交通的巨大需求。在《適應不斷變化的氣候條件》（Living with the Weather in a Time of Climate Change）部分，闡述更好地將生活在室內的人們與外界聯繫起來，提高人們對自然力量的認識，讓人們更舒適地與之相處。隨著越來越多的人生活在密集的建築環境中，花時間在戶外、接觸自然現象和學習如何適應天氣的季節性變化越來越重要。與自然聯繫在一起的日常體驗也是長期健康和幸福的關鍵因素。花點時間在戶外也提供了結識更多人並分享彼此的際遇的機會。通過一系列的戶外空間和體驗，如從窗口到屋頂露臺，從陽臺到公園，從路邊的咖啡館到林蔭大道，可以使人們更接近自然，幫助他們更好地適應各種天氣變化。
In this innovative study, David Parkin shows how indigenous African rites and beliefs may be reworked to accommodate a variety of economic systems, new spatial and ecological relations between communities, and the locally variable influences of Islam and Christianity. The Giriama people of Kenya include pastoralists living in the hinterland; farmers, who work land closer to the coast; and migrants, who earn money as labourers or fishermen on the coast itself. Wherever they live, they revere an ancient and formerly fortified capital, located in the pastoralist hinterland, which few of them ever see or visit. Their different perspectives sometimes conflict, but together provide a shifting idea of the sacred place. As the site of occasional large-scale ceremonies, moreover, the settlement becomes especially important at times of national crisis. It then acts as a moral core of Giriama society, and a symbolic defence against total domination and assimilation.
