The Light in the Ruins
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the New York Times bestselling author of The Flight Attendant comes a spellbinding novel of love, despair, and revenge—set in war-ravaged Tuscany. 1943: Tucked away in the idyllic hills of Tuscany, the Rosatis, an Italian family of noble lineage, believe that the walls of their ancient villa will keep them safe from the war raging across Europe. But when two soldiers—a German and an Italian—arrive at their doorstep asking to see an ancient Etruscan burial site, the Rosatis’ bucolic tranquility is shattered. 1955: Serafina Bettini, an investigator with the Florence Police Department, has successfully hidden her tragic scars from WWII, at least until she’s assigned to a gruesome new case—a serial killer who is targeting the remaining members of the Rosati family one by one. Soon, she will find herself digging into past secrets that will reveal a breathtaking story of moral paradox, human frailty, and the mysterious ways of the heart. Look for Chris Bohjalian's new novel, The Lioness!
Ethnographies of Islam in China
In the late 1970s Islam regained its force by generating novel forms of piety and forging new paths in politics throughout the world, including China. The Islamic revival in China, which came to fruition in the 2000s and the 2010s, prompted increases in government suppression but also intriguing resonances with the broader Muslim world—from influential theoretical and political contestations over Muslim women’s status, the popularization of mass media and the appearance of new patterns of consumption, to increases in transnational Muslim migration. Although China does not belong to the “Islamic world” as it is conventionally understood, China’s Muslims have strengthened and expande...
Phi in the Sky
Particle physicists have been looking for scalar fields for a long time: the Higgs field, for example, is crucial in the standard particle physics model but it has not been found so far. Similarly, cosmologists have become interested in scalar fields recently and a few tantalizing hints have surfaced in the past few years which could be viewed as direct or indirect evidence for the presence of scalar fields. This workshop discussed the motivation for the existence of scalar fields in nature, assessed their consequences and identified key distinguishing characteristics that might provide strong interests in the coming years. Examples include the evidence for inflation in the early universe, the recent claim of detection of variations of the fine-structure constant (and also the electron-to-proton mass ratio) and the possible detection of a cosmic string through its graviational effect.
追尋民國漢語穆斯林的足跡
漢語穆斯林（The Chinese-speaking Muslims / The Han-speaking Muslims：漢回）是個民族嗎？ 與我們傳統上認知的回族，有什麼不一樣？ 當年提倡漢、滿、蒙、回、藏，五族共和，是否包含漢語穆斯林？ 種種問題，由平山光將博士在本書中解答。 漢語穆斯林，與過去我們認知的藏族、蒙古族、新疆回族不一樣，這三個「族」，會被認為有共同的居住地域、生活習俗、宗教信仰、語言文字，是過去所謂的「邊疆民族」，蒙古、西藏在地方制度上是「地方」，新疆雖然是省級單位，但在抗戰末期，也由蒙藏委員會委員長吳忠信前往接任省主...
