Spire
Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire on his cathedral. His mason anxiously advises against it, for the old cathedral was built without foundations. Nevertheless, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, until the stone pillars shriek and the ground beneath it swims. Its shadow falls ever darker on the world below, and on Dean Jocelin in pgsk.com the author of Lord of the Flies, The Spire is a dark and powerful portrait of one man's will, and the folly that he creates.'A superb tragedy … the book should become a classic.'

A Native's Return, 1945-1988
The third in a three-volume series, this edition chronicles the life of noted journalist, historian, and author William Shirer-a witness to the rise of the Third Reich. Here, Shirer recounts his return to Berlin after its defeat, his shocking firing by CBS News, and his final visit to Paris sixty years after he first lived there as a cub reporter in the 1920s. It paints a bittersweet picture of his final decades, friends lost to old age, and a changing world.More personal than the first two volumes, this final installment takes an unflinching look at the author's own struggles after World War II-and his vindication after the publication of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, his most acclaimed work. It also provides intimate details of his often-troubled marriage. This book gives readers a surprising and moving account of the last years of a true historian-and an important witness to history.
Twenty Years After（III） 达尔达尼央浪漫曲之二：二十年后（上）（英文版）
Twenty Years After is a novel by Alexandre Dumas. The novel follows events in France during the Fronde, during the childhood reign of Louis XIV, and in England near the end of the English Civil War, leading up to the victory of Oliver Cromwell and the execution of King Charles I. Through the words of the main characters, particularly Athos, Dumas comes out on the side of the monarchy in general, or at least the text often praises the idea of benevolent royalty. His musketeers are valiant and just in their efforts to protect young Louis XIV and the doomed Charles I from their attackers.A book of The d'Artagnan Romances, it is a sequel to The Three Musketeers and precedes The Vicomte de Bragelonne (which includes the sub-plot Man in the Iron Mask). The fantastic adventures of the Three Musketeers continue - starting with an intrigue surrounding D'Artagnan who has, for twenty years, remained a lieutenant.

文明的进程：文明的社会发生和心理发生的研究（大学译丛）
埃利亚斯是德国著名社会学家，《文明的进程》是埃利亚斯的成名之作，出版后轰动西方世界，成为畅销书。我们习惯把文明看成一种摆在我们面前的现成财富，但在埃利亚斯看来，“文明的表现”绝非天然如此，文明是一种过程，是历经数百年逐步演变的结果，是心理逐步积淀规范的结果。传统社会学把人和社会看成是两个各自独立的实体，而作者推翻了这种两分法，提出两者不可分割，正是宏观的社会和微观的人之间的互动激荡形成了个人、国家乃至社会的整个文明的进程轨迹。本书提供了一种新的历史研究方法：不仅研究社会经济，而且考察人的情绪气质和思维方式的变迁；不仅重视重大事件，也从小处着手，探讨人的行为举止和日常生活，以小见大。作者将历史学、政治学、心理学、经济学、种族学、人类学和社会学等熔为一炉，使这部作品成为20世纪不可多得的一本百科全书式的人文经典读本。
全球公民社会引论
本书不仅要说明国家虽然受到来自全球公民社会的影响和制约，但其程度却是相当有限的，这种状态还将持续相当长的时间，即使是在全球公民社会与全球资本共同作用的情况下，国家在可以预见的历史中不会消亡；不仅要说明在今天仍显赢弱的全球公民社会具有美好的发展前景，它必将成为与国家和资本相平等的全球治理的三大基础设施之一；本书更要说明的是，虽然在未来的全球政治中，全球公民社会、全球资本将成为与国家相平等的治理主体，但这仅仅是否定了目前存在的国家作为“唯一的”(only)治理主体的地位，而不是要否定国家作为“主导性的”(primary)治理主体的地位，国家虽然不再是“家长”，但它应该拥有“兄长”的身份。
