●[美]莱昂纳德·萨斯坎德(Leonard Susskind) 世界知名理论物理学家，斯坦福大学教授。美国国家科学院院士，美国艺术与科学院院士。弦论的创始人之一，他和其所领导的研究小组进行了多年的研究，最终提出了一个震惊世界的观点：宇宙的发展需要外在的力量参与而非自身发展。 ●[美]乔治·拉保夫斯基(George Hrabovsky) 物理爱好者，科普作家。在对物理学的研究中，拉保夫斯基形成了一种对物理学观点进行解释的独特的方法，所以在他的笔下，晦涩的理论之间产生了有逻辑的连接，艰涩的公式变得更易于理解。由于阐述物理学理论的深入浅出的能力，拉保夫斯基受到了斯坦福大学等众多名校学生的喜爱。

In this unconventional introduction, physicist Leonard Susskind and hacker-scientist George Hrabovsky offer a first course...(展开全部)

Scanlon offers a sharp challenge to much contemporary moral philosophy. Most philosophers think that agreements between people play only a subsidiary role in moral theory. What is right or wrong is independent of what people accept. Agreements rest on morality; they do not underlie it. Scanlon dissents. In his conception, morality depends on principles it would not be reasonabl...(展开全部)
