布赖恩·费根（Brian M. Fagan）是著名的考古学作家，是非洲史领域跨学科研究的先锋。自1967年开始，他成为加州大学圣芭芭拉分校的人类学教授，并开始专职于面向大众写作和讲授考古学。费根教授撰写了多部畅销教材，包括《考古学入门》（Archaeology: A Brief Introduction）、《尼罗河的劫掠》（The Rape of the Nile）等。

“全新改进”这样的宣传语确实能帮助很多手机和咖啡机畅销，恐怕也能让很多教科书卖得很好。但我们并不会使用这样的宣传语。毕竟，这是我们这套教科书的第六版了；如果书中的所有内容都真的是“全新改进”的，那么之前的版本就都应该被视为过时了，或者急需修订才行。但事实并非如此。我们花了超过15年的时间来编写这套教科书，在这个过程中我们学到了很多——不仅是从反复修改教材的过程中获得的经验，也来自于全国各地许多教师和学生们的反馈：他们告诉了我们哪些地方他们喜欢，哪些地方他们不满意，以及我们该如何把那些不满意的地方改进成他们喜欢的部分。 需要强调的是，第六版绝不是在保留第五版内容的基础上 merely更换了封面而已。在每一章中，我们都对所涉及的基础科学知识进行了数十处的更新，同时还加入了许多旨在反映当前时代快速变化的内容，比如COVID-19大流行所带来的影响。在本书编...(展开全部)

In keeping with their successful introductory econometrics text, Stock and Watson motivate each methodological topic with a real-world policy application that uses data, so that readers apply the theory immediately. Introduction to Econometrics, Brief, is a streamlined version of their text, including the fundamental topics, an early review of statistics and probability,...(展开全部)
