Armen Alchian, an American economist born in Fresno, California, is in many ways like Ronald Coase (see Coase). Like Coase, Alchian has published only a few articles, but very few unimportant ones. Also, like Coase's articles, some of Alchian's are widely cited.

罗贝托·波拉尼奥（Roberto Bolaño，1953—2003） 出生于智利，1977年抵达加泰罗尼亚，此前他生活在智利（他出生的地方）和墨西哥。他人生超过一半的时光都在宽容又充满生机的加泰罗尼亚度过，巴塞罗纳、赫罗纳，尤其是布拉内斯。他和卡洛琳娜·洛佩斯在布拉内斯定居并生了两个孩子，劳塔罗和亚历山德拉。 四十岁之前，他写诗，革命，吸毒，流浪，生病—总之，他几乎什么都干过，除了写小说。 而在他四十岁之后的十年，除了写小说，他几乎什么都没干。 得知病情的几个月后，1993年，波拉尼奥开始着手整理自己几乎所有的诗歌手稿，并附上详细的目录、创作日期说明及出处，题为《未知大学》，是未来将出版的《未知大学》的雏形。中文版诗集以《未知大学》为主体，同时收录作者此前已出版的另外三部诗集：《安特卫普》（2002年）、《浪漫主义狗》（2000年）和《三》（2000...(展开全部)

从“独裁的阶级社会”到“人人平等的民主社会”，现代社会正在经历深刻的变化，民主不仅是一种政治思想，也意味着生活方式、育儿方式的改变。如何在尊重孩子、给孩子平等自由的同时，让孩子尊重规则、承担责任、赢得合作，这是现代教育的基础课题，也是现代父母要面对的永恒挑战。——这段赫然印在题词页的话，正是德雷克斯创作《孩子：挑战》这部家庭教育代表作的核心理念。 《孩子：挑战》中推荐的方法是基于著名心理学家阿尔弗雷德•阿德勒（Alfred Adler）的生活哲学理念及人类生活观。基于此，德雷克斯在书中倡导：既不建议家长纵容孩子，也不建议家长严惩孩子，家长要学习的是如何成为孩子的合作者，有方法了解他们，有能力引导他们，不让他们成了没人管的“野孩子”，也不让他们在家里感到压抑和窒息。 每一位父母面对自己的孩子时，要赢得的不是挑战，而是爱和尊重，以及相伴中的彼此成长！《孩...(展开全部)
