Over the past two decades, no field of scientific inquiry has had a more striking impact across a wide array of disciplines–from biology to physics, computing to meteorology–than that known as chaos and complexity, the study of complex systems. Now astrophysicist John Gribbin draws on his expertise to explore, in prose that communicates not only the wonder but the substance of cutting-edge science, the principles behind chaos and complexity. He reveals the remarkable ways these two revolutionary theories have been applied over the last twenty years to explain all sorts of phenomena–from weather patterns to mass extinctions. Grounding these paradigm-shifting ideas in their historical context, Gribbin also traces their development from Newton to Darwin to Lorenz, Prigogine, and Lovelock, demonstrating how–far from overturning all that has gone before–chaos and complexity are the triumphant extensions of simple scientific laws. Ultimately, Gribbin illustrates how chaos and complexity permeate the universe on every scale, governing the evolution of life and galaxies alike.

《孙子兵法》是我国最古老最杰出的一部兵书，历来备受推崇，研习者辈出不穷。我们现在能见到的最早为《孙子兵法》作注的乃一代枭雄曹操，字里行间不乏曹操的真知灼见。当代著名军事家郭化若更是长期研究《孙子兵法》，不但为全文作了校勘、注释、今译，还撰有题解及考订、评论文字，既有较高的学术水平，又浅显易懂。本书在郭化若注评的基础上又加上了曹操的注，将孙武、曹操、郭化若的军事思想融为一书，以裨读者把握我国两千年来军事思想演化的脉络。同时为方便阅读，在开本、版式、装帧等方面亦作了精心的设计。堪称形式与内容相得益彰。

从十五世纪下半叶起，以意大利为发源地，欧洲进入了文艺复兴时期。正如恩格斯曾经指出的，这是一次人类从来没有经历过的最伟大的、进步的变化，是一个需要巨人的时代，而且产生了巨人——在思维能力、热情和性格方面，在多才多艺和学识渊博方面的巨人时代。尼科洛·马基雅维里正是这个伟大时代的巨人之一。他是意大利佛罗伦萨的政治家、外交家，同时也是一位政治思想家。同时也是第一个使政治学独立，同伦理家彻底分家的人，有“资产阶级政治学奠基人”之称，并且是历史家、军事著作者、诗人和剧作家。 在作者的几部学术名著中，《君主论》是最小的一部，但也是最有名的，它使马基雅维里身后获得举世周知的名声。

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves and each other. They have inspire d debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.

Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague.Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder.Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance.He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life.Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college.Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

《宽容》一书出版于1925年，当时作为通俗历史学家的房龙在美国已是家喻户晓。他用手中那只有魔力的笔，生动地描绘了在西方文化最显著的脉络——基督教文化的发展中，人类是怎样不断与“不宽容”做着斗争。宽容意味着个性与自由，而发现个性本身就是人类的一种进步。房龙在书中曾感慨地说：“生命本来是一次光荣的冒险，结果却变成了一场可怕的经历。之所以如此，就是因为迄今为止，人类的生存完全被恐惧所笼罩。”正因为《宽容》中满溢着这样一种追求自由的人文情怀，它的中文版在上世纪80年代首度问世时，立即在中国掀起了热潮，极大地满足了整个时代充满激情的阅读品味。在极短的时间内，不同的版本接连而出，创造出难以想象的销售奇迹。2002年初，紫图首次推出《宽容》的全彩插图本，以适合21世纪的阅读方式，面向当代的眼光，赋予这本经典名著以新的面貌和气息。紫图的全彩插图本获得了极大的成功，成为深受读者欢迎的常销书，并被输出到韩国、台湾等国家和地区。5年后，紫图再次推出的这个全彩插图增修本，经过大量的编辑修订和增加插图，使这一版本更隽永、更超值，更适合家庭珍藏和全家共赏。
