By describing the fabric of relationships that indigenous peoples weave with their environment, this book attempts to define a more precise notion of indigenous territoriality. Beyond a natural environment from which they obtain the necessary natural resources for subsistence, the territory for indigenous peoples is a space made up of an intricate network of social ties which also interrelates with human groups. Other elements of the biosphere, such as plants, animals, mountains, etc., can also be part of these social networks, given that they are regarded as living beings attributed with a will and emotions similar to that of human beings.

The territoriality of an environment imbued with feelings, memories, subjectivities and bonds consequently begins deep within the person who experiences it. An attack on the territorial rights of indigenous peoples is also therefore an attack on human rights. This state of affairs provides unusual implications for the legal development of indigenous rights to their territories, the defence of the status and protection required by these areas, many of which are now formally titled.

A large part of the work of titling the South American indigenous territories may now indeed be completed. However this book aims to demonstrate that, in addition to management, these territories involve many other complex aspects that must not be overlooked if we are to avoid the risk of witnessing these territories and the people who inhabit them turned into further victims of the logic of production.

內容簡介（摘錄自前言）
本書撰輯的是以臺北地區的公共建設以及其工商產業為主，全書收錄約600張的明信片，以圖為主以文為輔的方式，將圖片影像作一簡短的歷史解說。本書所定義的臺北，係指廣義的臺北地區，因為日治時期的臺北市，實際只在於古城區、艋舺、大稻埕的所謂三市區間，約今之大同、中正、萬華三區。與今之台北市相較，當時的臺北市約僅為今台北市偏西一隅。然為求其完整性，遂以今之大臺北地區為輯錄原則。

本書所選輯的600張明信片中，主要為殖民政權以公權力所建設的政府廳舍、學校、博物圖書館、公園等公共設施，少部分為清領時期的建設遺蹟及私人產業。依歷史發展的性質，略分為10篇，即總督建築篇、臺北州廳篇、臺北古城篇、市區街町篇、教育文化篇、醫療衛生篇、交通傳播篇、教堂寺廟篇、工商產業篇、休閒娛樂篇。

這些明信片發行時，部分標有日文解說，或為發行者的情感抒發，或為圖片建物的說明記錄，筆者對原說明一一加以中譯，並標上「原說明」字樣，實則應為「原說明中譯」。

Who will determine the outcome of the November congressional elections? Who will influence which issues frame the debate? What forces will shape the upcoming impeachment debate? It may not be the voters, the press, or even politicians themselves. Increasingly, the book argues, interest groups are among the most pervasive, powerful, and influential forces in American politics. This book studies the growing sway of interest groups on the course of public policy debates. Examining four cases–the Clinton Health Security Act, the Contract with America, telecommunications reform, and the battle over Medicare–the authors show how through ads, polls, research studies, and stealth campaigns, well-financed interests are able to define problems and dictate the course of political action. In many respects, this new group activism deeply affects–and may even threaten–the viability of representative government.

內容簡介
“偉大之書系列”是Discovery頻道近年來歷史人文類的佳作.片中以文學名著為經,作者生平為緯,交錯穿插介紹,並以輕鬆詼諧的手法,深入這些史上不朽巨著的精髓.本集節目將帶領觀眾重新閱讀格列佛遊記,並一窺原著作者強納森斯威夫特奇特卻矛盾的一生.在西方文`學領域裏,”格列佛遊記”的地位舉足輕重,不僅因為它可由兒童文學或旅遊雜記等多種角度來審視閱讀.最重要的是,它是一本諷刺的文學經典,而後者才是作者創作此書的原意.強納森斯威夫特利用四個想像空間:小人國.巨人國.飛鳥與慧駰島,來反諷當時的腐化政治,奢靡的社會與人們扭曲的心靈,同時也藉由此書,對人類本質提出身層疑問.本片不僅以生動活潑的多樣化角度來介紹此書,亦以戲劇手法表現天才作家的傳奇且矛盾的一生,並加入多位文學評論家的觀點,帶領觀眾一起深入探討.

內容簡介
濕地指的是陸與水交接的地帶,這個地帶或許出現在高山溪流,湖泊,埤塘,水田,鹽田,河口沼澤,或沿岸沙洲,潟湖,潮間帶灘地或鹽澤.就海拔高度來看,有高山型或海岸型;就鹽分來看,就有淡水型濕地或鹹水型濕地,當然亦有半淡鹹水型濕地.濕地能量來自能行光合作用的水生植物,細菌,或者來自沈積的有機質碎屑.從有水就有生命的觀點,濕地共用的特徵是有水生生物生長.濕地並不一定永久為水所覆蓋,可能暫時乾涸或冰凍,此時生命或者以種子,孢子,耐受卵的型式或遷移到深水域的方式來渡過這嚴酷的季節,待豐水期或水溫回暖,才又再度欣欣向榮…
