The wry observation attributed to George Bernard Shaw that "England and America are two countries divided by a common language" finds support in The Cambridge Guide to English Usage. Author Peters, of Macquarie University in Australia, provides evidence that their common language also divides Canada and Australia from the other countries.

The Cambridge Guide to English Usage is unique in the extent of its coverage of all the major varieties of English and in the degree to which it is based on corpus evidence, that is, on the analysis of vast collections of actual written and spoken language in each of the varieties under study. Peters' judicious use of these corpora and her evident familiarity with the extensive literature of past and contemporary language studies give The Cambridge Guide to English Usage an authority unmatched by any other usage guide.' Sidney Landau '... invaluable ...' The Good Book Guide '... an ideal reference tool for fiction and non-fiction writers.' Ink 'There are excellent entries on matters of grammar, punctuation and style. Typical of these entries are those for relative clauses and the subjunctive, the colon and quotation marks, dangling participles and the sequence of tenses. These entries are very detailed and comprehensive, and written with great clarity.' Australian Book Review 'The A-Z format makes it easy to look up questions of word use, rules of punctuation and even whether (for example) to italicise your Latin abbreviations. If you are a working writer, this is the book to keep by you to solve all your tricky questions.' The Writing Magazine 'Users of the book will benefit from the author's having drawn on an enormously wide range of recent research and investigation into current usages and historic backgrounds.' Contemporary Review '... refreshingly rational ... You'll warm to her.' Sunday Telegraph 'This is a beautifully produced book, a joy to look at and to use ... All in all, a delightful book ... once you open it and find what you are looking for, there is an almost irresistible temptation to go on to dip into something else, and then something more, and so on ... I shall recommend it to people who ask me questions about usage as well as to people who think they have all the answers.' The Canberra Editor 'The Cambridge Guide to English Usage will answer ... thousands of ... questions on usage ...' Writer's News

  美国宾夕法尼亚州两个刑法学者的合著，10大部分38章简要介绍了美国刑法的框架体系和特色。52个司法体系、40多张地图，一本书肯定说不完，感觉比较像美国刑法避祸指南，实务指导性很好，理论性一般。pdf非原排版

  晓畅易懂的小册子。上半部分对97前英国在香港留下的“地雷”做了详细的描述，作者认为这些雷为香港的“人心回归”增加了不少难度。下半部分按时间梳理97后香港政制的演进，涉及特区政府、全国人大、建制和泛民各方势力间的种种博弈。值得一提的是，作者以中联办副主任的身份补充了不少幕后谈判细节，回头看，影响历史的关键决定有其必然，却往往以令人意想不到的偶然形式发生。当然也有遗憾，比如对813决定的出台背景仍沿用基本法说辞，未做过多解释，联想之后香港社会的强烈反弹，似有避重就轻之嫌。

  艺术有什么用？从现实角度来看，艺术或许美而无用，但它能帮助人处理物质与精神的差异和冲突，不再随波逐流。创作的过程，即是对上帝创世造人行为的模仿，如是方能拥有一整个不为利禄所动的诗意世界。贫穷女孩用100条裙子挑战冷漠世情，她因此收获了更为丰盛的自我。

  2017年5月27日图宾根法语系漫画周组织的活动，邀请法国著名漫画家推介新书。右侧坐席便是Emmanuel Guibert，温和幽默，声情并茂，比旁边冷冰冰做翻译的胡子叔叔强了一百倍。法语系的活动最有趣最用心，实实在在丰富多彩，很多城里的百姓也慕名来参加。

  2017年Guibert来德国做Martha & Alan的宣传时，我是第一次听到Guibert和Alan的故事。一切都源于Guibert加州一次偶然的问路。他们的友谊持续了很多年，直到Alan过世。拥有彼此的回忆，他们都觉得很幸福。Guibert的作品表达的不只是对 Alan的思念，更呈现了战争与和平年月，微小个人的内心与命运。入木三分，画如自传，Guibert被Alan的故事吸引，因为他本仁慈善良，有一颗同理心，珍视生命中闪光的时刻。由于宣传需要，他和Alan的故事需要经常重复讲述。我问他这会不会变成机械的重复而无感，他说不会，因为每次重复，他都感觉Alan就在身旁，那些相聚的情境就会在此刻再现。

  

  漫画节选，图片里讲的是Alan幼儿园时候游戏的情景。
