Jonathan D. Spence was born in Surrey, England, in 1936. He was educated at Winchester College and at Cambridge University and received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1965. He is George Burton Adams Professor of HIstory at Yale, where he is also chairman of the Council on East Asian Studies and director of the Division of the Humanities.
Award-winning author Jonathan D. Spence paints a vivid picture of an obscure place and time: provincial China in the seventeenth century. Life in the northeastern county of T'an-ch'eng emerges here as an endless cycle of floods, plagues, crop failures, banditry, and heavy taxation. Against this turbulent background a tenacious tax collector, an irascible farmer, and an unhappy wife act out a poignant drama at whose climax the wife, having run away from her husband, returns to him, only to die at his hands. Magnificently evoking the China of long ago, The Death of Woman Wang also deepens our understanding of the China we know today.

評分[本文為《財經界 管理學傢》雜誌所撰。] 無論如何以平等的眼光去看待,最底層的被管理者永遠處在卑微的位置,他們的欲望和想法是管理者也許永遠無法真正把握的;而瞭解與把握它,對於一個基層的管理者來說,又是必需的。 假如你是一名環境保護主義者,或者你的專業是職業健康...
評分自古至今,從《左傳》開始,中國就有瞭記錄曆史的習慣,而這正是中華文化綿延不斷的原因。中華文化固然優異,然而和西方相比,的確少瞭很多有關個人價值的問題。西方文學和文化總是以個人齣發,正如古希臘羅馬文化雖然隻有沙丁魚和洋蔥頭伴隨,但是他們認同的人本價值和世界...
