这世界上存在着两种本性完全不同的权力：一种是定期由选票竞争程序授权的民主"弱权"，另一种则是由职业军队保驾护航的专制"强权"，由此将书名最终确定为《强权论》。 这里的"强权"有两层含义：一是强制，可以恃强凌弱、无法无天；二是增强，为了能仗恃这种相对强势，便不择手段增强自己手中的权力，即拼命追求大一统中央集权的独裁话语权。这样的强权高居法律之上，既可以任意制定自己所需要的"法律"，又可以随意的变通执法。即掌权者偏好暗箱操作，坚决反对"法无授权不可为"这样的硬约束，排斥司法独立；令法律沦为被强权所操弄的工具。为了确保专制强权的安全，则在生命旅 程的时空过程甚至历史长河中，既需要时常比拼实力大小，更需要竭力积攒这种实力。这样就内生形成了无休止的强权斗争需求。所以死命"折腾"甚至因此而导致周期性的改朝换代游戏，乃是强权专制必然的逻辑结果。

Vida y aventuras de Armin Vambéry relata las apasionantes experiencias del renombrado lingüista húngaro Armin Vambéry durante su inolvidable viaje por Asia central a mediados del siglo XIX. A través de las páginas de este cautivador relato, el lector es transportado a una época única, cuando Vambéry emprendió un viaje audaz y temerario por las vastas tierras que abarcan desde Anatolia hasta las estepas de Asia central.El libro comienza con su infancia en una familia judía y pobre en Eslovaquia y su educación autodidacta en lenguas extranjeras. Luego nos cuenta su viaje a Estambul, donde se convirtió en tutor de lenguas europeas y aprendió turco otomano. Vambéry también describe su arriesgada travesía a Persia, Bujará y Samarcanda, adonde se dirigió haciéndose pasar por un peregrino derviche. A medida que avanza el relato, nos encontramos con una narrativa rica en detalles sobre encuentros con tribus nómadas, intercambios culturales y desafíos extraordinarios en territorios desconocidos.Las memorias de Vambéry no solo ofrecen una visión penetrante de la vida cotidiana en Asia central, sino que también exploran los eventos históricos y políticos que marcaron la región en esa época. A través de sus ojos, los lectores descubrirán la diversidad lingüística, las tradiciones cautivadoras y las conexiones humanas que formaron parte fundamental de su periplo.Esta edición está ilustrada con los magníficos grabados del talentoso orientalista francés Eugène Flandin, así como de otros artistas contemporáneos.

"It has been called Wonderland, America's Serengeti, the crown jewel of the National Park System, and America's best idea. But how did this faraway landscape evolve into one of the most recognizable places in the world? As the birthplace of the national park system, Yellowstone witnessed the first-ever attempt to protect wildlife, to restore endangered species, and to develop a new industry centered on nature tourism. Yellowstone remains a national icon, one of the few entities capable of bridging ideological divides in the United States. Yet the park's history is also filled with episodes of conflict and exclusion, setting precedents for Native American land dispossession, land rights disputes, and prolonged tensions between commercialism and environmental conservation. Yellowstone's legacies are both celebratory and problematic. A Place Called Yellowstone tells the comprehensive story of Yellowstone as the story of the nation itself"--
