你好,南半球!

<正>后方是故乡所在的北半球,前方是刚刚进入的南半球,北京时间2012年12月4日上午10点42分,青岛人郭川用镜头记录下了这个时刻。离开青岛的第16天,郭川驾驶青岛号终于穿过赤道,正式开始了在南半球的航行。然而,穿过地理坐标带来的兴奋并没有持续多久,郭川知道,接下来要面对的绝不是小问题。就在前一天,青岛号上的雷达系统出现故障,无法修复,郭川不得不剪断雷达     

落实“一带一路”见行动,“中国·青岛”号扬帆远航

近日,一艘因世界纪录、高速度和难以驾驭而驰名国际航海界的超级三体帆船在世界航海运动圣地法国拉特里尼泰被正式命名为“中国·青岛”号。中国航海英雄、40英尺单人不间断环球航行世界纪录创立者郭川作为新船长亲手把“中国·青岛”字号贴在这艘姿态英俊、色彩鲜艳的三体大型帆船船头。这是郭川担任船长的第三艘“青岛”号帆船。这艘超级三体帆船的命名,标志着青岛也已成为世界航海运动的著名港城之一,是中国航海家探索海洋、挑战航     

郭川彻夜搜寻船上“内鬼”

<正>截至北京时间3月11日凌晨,郭川已经驾驶青岛号帆船抵达印度尼西亚巽他海峡以南不到200海里的区域。眼看海峡就在前方,可疲软的海风却让这位已经在海上漂泊了113天的水手有些束手无策:风速5节,船速两节,气温则已飙升至35度。现在白天暴晒,船若是能走起来会有风,体感舒适一些,但是没风就很麻烦,在甲板上工作一定要涂上防晒霜以免晒伤,因为目前风很小,所以要一直调帆,整个过程     

To Market! To Market! The Changing Role of the Australian Timber Merchant, 1945–c.1965

In urban Australia, timber merchants have been the most important of all building supply dealers. In the 1940s they had close ties to sawmillers while providing timber and credit to contractors. A changing business climate forced them to adapt: sawmills and large builders began to deal directly; competition from timber 'substitutes' cut profits; above all, demand from amateur builders soared. Merchants responded by diversifying, relocating, and offering advice and credit, although more slowly than their North American counterparts because of their closer linkages to the timber trade. Targeted at amateurs, these adaptations also helped small commercial operators to remain competitive with a new breed of project builders.     

交通部出台规定:非航海工科毕业生也能当海员

一边是航海类专业毕业生供不应求,高级海员缺口越来越大;一边是工科毕业生就业率不到60%.针对这种状况,交通部日前颁布并实施<非航海工科毕业生海员培训管理规定>(简称<规定>),对现有海员培养模式进行改革,允许非航海工科毕业生经过一年海员培训后参加适任考试加入海员队伍.这既可缓解我国高级海员紧缺和工科毕业生就业难的局面,又能扩大我国海员劳务外派规模,为建设一支数量充足、结构合理、素质优良的海员队伍创造条件.     

Deal with it! The emergence and reversal of an agro-ecological crisis,Southern Sweden in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

The European Early Modern period provides examples of stagnating and even declining production and energy consumption per capita, which can be interpreted as indicators of an emerging crisis. With a focus on agriculture sector, some have suggested that the crisis was ‘conditional’ – meaning that a crisis can only be observed in some cases. This article investigates one such case, a village in Southern Sweden during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and investigates the mechanisms that mediate population growth to deteriorating living standards and environmental degradation. It provides new insights into the conditions of pre-industrial agriculture, particularly as regards the consequences of intensified demand pressure in ecologically fragile areas, and argues that human societies must be studied in tandem with their natural surroundings.     

The legacy of Ricardo Giovanni A. Caravale,Ed. Oxford: Blackwell, 1985, 325 pp.

Conclusion The existence of competing interpretations of classics such as Ricardo, is one aspect of the continuation of distinct lines of inquiry in economic theorizing. This feature of economic knowledge may be related to the fact that theorizing in economics is often characterized by the specialized use of ordinary economic language, so that each theory generally derives its primitive terms from ordinary language through what one might call semantic specialization.Awareness of the history of economic concepts is essential to the interpretation of current economic controversies. Moreover, the history of economic thought should be based upon explicit recognition that alternative patterns of semantic specialization do exist in economic analysis and that distinct lines of inquiry are derived therefrom. Explicit recognition that disagreement is possible is an essential prerequisite for dialogues between distinct lines of research.The collection edited by Caravale is an important contribution which provides impressive evidence of the fundamental role that theoretical beliefs play in matters of textual interpretation. As such, the book is essential reading both to Ricardian scholars and to economists interested in the general issue of how analytical work and intellectual history interact upon each other in the formation of economic knowledge.This review article is part of the exchange of reviews between theAtlantic Economic Journal and theRivista Internatzionale Di Scienze Economiche E Commerciali (International Review of Economics and Business).
