隐士是中国历史上一个非常独特的文化现象。在那为数众多的历代隐士群体中，纵然也有不少佛、道教的信徒，但他们却主要不是出于宗教信仰而隐居的。他们的隐居，主要是为了实现自我，按自己喜欢的生活方式过自己的生活。他们的隐居，开始也许是出于一种政治态度和政治选择，逐渐就转化、发展成一种生活方式和人生价值追求，并最终趋向一种审美境界和文化追求。在这个过程中，隐士们以自己的种种价值认定、人生实践和文化创造极大地影响了中国的历史文化传统。《适性任情的审美人生：隐逸文化与休闲》对中国古代隐逸文化做了认真地梳理、耙块，并探讨了中国隐逸文化的理想与价值追求、精神。

In 1921, a young Albert Einstein traveled to America to give four lectures at Princeton University, paving the way for a more complete acceptance of his theory of general relativity. These lectures are published together as The Meaning of Relativity, and were revised with each new edition until Einstein's death. Despite Einstein's profession that he thought without using words, his examples and de*ions of the relativistic world he perceived are clear and easy to follow. Unfortunately for nontechnical readers, his presentation requires deep diversions into mathematics often enough to break up the flow of his narrative, and they may find this rough terrain. But for the mathematically sophisticated or the devoted scientific historian, these lectures are profoundly illuminating--Einstein's bright, quiet genius shines through in the simplicity and economy of his writing. Two appendices follow the lectures: the first covers advances and experimental verifications after 1921; the second, "Relativistic Theory of the
