关于TTC课程

The Teaching Company 是一家制造全美国顶级教授演讲录音及录影的公司。这些教授在华盛顿特区外的一家特别的工作室录制这些课程，然后课程被转制成磁带、CD、DVD、MPEG-4、MP3等格式出售。http://www.thegreatcourses.com/greatcourses.aspx

The Teaching Company公司由Thomas M. Rollins先生创建于 1990 年，Thomas M. Rollins先生是美国前参议院委员会劳工及人力资源首席顾问，毕业于哈佛大学法学院。他在学习过程中注意到，使用录像带学习很有效率。于是他开始尝试发起一个政府项目，为公众制作磁带，但是由于法律的限制而无法实践。当他离任时，他抱着这个想法而开始搜寻顶级教授来制作课程，并且销售给公众。

截至2007年，这家公司共提供了超过260门课程，内容总时长达3000小时，跨越9门不同学科，分别是：商业学和经济学、艺术和音乐、古代史和中世纪史、近代史、文学和英语、哲学和思想史、宗教、科学和数学以及社会科学。

课程的目标是提供成人教育和终身教育，大学本科非专业的典型知识的教育；不仅如此，他还有一系列为高中生提供的课程。每一门课程都包括一些印有大纲、推荐书目、教授简介以及思考问题的补充小册子。此外，课程还提供全文的文本。

课程有多种不同的载体。起初，仅有磁带或是VHS录像带。后来，逐渐出现了CD及DVD版本，而现在也能下载到MP3版本。

2006年10月2日，这家公司被一家私募股权投资公司Brentwood Associates收购。



关于本课

China—the world's oldest continuous civilization—has undergone an astonishing transformation in a brief span of recent history. Since the collapse of its once-glorious empire in 1911, China has seen decades of epic turmoil and upheavals, emerging in the new century as both an authoritarian megastate and an economic powerhouse, poised to become an imposing global force.

By current estimates, the People's Republic is set to outpace the United States economically in the coming decades and to rival or surpass it militarily, making China the richest, most powerful nation on earth.

How did this happen? How can we account for China's momentous—and almost wholly unanticipated—global rise? And what does it mean, for us in the West and for humanity's future?

Speaking to these vital and fascinating questions, The Fall and Rise of China, taught by China expert and Professor Richard Baum of the University of California, Los Angeles, brings to vivid life the human struggles, the titanic political upheavals, and the spectacular speed of China's modern rebirth. Offering multilevel insight into one of the most astounding real-life dramas of modern history, The Fall and Rise of China weaves together the richly diverse developments and sociopolitical currents that created the China we now see in the headlines.

As we enter what some are already calling the "Chinese century," the role of China is deeply fundamental to our reading of the direction of world civilization and history. In 48 penetrating lectures, The Fall and Rise of China takes you to the heart of the events behind China's new global presence, leaving you with a clear view of both the story itself and its critical implications for our world.
