失智症大地》、《彩虹氣球-失智症天空》、《忘川流域-失智症船歌》、《老年學導論》等作者白明奇醫師最新作品忙碌緊湊的門診診療過程中，只要稍微留神、多問幾句，常常可以引出許多故事。故事背後不僅是大腦受到疾病影響所造成的症狀，更改變人與人之間微妙的互動。仔細推敲前因後果，似乎有跡可循，絕非空穴來風，因此具有人文精神。有時，連情節多樣的病人大量湧入，連坐在診間裡看診的我都會受到感動，內心激盪，久久不能自已。直到20世紀初，不少傳染病都被視為不治之症，許多名人因肺結核喪命，如銀河鐵道作者宮澤賢治 (1893-1933)、音樂神童莫札特 (Amadeus Mozart, 1756-1791)、畫家莫迪里亞尼 (Amedeo Modigliani, 1884-1920)；輕者則被建議到海外養病，如金銀島的作者史蒂文生 (Robert Stevenson)；重者，生命可能暫停若干年，如川端康成，紅樓夢裡的林黛玉也是結核病的病人。若是從今天的角度來看，當時面對重症的醫者只能用盡辦法來撫慰病人的內心，對於殘酷的逐步惡化的病情，束手無策，當時醫學人文精神 (Medical Humanity) 因而受到重視，極為盛行。失智症，尤其是退化性失智症，我稱之為惡性失智症，是很可怕的。過去的文章常用「延長喪親的凌遲」來形容，或是「明明人就在那裡，靈魂卻不見了」，終日面對被放逐到沒有記憶的國度的親人，家屬究竟要如何自處？對於目前無法根治的退化性失智症，只能靠遠離危險因子、或是疾病修飾藥物來延緩退化的速度，而終究難逃惡化的命運，許多人卻不知道這個殘酷的事實。這樣說來，退化性失智症就像是從前的結核病，故事不絕，也因此以描述失智症的發展與發病前後變化的書籍一本一本出版，從照顧者、家人、配偶的角度來寫作，更是感人。話說回來，難道我們只能靠憐憫悲傷來面對退化性失智症嗎？當然不是。 這時，轉換想法，創造生活的意義就顯得重要了。同時，透過書籍、小說、電影或許是一個好方法，讓讀者觀眾自己去體會，冷暖只有當事人知道。這本書將用特別的方法來介紹失智症，也期待能為越來越多有認知功能障礙的人們帶來生活的意義。]]> <![CDATA[史上最強四季蔬菜營養完整圖鑑 : 從選購、保存、營養成分到料理, 各體質絕配的蔬菜對症速查! = useful book of food]]>

　　這部回憶錄的獨特之處不僅在於呈現了克氏鮮為人知的一面，更是由於作者本身的特質。書中的描述之所以令人信服，是基於作者的那份誠實到幾乎令人難過的坦率…… 　　──彼得·海／本書編者   　　有別於宣講時疾呼世人覺醒的克氏風範，本書作者西德尼·菲爾德所刻劃的克里希那穆提，有著出人意表的生動與童趣。西德尼不僅從凡人視角看見這位精神導師的日常真性情──他的悶悶不樂、焦躁不安；他愛開快車、講究品味衣著……，也吸引克氏思想愛好者領略他對自然萬象、生死輪轉的見解，並且超越了對修行的刻板想像。   　　西德尼出身於哥斯大黎加神智學會的創會元老家族，與克里希那穆提相識於1920年代的好萊塢。當時克氏正接受栽培準備成為全人類的靈性導師，以及東方世界星社的領袖。但是，西德尼與克氏雙方都無意形成門徒與導師的關係，他們相惜相知、彼此敬重，這段獨特的友誼延續了一生。 　 　　這本回憶錄記載著他們從青春到晚年的生命點滴，一同經歷了親友的悲歡離合和世局無常，未能相聚時則往返書簡，字句流露深厚而純粹的情感。作為知己，西德尼見證了克氏一生是如何返歸己心、洞識實相、證入解脫的。   　　我們每個人都必須成為音樂家……透過內心之歌重塑自己，這意味著你得清空心靈，從被植入的各種束縛中徹底解脫出來。──克里希那穆提   　　【特別收錄：與克氏對話錄、珍藏相片集。】 本書特色   　　☆ 二十世紀最卓越的性靈大師克里希那穆提，知心友人筆下的真情回憶錄。 　　☆ 以常人視角揭示克氏對身心修行的日常實踐，領受大師獨特魅力。 　　☆ 好萊塢黃金年代相關人物與克氏思想的交會。 　　☆ 神智學會、東方世界星社、密契主義者相關軼事。   　　￭ 身心靈導師胡因夢精選書籍 ￭]]> <![CDATA[資料同理心 : 飛奔的資料科學如何變成「易讀好用」的人類新資源?]]> 它不僅改變了我們知道什麼，也改變了我們知道的方式大數據資料是人類最重要的新資源。它不僅對企業很重要，對每個人也很重要。這種新資源能讓我們對世界的方方面面、這個星球和整個宇宙產生新的認知。和歷史上的其他技術革命一樣，我們對大量資料的結果了解得越多，就越了解我們自己、我們的世界以及如何改變它。然而，這種寶貴的新資源目前還沒有被充分利用、甚至被濫用或完全被忽視。當前資料科學及延伸的數據分析正蓬勃發展，但有個大問題是我們反而忘記了人性──「構成資料的人」、「使用資料的人」以及「期望了解結果的人」三者之間經常存在鴻溝。在資料數據化的世界中，同理心是一種強大的聯絡工具，將我們對資料的理解從純粹的技術實踐提升到可以為人類做出持久和重要貢獻的東西。本書源於兩位作者過去10年從事資料數據工作的經驗，以及資料同理心的講授和研究，內容包含他們與數百位跨領域資料科學、數據工程與數據哲學實作者合作得到的見解。本書將呈現良好和不良的資料使用與設計行為示例，也提供我們思考和處理資料的新方法及練習。資料非常重要、非常有價值，而我們卻常亂搞一通你是否發現以下類似情境：★ 深諳資料科學及其技術的人，「不太在乎其他部門的人」（因為他們不懂）★ 經理人會希望技術部門人員「總之就是按照吩咐去做」★ 每天都要處理龐雜形式的資料，卻懷疑海量資料帶來的「新工作」是否帶來進步與效率？★ 恨透了組織內部某種檔案格式，因為它既醜又難用。──當科技愈聰明，算力愈強，資料也就更可能被誤用與浪費。資料科學家+人工智慧實作者 聯手解決當世「資料不適症」資料是人類最重要的新資源，它能為我們人生的所有面向帶來洞見──甚至關乎地球與宇宙。資料不僅改變了我們的知識，也改變了我們獲取知識的方式。如同過去多次科技革命那般，資料的價值能精進我們作為人類的存在，且程度可能更勝以往。本書能幫助你瞭解如何正確運用資料、告訴你資料為什麼重要、以及現在企業與政府如何使用資料。本書以極具說服力的方式說明了同理心何以是理解資料的關鍵。提升對資料的理解能為你的事業、人生、甚至整個世界帶來持久而重要的貢獻。]]>

　　「台海危機從來不是新聞標題裡的概念，而是壓在每個台灣人胸口的壓力──那種已經活在戰爭的陰影中，卻逃避去談，因為，面對大國的壓制與侵略，我們是如此無奈與無力。談了又能如何呢？台灣人只想保有現在的生活方式不要被改變，這個願望看似卑微，卻也無限遠大，在國際局勢如此巨變的狀況下，這個小小的東亞島嶼，能不能承載對自由的向望，航向未來？」──《零日攻擊》製片人、編劇統籌鄭心媚   　　俄烏戰爭衝擊、美中對峙，台海戰爭一觸即發，兩強夾縫中第一線的台灣，成為兵家必爭之地。這個位於東亞太平洋上的小島，與中國關係千絲萬縷；一直以來也仰賴美國提供軍事協助，以「自由中國」的名義，從冷戰時期一路與中共對抗到現在。   　　在兩強對決及中共對台灣發動的新形態戰爭──混合戰中，台灣該如何走出屬於自己的一條路？處在這裡各懷心計的人們，又如何面對即將爆發的戰爭威脅；屈服於壓迫與名利的誘惑？還是惶惶不安地逃離家園？抑或在危難中求得自身最大利益？台灣人如何面對和抵擋即將面臨的戰爭脅迫？如何在危機中掙扎求生與抉擇？這是《零日攻擊》深入探討的人性議題。   　　《零日攻擊》以廣受歡迎的《黑鏡》詩選劇集模式，呈現各個創作者不同的觀點與風格，卻具有內容上的一致性，講述同一主題──台灣島內經濟、政治、宗教、媒體、網路等議題，及各個不同面向的紅色滲透景況，可謂擁有全面的觀點。   　　《零日攻擊》是台灣首部對國際發聲，集結台灣十名金獎導演，講述台灣內部面對台海戰爭危機景況的劇集。故事在戰爭倒數間進行，每集間的主配角互相勾串，直到最後一集尾聲，所有角色的逃亡與醒悟，串起這個詩選劇集，讓每段故事看似各自表述的同時，又擁有影集類型的鉤子與串連並前後呼應。涵蓋人文關懷與國際局勢觀察、囊括本土優秀團隊的《零日攻擊》，受到國內熱烈的討論及國際媒體的熱切關注。   　　「戰爭早就已經開始了」，既是《零日攻擊》的台詞，也是創作核心。《零日攻擊》原創劇本書收錄製作思考、專家導讀和十集定稿劇本，在台海局勢緊張、全球高度關注台灣的壯況下，極具參考價值。   　　《零日攻擊》原創劇本書收錄製作思考、專家導讀和十集定稿劇本，在台海局勢緊張、全球高度關注台灣的狀況下，極具參考價值。   　　「這部劇不是預言，而是一面鏡子。它映照的不是戰爭，而是我們在危機逼近時，會變成什麼樣的人──會恐懼、會動搖，但也可能，會用力去守住心底最後的一塊土地。」   推薦人   　　王　師｜牽猴子共同創辦人 　　王小棣｜導演 　　矢板明夫｜印太戰略智庫執行長 　　朱福銘｜黑熊學院執行長 　　朱詩倩｜金鐘導演 　　汪　浩｜國際政經專家 　　林穎佑｜淡江大學國際事務與戰略研究所副教授

　　「《零日攻擊》是一段引人入勝的旅程，帶你探索中國共產黨如何利用人們的恐懼和欲望來發動認知戰。中共在認知戰上越成功，台灣保持民主與自由的可能性就越低。陽光是最好的消毒劑，《零日攻擊》的製作團隊和演員們將一道強烈的光束投射到北京在台灣及其他地方所進行的隱密、犯罪與腐化的活動上。」──博明（Matt Pottinger），前美國副國家安全顧問、《沸騰的護城河：保衛台灣的緊迫行動》編者]]>

美國國家圖書獎決選《她的身體與其它派對》作者回憶錄這是一本赤裸的、毫無遮掩的、革命性的回憶錄，作者馬查多以她精巧又殊別的筆法與結構安排，爬梳自己一段痛苦的受虐酷兒親密關係始末，並且穿插自傳式的敘事，回望自己虔誠宗教的青春期，也透過散文筆法延伸至酷兒關係中暴力的歷史、現實與再現，更嘗試瓦解女同志戀情被浪漫化為安全烏托邦的刻板印象。本書的每一章節篇幅皆偏短，剛剛好講述一段隨時間慢慢推進，而導致兩人關係氛圍悄然發生變化的過程。譬如「夢中之屋作為成長小說」、「夢中之屋作為庫存清單」、「夢中之屋作為似曾相識」⋯⋯等等，從三個女人的相識、相知、相戀，到最後只剩兩人的相愛，之後相殺，再到最後戲劇性的結局：「夢中之屋作為劇情逆轉」。而所謂的「夢中之屋」，是、也不是一幢真正的房子，它有具體的格局、綠色的門、庭院，又有時候它是指涉一段難以回首、被歷史掩蓋——因為沒人想記錄、沒人想聽——的酷兒家暴記憶。而馬查多筆下的這種家暴，沒有瘀青、沒有黑眼圈，它是極為幽微的、煤氣燈式的、讓你時時刻刻膽戰心驚，卻又不真的發生什麼的。當它悄悄地蔓延在那棟夢中的屋子中，馬查多知道她只剩下寫下來一途，才能讓人理解為什麼那迷人女人甜甜的一笑，曾讓自己脊背發涼。馬查多一貫的機智、幽默與勇於探問的精神，讓這段沉重的敘述不至於壓抑，最終呈現出這一本震撼又引人入勝的作品，且徹徹底底顛覆了我們對回憶錄形式與功能的想像。國外媒體一致推薦⇨「一場對創傷、生存與語言的驚人省思。」——《時代雜誌》，2019年最佳圖書⇨「將房子與女人合而為一——看著她經歷自己身體如同一棟鬧鬼的房子，一處充滿突如其來、難以解釋恐懼的所在——你便正在閱讀才華橫溢的卡門・瑪麗亞・馬查多。」——《紐約時報》⇨「令人歎為觀止的創意⋯⋯馬查多的寫作總是帶著熱度與精確掌控語調的能力，仿佛是有感知的。但讓《夢中之屋》成為真正『有自我意識的鬼屋』的原因，在於它似乎正一邊書寫，一邊對自身進行即時的批判⋯⋯在這本書以及她的短篇故事中，馬查多讓當代世界服從夢境邏輯。」——《紐約客》⇨「就像她引用的民間故事所揭示的，家暴的循環是一種有毒的魔咒，受害者會深陷其中。馬查多的回憶錄是一種有力的反咒。」——《經濟學人》⇨「馬查多以機智與幾近病態的事後剖析，把這段經歷編織成一部極具推進力的回憶錄，也是一場對此文類的漫遊式調查。」——《紐約時報書評》⇨「馬查多拋棄了傳統回憶錄的框架，轉而使用短小而具思辨性的章節⋯⋯結果令人無法自拔，有時甚至令人憤怒，是必讀之作。」——《BuzzFeed》]]>

their world, The Garden. Some stories will tell you that fairies are sweet, beautiful, and kind creatures who fly around with sparkly wands. But they are WRONG! Fairies are horrible, rude back stabbers who are constantly at war with each other. (They're not even magical, for crying out loud!) And then there's Pip, a clueless tree fairy who couldn't give two hoots about power and would rather just have a party.

Get ready for the sequel to the New York Times bestselling hilarious fantasy adventure in the new series from the author of the Story Thieves. You were warned to stay away from THE DRAGON'S APPRENTICE. It was forbidden for a good reason, as it told the story of a village girl named Ciara finding her own book of magic and learning spells from a dragon of all things. These are dangerous ideas, and no one should be allowed to see them. Fortunately, Ciara's story didn't end there, or she might have doomed us all. No, thankfully, a true hero to the Draconic Empire, Prince Aiden, has come to Ciara's village to stop her and her teacher, Scorch the dragon. The prince, like his father the Emperor, is a powerful magic-user. And Aiden uses his power to keep us safe from strange, forbidden books. If anyone can stop Ciara from teaching others magic and therefore summoning the horrible Revenants that once defeated the Dragon Mage herself, it's the Empire's beloved prince. Let's just hope that Ciara can't spread her knowledge of magic before the prince can find her and put an end to her evil deeds once and for all...]]> <![CDATA[The sea of monsters]]> ]]> <![CDATA[Under attack]]> ]]> <![CDATA[The treasure of Ocean Parkway]]> Two podcasting sleuths help their neighbor solve a cold case--one that's literally etched into the walls of their Brooklyn apartment building--in this cozy, twisty-turny middle grade whodunnit from the author of The Queen of Ocean Parkway.

在漆黑的虛空中眨著眼，我確定是未曾經驗的安靜喚醒了我。
　　當世界以數位頻率快速閃爍，寂靜就像那台需要手動調整參數的老相機，提醒著使用者放慢腳步，細細端詳眼前每道光影、每場情緒。等待，是它的語言；沉澱，是它的節奏。如同暗房裡的顯影過程，唯有耐心，才能讓那些原本被匆忙掩蓋的細節，一一浮現。

　　《生於寂靜》正是這樣一台老相機，擎起散文，記錄旅途、感情、記憶與身體，慢慢捕捉，靜靜顯影。在疫情、舊愛與日常的縫隙中，那些習以為常的風景——飯桌邊的沉默、走廊擦身而過的眼神、家人的心照不宣，正安靜等待著被凝視，而每一次的靜默，都是重新對焦的機會。
　
　　陳冠良：「寂靜是我的樹洞。我常常把自己放進其間，摒隔嘈嚷，安頓情緒，讀書寫字，從不斷在吸納與吐露的字裡行間所誕生的沉靜中，觀照自己內心軌跡——藉此拉展一段不會遠到模糊、近到失焦，剛剛好的距離，慢悠悠細凝身邊迎面而來又擦肩而去的心事波濤，世事囂囂。」

好評推薦

　　李時雍（作家）：讀著冠良所聆聽記寫屬城市的聲音，總令我想起音樂家最後展覽的標題「觀音·聽時」，觀看聲音，聽見時間。他重以敘事疊加的聲響，最後成為電影般的靜默，成了記憶原即非同步的時間性。

　　蔣亞妮（作家）：讀這本書時，總是想著安靜的諸多好處，無聲並不是安靜的全部，安靜更似一種活著的方案、一種風暴後才能體解的心境。在最寂靜的生活中，時光或許也會被這樣的褶襉收納些許，讓一個人寫出更遠更長的字。

Su-Jin's "halmoni" (grandmother in Korean) is excited for the Korean holiday of Chuseok. She is watching the moon grow larger each night. Celebrated on the day of the Harvest Moon, Chuseok is a time when her family will gather, give thanks, and share in a very special feast.

When Woody Rawls read The Call of the Wild, a classic novel about a stolen mistreated dog and a kindly man, his life was forever changed.

From then on, Woody was determined to learn to write and become a teller of tales. Woody didn't care that he couldn't afford pen and paper. He would use a stick in the sand if he had to. Woody trusted his heart and used his imagination to create his stories, which he shared with Rowdy, his trusty hound. Woody never stopped writing even when it was hard to and when life got in the way. He went on to write several novels and publish two books for children- including the timeless classic Where the Red Fern Grows.

Award-winning creators Sandra Neil Wallace and Evan Turk team up for a richly illustrated picture book biography for kids ages 7-10 who love arts and crafts. As a new immigrant to America, Marie Procai felt homesick and alone--she missed her homeland, Ukraine. She took comfort in the ancient Ukrainian art of making pysanky, intricately decorated eggs for Easter, an art she'd learned from her grandmother and brought with her to America. Cradling the pysanka in her hands felt like holding a piece of her homeland and giving her Baba a hug. Making pysanky made Marie feel a little more hopeful when the Russia's Red Army invaded Ukraine and forbade anyone from speaking Ukrainian or practicing their traditions, pysanky included. It sustained her spirit when her son was off fighting in World War II, and again when she welcomed Ukrainian refugees into her home after the war. A hardworking entrepreneur, Marie founded the Ukrainian Gift Shop in Minneapolis to keep Ukrainian culture alive in America and share it with everyone. The legend goes that as long as pysanky are decorated, there will be good in the world. Ukrainian-heritage author Sandra Neil Wallace and award-winning illustrator Evan Turk share this hopeful story of the woman who fought to preserve an essential part of Ukrainian culture.]]> <![CDATA[Mary Oliver : holding on to wonder]]> This lyrical picture book biography of beloved American poet Mary Oliver shows young readers ages 7 - 10 how her love of nature and sense of wonder inspired her art.
