For more than 50 years the passionate pursuit of color led Henri Matisse to visit some of the most enchanting villages in southern France. Travelers and art lovers will delight in this mix of art, history, biography, and travel guide that covers southern France and explores the teal skies, emerald hills, red soil, and indigo seas beloved by the artist. The journey begins in Paris and then moves to the fashionable port of St. Tropez, the fishing village of Collioure, chic and voluptuous Nice, and the rustic refuge of Vence, and ends in the luxurious resort of Cimiez. The author identifies the villas and studios where Matisse lived and worked in each location and discusses how his art responded to the palette and ambience of each local landscape.

寫給大家的西洋美術史

蔣勳 著

……「中國美術史」是對自身傳統文化的了解，「西洋美術史」則是打開一扇通向世界的窗口。借助這一扇窗口，眺望和瀏覽世界不同文化的美的觀念、材料、技法；借助這一扇窗口，省思人類共同的美的嚮往與創造。

「西洋」是一個頗籠統的名稱。「西洋」似乎已經專指歐洲，特別是西歐的範圍。

因此，這本書也以地中海區域的古代開始寫起。無論是北非的埃及、南歐的希臘、西部亞洲的波斯，乃至於義大利、西班牙、法國......，大多圍繞著地中海區域發展。

地中海四周的文化活動，雖然民族不同，政權不同，社會結構也不同，但自上古時代開始，不乏彼此的交互影響與傳承，形成一脈相成的歐美美術的來源……

Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo

Why do the poor borrow to save? Why do they miss out on free life-saving immunizations, but pay for unnecessary drugs? In Poor Economics, Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo, two practical visionaries working toward ending world poverty, answer these questions from the ground. In a book the Wall Street Journal called “marvelous, rewarding,” the authors tell how the stress of living on less than 99 cents per day encourages the poor to make questionable decisions that feed—not fight—poverty. The result is a radical rethinking of the economics of poverty that offers a ringside view of the lives of the world’s poorest, and shows that creating a world without poverty begins with understanding the daily decisions facing the poor.
