A “deeply stimulating and disarmingly accessible” (Robert Sapolsky, author of Determined) journey into the inner workings of human and artificial minds

When we are trying to solve a problem, what happens? We find ourselves weighing arguments, or relying on intuition, then reaching a conscious decision about what to do. What is going on behind the scenes?

In The Emergent Mind, Gaurav Suri and Jay McClelland show that our experience is the tip of an iceberg of brain activity that can be captured in an artificial neural network. Such networks—initially developed as models of ourselves—have become the engines of artificial neural intelligence. Suri and McClelland aren’t reducing mankind to mere machines. Rather, they are showing how a data-driven neural network can create thoughts, emotions, and ideas—a mind—whether in humans or computers.

The Emergent Mind provides a fascinating account of how we reach decisions, why we change our minds, and how we are affected by context and experience. Ultimately, the book gives a new answer to one of our oldest questions: Not just how do minds work, but what does it mean to be a mind at all?

全球頂尖學者、史丹佛大學心理學教授 卡蘿．杜維克博士 經典巨作
創下AMAZON.COM暢銷書排行榜最長紀錄
TED撼動人心精彩演說　點閱破500萬人次
比爾‧蓋茲（Bill Gates）年度推薦成功心理學書籍

「基因影響我們的聰明才智與天賦，但影響一個人成功與否的特質，卻並非在出生時就固定。心態，才是影響個人學習、成長、人際關係、終身成就、人生道路的最重要關鍵。」

人為何會有差異？
天賦異稟不是一種福賜，而是一場災難？
在學校或職場努力證明自己，有什麼不對嗎？
從小讚美孩子、培養優越感，可能使他們的發展受限？

本書作者卡蘿‧杜維克博士為史丹佛大學心理學教授、美國人文與科學院院士，在性格、社會心理學及發展心理學等領域，是全球最頂尖的研究學者之一。

你可能不知道，我們從小被培養的一些「正確」觀念，很可能是妨礙自己成長、真正發揮潛能的最大阻力。

杜維克博士經過長年對不同群體的研究，發現人有兩種心態：「定型心態」和「成長心態」。擁有「定型心態」的人，總是急於追求證明自我，將所有成果二分為成功或失敗。擁有「成長心態」的人，則是樂觀看待自己的所有特質，將個人的基本素質視為起點，可以藉由努力、累積經驗和他人的幫助而改變、成長。

我們對自己或他人的簡單信念，實際上操縱了人生的很大部分，深切影響了許多事情的結果。閱讀本書，你將會突然了解，那些在商業、科學、藝術、運動等各領域的傑出人士，為何表現卓越、異於常人，以及那些原本能夠、但最後未能有傑出表現的人敗北的原因。

本書為應用心理學的經典暢銷著作，也是第一本探討人類心態的專著，在全球熱銷了180萬冊，改變世界人士對於成功與成功之道的理解。它能幫助你克服在學習、工作、教育／教養、人際／兩性關係上常見的自我囿限，打開你的成長心態，讓你更了解另一半、老闆、同事、親友、孩子，懂得真正釋放自己和他人的潛能。

Other Rivers: A Chinese Education

Peter Hessler

check resources on the same subject in CityUHK LibraryFind

An intimate and revelatory account of two generations of students in China’s heartland, by an author who has observed the country’s tumultuous changes over the past quarter century

More than two decades after teaching English during the early part of China’s economic boom, an experience chronicled in his book River Town, Peter Hessler returned to Sichuan Province to instruct students from the next generation. At the same time, Hessler and his wife enrolled their twin daughters in a local state-run elementary school, where they were the only Westerners. Over the years, Hessler had kept in close contact with many of the people he had taught in the 1990s. By reconnecting with these individuals—members of China’s “Reform generation,” now in their forties—while teaching current undergrads, Hessler gained a unique perspective on China’s incredible transformation.

In 1996, when Hessler arrived in China, almost all of the people in his classroom were first-generation college students. They typically came from large rural families, and their parents, subsistence farmers, could offer little guidance as their children entered a brand-new world. By 2019, when Hessler arrived at Sichuan University, he found a very different China, as well as a new kind of student—an only child whose schooling was the object of intense focus from a much more ambitious cohort of parents. At Sichuan University, many young people had a sense of irony about the regime but mostly navigated its restrictions with equanimity, embracing the opportunities of China’s rise. But the pressures of extreme competition at scale can be grueling, even for much younger children—including Hessler’s own daughters, who gave him an intimate view into the experience at their local school.

In Peter Hessler’s hands, China’s education system is the perfect vehicle for examining the country’s past, present, and future, and what we can learn from it, for good and ill. At a time when anti-Chinese rhetoric in America has grown blunt and ugly, Other Rivers is a tremendous, essential gift, a work of enormous empathy that rejects cheap stereotypes and shows us China from the inside out and the bottom up. As both a window onto China and a mirror onto America, Other Rivers is a classic from a master of the form.

讓我們脆弱的，也讓我們偉大，
在脆弱的時刻，我們找到自己的力量！

關於《脆弱的力量》：
★榮獲金石堂年度「十大影響力好書」
★誠品、博客來、金石堂暢銷榜
★TED演講全球點閱率前五大，超過千萬人次觀看
★歐普拉、CNN、ABC、NBC、美國公共電視網、華盛頓郵報、紐約時報指定專訪

每天問自己三個問題：
1.生涯遭逢瓶頸、創新可能失敗，令你不敢冒險突破舒適圈嗎？
2.社會瀰漫批判，教育缺乏對話，人際充滿比較，讓你更加冷漠自保嗎？
3.明知全心投入不保證會有所回報，所以你從不給自己一次機會嗎？

成功者勇於追求不確定的冒險與夢想，內心必定承受不為人知的不安與脆弱。
這本書點醒我們：「有掙扎，才有希望；讓我們脆弱的，也讓我們偉大！」
在脆弱的時刻，我們找到自己的力量！

《脆弱的力量》是世界知名情感與同理心專家布芮尼．布朗博士的全球暢銷著作。本書強調「脆弱」是人的本質，是所有創造力和情感的核心，也是人性最強大的力量。展現脆弱真實的一面，真誠面對自己很害怕的部分，反而一再提升我們人際、情感、求學、職場和教養的能量。

「脆弱」，是面對冒險和不確定時，產生的深刻恐懼和不安全感。當我們因為害怕脆弱、害怕丟臉、害怕失敗而退縮，我們也犧牲自信參與世界的機會，同時放棄自己得天獨厚的才能。

「脆弱」不是軟弱，不是輸的感覺，更不是毫無保留──沒有走過脆弱，不可能獲得真正的勇敢。當我們願意在生命每個當下直視脆弱，同時也撬開了自信、喜樂、創造力與一切可能性。

如果我們真的想要展現脆弱，別讓自己成為最大的批評者。站出去，讓大家都看見真正的你！《脆弱的力量》將讓你以嶄新的視野看待生命，幫助你每一天克服瓶頸，自我不再受限。

“Delicious…I defy you to stop reading The Christmas Guest once you begin.” — New York Times Book Review

New York Times bestselling author Peter Swanson pens a spectacularly spine-chilling novella in which an American art student in London is invited to join a classmate for the holidays at Starvewood Hall, her family’s Cotswold manor house. But behind the holly and pine boughs, secrets are about to unravel, revealing this seemingly charming English village’s grim history.

Ashley Smith, an American art student in London for her junior year, was planning on spending Christmas alone, but a last-minute invitation from fellow student Emma Chapman brings her to Starvewood Hall, country residence of the Chapman family. The Cotswold manor house, festooned in pine boughs and crammed with guests for Christmas week, is a dream come true for Ashley. She is mesmerized by the cozy, firelit house, the large family, and the charming village of Clevemoor, but also by Adam Chapman, Emma’s aloof and handsome brother.

But Adam is being investigated by the local police over the recent brutal slaying of a girl from the village, and there is a mysterious stranger who haunts the woodland path between Starvewood Hall and the local pub. Ashley begins to wonder what kind of story she is actually inhabiting. Is she in a grand romance? A gothic tale? Or has she wandered into something far more sinister and terrifying than she’d ever imagined?

Over thirty years later the events of that horrific week are revisited, along with a diary from that time. What began in a small English village in 1989 reaches its ghostly conclusion in modern-day New York, many Christmas seasons later.

• A cozy holiday read
• Perfect for fans of winter mysteries
• A delightful Christmas gift

Shocks, Crises, and False Alarms: How to Assess True Macroeconomic Risk

Financial Times Best Books of 2024: Economics — Martin Wolf

"...an invaluable framework to better understanding growth, the financial sector, and the key trends shaping the global economy" — Financial Times, Tej Parikh

The shocks and crises of recent years—pandemic, recession, inflation, war—have forced executives and investors to recognize that the macroeconomy is now a risk to be actively managed. Yet unreliable forecasting, pervasive doomsaying, and whipsawing data severely hamper the task of decoding the landscape. Are disruptions transient and ephemeral—or permanent and structural? False alarms are costly traps, but so are true structural changes that go undetected.

How can leaders avoid these macro traps to make better tactical and strategic decisions?

In this perspective-shifting book, BCG Chief Economist Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak and Senior Economist Paul Swartz provide a fresh and accessible way to assess macroeconomic risk. Casting doubt on conventional model-based thinking, they demonstrate a more powerful approach to building sound macroeconomic judgment. Using incisive analysis built upon frameworks, historical context, and structural narratives—what they call "economic eclecticism"—the book empowers readers with the durable skills to assess continuously evolving risks in the real economy, the financial system, and the geopolitical arena.

Moreover, the authors' more nuanced approach reveals that the all-too-common narratives of economic collapse and decline are often false alarms themselves, while the fundamental strengths of our current "era of tightness" become visible.

With rational optimism rather than gloom, Shocks, Crises, and False Alarms speaks to the key financial and macroeconomic controversies that define our times—and provides a compass for navigating the global economy. Rather than relying on blinking dashboards or flashy headlines, leaders can and should judge macroeconomic risks for themselves.

「新九龍」，這片九龍半島北部的土地，是自1860年《北京條約》劃定界限街以來而逐漸形成的區域概念。新九龍的歷史特殊性在於其「過渡性」本質，這裏是地理上的過渡帶，也是時間上的過渡帶，更是文化上的過渡帶，這使新九龍成為解讀香港近代化進程的絕佳樣本。

本書分為四大篇章：
•「歷史沿革篇」透過地理與行政區劃演變，揭示新九龍如何從邊緣地帶逐步轉化為二十世紀香港都市擴張的前沿陣地；
•「工商發展篇」聚焦兩個具標誌性的經濟活動——深水埗織造業與花墟花卉產業；
•「社會民生篇」以宗教組織為觀察窗口，追蹤基督教與天主教在新九龍的在地化實踐；
•「文化娛樂篇」則從空間生產與休間消費角度，解讀新九龍的都市文化形塑過程。

Your Life Is Manufactured: How We Make Things, Why It Matters and How We Can Do It Better

check resources on the same subject in CityUHK LibraryFind

From an award-winning and internationally-renowned expert, a wonderfully illuminating journey through the world of manufacturing and its transformational influence on our lives – and the world around us.

We live in a manufactured world. Unless you are floating naked through space, you are right now in direct contact with multiple manufactured products. How often do we stop to think: where do the things we buy actually come from?

There exists a nearly invisible, awe-inspiring global system of manufacturing that enables virtually every aspect of our existence. The things we surround ourselves with take surprising and often byzantine journeys to reach us – be it the thousands of litres of water needed to make a single pair of jeans or the components of our smartphones travelling over six times around the world to reach us.

From mega-factory floors, engineering laboratories and seaports to distribution hubs, supermarkets and our own homes, Tim Minshall traces these journeys to reveal the hidden world of manufacturing.

Charting how this world came to be, Your Life is Manufactured reveals the seismic impact manufacturing has had on our lives and the natural world, exploring how it could offer us a path to a truly sustainable, more equitable future. In doing so, Minshall grants us the ability to make better choices for ourselves, our communities and the planet.

''This brilliant book shows that manufacturing is foundational to our lives, not only now but also if there is to be any hope for a sustainable future. I learned something new on every page.''
PROFESSOR DIANE COYLE, author of Cogs and Monsters

''Reading this book is like being given a personal tour of the world’s factories by a real-life Willy Wonka. Brimming with insight, curiosity and wit, Tim is a masterful storyteller of the manufactured world.''

“Authoritative… a tale that sits at the heart of the most significant geopolitical relationship today.”–Financial Times

“There’s probably no better account of China’s rise to economic dominance as seen through the prism of a single company.”–The Wall Street Journal

ABOUT THE BOOK

The untold story of the mysterious company that shook the world.

On the coast of southern China, an eccentric entrepreneur spent three decades steadily building an obscure telecom company into one of the world’s most powerful technological empires with hardly anyone noticing. This all changed in December 2018, when the detention of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei Technologies’ female scion, sparked an international hostage standoff, poured fuel on the US-China trade war, and suddenly thrust the mysterious company into the global spotlight.

In House of Huawei, Washington Post technology reporter Eva Dou pieces together a remarkable portrait of Huawei’s reclusive founder, Ren Zhengfei, and how he built a sprawling corporate empire—one whose rise Western policymakers have become increasingly obsessed with halting. Based on wide-ranging interviews and painstaking archival research, House of Huawei dissects the global web of power, money, influence, surveillance, bloodshed, and national glory that Huawei helped to build—and that has also ensnared it.
