This book focuses on the challenges facing women who seek to create innovative entrepreneurial ventures, whilst also celebrating their scientific activities and contribution to technological advancement, society and economic development as a whole. It investigates and demonstrates the innovative and inventive achievements of women in the knowledge based society. It is almost universally accepted that scientific activities and discoveries are the most important sources of productivity growth and increased material welfare. Throughout history, women have been making significant contributions to scientific discoveries, innovation and inventions. However, they do not feature prominently in the inventive and innovative literatures except as exceptional examples. Current literature on scientific activities and discoveries, various facets of R&D or the management of technological change and scientific activities tends to ignore the gender dimension. This book seeks to redress this balance and contribute to current research and debate.

「誰能告訴我做女性和做個人之間怎麼平衡？我愛極了做母親，只要把孩子的頭放在我胸口，就能使我覺得幸福。可是我也是個需要極大的內在空間的個人……女性主義者，如果你不曾體驗過生養的喜悅和痛苦，你究竟能告訴我些什麼呢？」——龍應台

……做為華人世界最有影響力的一枝筆，龍應台的文章有著不讓鬚眉的開闊豪氣，然而讀過《孩子，你慢慢來》的讀者更要歎服她的文字裡蘊含能量深情的一面。這本書是龍應台作為一個母親的真實心聲，赤裸表達她個人與母職衝突的當時心境，熱切傳達出她對生命起步最樸質的愛，對母親這個角色的重新擁抱。這本書不是對母職傳統的歌頌，它是真正熱愛生命的作家才能寫出的生活散文。

For individuals in every walk of life and in every stage of change, this compact, no-nonsense book captures both the heart--and the "how"--of successful change. Organizations are forced to change faster and more radically than ever. How are companies faring in meeting these challenges--and what can we learn from their experiences? In this powerful follow-up book--organized around Leading Change's revolutionary eight-step change process--Kotter and co-author Dan Cohen reveal the results of their research in over 100 organizations in the midst of large-scale change. What they found may surprise you. Although most organizations believe change happens by making people think differently--Kotter and Cohen say the key lies more in making them feel differently. They introduce a new dynamic--"see-feel-change"--that sparks and fuels action by showing people potent reasons for change that charge their emotions. Through true stories from real people, the authors present a play-by-play of challenges encountered, mistakes made, and lessons learned through each of the eight steps of change--and offer tips and tools readers can apply within their own organizations.

中國人, 日本人, 韓國人= Chinese, Japanese, Korean

中國、日本、韓國（當然是整個朝鮮半島）被稱為東北亞，三個國家的人有許多共同之處，也有很多地方根本不同，甚至正好相反。本書作者金文學是生長在中國的朝鮮族人，在中國上大學時學的是日本文學專業，在日本讀碩士和博士，他通中日韓三國語言，現在主要研究比較文學、比較文化和文化人類學，本書用隨筆的方式描寫和比較中日韓三國人，較有新意。
