職業生涯怎樣走才值得，由你自己決定！

工作佔據你我生活中大半的時間。有人視之為生活的全部，戰戰兢兢、如履薄冰，期望甚多，因而得失心也越重；也有人抱持輕鬆的態度，把工作視為一份糊口的工具，一派得之我命的泰然自若。無論你是哪一種人，你的生活哲學多少會反映在你的職業生涯中，而對於自身的職涯規劃，總要握有幾分掌控權才會令人心安。

也許你正打算中年轉業；又或許你可能正在想辦法保住目前的位子；你可能是一個持續不斷追求進步、經驗豐富的專業人士；也可能，你誕生於嬰兒潮世代，被最近股市的下挫粉碎了原先提早退休的計畫。相信你一定會有這樣的感嘆：為何我不能操縱自己的職業生涯？《堆高你的個人資本》正是一本突破性的書，告訴你如何：擺脫你對個人和機會自我設限的念頭、掌控你的生活與職涯發展，最後著手做你必須做的，以達成你既渴望又值得擁有的生活與生涯。

所謂的焦慮可以說是－一個人意識他完美的狀況正處於危險或受到威脅時所作的反應。而緊張是程度較輕的慢性焦慮；過度焦慮是精神病的主要癥狀之一。

其實焦慮和疼痛一樣，也有好的、必要的一面，它可以時時警惕我們，使我們隨機應變。也就是說，焦慮只有過度時才會發生問題。微量的焦慮，反而可以使我們淋漓盡致的發揮潛力。

I Am John Galt: Today's Heroic Innovators Building the World and the Villainous Parasites Destroying It

Donald L. Luskin, Andrew Greta
online access from Ebook Central Academic Complete
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Inspired by Ayn Rand's characters in Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, penetrating profiles of both the innovators who move our world forward and those who seek to destroy the achievement of others

John Galt, the fictional character from Ayn Rand's bestselling novel, Atlas Shrugged, has come to embody the individualist capitalist who acts in his own enlightened self-interest, and in doing so lifts the world around him. Some of today's most successful CEOs, journalists, sports figures, actors, and thinkers have led their lives according to Galt's (i.e., Rand's) philosophy.

Now, in I Am John Galt, these inspiring stories are gathered with the keen insight and analysis of well-known market commentator Donald Luskin and business writer Andrew Greta. Filled with exclusive interviews, profiles, and analyses of leading financial, business, and artistic stars who have based their lives, and careers, on the philosophy of the perennially popular Ayn Rand, this book both inspires and enlightens. On the other side are Rand's arch villains the power-seekers, parasites, and lunatics who would destroy that which the creators and builders make. Who are today's anti-heroes, fighting the creativity of the innovators?

• Contains insightful interviews, profiles, and analyses of the individuals who have lived by a Randian code to achieve greatness for themselves and others

• Offers a probing analysis of those who seek to destroy or undo the achievements of others from academics, pundits, and government bureaucrats to fraudsters who have wreaked havoc on our world

Engaging and entertaining, I Am John Galt examines how the inspiration that is Galt thrives more than 50 years after publication of Atlas Shrugged. It will spark the interest of Ayn Rand fans everywhere, as well as those seeking a way to succeed in today's turbulent and confusing times.

What Painting Is: How to Think about Oil painting, Using the Language of Alchemy

James Elkins
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Unlike many books on painting that usually talk about art or painters, James Elkins’ compelling and original work focuses on alchemy, for like the alchemist, the painter seeks to transform and be transformed by the medium.

In What Painting Is, James Elkins communicates the experience of painting beyond the traditional vocabulary of art history. Alchemy provides a magical language to explore what it is a painter really does in her or his studio - the smells, the mess, the struggle to control the uncontrollable, the special knowledge only painters hold of how colours will mix, and how they will look.

Written from the perspective of a painter-turned-art historian, What Painting Is is like nothing you have ever read about art.

笑忘錄 (The Book of Laughter and Forgetting)

米蘭・昆德拉 (Milan Kundera) 著
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

  《笑忘錄》一九七九年在法國出版，曾榮獲法國文壇最高榮譽之一的『梅第奇大獎』，是一部關於笑與忘、關於遺忘也關於布拉格、關於布拉格也關於天使們的小說。作品以1968年蘇聯軍隊入侵捷克斯洛伐克為時代背景，描寫了捷克不同階層知識分子的多舛命運。書中不同的章節一個接著一個，如同旅行的幾個不同階段，朝向某個主旋律的內在，朝向某種獨一無二情境的內在，而旅行的意涵已迷失在廣袤無垠的內在世界，我欲辯卻已忘言。作者在故事敘述當中，探討了人生中間記憶和遺忘的哲學關系；記憶，人們希望保持或者忘卻的內容，如同附帶歡娛和諷刺的笑一樣，是交相輝映的永恆主題。是米蘭•昆德拉奠定大師地位的關鍵代表作。

在這部批評界奉為具有超現實主義風格的現代派小說傑作中，昆德拉試圖打通小說、哲學和政治議論以及自傳之間的隔膜關系，籍以用罕見的政治正確的角度，探討人生、音樂、性、哲學、文學和政治等重大話題，用筆詼諧獨到，常常使閱讀者在沉重的閱讀中邂逅絕妙的幽默趣事，以致忍俊不禁。

小說在法國出版後引起西方輿論界高度關注，獲得當年法國最佳外國文學獎大獎。但是，它也給作者帶來了意想不到的災難——當時的捷克政府以此書在法國的非法出版為由，剝奪了昆德拉的捷克國籍。不過，這也從另一方面成就了昆德拉，使其成為國際馳名的小說家。

The Trouble with Poetry and Other Poems

Billy Collins
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Playfulness, spare elegance, and wit epitomize the poetry of Billy Collins. With his distinct voice and accessible language, America’s two-term Poet Laureate has opened the door to poetry for countless people for whom it might otherwise remain closed.

Like the present book’s title, Collins’s poems are filled with mischief, humor, and irony, “Poetry speaks to all people, it is said, but here I would like to address / only those in my own time zone”–but also with quiet observation, intense wonder, and a reverence for the everyday: “The birds are in their trees, / the toast is in the toaster, / and the poets are at their windows. / They are at their windows in every section of the tangerine of earth–the Chinese poets looking up at the moon, / the American poets gazing out / at the pink and blue ribbons of sunrise.”

Through simple language, Collins shows that good poetry doesn’t have to be obscure or incomprehensible, qualities that are perhaps the real trouble with most “serious” poetry: “By now, it should go without saying / that what the oven is to the baker / and the berry-stained blouse to the drycleaner / so the window is to the poet.”

In this dazzling new collection, his first in three years, Collins explores boyhood, jazz, love, the passage of time, and, of course, writing–themes familiar to Collins’s fans but made new here. Gorgeous, funny, and deeply empathetic, Billy Collins’s poetry is a window through which we see our lives as if for the first time.

God of Comics: Osamu Tezuka and the Creation of Post-World War II Manga

online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Cartoonist Osamu Tezuka [手塚治虫] (1928-1989) is the single most important figure in Japanese post-World War II comics. During his four-decade career, Tezuka published more than 150,000 pages of comics, produced animation films, wrote essays and short fiction, and earned a Ph.D. in medicine. Along with creating the character Astro Boy (Mighty Atom in Japan), he is best known for establishing story comics as the mainstream genre in the Japanese comic book industry, creating narratives with cinematic flow and complex characters. This style influenced all subsequent Japanese output. God of Comics chronicles Tezuka's life and works, placing his creations both in the cultural climate and in the history of Japanese comics.

The book emphasizes Tezuka's use of intertextuality. His works are filled with quotations from other texts and cultural products, such as film, theater, opera, and literature. Often, these quoted texts and images bring with them a world of meanings, enriching the narrative. Tezuka also used stock characters and recurrent visual jokes as a way of creating a coherent world that encompasses all of his works.

God of Comics includes close analysis of Tezuka's lesser-known works, many of which have never been translated into English. It offers one of the first in-depth studies of Tezuka's oeuvre to be published in English.

在舊中國，豐子愷先生是最為群眾所熟悉的一位漫畫家。他的《子愷漫畫》深受讀者歡迎。他一生的作品，數量很多，僅出版的畫集就達四十餘部……

《子愷漫畫》在二十年代所以受到社會的重視，主要在於它的獨特性。這些漫畫取材新穎，表現手法別致，在當時美術園地裡別開生面，獨樹一幟，開拓了新的天地。我們知道，一九二五年前後，新文學陣營與復古派和鴛鴦蝴蝶派之間進行着激烈的論戰。以上海為例，當時除了少數報刊發表時事畫和政治畫外，美術市場主要是美人畫和形形色色低級庸俗的東西。中國人物畫多畫是古人，西洋畫則是靜物、風景和模特兒寫生，都遠離社會生活。在這樣的狀況下，突然有那麼一位畫家向人們展示出像 《花生米不滿足》、《阿寶兩只腳》、《瞻瞻的車》這樣率真而生動的兒童漫畫；像《都市之春》、《買粽子》、《紅了櫻桃綠了芭蕉》、《人散後，一鈎新月天如水》等充滿生活情趣又耐人尋味的作品，確實是令人耳目一新，感到親切……

In 1953, South Korea was rated by the U.N. as the poorest country in the world. Five decades later, it is the fifteenth largest economy. Now, South Korea's decisions on how to manage its society and its role as a modern democracy while also establishing its policy regarding reunification with North Korea will determine where the country will go in the next fifty years. The New Korea examines the political, economic, industrial, and societal aspects of Korea today. Will it continue to enjoy an economic boom through new industries while competing against low-wage countries like China and India? Will it return to its role as a stomping ground for other powers? And what should Westerners pay attention to in terms of investment and business opportunities? As South Korea enters the most critical phase of its journey, it is crucial that we understand the factors involving its decisions and evolution. The New Korea is a fascinating account of what is and may become the state of this important region.

Conceptual Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Art

David W. Galenson
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central

From Picasso's Cubism and Duchamp's readymades to Warhol's silkscreens and Smithson's earthworks, the art of the twentieth century broke completely with earlier artistic traditions. A basic change in the market for advanced art produced a heightened demand for innovation, and young conceptual innovators - from Picasso and Duchamp to Rauschenberg and Warhol to Cindy Sherman and Damien Hirst - responded not only by creating dozens of new forms of art, but also by behaving in ways that would have been incomprehensible to their predecessors. Conceptual Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Art presents the first systematic analysis of the reasons for this discontinuity. David W. Galenson, whose earlier research has changed our understanding of creativity, combines social scientific methods with qualitative analysis to produce a fundamentally new interpretation of modern art that will give readers a far deeper appreciation of the art of the past century, and of today, than is available elsewhere.

畢加索畫傳

周時奮 著
online access from SuperStar Digital Library

……凡是知道畢加索名字的人，絕大多數並不知道他的作品。這是一個太奇特的畫家。他用一生的作品來描述一個畢加索，因為他的所有作品，幾乎就是他自己坦率的自傳，他繪畫的主體始終都是他自己、他的情人、他的朋友、他的崇拜者，總之，這一切構成了畢加索的精美細膩而又傷感的個人世界。因此不了解畢加索奇特的經歷，確實無法理解他的作品。

畢加索的目光是質詢，是以一個陌生者的目光對著一個異已世界的深深質詢。在這種質詢中，有著懷疑、驚奇和深藏的驚恐，並且把這樣的驚奇與驚恐一併傳遞給我們。畢加索以他開創的立體主義繪畫聞名於世，然而，他並不僅僅是一位立體主義畫家，他始終隨著他自己的時代，從立體主義轉向新古典主義，又轉向超現實主義、表現主義，幾乎在他涉足的每一個美術流派領域裡，他都取得了輝煌的成就。

本書是一本當之無愧的名著，他極為精致地描述了集體心態，是在社會心理學領域已經寫出的著作中，最有影響者。本書還具有持久的影響力，是群體行為的研究者不可不讀的文獻。

勒龐認為，現代生活逐漸以群體的聚合為特征。在《烏合之眾》一書中，他指出，個人一旦進入群體中，他的個性使湮沒了，群體的思想佔據統治地位；而群體的行為表現為無異議、情緒化和低智商。

本書共三卷，包括群體心理；群體的意見與信念；不同群體的分類及其特點。
