職場導師鮑利斯用近40年的研究心得，告訴我們在學校永遠也學不到的求職秘訣︰求職者不是行乞者，而是挑選僱主的人；找到理想的工作，依靠的不是運氣和學歷，而是技巧和努力；利用關係網求職成功率更高；面試不是一門科學，而是一門非常感性的藝術；不要相信人力資源專家的經驗之談，那往往是一派胡言……

The Rise of the Creative Class, Revisited
Richard Florida
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
Initially published in 2002, The Rise of the Creative Class quickly achieved classic status for its identification of forces then only beginning to reshape our economy, geography, and workplace. Weaving story-telling with original research, Richard Florida identified a fundamental shift linking a host of seemingly unrelated changes in American society: the growing importance of creativity in people’s work lives and the emergence of a class of people unified by their engagement in creative work. Millions of us were beginning to work and live much as creative types like artists and scientists always had, Florida observed, and this Creative Class was determining how the workplace was organized, what companies would prosper or go bankrupt, and even which cities would thrive.
In The Rise of the Creative Class Revisited, Florida further refines his occupational, demographic, psychological, and economic profile of the Creative Class, incorporates a decade of research, and adds five new chapters covering the global effects of the Creative Class and exploring the factors that shape “quality of place” in our changing cities and suburbs.

舒衡哲女士1979－1980年曾作為首批美國留學生在北京大學中文系學習，她訪問了當時仍在世的“新青年一代的知識分子”：許德珩、俞平伯、葉聖陶、朱光潛、馮友蘭、金岳霖、張申府和梁漱溟，也訪問了諸多“五四”那一輩所教導出來的學生們、當時六十多歲的知識分子。在序言中，她最後說：“我領悟到了我十年來始終未曾真正掌握的‘五四運動’的意義——隻要專制、官僚和教條主義的思想仍然盤踞在政治領導人和民眾的腦袋中，啟蒙運動必將在中國繼續發展下去，無論路途是多麼的曲折，代價是多麼的高昂。”

Lead with a Story: A Guide to Crafting Business Narratives That Captivate, Convince, and Inspire
Paul Smith
online access from Ebook Central Academic Complete
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
Storytelling has come of age in the business world. Today, many of the most successful companies use storytelling as a leadership tool. At Nike, all senior executives are designated "corporate storytellers." 3M banned bullet points years ago and replaced them with a process of writing "strategic narratives." Procter & Gamble hired Hollywood directors to teach its executives storytelling techniques. Some forward-thinking business schools have even added storytelling courses to their management curriculum. The reason for this is simple: stories have the ability to engage an audience the way logic and bullet points alone never could. Whether you are trying to communicate a vision, sell an idea, or inspire commitment, storytelling is a powerful business tool that can mean the difference between mediocre results and phenomenal success. "Lead with a Story" contains both ready-to-use stories and how-to guidance for readers looking to craft their own. Designed for a wide variety of business challenges, the book shows how narrative can help: define culture and values; engender creativity and innovation; foster collaboration and build relationships; provide coaching and feedback; lead change; and more. Whether in a speech or a memo, communicated to one person or a thousand, storytelling is an essential skill for success. Complete with examples from companies like Kellogg's, Merrill-Lynch, Procter & Gamble, National Car Rental, Wal-Mart, Pizza Hut, and more, this practical resource gives readers the guidance they need to deliver stories to stunning effect.

人倫五情中，父母子女之情無疑要列在首位。這種源於血脈相通的親情，最熾熱，最深摯，最持久，最無私。從呱呱墜地到咿呀學語再到長大成人，我們誰不是一直沐浴在父母溫靄如滿月般愛的光輝中？愛給了我們生命，愛又使這生命之芽蓬勃成一棵大樹。而當進入生命的晚境，夕陽將逝，又是兒女的愛撫慰了我們那顆寂寞的心。正是這種一代代延續不已的愛，支撐起了整個人類。《如果你是天使—名家筆下的親情世界》，便蒐集了數十篇這樣的佳構。不論是父母的愛心的傾吐，還是兒女的愛意的表白，無不情真意切，讀來令人動容。朱自清的《背影》，擷取送行途中的一個場面，反覆描寫年邁的父親“蹣跚”、“肥胖”的背影，仿佛電影中的特寫鏡頭，父親的一腔愛意凝注其間，幾十年來曾逗惹出讀者多少滾燙的眼淚。汪曾祺的《多年父子成兄弟》相比之下則寫得從容、平靜、不溫不火，然而那是腴後之枯，濃後之淡，語淺而情深，作者對父親的愛並不因文字的朴質而稍減半分。同是抒寫親子之情，豐子愷《給我的孩子們》直抒胸臆，將對無邪童心的讚美表達得淋漓盡致，也透露出對他們長大後將失卻天真、“不復值得憧憬”的憂慮，拳拳愛心可謂一覽無遺；余光中《我的四個假想敵》則蹊徑獨辟，通過四個正值妙齡的愛女芳心有屬這樣一種假定的情境，展開議論抒情，將為父者既高興又擔心父愛將無所依傍的亦喜亦憂的矛盾心境，寫得躍然紙上，出語風趣幽默，令人忍俊不禁。其他諸作，也莫不姚黃魏紫，各臻其妙，父母辛苦鞠育之恩，兒女湧泉相報之情，字字情真，句句意切，篇篇感人。

Installations By Architects: Experiments in Building and Design
Sarah Bonnemaison and Ronit Eisenbach
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
Over the last few decades, a rich and increasingly diverse practice has emerged in the art world that invites the public to touch, enter, and experience the work, whether it is in a gallery, on city streets, or in the landscape. Like architecture, many of these temporary artworks aspire to alter viewers' experience of the environment. An installation is usually the end product for an artist, but for architects it can also be a preliminary step in an ongoing design process. Like paper projects designed in the absence of "real" architecture, installations offer architects another way to engage in issues critical to their practice. Direct experimentation with architecture's material and social dimensions engages the public around issues in the built environment that concern them and expands the ways that architecture can participate in and impact people's everyday lives.
The first survey of its kind, Installations by Architects features fifty of the most significant projects from the last twenty-five years by today's most exciting architects, including Anderson Anderson, Philip Beesley, Diller + Scofidio, John Hejduk, Dan Hoffman, and Kuth/Ranieri Architects. Projects are grouped in critical areas of discussion under the themes of tectonics, body, nature, memory, and public space. Each project is supplemented by interviews with the project architects and the discussions of critics and theorists situated within a larger intellectual context. There is no doubt that installations will continue to play a critical role in the practice of architecture. Installations by Architects aims to contribute to the role of installations in sharpening our understanding of the built environment.

安藤忠雄都市彷徨
安藤忠雄 著
online access from SuperStar Digital Library
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
「旅行，造就了人。我仍舊探訪著世界上的城市，穿梭漫遊在大大小小的通路與街道，一再地行走、逗留在綿延不絕的巷弄裡而留下我的足跡。緊張與不安當中一個人迷失在不知名的地方，因著孤獨而感到嚴苛、迷惘，甚至不知所措。但總是能在那當中找出一條活路，順利地全身而退，並繼續邁向下一個旅程。……我的人生也可算是一段旅程吧。在沒有接受專門教育的狀況下而志向建築這件事情，就如同獨自在緊張與不安下迷失在一個陌生地方一樣。……然而像現在這樣回過頭來看，我寧可將那視為是因著在那苦難當中以所得的體驗作為食糧，自己才得以一直生存到現在。往往在孤獨與不安、一個人在都市裡彷徨的時候，那樣的感覺便更明顯而具體地流露出來。……旅行，也造就了建築家。」－－安藤忠雄
安藤忠雄從1965年以來直到1992年於世界各地遊歷途中，所留下的思考軌跡與心路歷程記錄的這本《安藤忠雄的都市彷徨》，那種搭著甚至連航班都未能確定的船隻航向各個我們所無法想像的世界角落，探索著什麼、尋找著自己心之所向所具有的勇氣與強韌意志，令人為之由衷嚮往。同時，那似乎可以說是個充滿了生機、經歷了戰後復甦，對於現況的不滿而帶有濃厚批判性色彩、不斷反省並持續追尋著新歷史走向的年代。或許在跨越了2000年之後的21世紀，我們早已慣習於IT(Information Technology)產業發達對於通訊網路器具的依賴，而陷入一種未能自知的懶散狀態。在持續信仰著科技會提供人類更美好未來的這個技術主義至上教條的同時，許多身為一個人所應具備的靈敏度與嗅覺，似乎也在逐漸消失中。會不會我們現在已經逐漸淡忘了怎麼動起來，而忽視了透過五體直觀所能賦予我們的真實觸感？這個cyber world與real world之間的辨證關係似乎已悄悄取代international style與regionalism之間的關係而逐漸熱烈地展開。
在安藤忠雄這本書的字裡行間，透過異文化之間的訊息傳遞反而更能深刻地體會到這份難以言喻的熱情、一種對於真實世界的體驗與實踐的感動。透過旅行，這些和真實世界的接觸，以及同時與內心深刻的自我交往這件事因而得以實現。
因著旅行，而得以脫離容易陷入惰性循環的日常生活，並且在一個新鮮而未知的境界裡得到嶄新的試驗與刺激；也就更因置身在一個前所未見的困頓境遇中，反而更具有「創造性」之產生的可能。這或許也就是安藤忠雄長久以來，把「旅行」這件事情當作人生中最大的導師、並且不斷地在自己的真實生活與內心世界持續著自己的旅程、並且持續著和自己之間之戰鬥狀態的緣故吧。因著旅行得以發掘自己在日常生活中未能察覺的生命與潛力。再怎麼說這都是對於一個人非常重要而難得的價值吧。

You Are What You Hear: How Music and Territory Make Us Who We Are
Harry Witchel
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
Have you ever wondered why music makes you feel so good? Why did we evolve to have music, and what does music do to us? You Are What You Hear is a bit of a romp compared to the usual science book. Dr. Witchel, a specialist in music, pleasure and the brain, explains how the body and the brain are influenced by different kinds of music, why some music makes us joyous, while other music makes us sad, or angry, or anxious, and how the brain interprets this music. He also shows how music plays with your mind what you think, how you decide what to buy, and even how smart you are.
Pondering the musicality of everything from bird songs to the language he calls "motherese," Dr. Witchel illustrates the power of music and addresses the questions:
- Why do we listen to music?
- Why does music make sex better?
- Why do some people love Beethoven and others rap music?
- Is musical taste 100% nurture, or is there a role for nature?
- Why do aggressive young men blare out booming music from their cars?
- Why do we listen to sad music?
- Does violent music lead to violent behavior?
- Does listening to Mozart make you smarter or just happier?
- Does music make the brain grow larger?
- Can music surreptitiously influence what we decide to buy in shops?
- Can music cure?
Dr. Witchel's interests run the gamut from music, dating and laughter to the body language of the British Prime Minister, which he has analyzed on the BBC. he shows that, like birds, we use music to establish and reinforce territory, for ourselves and for our social groups. In this way, music defines who we are.
You Are What You Hear is an erudite and entertaining study that is unique in many ways. No other book has thoroughly elaborated the connection between music and social territory in humans, although in other music-making species scientists have shown this connection to be clear-cut. Given the wealth of scientific evidence and historical narratives presented in You Are What You Hear, an intellectual investigation of this avenue is long overdue. Written by a psychobiologist, the work straddles hard science and psychology, approaching music from a unique interdisciplinary perspective. Successfully bridging these strands of evidence, You Are What You Hear elucidates the significance of territory not only in music but in daily life. This lively and engaging book will have a broad appeal not only to the general public, but to students interested in the relationship between music and culture. Anyone from seventeen to seventy will have the potential to gain something from this book.

Moral Ground: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
Moral Ground brings together the testimony of over 80 visionaries — theologians and religious leaders, scientists, elected officials, business leaders, naturists, activists, and writers — to present a diverse and compelling call to honor our individual and collective moral responsibilities to our planet. In the face of environmental degradation and global climate change, scientific knowledge alone does not tell us what we ought to do. The missing premise of the argument and much-needed centerpiece in the debate to date has been the need for ethical values, moral guidance, and principled reasons for doing the right thing for our planet, its animals, its plants, and its people. This book encourages a newly discovered, or rediscovered, commitment to consensus about our ethical obligation to the future and why it’s wrong to wreck the world.

Orientalist Aesthetics: Art, Colonialism, and French North Africa, 1880-1930
Roger Benjamin
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
online access from EBSCOhost
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
Lavishly illustrated with exotic images ranging from Renoir's forgotten Algerian oeuvre to the abstract vision of Matisse's Morocco and beyond, this book is the first history of Orientalist art during the period of high modernism. Roger Benjamin, drawing on a decade of research in untapped archives, introduces many unfamiliar paintings, posters, miniatures, and panoramas and discovers an art movement closely bound to French colonial expansion. Orientalist Aesthetics approaches the visual culture of exoticism by ranging across the decorative arts, colonial museums, traveling scholarships, and art criticism in the Salons of Paris and Algiers.
Benjamin's rediscovery of the important Society of French Orientalist Painters provides a critical context for understanding a lush body of work, including that of indigenous Algerian artists never before discussed in English.
The painter-critic Eugène Fromentin tackled the unfamiliar atmospheric conditions of the desert, Etienne Dinet sought a more truthful mode of ethnographic painting by converting to Islam, and Mohammed Racim melded the Persian miniature with Western perspective. Benjamin considers armchair Orientalists concocting dreams from studio bric-à-brac, naturalists who spent years living in the oases of the Sahara, and Fauve and Cubist travelers who transposed the discoveries of the Parisian Salons to create decors of indigenous figures and tropical plants. The network that linked these artists with writers and museum curators was influenced by a complex web of tourism, rapid travel across the Mediterranean, and the march of modernity into a colonized culture. Orientalist Aesthetics shows how colonial policy affected aesthetics, how Europeans visualized cultural difference, and how indigenous artists in turn manipulated Western visual languages.

中國藝術研究院研究員、著名藝術評論家劉曉純認為，趙無極留下的東西不僅是他價值連城的藝術作品，更是他創造性的精神遺產：國際化視野，現代性的藝術觀念，以及兼具東西方的文化情懷。
在西方藝術家的眼中，趙無極的畫既有西方神秘學說的啟示，又有中國人對自然的思考，這無疑是趙無極藝術的最高境界。藝評人達尼埃爾.馬歇索認為，趙無極的畫面上透明而抽象的淡彩，精到地綜合了中國意味和西方抒情主義。

Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle For Internet Freedom
Rebecca MacKinnon
online access from Ebook Central Academic Complete
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
The Internet was going to liberate us, but in truth it has not. For every story about the web’s empowering role in events such as the Arab Spring, there are many more about the quiet corrosion of civil liberties by companies and governments using the same digital technologies we have come to depend upon.
Sudden changes in Facebook’s features and privacy settings have exposed identities of protestors to police in Egypt and Iran. Apple removes politically controversial apps at the behest of governments as well as for its own commercial reasons. Dozens of Western companies sell surveillance technology to dictatorships around the world. Google struggles with censorship demands from governments in a range of countries—many of them democracies—as well as mounting public concern over the vast quantities of information it collects about its users.
In Consent of the Networked, journalist and Internet policy specialist Rebecca MacKinnon argues that it is time to fight for our rights before they are sold, legislated, programmed, and engineered away. Every day, the corporate sovereigns of cyberspace make decisions that affect our physical freedom—but without our consent. Yet the traditional solution to unaccountable corporate behavior—government regulation—cannot stop the abuse of digital power on its own, and sometimes even contributes to it.
A clarion call to action, Consent of the Networked shows that it is time to stop arguing over whether the Internet empowers people, and address the urgent question of how technology should be governed to support the rights and liberties of users around the world.

萬古江河 : 中國歷史文化的轉折與開展
許倬雲 著
online access from SuperStar Digital Library
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
《萬古江河》是許倬雲畢生智慧的結晶，也是他對中國文化發展問題的創新詮釋！
本書以江河流域的擴大比喻文化的進展，從中國文化發軔的地理空間開始談起，論及史前時期中國文化的多元發展與分合，然後再細述中國文化在不斷的衝突與融合中，一步步擴大進入世界體系的歷程。最後，全書以中國文化面對近代西方資本主義帝國壓力下的「百年蹣跚」為結束。
《萬古江河》近27萬言，涉及的內容極為豐富，有民俗生活、思想信仰、文學藝術、經濟社會的演變、科學技術的發展、文化的交流互動等，字裡行間既有高空鳥瞰式的宏觀洞見，又有具體日常生活的細微描寫。
更重要的是，本書不但擺脫了中國文化本位主義，也著重於庶民觀點及大區域文化的比較研究，每每以全球文化的高視點，來詮釋多元且複雜的中國文化發展歷程。其視野之開闊、思路之寬廣，實為相關著作中所僅見。
許倬雲耗時三年完成的這部大著作，雖是以精深學術為底子，但作者的文字風格極為暢達，也不直接引用史料原文，因此本書已跨越了歷史專業讀者群的範圍，非常適合一般讀者閱讀。作者在書中闡釋了上百個一般讀者想知道，但又不曉得到哪裡去問的文化議題，例如：台灣為什麼晚至近代才出現在中國歷史上、中古的老百姓吃些什麼、《金瓶梅》為什麼是有反叛精神的創作、長江文化和黃河文化有何差異、孔子的「仁」到底是什麼意思、中國為什麼沒有出現代西方的工業化……等。一如作者在自序中所言：「今日的讀者不同於舊時，在這平民的時代，大率受過高中教育以上者，都可能對歷史有興趣。」──而本書，即是為這一代中國人所撰寫的歷史。

Visualizing Russia: Fedor Solntsev and Crafting a National Past
Edited by Cynthia Hyla Whittaker
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
The Romantic search for a national past was a European Preoccupation in the first half of the nineteenth century. In Russia, this process led to the formation of the Russian Style that has until today so captivated the world's imagination. While the manifestations of this style are easily recognizable in gleaming gilt, vibrant colors, onion domes, peasant costume, and tsarist regalia, hardly anyone has realized the pioneering and defining role that Fedor Solntsev (1801-1892) played in the development of a Russian national aesthetic. This book rescues Solntsev from obscurity and celebrates his major contributions to the arts, archaeology, architecture, ethnography, icon painting, restoration work, and Russian nationalist ideology and also places his work in a general European context.

俄羅斯美術隨筆

check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
何懷碩教授 推薦
俄羅斯的文化、思想、文學、音樂與繪畫一向在我心中有特別的份量。深刻、壯麗、雄渾與穿透心靈的力量，在歐洲只有貝多芬、歌德、莎士比亞、哈代、林布蘭、羅丹、孟克等等大師才能給我們一樣的震撼。俄國繪畫力量之強，在技巧上要歸功於他們對學生的訓練之嚴格。基礎訓練的素描之深刻、嚴謹而不板滯，因為內在神采的捕捉使它比印象派素描著眼於形式的追求要來得更富精神性的內涵。當代美術教育基礎訓練普遍放鬆，尤其西方後現代的新潮的影響，繪畫的式微令人懷憂。
俄羅斯繪畫在技巧之外，強調發揮文化的民族特色。──那些在時空推移中積澱而成的人文思想、生命態度、價值品味、生活風尚等等；吸收外來文化而不喪失自我；揚棄偏向於以技藝的巧變與視覺趣味的追求取代藝術表現人的心靈內在感受的形式主義。俄羅斯那個濃厚的人文主義的藝術傳統，應喚起當代藝術界的反省。
本書的作者高莽先生是年已八十的前輩。他的背景、經歷與修養，不但是最有資格寫這種書的藝術家，應該說現在再難以找到像高莽先生這樣的「內行人」了。高莽先生這本書不是美術史的寫法，也不是「畫冊」，而是一位對俄羅斯美術有深入了解，與許多俄國畫家為朋友，自己也是畫家、作家所寫的美術隨筆。其實這本書可以說是用親切的筆調寫近現代俄羅斯美術的「史論」隨筆。這本書可以引領你走進俄羅斯美術的天地中去嚐「鑊中一臠」。這本書會讓你打開另一扇窗，看到藝術世界中你知道最少的另一個廣闊豐美的花園。（詳見內文序）

The author celebrates the Way of Tea from its ancient origins in Chinese Taoism to its culmination in the Zen discipline known as the Japanese tea ceremony? an enchanting practice bringing together such arts as architecture, pottery, and flower arranging to create an experience that delights the senses, calms the mind, and refreshes the spirit. Tea was first used as a medicine and an alchemical elixir by the ancient Chinese Taoists, who praised its spiritual powers. Buddhist monks made drinking tea part of a tradition honoring the founder of Zen; this ritual was later refined in the performance of the Japanese tea ceremony as a meditative practice. The Book of Tea describes the rich aesthetic of Asian culture through the history, philosophy, and practice of brewing and drinking tea.

Five Ways of Doing Qualitative Analysis: Phenomenological Psychology, Grounded Theory, Discourse Analysis, Narrative Research, and Intuitive Inquiry

online access from ProQuest Ebook Central

This unique text provides a broad introduction to qualitative analysis together with concrete demonstrations and comparisons of five major approaches. Leading scholars apply their respective analytic lenses to a narrative account and interview featuring "Teresa," a young opera singer who experienced a career-changing illness. The resulting analyses vividly exemplify what each approach looks like in action. The researchers then probe the similarities and differences among their approaches; their distinctive purposes and strengths; the role, style, and subjectivity of the individual researcher; and the scientific and ethical complexities of conducting qualitative research. Also included are the research participant's responses to each analysis of her experience. A narrative account from another research participant, "Gail," can be used by readers to practice the kinds of analysis explored in the book.

This unique text provides a broad introduction to qualitative analysis together with concrete demonstrations and comparisons of five major approaches. Leading scholars apply their respective analytic lenses to a narrative account and interview featuring "Teresa," a young opera singer who experienced a career-changing illness. The resulting analyses vividly exemplify what each approach looks like in action. The researchers then probe the similarities and differences among their approaches; their distinctive purposes and strengths; the role, style, and subjectivity of the individual researcher; and the scientific and ethical complexities of conducting qualitative research. Also included are the research participant's responses to each analysis of her experience. A narrative account from another research participant, "Gail," can be used by readers to practice the kinds of analysis explored in the book.

Hong Kong: Migrant Lives, Landscapes, and Journeys
Caroline Knowles and Douglas Harper
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
In 1997 the United Kingdom returned control of Hong Kong to China, ending the city’s status as one of the last remnants of the British Empire and initiating a new phase for it as both a modern city and a hub for global migrations. Hong Kong is a tour of the city’s postcolonial urban landscape, innovatively told through fieldwork and photography.
Caroline Knowles and Douglas Harper’s point of entry into Hong Kong is the unusual position of the British expatriates who chose to remain in the city after the transition. Now a relatively insignificant presence, British migrants in Hong Kong have become intimately connected with another small minority group there: immigrants from Southeast Asia. The lives, journeys, and stories of these two groups bring to life a place where the past continues to resonate for all its residents, even as the city hurtles forward into a future marked by transience and transition. By skillfully blending ethnographic and visual approaches, Hong Kong offers a fascinating guide to a city that is at once unique in its recent history and exemplary of our globalized present.

香港文學散步
小思 編著

一段時期，香港人多少傾向於迴避歷史的重負。析骨還父，析肉還母，卻也真個闖出一番奇蹟。然而「生命中的輕」終歸不能承受太久；若不能體認歷史以潤澤生命，歷史會反過來把你釘死的。當然文學史沒有那麼嚴重。但如果你拒絕文學史給你想象自由的空間，難道你生命確能不無虧欠？讀文學史也不必煞有介事。雖然香港的文學行腳圖尚未繪就，這本書於豐富的文史蹤跡只不過指點一二而遠非盡舉，但已大抵足以引發你散步尋蹤了吧！你在這裏可以傾聽當年文學工作者的聲音，還有後來者的聲音，編寫者的聲音。還有，你這讀者、行者，不應該也有你自己的聲音麼？

Leonardo da Vinci: The Marvellous Works of Nature and Man
Martin Kemp
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
This masterly account of Leonardo da Vinci and his vision of the world has long been recognized as the classic treatment of the Renaissance giant, offering unparalleled insight into Leonardo's intellect and vision at every stage of his artistic career.
Martin Kemp, one of the world's leading authorities on Leonardo, takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the whole span of the great man's life, painting a fully integrated picture of his artistic, scientific, and technological achievements. Kemp shows how Leonardo's early training in Florence provided a crucial foundation in the "science of art," particularly perspective and anatomy, while his period in the service of the Sforzas of Milan enlarged his outlook to embrace a wide range of natural sciences and mathematics, as he searched for scientific rules governing both man and the universe. It was these rules, Kemp argues, which provided the basis for his imaginative reconstruction of nature in masterworks such as the Last Supper, The Mona Lisa, and St. John, which reveal his increasingly complex vision of man in the context of nature. And towards the end of his life, Leonardo became fascinated with the mathematics underlying the "design of nature," behind which lay the ultimate force of the "prime mover," as manifested with supreme power in his Deluge drawings. Covering every aspect of Leonardo's achievement, generously illustrated, and now including a new introductory chapter setting Leonardo's work in its historical context, this fully updated edition provides unparalleled insight into the mind of this central figure in western art.

水樣的春愁 : 名家筆下的愛情世界
劉虹 選編
online access from SuperStar Digital Library

……翻開《水樣的春愁──名家筆下的愛情世界》，我們立刻又進入了另一方男女情愛的多彩天地，心弦感到微微的顫抖戰慄，撥動它的是愛的憧憬，愛的歡樂，愛的悲傷，和愛的痛苦。對於愛情，古今中外的哲人有過許多精癖的論述：愛使人成為人；愛是通向真理之路；愛讓心靈擁抱世界……。總之，兩性間的情愛，是一種極其高尚美好的情感，它能使人在塵世望見天堂。深諳愛的滋味的作家們，用一支支飛揚靈動的筆，給予人心中這一方聖域的千種風光以充分的展示描繪，或宛曲逶迤，脈脈不盡，或激情澎湃，熾烈炙人。愛情有多少種面貌，筆下就有多少樣色彩。這裡既有敏感孤獨的少年對愛情最初的向往，朦朧迷茫，哀愁淡淡，如夢如烟 (郁達夫《水樣的春愁》)。又有大半生恩愛與共的夫妻，憶昔歲月蹉跎多，惟有數十載風雨同舟，甘苦共嘗，才使得這份鉛華洗淨的愛情，具有了即使地老天荒不會湮滅的堅定與深摰 (黃宗英《快樂的阿丹》)。作為一名極富才情個性的詩人，徐志摩以其“濃得化不開”的詩風揚名天下。他的寫情散文也同樣飽蘸激情，讀他寫給陸小曼的情書《愛眉小札》，分明能感受到一顆渴盼愛情的靈魂的急切的悸動。而一旦相愛多年的伴侶撤手人寰，孤雁單飛，千種掛念，萬般思量，都來心上，那種落寞哀傷，即便是淡淡寫出，也實在是令讀者為之黯然的，巴金的《再憶蕭珊》，孫犁的《亡人軼事》，便都是這類以平實之辭寫沉痛之情的佳作。

The Good Among the Great: 19 Traits of the Most Admirable, Creative, and Joyous People
Donald Van de Mark

check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
The Good Among the Great: 19 Traits of the Most Admirable, Creative and Joyous People offers an in-depth look at the qualities that make a few high achievers also good people. Using lively stories drawn from his more than 25 years interviewing prominent leaders for CNN, CNBC, and other television news programs, author Donald Van de Mark illustrates the 19 personality traits of self-actualized people, as originally identified by psychologist Abraham Maslow.
Van de Mark shows how the traits are exhibited by wonderful, successful people in all walks of life, spanning the famous (Meryl Streep, Charles Schwab, and Andrew Weil) to the great but not well known (Poosie Orr, mother and housewife; Rachel Walton, pediatric hospice nurse; and Andrew Ferguson, teacher).
Practical, common-sense guidelines and Takeaways after every chapter show readers how they can identify and nurture the traits in themselves and others, creating the shortest route possible to personal and professional achievement and fulfillment.
