如果你不懂EQ，從現在起，我們宣布——你落伍了！

—美國《時代週刊》

你知道富蘭克林．羅斯福、約翰．甘迺迪等8位美國總統、喬治．明諾特、愛德華．珀西爾等34位諾貝爾獎得主、比爾．蓋茲、路易士．郭士納等幾十位商業領袖有什麼共同特徵嗎？

他們都是哈佛大學的莘莘學子，都非常注重哈佛的情商課。

在哈佛，成績絕對不是唯一重要的條件。哈佛選人的要求是學生的綜合素質。哈佛大學教授、著名心理學家丹尼爾．戈爾曼有句至理名言：「成功＝20％的智商＋80％的情商。」

如果說成績由智商決定，那麼綜合素質主要取決於一個人的情商。只有提高情商，才能有效地發揮組織的協調能力，才能培養領導能力和團隊精神，也才能成為政治和經濟方面的領袖。

I Am Because We Are: African Wisdom in Image and Proverb

I Am Because We Are features 125 black and white photographs by Betty Press taken all over East and West Africa since 1987, combined with related African proverbs compiled by Annetta Miller, an American born in Tanzania. The book highlights the importance of proverbs in educating members of African societies on how to think, how to behave, and how to have a better life. Press took these photographs with the goal of making a significant educational and artistic contribution to the appreciation and understanding of African culture and society as well as our own.

The photographs of daily life deal with knowledge, cooperation, love, beauty, friendship, hope, humor, sorrow, happiness, gratitude, dance, tradition, faith, peace, war, death, and human relationships. These are the same themes found in African proverbial language. Thus came the natural idea of coupling images with proverbs. Together they offer a powerful expression of African life and the universality of human emotions, ideas, and knowledge.

改變自己影響世界的一句話

楊雲鵬 編著

改變世界，從改變自己開始
改變自己，從這句話開始

愛因斯坦、富蘭克林、林肯、羅斯福、巴頓、愛森豪、麥克阿瑟、松下幸之助、卡耐基、洛克菲勒、張榮發、王永慶、李嘉誠……

這是一連串閃亮的名字——代表著成就、地位、富豪、影響力。
他們以他們的成就，影響了整個世界

可是你知道嗎？他們也曾和你我一樣尋常，是什麼影響改變了他們？
是關鍵的這一句話。

這句話改變了他們一生，也改變了世界。
你是否也願意讓這句話走進你的生活、你的人生。

一
你是否總想著：「只要……我就能……」
遇到難關，你會告訴自己：「是很困難，但沒問題！」嗎？
面對討厭的人，你該如何自處？……解決生活中的難題，其實很簡單，只要養成好習慣，就能化不可能為可能，苦差事也不苦了！

二
如何創造自己人生的價值？
如何選擇幸福與成功的捷徑？讓他們告訴你——
香港景泰藍商人陳玉書：「致富的秘訣在於『大膽創新，眼光獨到』。」
阿爾弗雷德．諾貝爾：「當失敗一次次接踵而至的時候，我從來沒有氣餒過，依然按照自己既定的目標前進。」
法國哲學家羅西法古：「如果你要得到仇人，就表現得比你的朋友聰明與優越；如果你想得到朋友，就讓你的朋友表現得比你自己更聰明與優越。」
心理學家蘭奇：「只要是自己的成功，不分大小都能為自己帶來快樂與動力。」

三
每個人在人生的道路上，努力追求著幸福與成功。但是「不如意之事，十有八九」。
本書告訴你怎樣才能打破不如意的情況，讓自己的行為創造成功！
本書不是講解高深的理論，或玄妙的人生哲學，而是透過對各個領域、各個人生環節的觀察總結，如為人處世、自身心態調整，以及創新意識和對生命的激情等等，總結出一些對人生有幫助的行為，幫助追求幸福與成功的人，以更有效的方式走上成功的大道。

四
為什麼你諸事不順，什麼都做不好？因為你還沒有養成好習慣。每個人天生的才能，其實差距不大成功與否，通常是由日常生活的小習慣決定的。
從現在開始改變吧！

從卡夫卡到昆德拉︰20世紀的小說和小說家

回顧剛剛逝去的20世紀文學，冠以經典的蓋棺論定或許言之尚早。但吳曉東在經大講壇上推崇的從卡夫卡到昆德拉這九位小說家，卻無疑稱得上大師；他在課堂上選作闡釋分析對象的九篇作品也已經或終將被證明為不朽。因此，吳曉東對他心儀小說家的獨具慧眼的研究、對他欣賞小說的別有會心的解讀，不失為一種對20世紀現代派文學的回顧和盤點。

雖然作者無意經營小說史的契約，但其宏闊視野卻有助於我們對百年文學脈絡的整體關照和把握，進而領悟已經過去的這個“人類有史以來最複雜的一個世紀”對小說家及小說形式的深層影響，以及為甚麼20世紀的小說令人感到“閱讀不再是一種消遣和享受；閱讀已成為嚴肅的甚至痛苦的儀式”。

check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Globalization. Sustainability. Technology. Diversity. Learning. Convergence of the public and private sectors. These are the big issues on the minds of young leaders today—the challenges they most want to, and must, pursue.

In Passion and Purpose, dozens of recent Harvard Business School MBAs share personal stories on assuming the mantle of leadership in ways unlike any previous generation. In candid accounts of their successes and setbacks—from launching start-ups to taking on the family business to helping kids in the Arabian Gulf to harnessing new technology and developing clean energy—they reveal how the next generation of ideas, aspirations, and practices are shaping business and redefining leadership around the world.

Drawing on insights from a survey of 500 students from top U.S. business schools, Passion and Purpose provides an overview of big, hot-button issues, followed by firsthand accounts from young leaders who are tackling these issues head-on. Their personal stories are rounded out with broader perspectives from established luminaries in business, academia, and the public sector, including Dominic Barton (Managing Director of McKinsey & Company), Nitin Nohria (dean of Harvard Business School), David Gergen (CNN analyst, presidential advisor and director of Harvard’s Center for Public Leadership), Carter Roberts (CEO of World Wildlife Fund), and many others.

Passion and Purpose offers profound insight into the values and vision of tomorrow’s leaders, and inspiration and ideas for all aspiring leaders who hope to lead change in the world.

The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos

Michael Freeman 
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
 

Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful photograph. The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and then organize the graphic elements into an effective, compelling composition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs.

Digital photography has brought a new, exciting aspect to design - first because the instant feedback from a digital camera allows immediate appraisal and improvement; and second because image-editing tools make it possible to alter and enhance the design after the shutter has been pressed. This has had a profound effect on the way digital photographers take pictures.

Now published in sixteen languages, The Photographer's Eye continues to speak to photographers everywhere. Reaching 100,000 copies in print in the US alone, and 300,000+ worldwide, it shows how anyone can develop the ability to see and shoot great digital photographs. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design, but crucially, it also addresses the new digital technique of shooting in the knowledge that a picture will later be edited, manipulated, or montaged to result in a final image that may be very different from the one seen in the viewfinder.

Features
*Covers both traditional in-camera composition and the new opportunities for picture-making made possible by digital imaging editing
*Shows how to explore situations and locations in order to find the best possible photographic possibilities
*Uses clear examples from real photographic assignments, with schematic illustrations of how and why the pictures work

State of the World 2013: Is Sustainability Still Possible?

John J. Crocitti, editor ; Monique Vallance, contributing editor
online access from SpringerLink
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Every day, we are presented with a range of “sustainable” products and activities—from “green” cleaning supplies to carbon offsets—but with so much labeled as “sustainable,” the term has become essentially sustainababble, at best indicating a practice or product slightly less damaging than the conventional alternative. Is it time to abandon the concept altogether, or can we find an accurate way to measure sustainability? If so, how can we achieve it? And if not, how can we best prepare for the coming ecological decline?

In the latest edition of Worldwatch Institute’s State of the World series, scientists, policy experts, and thought leaders tackle these questions, attempting to restore meaning to sustainability as more than just a marketing tool. In State of the World 2013: Is Sustainability Still Possible?, experts define clear sustainability metrics and examine various policies and perspectives, including geoengineering, corporate transformation, and changes in agricultural policy, that could put us on the path to prosperity without diminishing the well-being of future generations. If these approaches fall short, the final chapters explore ways to prepare for drastic environmental change and resource depletion, such as strengthening democracy and societal resilience, protecting cultural heritage, and dealing with increased conflict and migration flows.

State of the World 2013 cuts through the rhetoric surrounding sustainability, offering a broad and realistic look at how close we are to fulfilling it today and which practices and policies will steer us in the right direction. This book will be especially useful for policymakers, environmental nonprofits, and students of environmental studies, sustainability, or economics.

The New Brazil tells the story of South America's largest country as it evolved from a remote Portuguese colony into a regional leader; a respected representative for the developing world; and, increasingly, an important partner for the United States and the European Union.

In this engaging book, Riordan Roett traces the long road Brazil has traveled to reach its present status, examining the many challenges it has overcome and those that lie ahead. He discusses the country's development as a colony, empire, and republic; the making of modern Brazil, beginning with the rise to power of Getúlio Vargas; the advent of the military government in 1964; the return to civilian rule two decades later; and the pivotal presidencies of Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Luiz Inácio (Lula) da Silva, leading to the nation's current world status as one of the BRIC countries.

Under newly elected President Dilma Rousseff, much remains to be done to consolidate and expand its global role. Nonetheless, as a player on the world stage, Brazil is here to stay.

"In part the [country's] success is due to external factors such as the high demand for Brazilian exports, particularly in China and the rest of Asia. But it also reflects sophisticated policy choices, including inflation targeting and maintenance of an autonomous central bank."—from the Introduction

……「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……

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.

García Márquez: The Man and His Work

Gene H. Bell-Villada

Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of the most influential Latin American writers of the twentieth century. His unique literary creativity is rooted in the history of the region, with all its social and political implications.

In this beautifully written examination of Garcia Marquez and his work, Gene Bell-Villada traces the major forces that have shaped the Colombian novelist and describes his life, his personality, and his political opinions. He considers Garcia Marquez's place in world literature and analyzes his short fiction and all of his novels from the great and complex One Hundred Years of Solitude—a cultural phenomenon the likes of which we have seldom seen—through Love in the Time of Cholera. He shows why Garcia Marquez has achieved a confluence of high art and popular success that is virtually unique in the twentieth century.

Bell-Villada examines the narrative works of Garcia Marquez for their historical and human content, for their literary technique and structure, and for their expert use of fantasy, ribaldry, humor, and satire. He describes Garcia Marquez as a global phenomenon and as a local boy, as a Nobel Laureate and as a Latin American Everyman, as a political writer and as a novelist of love.

The book will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers—generalists who enjoy his novels, teachers and students, and literary specialists and Latin Americanists investigating the culture and politics of the region.

加西亞‧馬爾克斯（台譯︰馬奎斯）以小說作品創建了一個自己的世界，一個濃縮的宇宙，其中喧囂紛亂卻又生動可信的現實，映射了一片大陸及其人民的富足與貧困。——諾貝爾文學獎頒獎辭

《百年孤獨》是魔幻現實主義文學的代表作，描寫了布恩迪亞家族七代人的傳奇故事，以及加勒比海沿岸小鎮馬孔多的百年興衰，反映了拉丁美洲一個世紀以來風雲變幻的歷史。作品融入神話傳說、民間故事、宗教典故等神秘因素，巧妙地糅合了現實與虛幻，展現出一個瑰麗的想像世界，成為20世紀最重要的經典文學巨著之一。1982年加西亞‧馬爾克斯（台譯︰馬奎斯）獲得諾貝爾文學獎，奠定世界級文學大師的地位，很大程度上乃是憑借《百年孤獨》的巨大影響。

 加西亞‧馬爾克斯（Gabriel Garcia Marquez）1927年出生於哥倫比亞馬格達萊納海濱小鎮阿拉卡塔卡。童年與外祖父母一起生活。1936年隨父母遷居蘇克雷。1947年考入波哥大國立大學。1948年因內戰輟學，進入報界。1955年出版《枯枝敗葉》。六十年代初移居墨西哥。1967年《百年孤獨》問世。1982年獲諾貝爾文學獎。

高情商領導(Primal Leadership)

《高情商領導》根據幾十年來世界頂尖公司和組織之中的分析成果，作者們向我們說明，那些能夠引起人們共鳴的領導者——不論他們是首席執行官還是經理，是教練還是政客——在出人頭地的過程之中，憑借的不僅是技巧和聰明，而且要運用諸如心靈相通與自知之明這樣的手段和其他人溝通聯繫的情感智慧方面的能力。而且，根據實際情況的需要，他們運用了多達六種領導風格——從幻想到訓練到採取行動——並且根據情況需要靈活地在各種風格之間變換。現在，由著名的情商研究專家理查德・博亞茲和安妮・麥基與戈爾曼團隊合作，探究情感智慧在領導藝術中所扮演的角色，揭開在組織的成敗與“高情商領導”之間的神經科學方面的聯繫。作者們認為，領導的情感是富有感染力的，如果一位領導傳遞的是力量和熱情，那麼一個組織就能夠繁榮；如果一位領導傳遞的是消極的，不和諧的情感信息，那麼組織就會失去正確的方向。這種突破性的概念促使領導們按照正確的方向積極調動，推進人們的情緒，以便對公司的盈利或者公司戰略產生一種正面的影響。

Impatient Optimist: Bill Gates in His Own Words

Edited by Lisa Rogak
online access from Books24x7
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Bill Gates, the founder and former CEO of Microsoft, has been a revered, and occasionally controversial, worldwide business icon for more than three decades.

Recognized by most as an ingenious visionary, and painted by some as a tyrannical, less-than-scrupulous empire builder, Gates has had an unignorable impact on the growth of digital technology in daily life over the past 30 years. Even his sharpest critics have to acknowledge the obvious: Gates helped spearhead one of the greatest revolutions in modern history by seizing on the importance of software to the rise of the personal computer, along the way turning an arcane, specialized technology into a commonplace tool for the office and home.

Gates has long been ranked as one of the world’s wealthiest men--which gave him a name recognition far greater than that of most CEOs--and businesspeople of all stripes have looked to him as a role model, using his words and business strategies to help create, inspire, and grow their own companies. After he stopped running Microsoft's day-to-day operations in 2008 to devote himself full-time to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a kinder, gentler Gates began to emerge. As a result, people actively involved in the philanthropic world, whether in professional, part-time, or personal capacities, began to develop a new appreciation for the man.

Bill Gates’s second act is no less compelling than his first. And whether you’re interested in his personal life or looking for inspiration to drive you forward in your own business endeavors, Impatient Optimist: Bill Gates in His Own Words has much to offer. As the tech giants who distinguished the turn of the 21st century shape public life in ways that outstrip the efforts of the previous century's titans of industry, we look to figures like Gates for inspiration as one of America's greatest business icons. This book will surely feed the world's curiosity about one of the most important leaders of the digital age.
