In 2050 there will be 9.3 billion people alive - compared with 7 billion today - and the number will still be rising. The population aged over sixty-five will have more than doubled, to more than 16 per cent; China's GDP will be 80 per cent more than America's; and the number of cars on India's roads will have increased by 3,880 per cent. And, in 2050 it should be clear whether we are alone in the universe. What other megachanges can we expect - and what will their impact be? This comprehensive and compelling book will cover the most significant trends that are shaping the coming decades, with each of its twenty chapters elegantly and authoritatively outlined by Economist contributors, and rich in supporting facts and figures. It will chart the rise and fall of fertility rates across continents; how energy resources will change in light of new technology, and how different nations will deal with major developments in science and warfare. Megachange is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what the next four decades hold in store.

栽培自己，就從現在！成就自己，永無止境！

在充滿不確定的年代，唯一且絕對可以確定的高報酬投資──栽培自己。

要做夢，就做大夢。e世代如何美夢成真？

• 成功需要的是：百分之百的熱忱，全心投入的努力，接受挫折的勇氣。
• 讓別人認識並且記得你，是你的責任，而不是對方的義務。
• 容許自己不快樂，是釋放壓力的方式之一。心情不好的時候，不妨發個呆，少做點事，等情緒調整過來，重新出發。
• 重要的事都已事先處置妥當，就不會經常發生緊急的事。
• 眼界的提昇，可用想像的；技巧的增加必須不斷的實驗、練習。你要調整「眼高」和「手低」的距離。
• 偷懶，總有藉口；上進，沒有理由。
• 溝通品質不受口才好壞影響，關鍵在於能否體貼對方。
• 有時候，克制自己不做什麼，比放任自己愛做什麼，要來得積極。
• 打開行動力的關鍵，在於決心。

After Modern Art 1945-2000

Modern and contemporary art can be both baffling and beautiful; it can also be innovative, political, and disturbing. This book sets out to provide the first concise interpretation of the period as a whole, clarifying the artists and their works along the way. Closely informed by new critical approaches, it concentrates on the relationship between American and European art from the end of the Second World War to the eve of the new millennium.

Jackson Pollock, Jasper Johns, Yves Klein, Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman, and Damien Hirst are among many artists discussed, with careful attention being given to the political and cultural worlds they inhabited. Moving along a clear timeline, the author highlights key movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptualism, Postmodernism, and performance art to explain the theoretical and issue-based debates that have provided the engine for the art of this period.

耶穌誕生前，人們就得到主降生的啟示。在伯利恆之星的指引下或天使的告知下，都到馬槽前來參拜聖嬰及聖母。耶穌降生是基督世界中最為重大的事件之一，他在人類世界淪落時誕生，預示混沌世界將得到拯救。

本書節選的60幅以“聖誕”為主題的聖像畫，都是西方藝術巨匠以其最為深厚的動力，最虔誠的心靈描繪的聖嬰誕生，天上人間共賀的場面，觀後，在帶給人以心靈的震撼的同時，也得到美的藝術燻陶。

《走讀魯迅》一代文學巨擘的十一個生命印記

一本與眾不同的寫魯迅的書

探析人生經歷中的眾多迷團
還原一個人性化的魯迅

他叫周樹人，他是一個普通人

一個身世坎坷、心境落寞、性格冷峻、且又看重感情、渴望愛情、深懷柔情的普通人

周樹人，1881年9月25日－1936年10月19日，字豫才。原名樟壽，字豫山、豫亭。以筆名魯迅聞名於世。浙江紹興人，20世紀中國重要作家，新文化運動的領導人、左翼文化運動的支持者。魯迅的作品包括雜文、短篇小說、評論、散文、翻譯作品，對於五四運動以後的中國文學產生了深刻的影響。

走讀魯迅：一代文學巨擘的十一個生命印記，……在那些老屋舊舍之中，隱藏著多少讓人唏噓感歎的故事啊！只有走進去、讀過去，才能品味魯迅那五味雜陳的內心世界。 紹興、人生之始、無可留連的故鄉、北京、“魯迅”誕生、兄弟失和、兩個“老虎尾巴”、“祝福”為誰而作、“魯迅師”與“廣平兄”、廈門、飛鴻遙繫兩地心、太陽、黑夜與月亮、廣州、大鐘樓上的孤獨宿客、奇怪的“官司”、哪一扇窗戶是他的家？上海、最後的歲月。

歷時十年走讀，行程逾萬公里，踏訪七城故地，解析性格成因，二百六十餘幅精彩圖。

只有當你真正瞭解了魯迅那特有的人生、瞭解了他所經受過的那些屈辱和艱辛，你才能真正讀懂他的內心，才能明白他在生命接近終點的時候為什麼會說出那樣驚世駭俗的話：“讓他們怨恨去，我也一個都不寬恕。”－－作者
