Gregory Berns

No organization can survive without iconoclasts -- innovators who single-handedly upturn conventional wisdom and manage to achieve what so many others deem impossible.
Though indispensable, true iconoclasts are few and far between. In Iconoclast, neuroscientist Gregory Berns explains why. He explores the constraints the human brain places on innovative thinking, including fear of failure, the urge to conform, and the tendency to interpret sensory information in familiar ways.
Through vivid accounts of successful innovators ranging from glass artist Dale Chihuly to physicist Richard Feynman to country/rock trio the Dixie Chicks, Berns reveals the inner workings of the iconoclast's mind with remarkable clarity. Each engaging chapter goes on to describe practical actions we can each take to understand and unleash our own potential to think differently -- such as seeking out new environments, novel experiences, and first-time acquaintances.
Packed with engaging stories, science-based insights, potent practices, and examples from a startling array of disciplines, this engaging book will help you understand how iconoclasts think and equip you to begin thinking more like an iconoclast yourself.

蕭紅，30年代中國文壇最負盛名、最活躍、最有才氣的女作家，深受魯迅、茅盾等名作家賞識，讚譽她的作品寫出了窒息年代中人民對生的堅強與對死的掙扎。
《呼蘭河傳》以夢幻般的筆法勾畫了一個平靜而飽含幽怨的寂寞世界，宛如掠過無聲黑夜的璀璨極光，堪稱是中國現代文學中永垂不朽的經典之作……
武俠文學大師金庸說：
「蕭紅在香港寫的《呼蘭河傳》感人至深，我閱此書後，逕去淺水灣她墓前憑弔一番，深恨未能得見此才女……」
曾經對生活寄以美麗希望，但又屢次幻滅的人是寂寞的。呼蘭小城是蕭紅生命的起點，充滿著各式各樣的美好想像和色彩，可是逝水一般的年華卻又那麼刻板單調﹔在漂泊的歲月和戰爭的煙硝中，即將走道生命終點的蕭紅仍懷著最美好的憧憬，忍住寂寞的心情，以含淚的微笑追憶這寂寞的小城。
《呼蘭河傳》是一串淒婉的歌謠組成的夢幻詩篇。蕭紅把自己對生命的體驗與感悟，孤獨與憂傷、寂寞與悵惘，真誠地融入一篇篇追憶，透過渾樸簡婉的筆調與洗盡鉛華的輕淡詞句，愈發烘襯出那個幽暗、冰冷的、令人窒息的時代……

Stylish Academic Writing
Helen Sword
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind
Elegant data and ideas deserve elegant expression, argues Helen Sword in this lively guide to academic writing. For scholars frustrated with disciplinary conventions, and for specialists who want to write for a larger audience but are unsure where to begin, here are imaginative, practical, witty pointers that show how to make articles and books a pleasure to read—and to write.
Dispelling the myth that you cannot get published without writing wordy, impersonal prose, Sword shows how much journal editors and readers welcome work that avoids excessive jargon and abstraction. Sword’s analysis of more than a thousand peer-reviewed articles across a wide range of fields documents a startling gap between how academics typically describe good writing and the turgid prose they regularly produce.
Stylish Academic Writing showcases a range of scholars from the sciences, humanities, and social sciences who write with vividness and panache. Individual chapters take up specific elements of style, such as titles and headings, chapter openings, and structure, and close with examples of transferable techniques that any writer can master.
