《戰爭中沒有女性》是2015年諾貝爾文學獎得主斯維特拉娜·阿列克西耶維奇（Svetlana Alexievich）的作品。

《戰爭中沒有女性》這部作品，可以說是一部全景性紀實文學。作者沒有像前人一樣，選擇一個或幾個原型，精心構思，寫成一篇環繞一個或幾個人物展開情節的小說。如果那樣做，作者也是有足夠的素材積累和駕馭能力的。但是，作者為自己確立的目標，似是要寫出偉大衛國戰爭中蘇聯婦女的整體形象。她不是描寫一兩個、十幾個女性形象，而是集中了數十個戰時婦女的故事，讓她們作為主人公輪流出現，“自己講自己”，仿佛直接面對讀者娓娓而談。這些女主人公的命運遭際豐富多彩、各個不同，又具有整體的共性。作者巧妙地剪輯和匯合了她們的故事，構成了一幅波瀾壯闊的戰爭中婦女群象的長卷巨畫。作者所取的描繪角度也頗具獨特性，她不去渲染戰鬥和工作的過程，也沒有直接描寫女兵們在戰場上的英勇表現，而主要是通過女性心靈對於戰爭的感受，從感情上去反映和描繪戰爭，進而深刻地揭示了那場戰爭的本質。戰爭本來似乎是男人的事，女性與軍人難以得兼，但這一常規在衛國戰爭中被打破了，眾多女性從戎參戰。女孩子們身上習見的嬌柔、溫存、端莊、懦弱等等，在戰火中改變了，女性非女性化了，這一事實說明了戰爭的嚴峻和殘酷，更說明了衛國戰爭的正義性和全民性。這部作品著意於探索戰爭中女性的心理及其種種表現，種種變化，同時也就反映了衛國戰爭中蘇聯婦女的犧牲和貢獻。

The Elements of Academic Style: Writing for the Humanities

Eric Hayot
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central

Eric Hayot teaches graduate students and faculty in literary and cultural studies how to think and write like a professional scholar. From granular concerns, such as sentence structure and grammar, to big-picture issues, such as adhering to genre patterns for successful research and publishing and developing productive and rewarding writing habits, Hayot helps ambitious students, newly minted Ph.D.'s, and established professors shape their work and develop their voices.

Hayot does more than explain the techniques of academic writing. He aims to adjust the writer's perspective, encouraging scholars to think of themselves as makers and doers of important work. Scholarly writing can be frustrating and exhausting, yet also satisfying and crucial, and Hayot weaves these experiences, including his own trials and tribulations, into an ethos for scholars to draw on as they write. Combining psychological support with practical suggestions for composing introductions and conclusions, developing a schedule for writing, using notes and citations, and structuring paragraphs and essays, this guide to the elements of academic style does its part to rejuvenate scholarship and writing in the humanities.

請賜予我神奇的說服力！

是誰掌握了世界最偉大的力量？是誰能夠實現偉大的夢想？
要成功，甚至生存，決定於一個要素：說服力
成功或失敗，碰碰運氣？！

多年來，許多行銷人員、廣告人員以及其他人訴諸情緒反應來成就事業。但是這種方式有時成功、有時失敗。現在你有讓自己的說服力大增。你越了解大腦處理訊息的方式，就越能夠與他人進行良好的溝通，而不是以違反大腦本能的方式來與他人溝通。

在說服的過程中，有些要素有其功效，但是卻不知道為何有效以及它們如何發揮效用。本書的研究，讓我們獲得以經驗為基礎的資訊。所有的揣摩、推測以及原理都是根據觀察與推斷而來。我們創造出來的訓練計畫成效達到了合理的水準。但是我們仍舊沒有真正探討到真正的核心。

本書不是探討大腦的運作過程與說服力。而是?讀者如何應用新獲得的知識。能真正協助讀者更成功地讓他人說出「好的」、「是的」、「沒問題」等重要字眼。本書作者為的就是讓您不僅能夠獲得突破性的資訊，而且更提供您一套完整的系統與過程，讓您可以獲得您想要的結果，讓您成功獲得他人的贊同，讓他人順應您的要求。

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Great work lives inside all of us.

The question is: Do we make the contributions we're capable of? Is our best work getting out there? Breaking through? Creating a difference the world loves?

We've long been told our ability to succeed depends on our IQ, talent, education level, gender, job title, or when and where we were born. Great Work turns that conventional thinking on its head to reveal that innovation can come from anyone, anywhere.

Especially you.

With insights from the largest-ever study of award-winning work, Great Work reveals five practical skills that will help you ideate, innovate, and deliver work that gets noticed and appreciated.

Great Work is filled with stories of real people in real jobs who did what was asked and then added something extra--a personal touch all their own--to deliver better-than-asked-for results. Their stories will inspire you to write your own page in the book of human progress.
