「立即表達」自我想法，是現在及未來最需要的能力。
無論是求職面試、開會討論、主管提問、企劃提案……
想要在職場中勝出，你必須懂得瞬間思考，說、寫出與眾不同的獨家觀點！

‧你的臉書都在轉載文章？要寫出自己的看法，總是有點困難？
‧開會討論，怎麼擠都只能說：「還好」、「沒意見」？
‧主管突然問：「你怎麼想？」是否能在10秒內提出看法？
‧對方忽然提出一篇報導、時事，是否有自信立即發表評論？

同事、主管甚至是朋友，多半從你網路發文、聊天、面試、會議及企劃提案中……
偷偷觀察你這個人有沒有想法。
沒有一個主管，會重用只懂得照本宣科、聽話辦事、工作等待他人指示的員工；
反過來說，只要10％帶有獨家觀點的「說、寫能力」，
就能讓別人覺得你「不太一樣」，工作上勢必比別人掌握更多機會。

但獨立思考、10秒內即答，並不是要你無中生有。
想要讓人忍不住讚賞：「這個觀點真精采」、「這個人有深度」，
日本知名企業教育大師、溝通專家──齋藤孝，要教你，
5天利用「平常就在做的事」，社群網站發文、看電視偷學、
運用即答思考技巧，開闢出新的想法！

A New York Times bestseller * Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction * Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize  

“This is a story at once intimate and global, as much about childhood friendship as international aid, as fascinated by the fate of an unemployed single mother as it is by the omnipotence of a world-class singer…Smith’s attention to the grace notes of friendship is as precise as ever…’Swing Time’ uses its extraordinary breadth and its syncopated structure to turn the issues of race and class in every direction…We finally have a big social novel nimble enough to keep all its diverse parts moving gracefully toward a vision of what really matters in this life when the music stops.”—Ron Charles, Washington Post

“A dance itself, syncopated, unexpected, and vital…Swing Time may not parse easily and fits no mold, but it is uncommonly full of life.” —Claire Messud, The New York Review of Books

每周銷售破萬本，強勢擠進亞馬遜暢銷TOP10！

權力的演變正在改變世界
人人都可以更有權力

本書做了幾項大膽預言：
1. 壟斷社會的「大巨頭」與新興的「微權力」之間將出現角力，「微權力」將逐漸取代傳統的社會結構。
2. 權力不單被分散，甚至被蠶食。當權者行使權力要更加克制，否則失勢的機會將會大大提高。
3. 權力不再只掌控在菁英手上；發明家、社運分子甚至恐怖分子的影響力將大大提升。
4. 「微權力」可以推翻政權、打倒壟斷事業、開發新市場。但也可能帶來混亂，令社會癱瘓。

PNBA 2017 Award Winner
One of the Best Books of 2016--Amazon
A Washington Post Notable Book of 2016
A Goodreads Choice Award Nominee
A Library Journal Top 10 Book of 2016
A BookPage Best Book of 2016

In the winter of 1885, decorated war hero Colonel Allen Forrester leads a small band of men on an expedition that has been deemed impossible: to venture up the Wolverine River and pierce the vast, untamed Alaska Territory. Leaving behind Sophie, his newly pregnant wife, Colonel Forrester records his extraordinary experiences in hopes that his journal will reach her if he doesn't return--once he passes beyond the edge of the known world, there's no telling what awaits him ...

"To the Bright Edge of the World moves seamlessly through different times and different voices to depict an often harrowing journey that leads the central characters to question all that they 'have known as real & true.' Ivey's novel is a dazzling depiction of love, endurance, courage, and wonder, and a worthy successor to The Snow Child." ―Ron Rash, author of Serena

"Beautifully told...a page-turner, a fascinating story that is broad in its scope as it is compassionate in its message...Ivey has created a world that is dangerous and beautiful, worrisome and satisfying, all in a novel that readers will not soon forget." ―Jim Carmin, The Miami Herald

"Powerful...Ivey is a gifted storyteller and a lyrical prose stylist...remarkable." ―Amy Greene, New York Times Book Review

"An epic adventure story that seems heir to the tradition of Melville's own sweeping and ambitious literary approach to the age-old struggle of humans versus nature...an absorbing and high-stakes read." ―Kathleen Rooney, The Chicago Tribune

★本書榮獲亞馬遜網路書店2017最佳商管書TOP20！

第四次工業革命正如海嘯般地席捲全球，
在這個新世界裡，不再是大魚吃小魚，
而是快魚吃慢魚！

將因機器人和人工智慧的興起，
導致510萬個工作消失 ！
和前三次工業革命全然不同，
第四次工業革命不僅改變我們的世界，
也改變了我們是誰！

蒸汽機的發明驅動了人類史上第一次工業革命；電力的使用帶來了第二次工業革命，半導體、電腦、網路的問世再度催生了第三次工業革命；隨著科技快速的進程，第四次工業革命也已經悄然開始，並且正以前所未見的速度席捲全球，徹底顛覆我們的生活、工作和互相關聯的方式，無論是規模、廣度，還是複雜程度，第四次工業革命都與人類過去經歷的變革截然不同。其中可植入技術、數位化身分、物聯網、3D列印、無人駕駛、人工智慧、機器人、區塊鏈、大數據、智慧城市等技術變革都將對全人類帶來顛覆性的影響。

本書作者為被視為全球經濟風向球的「世界經濟論壇」創辦人與執行主席克勞斯．施瓦布，他在本書中提醒，人類若無法做好因應這波科技海嘯的準備，機器人等技術創新，將導致大量工作消失，而最直接受衝擊的，就是中產階級。更重要的是，各種科技的匯流改變的不僅是我們的工作和生活，而是我們是誰！

The Gene: An Intimate History

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A Wellcome Book Prize Finalist
A New York Times Notable Book
A Washington Post and Seattle Times Best Book of the Year

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling author of The Emperor of All Maladies—a magnificent history of the gene and a response to the defining question of the future: What becomes of being human when we learn to “read” and “write” our own genetic information?

Siddhartha Mukherjee has a written a biography of the gene as deft, brilliant, and illuminating as his extraordinarily successful biography of cancer. Weaving science, social history, and personal narrative to tell us the story of one of the most important conceptual breakthroughs of modern times, Mukherjee animates the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices.

Throughout the narrative, the story of Mukherjee’s own family—with its tragic and bewildering history of mental illness—cuts like a bright, red line, reminding us of the many questions that hang over our ability to translate the science of genetics from the laboratory to the real world. In superb prose and with an instinct for the dramatic scene, he describes the centuries of research and experimentation—from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin, from Boveri and Morgan to Crick, Watson and Franklin, all the way through the revolutionary twenty-first century innovators who mapped the human genome.

As The New Yorker said of The Emperor of All Maladies, “It’s hard to think of many books for a general audience that have rendered any area of modern science and technology with such intelligence, accessibility, and compassion…An extraordinary achievement.” Riveting, revelatory, and magisterial history of a scientific idea coming to life, and an essential preparation for the moral complexity introduced by our ability to create or “write” the human genome, The Gene is a must-read for everyone concerned about the definition and future of humanity. This is the most crucial science of our time, intimately explained by a master.
