「這本書具有魔力，遠勝近期所有討論時間的出版品。」──德國《焦點》雜誌
時間是什麼？從哪裡來、又要流向何方？

「時間究竟是什麼？沒有人問我，我倒清楚，有人問我，我想說明，便茫然不解了。」──奧古斯丁，《懺悔錄》
為什麼無聊的時候，總是度秒如年，快樂的時候，時間卻又倏忽即逝？
時鐘的刻度呈現的只是客觀的時間衡量標準，
是其中發生的事件改變了我們對時間的主觀感受，
而時間的社會化與金錢化，更讓我們的世界彷彿不斷加速快轉。

德國當代哲學大師薩弗蘭斯基帶領我們走進時間的迷宮，
巧妙交織哲學、文學、歷史、藝術、科學和個人省思，以生命的各個切面來了解時間，
從無聊、憂慮的時間，一直到社會化、世界、宇宙的時間，
探索時間到底對我們做了什麼，而我們又用時間創造出什麼。
人類縱然無法左右時間的流向，卻能與時間玩場遊戲，
用創作的靈光來留住永恆的瞬間。

The Implications of Brexit for East Asia

This book is the first comprehensive exploration of the impact Brexit might have on both Britain’s and the EU’s role in a rising East Asia. From the internationalization of the renminbi to Hong Kong's fraught political status quo, and from former British colonies exploring their place in the world to America's place in East Asia in the Trump era, the EU plays an influential role in Asia today. However, much of this derives from Britain’s role and interests, even as Asian models were explicitly cited as models for post-Brexit Britain, particularly the Singaporean model. This book will be of value to scholars, policymakers, and journalists seeking to understand what role the EU and Britain will play in the Asian century.

請帶我穿越這片海洋 : 記敘利亞、伊拉克、阿富汗、北非難民, 以及跨地中海的悲劇航程

他們為什麼不留下來，為自己的國家奮戰到底？
為什麼那些難民父母自己不工作，卻讓小孩負責打工賺錢養家？
明明是難民，竟然人手一支手機，也有辦法付給人蛇好幾萬美元？
橫越地中海的那些「死亡之船」上，究竟都發生了什麼事？

自2011年爆發內戰以來，敘利亞人民平均壽命整整降低了20年，760萬人流離失所，400萬人逃出敘利亞、成了你我口中的「難民」。

從兩伊戰爭到最近的內戰，伊拉克有4％的人口「被消滅了」；2014年初，約250萬伊拉克人在ISIS的武裝攻擊下逃離家園……

這波「第二次世界大戰以來最大的難民潮」，已經成了一齣日常的悲劇，淹沒在每分每秒攫取我們注意力的大小即時事件中。但如果他們不再只是一個數字，如果你可以聽見他們的故事，你會知道他們和我們沒什麼不同......

權力爭奪、戰火洗禮、帝國殖民、獨立與開放、文化影響……
越南的歷史就是世界大歷史的縮影
跳脫越戰世代史學窠臼，抗衡越共對歷史詮釋的壟斷
史學家高夏運用越南文、法文、英文等多語史料，在《越南：世界史的失語者》一書中重建越南歷史多元完整的面貌

2017年榮獲
- 卓越歷史著作獎──坎迪爾獎（Cundill Prize）
- 美國歷史學會費正清獎（The John K. Fairbank Prize）

一本以「越南為中心」史觀的集大成巨作
高夏：「把越南歷史寫成勝利者獨享的故事，已經不再有其必要。」

文安立（Odd Arne Westad）：想對越南歷史有一次精確而全面性評估的人，讀這本書就對了。

芮納‧米德（Rana Mitter）：以宏觀角度審視越南，讓越南在讀者心目中不再只是冷戰期間已經幾乎淡忘的陳年舊事。

羅吉法爾（Fredrik Logevall）：精闢、公正、人道色彩濃厚……在這個議題上，這本書必將成為經典之作。

《華爾街日報》：讀者若想找一本簡潔、有見識而又淺顯易讀的書，了解複雜而多變的越南現代史，這本書是最佳選項。
