獲得「第十四屆香港書獎」
遙憶念舊、戀土懷鄉、睹物思人,尋找失去了的過去,尋找一去不返的童年……既是本書的主題,更是一種心態與情調。
本書選錄了20位現當代文學名家共36篇文章,描述了中國鄉村的變革,社會歷史的變遷,以及傳統鄉村與現代城市的衝突與矛盾,還抒發了作者深刻的感情。這些城鄉書寫展現了北京、上海、青島、南京、揚州等城市的不同個性,除具有獨特的美學價值外,還富有特殊的民俗學價值。
作者在輕談淺說之間,道出「鄉風」與「巿聲」是兩種地域文明的對抗,它們消長起伏,反映着中國的變化。

Goodreads Choice winner for Nonfiction 2021 and instant #1 bestseller! A deeply moving collection of personal essays from John Green, the author of The Fault in Our Stars and Turtles All the Way Down.
“The perfect book for right now.” –People
“The Anthropocene Reviewed is essential to the human conversation.” –Library Journal, starred review
The Anthropocene is the current geologic age, in which humans have profoundly reshaped the planet and its biodiversity. In this remarkable symphony of essays adapted and expanded from his groundbreaking podcast, bestselling author John Green reviews different facets of the human-centered planet on a five-star scale—from the QWERTY keyboard and sunsets to Canada geese and Penguins of Madagascar.
Funny, complex, and rich with detail, the reviews chart the contradictions of contemporary humanity. As a species, we are both far too powerful and not nearly powerful enough, a paradox that came into sharp focus as we faced a global pandemic that both separated us and bound us together.
John Green’s gift for storytelling shines throughout this masterful collection. The Anthropocene Reviewed is a open-hearted exploration of the paths we forge and an unironic celebration of falling in love with the world.

Fathoms: The World in the Whale
Rebecca Giggs

WINNER OF THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION
WINNER OF THE NIB LITERARY AWARD
FINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE FOR NONFICTION
HIGHLY COMMENDED IN THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR WRITING ON GLOBAL CONSERVATION
‘There is a kind of hauntedness in wild animals today: a spectre related to environmental change … Our fear is that the unseen spirits that move in them are ours. Once more, animals are a moral force.’
When Rebecca Giggs encountered a humpback whale stranded on her local beach in Australia, she began to wonder how the lives of whales might shed light on the condition of our seas. How do whales experience environmental change? Has our connection to these fabled animals been transformed by technology? What future awaits us, and them? And what does it mean to write about nature in the midst of an ecological crisis?
In Fathoms: the world in the whale, Giggs blends natural history, philosophy, and science to explore these questions with clarity and hope. In lively, inventive prose, she introduces us to whales so rare they have never been named; she tells us of the astonishing variety found in whale sounds, and of whale ‘pop’ songs that sweep across hemispheres. She takes us into the deeps to discover that one whale’s death can spark a great flourishing of creatures. We travel to Japan to board whaling ships, examine the uncanny charisma of these magnificent mammals, and confront the plastic pollution now pervading their underwater environment.
In the spirit of Rachel Carson and John Berger, Fathoms is a work of profound insight and wonder. It marks the arrival of an essential new voice in narrative nonfiction and provides us with a powerful, surprising, and compelling view of some of the most urgent issues of our time.

故事裡的心理學

~從故事啟航的內在探索之旅~
★以奠基於榮格的深度心理學解析「愛麗絲夢遊仙境」、「小王子」、「黑貓」、「綠野仙蹤」等11個故事的象徵。
★釐清「童年、青少年、中年、以及老年」4大人生階段的心靈任務。
「那些我們視之為童話或兒童青少年文學的故事至少向我們提供了兩座橋樑,
一座通往我以外的他人,一座通往內心的自己。」
我們能夠很容易地從故事得到向外的啟發,
而通往內在的途徑,則能靠心理學來幫我們指認出來。
在故事之中,我們會與自己相逢,乃至與更大的整體相逢。
誠摯地邀請每個大人一起用深度及存在心理學的眼光重讀一遍書裡的故事,
在掩卷之後,走入自我的個體化旅程。
在上集 (潛意識與永恆少年),【夢與潛意識】、【永恆少年】這兩大篇章,
為我們指出「孩子如何跨越至青春期」,「青少年期的重要原型」等成長時期的重要主題。
在下集 (陰影與個體化),【陰影】、【個體化】這兩大篇章,
指出「中年危機的首要功課」,「人生下半場的最終追尋」等,
這些屬於成人的重要任務。
