這一次，不談書，不寫導讀，還原為散文家唐諾自身。
近取諸身：哥哥、同學與編輯；
遠取諸物：富翁、網球手與拉麵師傅。
深度就在表面，名字即是實相。
是最具企圖，也最深情的一次命名。

這一次，將以下身分打碎和泥重塑：編輯、球評、推理小說導讀、業餘古文字愛好者、專業讀書人、博學雜食者、小說家的教練、大導演的諍友……，還原為書寫者唐諾自身，專注如刺蝟，通達似狐狸，言志兼抒情，雄辯亦溫柔。在台灣，很久沒有看見這種「強悍而美麗」的大散文，旁徵博引卻不枯燥乏味，冷眼嘲諷底下有著一副熱心腸，時而深沉曲繞，不厭其煩再三辯證；時而直抒胸臆，用起大白話，字字句句鑿進你心坎底。

這一次，不談書，不特地談一本書；不評論作家，不為他人作嫁；不依傍一種主義，不主張一樣學說；主角不是班雅明、不是卡爾維諾、不是朱天文，也不是波赫士（雖則總如暗夜中忽明忽滅地螢火蟲縈繞不去），眾神退散，撥雲見日，走來的是這樣一個謙卑之人：「是為了看懂，多看懂一些，而不是成為。」──〈棋士〉。

這一次，是唐諾最無邊界、無框限的一次書寫。雕刻時光，近取諸身：如〈哥哥〉、〈同學與家人〉、〈少尉〉、〈編輯〉、〈小說家〉。

寫給大家的西洋美術史

蔣勳 著
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

……「中國美術史」是對自身傳統文化的了解，「西洋美術史」則是打開一扇通向世界的窗口。借助這一扇窗口，眺望和瀏覽世界不同文化的美的觀念、材料、技法；借助這一扇窗口，省思人類共同的美的嚮往與創造。

「西洋」是一個頗籠統的名稱。「西洋」似乎已經專指歐洲，特別是西歐的範圍。

因此，這本書也以地中海區域的古代開始寫起。無論是北非的埃及、南歐的希臘、西部亞洲的波斯，乃至於義大利、西班牙、法國......，大多圍繞著地中海區域發展。

地中海四周的文化活動，雖然民族不同，政權不同，社會結構也不同，但自上古時代開始，不乏彼此的交互影響與傳承，形成一脈相成的歐美美術的來源……

Why do the poor borrow to save? Why do they miss out on free life-saving immunizations, but pay for unnecessary drugs? In Poor Economics, Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo, two practical visionaries working toward ending world poverty, answer these questions from the ground. In a book the Wall Street Journal called “marvelous, rewarding,” the authors tell how the stress of living on less than 99 cents per day encourages the poor to make questionable decisions that feed—not fight—poverty. The result is a radical rethinking of the economics of poverty that offers a ringside view of the lives of the world’s poorest, and shows that creating a world without poverty begins with understanding the daily decisions facing the poor.

check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of the most influential Latin American writers of the twentieth century. His unique literary creativity is rooted in the history of the region, with all its social and political implications.

In this beautifully written examination of Garcia Marquez and his work, Gene Bell-Villada traces the major forces that have shaped the Colombian novelist and describes his life, his personality, and his political opinions. He considers Garcia Marquez's place in world literature and analyzes his short fiction and all of his novels from the great and complex One Hundred Years of Solitude—a cultural phenomenon the likes of which we have seldom seen—through Love in the Time of Cholera. He shows why Garcia Marquez has achieved a confluence of high art and popular success that is virtually unique in the twentieth century.

Bell-Villada examines the narrative works of Garcia Marquez for their historical and human content, for their literary technique and structure, and for their expert use of fantasy, ribaldry, humor, and satire. He describes Garcia Marquez as a global phenomenon and as a local boy, as a Nobel Laureate and as a Latin American Everyman, as a political writer and as a novelist of love.

The book will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers—generalists who enjoy his novels, teachers and students, and literary specialists and Latin Americanists investigating the culture and politics of the region.

加西亞‧馬爾克斯（台譯︰馬奎斯）以小說作品創建了一個自己的世界，一個濃縮的宇宙，其中喧囂紛亂卻又生動可信的現實，映射了一片大陸及其人民的富足與貧困。——諾貝爾文學獎頒獎辭

《百年孤獨》是魔幻現實主義文學的代表作，描寫了布恩迪亞家族七代人的傳奇故事，以及加勒比海沿岸小鎮馬孔多的百年興衰，反映了拉丁美洲一個世紀以來風雲變幻的歷史。作品融入神話傳說、民間故事、宗教典故等神秘因素，巧妙地糅合了現實與虛幻，展現出一個瑰麗的想像世界，成為20世紀最重要的經典文學巨著之一。1982年加西亞‧馬爾克斯（台譯︰馬奎斯）獲得諾貝爾文學獎，奠定世界級文學大師的地位，很大程度上乃是憑借《百年孤獨》的巨大影響。

 加西亞‧馬爾克斯（Gabriel Garcia Marquez）1927年出生於哥倫比亞馬格達萊納海濱小鎮阿拉卡塔卡。童年與外祖父母一起生活。1936年隨父母遷居蘇克雷。1947年考入波哥大國立大學。1948年因內戰輟學，進入報界。1955年出版《枯枝敗葉》。六十年代初移居墨西哥。1967年《百年孤獨》問世。1982年獲諾貝爾文學獎。

《高情商領導》根據幾十年來世界頂尖公司和組織之中的分析成果，作者們向我們說明，那些能夠引起人們共鳴的領導者——不論他們是首席執行官還是經理，是教練還是政客——在出人頭地的過程之中，憑借的不僅是技巧和聰明，而且要運用諸如心靈相通與自知之明這樣的手段和其他人溝通聯繫的情感智慧方面的能力。而且，根據實際情況的需要，他們運用了多達六種領導風格——從幻想到訓練到採取行動——並且根據情況需要靈活地在各種風格之間變換。現在，由著名的情商研究專家理查德・博亞茲和安妮・麥基與戈爾曼團隊合作，探究情感智慧在領導藝術中所扮演的角色，揭開在組織的成敗與“高情商領導”之間的神經科學方面的聯繫。作者們認為，領導的情感是富有感染力的，如果一位領導傳遞的是力量和熱情，那麼一個組織就能夠繁榮；如果一位領導傳遞的是消極的，不和諧的情感信息，那麼組織就會失去正確的方向。這種突破性的概念促使領導們按照正確的方向積極調動，推進人們的情緒，以便對公司的盈利或者公司戰略產生一種正面的影響。

Impatient Optimist: Bill Gates in His Own Words

Edited by Lisa Rogak
online access from Books24x7
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Bill Gates, the founder and former CEO of Microsoft, has been a revered, and occasionally controversial, worldwide business icon for more than three decades.

Recognized by most as an ingenious visionary, and painted by some as a tyrannical, less-than-scrupulous empire builder, Gates has had an unignorable impact on the growth of digital technology in daily life over the past 30 years. Even his sharpest critics have to acknowledge the obvious: Gates helped spearhead one of the greatest revolutions in modern history by seizing on the importance of software to the rise of the personal computer, along the way turning an arcane, specialized technology into a commonplace tool for the office and home.

Gates has long been ranked as one of the world’s wealthiest men--which gave him a name recognition far greater than that of most CEOs--and businesspeople of all stripes have looked to him as a role model, using his words and business strategies to help create, inspire, and grow their own companies. After he stopped running Microsoft's day-to-day operations in 2008 to devote himself full-time to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a kinder, gentler Gates began to emerge. As a result, people actively involved in the philanthropic world, whether in professional, part-time, or personal capacities, began to develop a new appreciation for the man.

Bill Gates’s second act is no less compelling than his first. And whether you’re interested in his personal life or looking for inspiration to drive you forward in your own business endeavors, Impatient Optimist: Bill Gates in His Own Words has much to offer. As the tech giants who distinguished the turn of the 21st century shape public life in ways that outstrip the efforts of the previous century's titans of industry, we look to figures like Gates for inspiration as one of America's greatest business icons. This book will surely feed the world's curiosity about one of the most important leaders of the digital age.

China's Urban Billion: The Story Behind the Biggest Migration in Human History

Tom Miller 
online access from ProQuest EBook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

By 2030, China's cities will be home to 1 billion people one in every eight people on earth. What kind of lives will China's urban billion lead? And what will China's cities be like?

Over the past thirty years, China's urban population expanded by 500 million people, and is on track to swell by a further 300 million by 2030. Hundreds of millions of these new urban residents are rural migrants, who lead second-class lives without access to urban benefits. Even those lucky citizens who live in modern tower blocks must put up with clogged roads, polluted skies and cityscapes of unremitting ugliness. The rapid expansion of urban China is astonishing, but new policies are urgently needed to create healthier cities.

Combining on-the-ground reportage and up-to-date research, this pivotal book explains why China has failed to reap many of the economic and social benefits of urbanization, and suggests how these problems can be resolved. If its leaders get urbanization right, China will surpass the United States and cement its position as the world's largest economy. But if they get it wrong, China could spend the next twenty years languishing in middle-income torpor, its cities pockmarked by giant slums.

《道德的人與不道德的社會》名著譯叢作者R.尼布爾，美國當代最著名的基督教哲學家，一生著述甚豐，本書是他的代表作之一，系統闡述了他的倫理學和政治學觀點。作者認為，在不可避免的人類分裂及沖突面前，集團主義的殘酷，理性主義者和社會科學者的無能都加劇了人類經濟鬥爭和政治鬥爭帶來的悲劇，道德的人在這不道德的社會中能否生存下，成了我們當代面臨的最大問題。

 《道德的人與不道德的社會》集中地體現了作者應用基督教倫理思想對現實社會的分析和研究。

 在《道德的人與不道德的社會》中，作者首次提出了必須在個人的社會道德行為與社會群體(包括國家的、種族的、經濟的社會群體)的社會道德行為之間作出嚴格的區別，並根據這一區別說明那些總是讓純粹個人道德觀念感到困惑難堪的政治策略的必要性和存在的理由。

Physics and Technology for Future Presidents: An Introduction to the Essential Physics Every World Leader Needs to Know

Richard A. Muller 
online access from ProQuest Ebook Central
check holdings in CityU LibraryFind

Physics and Technology for Future Presidents contains the essential physics that students need in order to understand today's core science and technology issues, and to become the next generation of world leaders. From the physics of energy to climate change, and from spy technology to quantum computers, this is the only textbook to focus on the modern physics affecting the decisions of political leaders and CEOs and, consequently, the lives of every citizen. How practical are alternative energy sources? Can satellites really read license plates from space? What is the quantum physics behind iPods and supermarket scanners? And how much should we fear a terrorist nuke? This lively book empowers students possessing any level of scientific background with the tools they need to make informed decisions and to argue their views persuasively with anyone--expert or otherwise.

Based on Richard Muller's renowned course at Berkeley, the book explores critical physics topics: energy and power, atoms and heat, gravity and space, nuclei and radioactivity, chain reactions and atomic bombs, electricity and magnetism, waves, light, invisible light, climate change, quantum physics, and relativity. Muller engages readers through many intriguing examples, helpful facts to remember, a fun-to-read text, and an emphasis on real-world problems rather than mathematical computation.

日本人憑什麼

．日本人憑什麼以一個小小島國敢向中國乃至世界宣戰。
．二次世界大戰結束幾乎被化為灰燼的日本，憑什麼在三、四十年的時間以經濟重登世界舞台。
．日本人憑什麼敢爭「釣魚台」是他們的？
．一把破銅爛鐵的「武士刀」真有如此的威力嗎？

……四百年來，日本人一直把中國作為假想敵反復研究、琢磨，早期日本對華侵略的思想、方略的設計者並不是在朝的政府官員，而是在野的民間學者、文化人。中國人為什麼不可以把日本作為假想敵研究?早在1928年戴季陶在《日本人》一書中就大聲疾呼中國人加強對日本的對策研究。中國的學者應該用開放的心胸去剖析日本，尤其要對日本的國民性下苦功夫研究，「思想上的閉關自守」和「智(知)識上的義和團」使得中國從近代以來不斷受氣挨打，付出了血的代價。

本書就是一本從文化學的角度研究日本國民性的作品。作者博采眾家之說，分析了形成日本民族凝聚力的原因、日本民族性格和心理特點、日本人的亞洲政策形成和重點所在、日本的國家戰略和國民狀態、以及中日關係的前景等。本書作者既嚴厲斥責了日本民族的霸道邏輯和野蠻根性，也充分肯定了其銳意進取和奮力爭強的意識，對於中國人來說，日本這個咄咄逼人的鄰居最大的價值就是：它是一面鏡子，其成敗得失都可資中國人鏡鑑。

佛洛伊德讀張愛玲

佛洛伊德與張愛玲，一個是西方驚世駭俗的精神分析大師，一個是中國引領風潮的小說家；一個是男性本位，一個是女性立場；一個強調本能與文明的二元對立，一個愛蔥綠配桃紅，講究參差對照。 佛洛伊德與張愛玲，兩人都對凡人抱持興趣，都擅於挖掘人性的幽深，都被視為孤高自負。佛洛伊德喜歡文學，理論中援引文學作品總是信手拈來；張愛玲喜歡借用精神分析，駕馭亂倫變態成熟老練，性作隱流，處處夢境，字裡行間飄散佛洛伊德的氣味。 本書從佛洛伊德的觀點來閱讀張愛玲其人其作，分為夢境歇斯底里、伊底帕斯情結、自戀、戀物五個單元，最後以死亡本能的體現、現代文明的壓抑、自我分裂的迷惘、強迫重複的復歸總結佛洛伊德視野下的張愛玲。

此書所論的皆以古代文獻語言中的詞彙為依據。這並不是一本考證著作，然從衣冠器物形制到典章禮儀民俗，介紹所及，都有詞義分析，皆具文獻例證，實不乏精到的考證。從語言實際出發，發掘漢語詞彙的文化積蘊，注重語言學的應用性，為讀者解決常見、急需解決的問題，是《中國古代衣食住行》最重要的治學方法。《中國古代衣食住行》實際上體現了關於語言和文化關係的兩個重要思想︰一是語言是文化最重要的載體，二是文化主要凝聚於詞彙。

Stranded in the frozen Antarctic sea for nearly two years, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his team of 27 polar explorers endured extreme temperatures, hazardous ice, dwindling food, and complete isolation. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, the group remained cohesive, congenial, and mercifully alive─a fact that speaks not just to luck but to an unparalleled feat of leadership. Drawing on this amazing story, "Leading at The Edge" demonstrates the importance of a strong leader in times of adversity, uncertainty, and change. The book reveals 10 timeless leadership lessons that show readers how to: instill optimism while staying grounded in reality; have the courage to step up to risks worth taking; consistently reinforce the team message; set a personal example; find something to celebrate and something to laugh about; and, never give up. Part adventure tale, part leadership guide, the second edition features additional lessons, new case studies of the strategies in action, tools to uncover and resolve conflicts, and expanded resources. An updated epilogue compares the leadership styles of the famous polar explorers Shackleton, Amundsen, and Scott. Today's leaders have much to learn from this gripping account of survival against all odds. "Leading at The Edge" will help them bring order to chaos-and achieve success in the face of adversity.

In 2050 there will be 9.3 billion people alive - compared with 7 billion today - and the number will still be rising.

And, in 2050 it should be clear whether we are alone in the universe. What other megachanges can we expect - and what will their impact be? This comprehensive and compelling book will cover the most significant trends that are shaping the coming decades, with each of its twenty chapters elegantly and authoritatively outlined by Economist contributors, and rich in supporting facts and figures. It will chart the rise and fall of fertility rates across continents; how energy resources will change in light of new technology, and how different nations will deal with major developments in science and warfare.
