FROM HAN KANG, WINNER OF THE 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
“[Han Kang’s] intense poetic prose . . . exposes the fragility of human life.”—The Nobel Committee for Literature, in the citation for the Nobel Prize
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE
“Ferocious.”—The New York Times Book Review (Ten Best Books of the Year)
“Both terrifying and terrific.”—Lauren Groff
“Provocative [and] shocking.”—The Washington Post
Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself.
Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman’s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.

本書強調領導統御的基本功,是作者長年協助超過十萬名領導者的經驗淬鍊而成,從自我領導、團隊領導、組織領導三大核心出發,簡短精要的52堂課,從論述到重點摘要,並提供你實際行動的計畫,無論你是領導階層、位居管理職,或是有志於更上一層樓、想成為未來領導人的你,本書都是必讀的領導指南!
自律,是成為優秀領導人的第一步!
彼得‧杜拉克說過;「管理是把事情做對,領導則是做對的事情」
成功領導者的共同特質,在於立定目標之後,
能擁有貫徹執行的心態與行動,這一切都仰賴堅持不懈的自我要求和約束。
領導者的最大困難,在於能不能管理好自己!
每個領導人都有很多事要做,但優秀的領導人,會找出「少數要事」,專注其中。
這些重要的事只會占行動的20%,卻會帶來80%的成果。
想提高你的工作效益,有效領導團隊,你的第一步就是找出這些事,並且用自律的態度徹底執行!
邁向真正的領導,這些你做到了嗎?
‧管好你的憂慮
憂慮無法解決問題,只會讓焦躁從你身上傳染給別人,影響團隊士氣。
‧別擋自己的路
成長的最大障礙就是自己,列出你的障礙清單,提出具體的消除辦法。
‧規畫每一天
俗云:「沒計畫就是計畫著失敗!」每天制訂三個目標,就能趕走無謂的不安。
‧換上工作時該有的表情
55%的溝通來自於臉部表情及肢體語言,別讓言語外的舉止透露出不該出現的訊息。
‧不要越線
無論是對下屬、顧客,還是廠商,務必畫下清楚界線,否則麻煩將接踵而至。
‧讓你的團隊成員都知道自己的權責
建立權責系統,賞罰分明,讓優良的表現得到肯定、錯誤的行為得到反省。
‧經常追問為什麼
對真相抱持開放態度。藉由追問為什麼,時時挑戰組織的規範,激發團隊潛能。
‧新想法是要創造未來,而不是造成混亂
新點子不是靈機一動說了就算,從發想和規畫,都要制式化且取得團隊共識!
寫給現在領導人或是未來想成為領導人的你!

Open Access in Theory and Practice: The Theory-Practice Relationship and Openness
Stephen Pinfield, Simon Wakeling, David Bawden, and Lyn Robinson
online access from Ebook Central Open Access Complete

This book explores the theory and practice of open access, including various mechanisms and models, such as Read and Publish agreements that are driving the movement forward.
Open Access in Theory and Practice investigates the theory-practice relationship in the domain of open access publication and dissemination of research outputs.
Drawing on detailed analysis of the literature and current practice in OA, as well as data collected in detailed interviews with practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, the book discusses what constitutes ‘theory’, and how the role of theory is perceived by both theorists and practitioners. Exploring the ways theory and practice have interacted in the development of OA, the authors discuss what this reveals about the nature of the OA phenomenon itself and the theory-practice relationship.
Open Access in Theory and Practice contributes to a better understanding of OA and, as such, should be of great interest to academics, researchers, and students working in the fields of information science, publishing studies, science communication, higher education policy, business, and economics. The book also makes an important contribution to the debate of the relationship between theory and practice in information science, and more widely across different fields of the social sciences and humanities.

「新界」原居民的合法傳統權益 (The Lawful Traditional Rights and Interests of the Indigenous Inhabitants of the “New Territories")

近年來,圍繞新界「丁權」的「傳統權益」問題,香港社會時有爭論。所謂「丁權」,是指香港新界原居民的男性後人(即「男丁」),按殖民地時代沿用至今的「小型屋宇政策」(丁屋政策),獲准在新界的私人土地上興建房屋居住。《基本法》第四十條規定:「『新界』原居民的合法傳統權益受香港特別行政區的保護。」但對於何謂「新界原居民的合法傳統權益」,香港特別行政區應如何保護此類權益,《基本法》第四十條並沒有明示。因此,「丁權」的存廢爭議,焦點也就落在其是否《基本法》所指的新界原居民合法傳統權益之上。
「丁權」涉及新界原居民的利益和《基本法》的解釋,特區政府一直未敢妄動。本書作者特以此為主題,嘗試解釋《基本法》第四十條的學理、規範內涵,以釐清「合法傳統權益」的內容。書中提出了一系列的問題:「新界」和原居民由何而來?傳統權益包括哪些?《基本法》對原居民的權益作了何種保障?原居民權益是特權嗎?誰有權解釋《基本法》第四十條?適宜的解釋方法為何?「丁權」屬於合法傳統權益嗎?調整「丁屋政策」非修改《基本法》不可嗎?
「丁權」問題多年來已為特區政府造地及香港居民帶來困擾及不滿。作者透過回顧大量文獻,逐一解答以上問題,同時考察了《基本法》第四十條的起草過程和歷史背景,以探明立法原意,梳理了「新界」原居民權益可能面臨的憲制挑戰,冀能為此議題提供客觀、中立的法學研究,並嘗試探尋特區政府在其自治權限內調整此一「新界」政策的空間。對《基本法》及新界研究有興趣的人士,本書值得參考。

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER
The differentiating mindset and habits that help you turn insight into action.
When you put learning at the center of everything you do, you grow your career, your leadership, your relationships, and your joy and fulfillment in life. But even for people who are naturally curious and interested in solving problems, being an effective learner who can turn their learning into action takes insight and practice.
With infectious enthusiasm and optimism, David Novak shows you how to master active learning. A trailer-park kid who lived in twenty-three states before entering high school, Novak rapidly ascended the ranks at PepsiCo to become cofounder and CEO of one of the largest corporations in the world, the global restaurant icon Yum! Brands (KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut). And he credits active learning with getting him there. This compilation of wisdom and practical habits from Novak's life and from some of the most successful leaders in the world—CEOs from many industries, military and political leaders, sports greats, experts, and coaches—is your active-learning practice manual. Chapter by chapter, Novak and his all-star roster of leaders share how they've climbed to the highest levels in their fields.
Through stories of wins and losses, missteps and miracle saves, challenges tackled, and problems solved, Novak shows you all the ways, big and small, that you can become an active learner. A leadership devotional for the modern age, How Leaders Learn will inspire you to reach new levels of success in your own life and work.
