An in-depth anthropological study of the eating habits and culinary practices throughout Hong Kong’s rapidly shifting cultural spheres.

As cornerstones of cultural identity formation, food cultures and regional cuisine distinctly reflects the complex geopolitical forces that shaped Hong Kong. As the region’s history is woven through national power struggles and colonial rulership, the foodways of Hong Kong often reflect the real-time dialogue between shifting populations, cultural forces, and volatile economies. Hong Kong Foodways examines the social relations, cultural currents, and economies of food production that shape the region’s food culture through different periods of social and political development. This book advances anthropological inquiries into the fastest-changing society in East Asia by addressing issues concerning identity, migration, consumerism, globalization, and the invention of local cuisines.

★ AQ逆商理論奠基之作 ★
★ 《財星》500大企業、各國政府組織、頂尖奧運選手實證的高抗挫心法 ★
★ 結合認知心理學、心理神經免疫學和神經生理學的強大韌性思維鍛鍊 ★

儘管聰明才智和能力相當，有些人卓越頂尖，有些人則平庸度過一生。
「逆商」就是最好的答案。

‧為什麼許多有天賦、高智商的人，卻遲遲未能發揮潛力？
‧為什麼有些企業家敢孤注一擲，其他企業家卻選擇放棄？
‧為什麼有些組織或機構在競爭中勝出，其他組織或機構則遭逢潰敗？

　◤逆商，全方位的成功預測指標◢

那些脫穎而出、與眾不同的各界翹楚，與容易卻步、半途而廢，甚至一開始就放棄的凡夫俗子，究竟差在哪裡……在這瞬息萬變的AI時代，生活快速變化使得許多人幾乎喘不過氣，結果就是整個社會彌漫絕望的無助感。

史托茲博士根據19年研究與10年應用的成果，認為如果我們能夠衡量和強化對於逆境的反應，不僅可提升生產力和績效表現，甚至有助身心健康，進而使人生充滿意義。

影響逆商的五個面向：

˙控制Control
你覺得自己對於現在遇到的逆境有多少控制力？
˙來源Origin
你覺得現在遇到的逆境，是源自什麼人或什麼事？
˙歸屬Ownership
你覺得現在遇到的逆境，你在多大程度上需要承擔？
˙波及範圍Reach
你覺得現在遇到的逆境，對生活的影響會達到什麼程度？
˙持久性Endurance
你覺得現在遇到的逆境會持續多久，以及造成逆境的原因會持續多久？

史托茲博士的逆商提升訓練方法不僅適用於個人生活，也廣泛應用於工作職場、校園、政府部門，以及奧運賽場。

書中更提供一套逆境反應量表，無論你是學生、職場上班族還是組織領導者，都能從中獲取如何化困局為轉機，讓自己不斷精進的必要能力。

A thoroughly updated edition of a beloved classic that has guided generations of researchers in conducting effective and meaningful research.

With more than a million copies sold since its first publication, The Craft of Research has helped generations of researchers at every level—from high-school students and first-year undergraduates to advanced graduate students to researchers in business and government. Conceived by seasoned researchers and educators Wayne C. Booth, Gregory G. Colomb, and Joseph M. Williams, this fundamental work explains how to choose significant topics, pose genuine and productive questions, find and evaluate sources, build sound and compelling arguments, and convey those arguments effectively to others.

While preserving the book’s proven approach to the research process, as well as its general structure and accessible voice, this new edition acknowledges the many ways research is conducted and communicated today. Thoroughly revised by Joseph Bizup and William T. FitzGerald, it recognizes that research may lead to a product other than a paper—or no product at all—and includes a new chapter about effective presentations. It features fresh examples from a variety of fields that will appeal to today’s students and other readers. It also accounts for new technologies used in research and offers basic guidelines for the appropriate use of generative AI. And it ends with an expanded chapter on ethics that addresses researchers’ broader obligations to their research communities and audiences as well as systemic questions about ethical research practices.

“A fascinating examination of a feature of human nature that all of us have, most of us deplore (at least in others), and few of us understand.”
—Steven Pinker, New York Times bestselling author of Rationality and Enlightenment Now

"An entertaining examination of the underlying reasons behind our attraction to the macabre."
—The New York Times Book Review

The leading expert on the science behind morbid curiosity explains our spooky, gory, and macabre fascinations

What makes us peek at a car wreck or binge-watch true crime shows late into the night? Why are some of us drawn to horror movies while others shudder at the thought? In Morbidly Curious, scientist Coltan Scrivner takes readers on a thrilling journey into the psychology of morbid curiosity, uncovering why we can’t resist the macabre. From grisly serial killers to spine-chilling paranormal stories, Scrivner reveals the psychological forces that compel us to explore our darkest fears—and explains how this proclivity is more than just a quirk. It’s a powerful survival instinct, helping us mentally prepare for real-world threats, all from the safety of our imaginations.

Blending fascinating insights and cutting-edge research at haunted houses across the world, Scrivner makes a powerful argument for the value of playing with fear and embracing the gruesome. Whether you're a horror fan yourself or just want to better understand the true crime craze, Morbidly Curious will open your eyes to the hidden benefits of exploring the dark side of human nature.
