Shortlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award, The 100-Year Life explores how living to 100 will have a profound effect on society and the economy, and result in a complete restructuring of everyone's professional and personal lives.

Drawing on the unique pairing of their experience in psychology and economics, Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott offer an analysis to help you rethink retirement, your finances, your education, your career, and your relationships to create a fulfilling 100-year life.

Many of us have been raised on the traditional notion of a three-stage approach to our working lives: education, followed by work and then retirement. But this well-established pathway is already beginning to collapse--life expectancy is rising, final-salary pensions are vanishing, and increasing numbers of people are juggling multiple careers. Whether you are 18, 45, or 60, you will need to do things very differently from previous generations and learn to structure your life in completely new ways.

The 100-Year Life is a wake-up call that describes the choices and options that you will face in the age of longevity. It is also fundamentally a call to action for individuals, politicians, firms, and governments and offers the clearest demonstration that a 100-year life can be a wonderful and inspiring one.

劉克襄獲得2019聯合報文學大獎;《溪澗的旅次》是評審推薦代表作之一。

劉克襄說：「《牧羊少年奇幻之旅》裡小男孩旅行多年，去尋找寶藏，最後才發現，原來寶藏就在自家的腳下。」細細品味作者對每一次行旅的觀察和寫作，句句顯露他對自然旅行、自然教育的熱愛。帶孩子徜徉山水，無須跋涉遠方，就近探索也能得到一方天地的啟示。

追隨他在溪澗的王國賞鳥的旅次，感覺也跟著溪鳥一直不斷移動尋覓食物；閱讀他在住家附近對小綠山的觀測紀錄，令人彷彿經歷了他們父子的探險，看到麻雀、褐頭鷦鶯在芒花間飛躍穿梭；＜旅次札記＞中，作者描述站崗的時候，對岸走出一位十歲的小女孩，以及手持細長竹枝、邊哭邊擦淚的男童，詢問後才知道，爸爸要他們一天捉二十隻紅尾伯勞……

本書收錄三十四篇劉克襄二十年來的精選文章，看似知性散文的質地，卻時常透露出感性的層面，內容不乏詩的情懷，也充滿對生態問題的省思。透過他平實的文字和獨特的觀點，我們得以用不同角度欣賞萬物之美，聆聽他與台灣這塊土地和人物的精采對話。且讓我們跟著作者綠色旅遊的足跡，穿越溪流，背起行囊，來一趟活潑有趣的生物觀察之旅吧！

If on a Winter's Night a Traveler

Italo Calvino imagines a novel capable of endless mutations in this intricately crafted story about writing and readers.

If on a Winter's Night a Traveler turns out to be not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another.

每一天，都是幸福的發現！

快樂就是……

一個週五的夜晚、一句來自陌生人的讚美、一首帶你回到往日時光的歌曲、一道清爽的陽光灑進你的窗、一口香甜的吻在狹小的車裡擺盪，甚至是一顆新鮮的檸檬！

可愛又充滿魅力的插圖佐以妙趣橫生的短句，重新拾回生活的熱情與甜蜜。

晴天讀了心情更美麗，陰天讀著覺得溫馨，雨天讀後揮別憂鬱；難過就翻一翻，開心時看一看！

陪伴你走過分分秒秒、度過春夏秋冬，永遠守候與提醒──

日常裡的簡單快樂，就是專屬於你的小幸福。

WINNER OF THE 2019 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRY
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2018 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD
Publishers Weekly Best Poetry Book of 2018

Forrest Gander’s first book of poems since his Pulitzer finalist Core Samples from the World: a startling look through loss, grief, and regret into the exquisite nature of intimacy

Drawing from his experience as a translator, Forrest Gander includes in the first, powerfully elegiac section a version of a poem by the Spanish mystical poet St. John of the Cross. He continues with a long multilingual poem examining the syncretic geological and cultural history of the U.S. border with Mexico. The poems of the third section―a moving transcription of Gander’s efforts to address his mother dying of Alzheimer’s―rise from the page like hymns, transforming slowly from reverence to revelation. Gander has been called one of our most formally restless poets, and these new poems express a characteristically tensile energy and, as one critic noted, “the most eclectic diction since Hart Crane.”
