This lavish visual history—featuring over 150 new, full-colour illustrations—is a stunning introduction to House Targaryen, the iconic family at the heart of HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon.For hundreds of years, the Targaryens sat the Iron Throne of Westeros while their dragons ruled the skies. The story of the only family of dragonlords to survive Valyria’s Doom is a tale of twisty politics, alliances and betrayals, and acts both noble and craven. The Rise of the Dragon chronicles the creation and rise of Targaryen power in Westeros, covering the history first told in George R. R. Martin’s epic Fire & Blood, from Aegon Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros through to the infamous Dance of the Dragons—the bloody civil war that nearly undid Targaryen rule for good.Packed with all-new artwork, the Targaryens—and their dragons—come vividly to life in this deluxe reference book.

序：當我被詢問是否能為本書寫序言時，我必須承認，我的第一個念頭是：「這個領域真的還需要另一本書來敘述嗎？」 但在讀完它之後，我對於能為此書撰寫序言感到既榮幸且受寵若驚。讀者可能會先詢問這本體積相對較小的手冊是否能滿足相關的需求，且可能會再進一步的詢問它是否能將這些需求處理得很好，我想對於這兩個問題的答案都是正面的。 隨著醫學知識體系每五年左右的更新和倍數成長，無論是年輕或經驗豐富的整形外科醫師，必須將已經學會或易取得及理解的訊息繼續融會貫通，並使其呈指數增長。本書將當前的知識精煉為易於閱讀的指南，且幾乎涵蓋所有整形外科醫師在急診室可能遇到的緊急情況，或深夜及凌晨術後患者緊急情況的應對和處理。 作者群均是貝勒醫學院的一般整形外科醫師及整形外科專家，他們藉由自己的外科手術經驗及各種經歷中汲取資訊，並將這些知識濃縮為一本方便攜帶的小冊子，可以很輕鬆地在閒暇時或就醫之前隨時閱讀。很難找出本書沒有涵蓋的整形外科急症手術傷害或併發症處置，作者已經詳細說明了鑑別診斷的細節及整形外科醫師接到急診室電話時所必需進行的矯正處置步驟。關於治療的一般原則已有許多歷經時間考驗的參考文獻，都是之前住院醫師訓練及實際進行處置所學到的經驗，外科醫師提出有組織的治療計劃及迅速執行的能力，將使患者和其他參與治療這些患者的醫療人員充滿信心。本書的排版格式有利於讀者添加個人註解及技術註釋，此一貼心的設計將有助於他們在未來對類似傷害患者進行治療時提供必要的參考。 若我不特別介紹主要作者Jamal M. Bullocks博士，則是我的失職，他的能力和年輕學者的熱情將其他作者的思想及經驗融合在一起，使得本書對所有整形外科醫師、一般外科醫師和急診室醫師都具有重要的價值。 我謹建議那些可能認為自己已經了解大多數整形外科問題解答的資深整形外科醫師，儘管十年或二十年前出現的問題可能是相同的，但其解答（即現今的治療方式）可能會有所不同，而正因為這樣的差異，我們非常感謝本書作者所付出的時間及努力，為我們提供簡潔而實用的解答。Melvin Spira, MD, DDSDivision of Plastic SurgeryDepartment of SurgeryBaylor College of Medicine
