This book offers a glimpse into the wide-ranging 50-year career of the internationally renowned Hong Kong photographer/designer through his work in collages and photomontages. From his early album covers when he was an art director/designer for the music industry in New York, Los Angeles and London in the 1970’s, through his diverse international assignments and personal works, to his most recent exhibition in Hong Kong. The story encompasses the long journey from cut-and-paste collages to the computer-composited photomontages of dreamscapes in this Carnival of Dreams.In his introduction titled ‘The Man from Everywhere’, Pico Iyer writes: “For decades now, Basil Pao has been the global eye through which I’ve taken in almost every country, as clearly as the world within… I never know where to place Basil; I can’t get my head around him. Album-designer, loving father, covert Chan master—21st century Renaissance man—Basil is always bringing the many worlds inside him together to create so

本書特色★ 台灣健康城市聯盟策劃出版，知名國際健康城市學者李大拔教授( Prof Albert Lee )著作，推動台灣健康城市的發展與學習！★ 倡導「健康權」概念，提出「健康場所計畫」架構，政府應以改善群體健康為社會基礎，才能推動國家及經濟的持續發展。序▍中文版序──健康城市的持續發展／台灣健康城市聯盟香港中文大學李大拔教授 Prof Albert Lee 是著名的國際健康城市學者，長期擔任世界衛生組織西太平洋總部國際健康城市聯盟（AFHC）執行委員，多次前來台灣，給予台灣各縣市健康城市專業技術指導，是大家的好老師，也是好朋友。現在，他出版這一本《香港健康場所計畫：群體健康的持續發展》（The Healthy Settings Approach in Hong Kong: Sustainable Development for Population Health）專書，原書是英文版，記載香港各種場域，推動健康促進的經驗，他同意我們中文版的出版，絕對是我們推動健康城市重要的學習材料。李大拔教授特別指出：大多數民眾認為健康受到個人生活方式的影響，每個人應該為自己的健康負責。但其實個人的健康，與諸多複雜的環境與經濟因素相互影響，這些決定因素不只是醫療保健的問題，更是整個社會架構、公共治理的問題。在經歷過這次COVID-19全球疫情後，民眾應能明白，非衛生部門對於個人健康的影響是多麼重要。整個社會的健康，有賴於個人、家庭、學校、社區以及職場等每個場所的健康計畫是否完善。本書的「健康場所計畫」提供了一個全面性的社會架構，民眾因此得以在日常生活的脈絡之下，參與健康活動。除了基層醫療保健系統外，更強調連結各種場所，整合各個部門，為各個社會階層爭取資助，以改善各種健康危險因子。他更強調深化「健康權」，期望在力所能及的範圍中，讓全民享有最高程度的健康，減少健康不公平。民眾總以為經濟成長，成為已開發國家後，健康條件就會獲得改善，但其實應該以改善群體健康為基礎，經濟發展才有更妥善的後盾得以支持。健康場所計畫為促進全民健康與建立社會資本，提供了確實可行的範例。這都是台灣健康城市聯盟持續推動的重要工作，健康城市是一項持續性、周全性的工作，需要公私協力、跨領域合作，並且在各項場域實踐，以維護健康權。李大拔教授這一本專書，正是台灣可以學習參考的材料，是以樂為推廣。書籍簡介健康場所計畫的歷史悠久
