A picture book favourite, this is the dramatic and moving Cornish tale of a cat and a fisherman who brave the stormy seas to save their village.This is the stunningly illustrated story of the seaside village of Mousehole Cornwall, where Mowzer the cat lives happily with old fisherman Tom – Tom who rocks the rocking chair just right, and catches fresh fish for dinner every night. Their life is a happy one – until one terrible winter, the Great Storm-Cat comes clawing and snarling and leaping at the harbour walls, so that no boat can go out to sea to fish. Soon, with Christmas coming, there is no food left in Mousehole. It is then that Mowzer and Tom set out to brave the fury of the waves together, and discover that it might just need a cat’s perspective to understand – and tame – the ferocious ways of the Great Storm-Cat sea… Gently yet powerfully told, this incredibly moving story of bravery, sacrifice and companionship inspired by Cornish legend is sure to connect with readers of all

技術往往藏在看不見的細節裡，透過拆解、剝離、組裝、修復的步驟，了解大師名椅之所以是名椅的理由！ 審定　實踐大學工業產品設計學系 林曉瑛主任大師推薦　行一設計 彭文苑建築師木介設計主理人 黃家祥「究方社」（JOEFANGSTUDIO）創意總監 方序中設計觀察家 吳東龍 看不見的地方才是技術所在！本書針對被稱為大師名椅作介紹，並拆解它，將其座面剝離，再重新修復，與此同時，更深入地介紹每一把椅子的特徵以及設計師的靈感巧思。在這些名椅之中，最為有名的是吉歐龐堤的「超輕單椅」（Superleggera）、漢斯韋格納的「The Chair」（JH501）、「Y Chair」（CH24）、阿納雅各布森的「蛋椅」（Egg Chair）、「貝殼椅」（Series 7 Chair）或是芬尤的「45 Chair」（No.45）。除了上述眾所周知的名椅之外，還介紹了出自韋格納之手，卻鮮為人知的JH504，以及設計師或製造商不詳的紙繩編織折疊椅。要被譽為名椅，其中必有某些理由，可能我們對名椅都只感受到其造型美以及坐在上面的舒適感，但當你見證椅子的解體、修復、剝除椅面的過程之後，才能明白為什麼這些椅子如此美麗，才能深感設計師與製作者對工藝品、雕塑品的細膩精神。在我們從旁見證拆解與修復的過程時，需要熟知三個重點：．這些名椅應用了哪些技術，例如讓接榫加強強度的方法，無法從外觀了解的細節等。．使用的材料，諸如木材、五金的種類、座面或編織座面的材質等。．經年累月產生的變化。現今生活環境各類產品充斥，而有森林資源不斷減少以及環境汙染等問題源源而生，心中總有「如果不要再生產用完就丟的產品，而是生產能長久使用的產品」、「生產讓人願意修理，繼續使用的產品」，及「不要只是因為生產者想生產而製造產品」，或許是解決上述問題的方法之一。因此對於從事設計、製造與修理這類工作的人來說，「了解素材」以及「了解構造」絕對是缺一不可的事情。
