“A sweet, heart-squeezing story!” ― Jaleigh Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of The Mark of the DragonflyWhen seventh grade enemies research a missing set of jewels for a class project, they realize that the answers to the unsolved case might be much closer to home than they thought in this fun-filled mystery “as satisfying as hot soup on a cold day” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).If you told Sloane Osburn and Amelia Miller-Poe that they’d be hiding in their town cemetery from an evil mastermind, they would have been hard-pressed to believe you. If you also told them that person was intent on beating them to a cache of long-lost jewels using nothing more than a slingshot and wicked aim, they’d have been sure you got your facts wrong. Finally, if you told them they’d be doing all of this as friends…well, they would have been sure you needed medical attention.Whether through serendipity (really, really good luck) or zemblanity (really, really bad luck), someone tricked their

「舊世界無論獲得了什麼，都無法彌補在這場大戰中失去的一切。」讓我們重讀一戰前的歷史，重新思考我們的時代，試著讓人類的未來走向和平與自由暢銷著作《八月砲火》前傳兩座普立茲獎得主芭芭拉．塔克曼平生得意之作描繪一次大戰前歐美世界眾生相追究繁華表象之下，山雨欲來的戰爭線索 本書所描述的是一八九○到一九一四年，亦即第一次世界大戰爆發前的關鍵二十五年。此時的歐洲處於一個相對和平的時代，資本主義、科學技術，以及文化、藝術及生活方式等都在這個階段發展成熟，因此經常被稱為金色的美好年代（Belle Époque）。但芭芭拉．塔克曼指出，十九世紀是人類有史以來變化最快的時期，而此一前所未有的快速變遷，在十九世紀末、二十世紀初的這個時期到達了巔峰，少數特權階級享受著紙醉金迷的奢侈生活，下層階級則蓄積他們的痛苦、力量與仇恨。此一年代不全然僅有「信心、純真、舒適、穩定、安全與和平」，也同時存在「懷疑、恐懼、騷動、抗爭、暴力與仇恨」。不安定的因素正在和平的表象之下蟄伏、醞釀，埋下了戰爭的引信。書名《驕傲之塔》來自美國作家愛倫．坡（Edgar Allan Poe）著作中的這句話：從城市裡的驕傲之塔死神旁若無人地俯視一切作者以「驕傲之塔」作為一戰前夕歐洲與美國的寫照，並如此描寫當時的人們：在歐洲文明的偉大時代興建的這座驕傲之塔，是一座壯觀而熱情、富饒而美麗，同時擁有一座黑暗地窖的宏偉建築物。與後來的人相比，驕傲之塔的居民更自主，更自信，更有希望；更華麗，更鋪張，更優雅；更無憂無慮，更興高采烈，更樂於彼此的陪伴與交談，更不公義與更虛偽，更貧困與更匱乏，更感情用事，其中包括虛假的情感，更不容忍平庸，工作更有尊嚴，更徜徉於自然，更有熱忱。舊世界無論獲得了什麼，都無法彌補在這場大戰中失去的眾多事物。一戰前夕的人們渾然不知接下來的歷史大浪會將他們帶往何方，身為作者的芭芭拉．塔克曼，如同已預知小說結局的讀者，回望故事之中的眾生相。她無法出言警告，只能盡其可能地敘述這一切。當我們在這個時代以後來者的角度，眺望那個時代，更能強烈感受到當時的激越與凶險。本書分為八個獨立篇章，帶領讀者重返十九、二十世紀的交界――從英國到美國、法國、德國與海牙，主題包括：日漸衰微的愛德華時代貴族、歐洲與美國的無政府主義者、德國與理查．史特勞斯、法國的德雷福斯事件、海牙和平會議，以及英國與歐陸社會主義的起源，並且以一次世界大戰爆發前夕

人類對色彩的持續探尋，改變了我們看待世界的方式從凱利綠到千禧粉，各種豐富色彩總是為我們的世界增添風采。但人造色彩未必都能媲美千變萬化的自然色彩。要仿造出最鮮亮極致的自然色彩，需要歷經千年的非凡創新，以及科學與工藝之間饒富趣味的跨領域交流，才能讓我們打造與裝飾的世界，展現出最亮麗的外觀。在《全光譜》一書中，羅傑斯帶領讀者踏上一趟漫步全球之旅，沿著最早期人類製造顏色的足跡，一路追尋到今日與未來的數位合成色彩。讀者將看到人類祖先在洞窟裡將木炭搗成糊，絲路商人競相叫賣製作最為精良的陶瓷，織品藝術家破解色彩是如何混合的數世紀之謎，再飛躍到現代，一窺代價高昂的商業間諜行動，以及永遠重新改寫色彩規則的數位革命。羅傑斯透過與本書主題同樣精彩的文筆，打開一扇通往神奇奧茲王國之門，針對人類為了創造更豔麗奪目的世界，而展開橫跨古今中外的追尋之旅，分享了其中最為生動的故事。各界讚譽亞當．羅傑斯的著作《全光譜》就是你會想讀關於色彩的一本書——閃爍著藍寶石、金寶石、綠寶石、紅玉髓在內的所有寶石光芒，點綴著我們的周遭世界。但就如掛毯上的絲線，交織其中的遠不只如此，更包括歷史、科學，以及人類文化具有多種色調的彩虹光譜。出色的科學著作向來罕見，本書便是其一。——普立茲獎作家、《試毒小組》（The Poison Squad）與《落毒事件簿》（The Poisoners Handbook）作者　黛博拉．布魯姆（Deborah Blum）我很愛有人搖醒我，讓我看清自己在夢遊期間發生了什麼事。亞當．羅傑斯在本書中便做到了這點。他讓我知道，今日隨處可見的色彩都是源自我們發明的科技！我們發明出來的色彩！真是令人大開眼界！——《紐約時報》暢銷書《必然》（The Inevitable）作者　凱文．凱利（Kevin Kelly）這本極具人性之書，將帶領讀者踏上一趟關於色彩學的千變萬化世界之旅。這正是那種會讓你以全新角度看待一切的書籍之一——你會開始到處辨識哪裡用了什麼顏料，再回頭鑽研本書，發覺隱藏其後的智識之旅。——《紐約時報》暢銷書《10種物質改變世界》（Stuff Matters）與《液體》（Liquid Rules）作者　馬克．米奧多尼克（Mark Miodownik）本書是深入鑽研其主題的書籍之最，亞當．羅傑斯則是我最愛的科學作家。閱讀本書感覺就像長時間享用一頓令人垂涎三尺的美味大餐，用餐對象還是你認識最有趣
