《Troubled》是一本動人且引人深思的回憶錄，講述Rob Henderson從破碎家庭、寄養制度到美國空軍，再到耶魯與劍橋求學的奮鬥歷程。他提出「奢侈信念」(luxury belief) 的觀念，揭示上層社會藉由炫耀進步思想來獲取地位，卻讓弱勢者承受代價。本書深刻描繪階級、家庭與身分的掙扎，令人動容。NATIONAL BESTSELLER In this "affecting...intriguing...heartbreaking" (Booklist) coming-of-age memoir, Rob Henderson vividly recounts growing up in foster care, enlisting in the US Air Force, attending elite universities, and pioneering the concept of "luxury beliefs"--ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class while inflicting costs on the less fortunate. Rob Henderson was born to a drug-addicted mother and a father he never met, ultimately shuttling between ten different foster homes in California. When he was adopted into a loving family, he hoped that life would finally be stable and safe. But divorce, tragedy, poverty, and violence marked his adolescent and teen years, propelling Henderson to join the military upon completing high school.

「同志生活無法教你這些／我就是明白未來是個十八世紀」香港詩人黃裕邦（Nicholas Wong）最新中譯詩集精選入圍美國「Lambda Literary Awards」的《Besiege Me》後同婚時代的臺北經驗，香港近年的城市變遷 超過半數全新創作，搶先原文曝光 █收錄詩人視覺藝術作品，全彩印刷32頁 █收錄史無前例最賤推薦本書沒有傳統的推薦序與推薦人，成書前於網路上邀請各種來路的陌生人，在低限的資訊下投稿，描述、議論、推理、恭維、詆毀他們想像中的《微賤》。參加者可以自在使用各種語言，一起塗黑這道虛擬的白牆。活動期間收到的文字如今已成為《微賤》的一部分，形成一張「違建」海報。被稱為「文學界導火線」的香港詩人黃裕邦（Nicholas Wong）的最新詩集中譯本《微賤》，部分內容精選自再度入圍美國「Lambda Literary Awards」文學獎的詩集《Besiege Me》，其中更收錄超過半數的全新詩作，包含作者在「臺北市駐市詩人」期間發想的〈請帖〉與贏得澳洲Peter Porter Poetry Prize詩歌獎的作品〈台北101〉等。作者在關注近年香港城市的劇烈變化時，不時可見繽紛的臺灣經驗：同婚通過了，有人想在婚禮上點播Jolin的〈親愛的對象〉，有人赴艋舺龍山寺，求一個像林柏宏的理想男友。《微賤》詩集也為所處的幾個城市的藝文風景留下紀錄，如台北當代藝術館的班克斯特展、文心藝所的Roni Horn個展等，可說是黃裕邦創作歷程中與臺灣互動最緊密的一本詩集。 詩集由敍事者幻想在台灣跟男友結婚，向父親發出喜帖，邀請父親出席婚宴開始。慢慢循線探索父親患肺病期間的父子關係，以及華人陽剛氣質（Chinese masculinity）如何運作其中。接著，他自家庭抽身，將酷兒視角擴展到生活在香港的不同微賤狀態，卻又逐漸浸入他的私人關係、性生活與空虛感，以致到詩集結尾，無力感與毀滅已重重地壓滿書頁。最後一首詩描寫在疫情期間約砲：「若你是閱讀老手／你該知道書頁／無法抗拒你的翻閱」──身體和書頁互為表裡，《微賤》於是化身一次閱讀身體的經驗。與一般翻譯書做法不同，《微賤》的翻譯由臺灣詩人陳柏煜與作者協力完成，在香港與臺灣的中文口語之間，取得可讀性與效果的平衡；黃裕邦甚至局部改寫「原文」，為求更

小到日常管理大到產品開發、布局事業版圖，沒有人知道所有問題的答案，也無法蒐集全資訊後才做決定，但成功的領導者懂得從「問對問題」中找解答！全球最完整的提問領導學經典，暢銷二十年，全新增訂版上市！如果你想了解業績為什麼無法達成、跨部門溝通總是遇到障礙、新計畫進度老是拖延、客戶或顧客抱怨連連、未來三到五年的策略是什麼、下一個商機在哪裡……那麼，你一定要先學會「問對問題」，並且鼓勵提問。如同Google前執行長艾瑞克．施密特接受《時代》雜誌訪問時所言：「我們用提問的方式來經營公司，而不是給予答案。」●管理大師及成功企業家們一致認為「提問」是最重要且最有力量的管理工具！管理大師 彼得．杜拉克指出：「過去的領導者可能是一個知道如何解答問題的人，但未來的領導者必將是一個知道如何提問的人。」奇異公司前總裁 傑克．威爾許認為：「真正問最多問題和最好問題的那些人，才是領導者。」戴爾電腦創辦人 麥克．戴爾相信：「問很多問題，可以讓你得到更多點子，而這些點子對競爭激烈的這一行格外重要。」福特汽車前執行長 唐諾．彼得森領悟：「多問一些對的問題，可以減少去找所有答案的需要。」《從A到A+》作者詹姆．柯林斯直陳：「從A到A+的領導方式，並非直接提供答案，而是不恥下問，這樣才能導引你做出最好的判斷。」●有好問題才有好領導，提問是找出突破性解決方案的核心！「我每天都試著做同一件事：提問。如果不提問，我可能會理解綜合情勢及問題，但是卻錯失了關鍵所在。」――查德．哈樂戴（Chad Holliday），杜邦（DuPont）公司董事長兼執行長豐田汽車教育員工每天要連續想五次「為什麼？」。這是運用因果關係的思考方式。如果員工思考為什麼，而且找到原因，他們會再度問自己為什麼，然後連續問五次。問完五次為什麼之後，他們就能仔細地分析原因。這種「問五次為什麼」的方法，對解決問題非常有效。美國創新領導中心（Center for Creative Leadership）曾針對近兩百位傑出企業家做研究，發現他們成功的關鍵，在於善於製造發問機會並懂得提問。這些聰明的領導者覺察到，單向地陳述論點會限縮工作者解決問題的能力，而提問的力量十分驚人，可以讓人思緒清晰，激發創意，指引出做事的新境界、新方向。於是他們用問問題的方式，幫助團隊從不同的視角看到問題的全貌，彼此傾聽，激盪出各種創意解答。更重要的是，透過對話與省思，凝聚共識、形

食物科學領域影響最深遠的經典「任何真正有實力的廚師，都不會不在手邊放一本哈洛德．馬基的大作」牛津大學物理學家暨食物愛好者尼可拉斯．克提（Nicholas Kurti）曾說：「人類文明的可悲，在於我們有能力著手測量金星的大氣溫度，而且還真的這麼做了，卻不知道舒芙蕾內部發生什麼反應。」直到哈洛德．馬基寫出《食物與廚藝》，在廚藝界投下一枚震撼彈，扭轉了這一切！以科學解釋烹飪變化，並非始於馬基，卻是因他才真正成為普及知識。在他影響下，人們不再滿足於創造美食、享受美食，更開始沉迷於探索食物真相——究竟是什麼，將生物組織轉化為人類舌尖上的美味？梅納反應、蛋白質變性，乃至肉類風味的多重來源等專業知識，也成為廚房裡耳熟能詳的概念，下廚的人，用來提升自己對食譜的掌握力，不下廚的人則據以品評餐桌上的食物，提升自己的感受力及舌尖體驗。然而，《食物與廚藝》的影響並不僅限於提供知識或提升理解，還為當代烹飪帶來了具體的變革與提升，催生出開創性的分子料理與科學廚房。甚至可以說，若沒有馬基，當代烹飪世界將截然不同。英國的Heston Blumenthal在創立米其林三星餐廳The Fat Duck時，便表示他主要受馬基啟發，從而打破傳統框架，創新出獨特的料理風格；美國米其林三星餐廳The French Laundry和Per Se的名廚Thomas Keller也表示，《食物與廚藝》是他最常參考的書籍，幫助他不斷精進烹飪技藝。「任何真正有實力的廚師，都不會不在手邊放一本哈洛德．馬基的大作……在《食物與廚藝》問世之前，烹飪的法則由傳統、迷信和教條所支配。而馬基懷抱理性與天生的求知欲，開啟了科學之光，驀然間，一切變得清晰可見。」時代雜誌將他列為世界百大影響力人物時，如此描述他的影響力。從未有哪位作家，能同時喚醒科學家的理性思維，讓烹飪的變化變得前所未有地清晰透徹；又懷抱廚師的無盡好奇，在我們視為理所當然的日常食物中，挖掘出那些隱藏已久卻主宰味覺體驗的科學真相；更以文學家的筆觸，將冷峻的科學發現與祖傳的食物知識融為一體，讀來既令人眼界大開，又俯拾皆是詩意的感官描述。 所有哺乳動物都能為後代分泌乳汁，但為何只有少數哺乳動物的乳能為人類所用？  蛋為何是「陽光折射出的生命」？為何能讓廚師做出結構最變化多端的料理？ 在分子的層面上，是哪些肌肉特性讓某些部位比其他部分更美味，讓人類欲罷不能？ 為什麼魚肉
