'I started to write short pieces when I was living in a room too small to write a novel in.' So says Angela Carter of this collection, written during a period living in Toyko. These exotic, sensuous stories represent Carter's first major achievement in the short story form. Lush imaginary forests, a murderous puppet show and an expressionistic vision of Japan: each one instantly conjures an atmosphere, dark and luminous in turn, and from the recognisably daring imagination of one of the great twentieth-century stylists.

With his signature laugh-out-loud humor, world-famous comedian George Lopez launches a magical series inspired by his own colorful childhood and Latinx folklore.In this illustrated contemporary fantasy, twelve-year-old Jorge is lonely and resentful after being sent to live with his grandparents. His first day at his new school doesn’t go well after catching the attention of his belligerent principal and the school bullies, so Jorge might be a little desperate for a friend.But the only kid who shares his interest in junk food and games turns out to be a young chupacabra—a legendary monster whose kind is known for being bloodthirsty livestock killers. The truth is, Carter is anything but savage—he's kind, a good listener, and has great taste in sneakers. Being friends with a mythical creature should be amazing, but when local cattle turn up dead and his principal suspects the truth, Jorge is torn. Should he trust that his friend is innocent and protect him from exposure, or reveal his da

In the early work of John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), Henry James saw "the slightly 'uncanny' spectacle of a talent which on the threshold of its career has nothing more to learn." Sargent's talent, nay, genius was indeed uncanny, sustained with equal intensity through his famed society portraits, like the scandalous Madame X; his full-size showpieces, like The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit; his thousands of watercolors executed en plein air from Venice to Corfu to Maine to Montana; and his ambitious mural decorations for the public monuments of Boston.In Carter Ratcliff, Sargent has found a biographer and critic nearly his match in style and subtlety. Ratcliff expertly evokes the expatriate American milieu into which the artist was born, and offers penetrating insights into every phase of his career, every aspect of his work. Now, for the first time, this landmark monograph is offered in a special oversize format, with all of its 310 illustrations reproduced in stunning full color,

Young history buffs and celebrity fanatics alike will enjoy this humorous and irreverent introduction to King Tutankhamun written by Egyptologist and TV presenter Dr Chris Naunton.

They'll endure him bragging about his collection of blingy 18-carat gold sandals, and wonder how to discern fake news from the truth surrounding Tut's mysteriously premature death.Naunton's expert text is accompanied by Guilherme Karsten's illustrations, giving the boy King a contemporary make-over for celebrity-obsessed readers, and letting children in on all the juicy details of an extraordinary life. With 48 illustrations in colour

數學不應只是計算或公式，而是揭示宇宙結構與內在真理的語言。就像音樂或繪畫一樣，數學也是人類表達美的一種形式。----想像你上一堂美術課，只被教導如何粉刷柵欄，卻從未見過梵谷或畢卡索的畫作，甚至不知道他們的存在。這聽來難以置信，卻正是我們多數人學習數學的方式──因此，數學成了令人昏昏欲睡、乏味無趣的代名詞。但事實大不相同。在《愛與數學》這本充滿熱情的著作中，知名數學家愛德華・弗倫克爾向我們揭開數學的真實面貌──它不只是邏輯與公式的堆砌，更是一種蘊含著深刻美感與無窮創造力的藝術。他以親身經歷熱切訴說：數學並非遙不可及的學術象牙塔，而是我們每一個人都能接觸、感受與欣賞的宇宙語言，它能跨越文化、穿越時空，把人心緊緊連結在一起。《愛與數學》是一段雙重旅程的故事：一方面探索數學世界的神奇與優雅，另一方面講述一位年輕人──作者自己──如何深陷其中，燃燒生命追尋真理。弗倫克爾曾在充滿歧視的教育體系中奮戰不懈，最終躍升為當代最具影響力的數學家之一。他致力鑽研的，是過去半世紀最宏大也最深遠的數學構想──「朗蘭茲綱領」（the Langlands Program）。這項被譽為數學界「大一統理論」的計畫，讓各數學領域得以彼此對話、資源共享，解開像費馬大定理（Fermat's Last Theorem）那樣的千古難題。《愛與數學》的核心，是一則關於開啟全新思維之門的故事。它讓我們看見，數學不只是知識，而是一種豐富生命、深化世界理解的方式。這本書是一封熱情的邀請函，邀請你踏入那個隱而未見、充滿魔力的數學宇宙，重新發現這個世界的無限可能。----我不知道我是否曾經把「愛」和「數學」這兩個詞放在一起使用，但這本書改變了我的看法。弗倫克爾揭示了數字的客觀之美。這些數字，如同音符一般，獨立於我們的心靈而存在，並且邀請我們勇敢地探索其深度，以神祕的方式將其組合起來，敘述我們的故事。讀完這本書後，讓人忍不住想要放下一切，再次嘗試數學，參與這終極的奧祕。──克里斯．卡特（Chris Carter），美國科幻電視劇《X檔案》（X-Files）編劇這本書非常易讀，充滿了激情，描述了一些最令人興奮的想法。我強烈推薦這本書給所有對美充滿好奇的數學愛好者。──大衛．葛羅斯（David Gross），諾貝爾物理學獎得主《愛與數學》＝快節奏的冒險故事＋親密的回憶錄＋內部人士的敘述。探索破解現代數學核心的「羅塞塔石碑」。這

繼暢銷繪本《這個故事裡沒有大野狼》、《這個故事沒有龍喔》後，英國人氣童書作家 露•卡特（Lou Carter）又一經典繪本創作～從故事中，讓孩子學習關懷他人，和培養超越物質的價值觀～──────【價值觀判斷／轉念同理】兔子很喜歡他的新車，他迫不及待地開車上街，要向朋友們炫耀。但，當他看見朋友們的酷炫挖土機、多功能消防車，和不可思議的帆船後，為了超越他們，他便開始一次又一次的新車大改造，希望自己的新車，是街上最受注目的焦點……◎好評推薦「我是英國圖書館館員……我預料這本書將會是圖書館講故事時，最受歡迎的一本書。這本書講述了一隻好勝兔子的故事，他喜歡自己的新車，但同時又羨慕朋友們擁有的各種車輛。他對自己的汽車進行了一些有趣的改造，但最終他了解了友誼的真正含義，不再只會羨慕別人。」——亞馬遜網書讀者Patricia Garrett & 圖書館館員「這本書的內容講述關於車輛、發明和動物救援等有趣的主題。從主角兔子身上，我們可以學到很重要的一門課——去幫助別人，不要自私。適合3-8歲兒童。」——亞馬遜網書讀者K.J.Kelly◎引導閱讀 故事裡的兔子一直渴望擁有一台新車，他存了好久的錢，好不容易等到了買新車的這一天。當他拉風上路後，他第一個想到要把車子秀給大熊看，卻發現大熊開著一台挖土機！兔子也想要有挖土機的裝置，於是他翻箱倒櫃，找到了能模擬挖土機的工具。 開著2.0版本新車的兔子接著去找小狗，沒想到看見小狗竟然開著具有梯子和灑水器的消防車，這些配備又讓兔子心動了。於是他再次為車子設計梯子和灑水器，現在新車成了3.0版本，而兔子的下一站是找到鴨子…… 但是，無論到哪裡，兔子似乎都會看到比他的車子更酷炫的東西，這也讓他更急於改造和炫耀自己的升級車輛－－ 直到他開過高速公路，聽見所有動物朋友呼喊他的名字，請他一起幫忙解救困在橋上的小貓。兔子堅定地回絕了，因為他必須繼續趕路，和其他朋友展示自己的新車。但下一刻，兔子隨即因為自己自私的決定感到有點過意不去，而一回頭，他發現根本沒有朋友在看他的車子呀！ 這也讓兔子開始反思，這些酷炫東西存在的意義，就只有炫耀的功能嗎？而炫耀自己所擁有的物品這件事，真的有這麼重要嗎？最後，兔子想了一個很棒的計畫，使用那些酷炫的裝備，幫助大家一起成功解救小貓。希望藉由這部具活力又生動的作品，帶著孩子探索同儕比較、得失心的課題，以及思考友情

民主危機當下　全民必備基本政治常識 簡單易懂　史上最暢銷的政治入門書 輕鬆帶您走入政治世界 二十週年紀念版 面對近在咫尺，卻似乎一點都摸不透的政治黑洞 面對漫天飛舞，經常被濫用誤導的政治名詞 面對似是而非，政客舌燦蘭花般詭辯式的思考邏輯 政治究竟是什麼？ 本書試圖提供一種客觀的俯瞰視野 讓您可以輕鬆地擁有看透世局未來的敏銳眼光 3段式進階、10個基本概念、8組對立視野、100個關鍵詞 作為當代政治主流，在民主世界中，最弔詭又虛幻的景象無非是：一般人雖因為擁有了投票權，大大被拉近了與政治的距離，事實上，對相關運作的常識卻往往一知半解，甚至存在大量明顯之誤會，從而埋下彼此吵嚷不休的伏筆。 為了彌補這個落差，破解隱藏在政客們艱澀難懂修辭背後的密碼，本書試圖從人類社會自然演化的歷史角度出發，幫助讀者們輕鬆地瞭解「政治」生活的來源、制度設計的理性基礎，以及它到底在日常生活當中發揮了哪些影響力，更重要的是，我們又該如何透過正面理解政治，藉此掌握自己的未來。 政治真的沒那麼難懂！  猶太裔德國哲學家　馬克思（Karl Marx） 在任何時代中，統治階級的觀念往往正是主流觀念，這亦未控制社會上主要物質力量的階級，同時也掌握了主要的知識力量。 美國開國元勳　漢彌爾頓（Alexander Hamilton） 由於人愛好權力，因此若將權力賦予多數，多數一定會壓迫少數，反之若將權力賦予少數，少數也不會放過多數。 愛爾蘭裔英國政治家　柏克（Edmund Burke） 政治運作應遷就人性，而非人的理性，理性只是人性中的一部分，而且絕非是最大的部分。 美國前總統　卡特（Jimmy Carter） 利益團體在美國政治中是一個擾亂的因素，它扭曲了我們的目標，並且使國家利益不再是我們個別利益或特別利益的總和。

From her unique standpoint as singer-songwriter-scholar, Polly Paulusma examines the influences of Carter’s 1960s folk singing, unknown until now, on her prose writing. Recent critical attention has focused on Carter’s relationship with folk/fairy tales, but this book uses a newly available archive containing Carter’s folk song notes, books, LPs and recordings to change the debate, proving Carter performed folk songs. Placing this archive alongside the album sleeve notes Carter wrote and her diaries and essays, it reimagines Carter’s prose as a vehicle for the singing voice, and reveals a writing style imbued with ‘songfulness’ informed by her singing praxis.Reading Carter’s texts through songs she knew and sang, this book shows, from influences of rhythm, melodic shape, thematic focus, imagery, ‘voice’ and ‘breath’, how Carter steeped her writing with folk song’s features to produce ‘canorography’: song-infused prose. Concluding with a discussion of Carter’s profound influence on song
