杜甫一生的虛構自傳一個穿越了多個時代、多場戰火、多種語言的杜甫，帶著他的多重身影重返我們的生活現場。— 西川「世界偉大的隨筆家之一 」——《紐約時報》「一位隱蔽的文學領袖」My favorite essayist is Eliot Weinberger.His remarkable breadth of calm concern is impressive.—Gary Snyder (Pulitzer Prize Winner, 1975)­This is a book concerned with mortality, friendship, and regret.­The psyche looking back at its life. As such, The Life of Tu Fu sometimes feels like a poetic biography of my own life, or maybe yours.—Forrest Gander (Pulitzer Prize Winner, 2019)溫伯格巧妙地運用拼貼手法，從杜甫一千多首浩瀚的詩歌中擷取靈感，將其詩句、意象與情感重新編織成五十八首全新的詩篇。這些詩篇猶如一幅幅流動的畫卷，描繪出杜甫顛沛流離的一生，以及他所經歷的戰亂與瘟疫。儘管時空相隔千年，但在後疫情時代，我們或許更能體會杜甫詩歌中那種深刻的孤獨與蒼涼。這部作品不僅是對杜甫一生的致敬，也是對我們自身、對苦難和對人生短暫易逝的反思。Drawing inspirations from a vast oeuvre of more than a thousand poems, Eliot Weinberger has deftly composed a montage of ­fifty-eight poems derived and adapted from the lines, images, and feelings in Tu Fu’s poetry.

Two leaders in the field offer a compelling analysis of the current state of the art and reveal the steps we must take to achieve a robust artificial intelligence that can make our lives better.“Finally, a book that tells us what AI is, what AI is not, and what AI could become if only we are ambitious and creative enough.” —Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and author ofDeep ThinkingDespite the hype surrounding AI, creating an intelligence that rivals or exceeds human levels is far more complicated than we have been led to believe. Professors Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis have spent their careers at the forefront of AI research and have witnessed some of the greatest milestones in the field, but they argue that a computer beating a human in Jeopardy! does not signal that we are on the doorstep of fully autonomous cars or superintelligent machines. The achievements in the field thus far have occurred in closed systems with fixed sets of rules, and these approaches are too narro

★ 榮登《紐約時報》暢銷排行榜第一名！從她們的故事學習你的生命課題！許多人以為，女性在聖經中扮演的角色微不足道，事實上，女性在許多聖經故事裡都占有舉足輕重的地位。在本書中，作者列舉十六個女性，以兩兩配對的方式列出八道課題，從她們彼此之間的關聯、各自的生命經歷，使我們看見重要的人生課題和屬靈洞見。不論是拯救以色列全族的底波拉、以斯帖，或是陷入嫉妒爭競的拉結和利亞，作者以精彩的剖析，呈現聖經中不同處境下的女性所面臨的掙扎和挑戰：她們如何陷入絕望、痛苦，以及如何憑著信心、盼望和愛克服困境，活出得勝的生命。我們也看到神如何抬舉卑微的人，使那些活出信心典範的婦人在救恩故事中如明星般閃耀。藉由這些故事，我們能對聖經中的女人有更豐富的理解，從中學到珍貴的智慧與借鏡，也更加明白如何在自己的信心旅程中向前邁進。溫馨推薦：陸可鐸（Max Lucado），紐約時報暢銷作家、基督教協會巔峰獎得主蓋瑞．巧門（Gary Chapman），紐約時報暢銷作家、人際關係專家李・施特博（Lee Strobel），紐約時報暢銷作家、芝加哥論壇報獲獎法律編輯麥可・史密斯（Michael W.
