The COVID-19 pandemic was a global crisis that affected millions of lives and brought mental health challenges to the forefront. In Hong Kong, the situation was worsened by uniquely strict COVID-19 regulations, quarantine measures, and travel restrictions. The mental health issues associated with the pandemic did not end with the lifting of the mask mandate. On the contrary, the repercussions are only just beginning to surface and their impact will be felt for years to come.This eye-opening book tells the stories of ordinary Hongkongers who faced extraordinary challenges during the pandemic. Through a blend of first-person accounts, psychological insights, and hard data, it offers a compelling and accessible exploration of the toll that the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on mental health in Hong Kong.However, this book is not only a chronicle of suffering; it is also a guide to healing and hope. It offers practical advice on how to overcome the mental health issues caused by the pandemic,

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Education comes the fourth volume of the Temeraire series, as the Napoleonic Wars bring Will Laurence and Temeraire to Africa in search of aid. "Temeraire is a dragon for the ages.”―Terry BrooksTragedy has struck His Majety's Aerial Corps, whose magnificent fleet of fighting dragons and their human captains valiantly defend England's shores against the encroaching armies of Napoleon Bonaparte. An epidemic of unknown origin and no known cure is decimating the noble dragons' ranks―forcing the hopelessly stricken into quarantine. Now only Temeraire and a pack of newly recruited dragons remain uninfected―and stand as the only means of an airborne defense against France's ever bolder sorties. Bonaparte's dragons are already harrowing Britain's ships at sea. Only one recourse remains: Temeraire and his captain, Will Laurence, must take wing to Africa, whose shores may hold the cure to the mysterious and deadly contagion. On this mission

The Cambridge Companion to Literature and the Environment is an authoritative guide to the exciting new interdisciplinary field of environmental literary criticism. The collection traces the development of ecocriticism from its origins in European pastoral literature and offers fifteen rigorous but accessible essays on the present state of environmental literary scholarship. Contributions from leading experts in the field probe a range of issues, including the place of the human within nature, ecofeminism and gender, engagements with European philosophy and the biological sciences, critical animal studies, postcolonialism, posthumanism, and climate change. A chronology of key publications and bibliography provide ample resources for further reading, making The Cambridge Companion to Literature and the Environment an essential guide for students, teachers, and scholars working in this rapidly developing area of study.

這套廣受推崇的《費曼物理學講義》，源自費曼對教學的一場實驗。內容涵蓋牛頓力學、相對論與量子理論，以淺白、生動的方式介紹物理核心概念，是入門學習與珍藏閱讀的經典之作。"The whole thing was basically an experiment," Richard Feynman said late in his career, looking back on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be hugely successful, spawning publications that have remained definitive and introductory to physics for decades. Ranging from the basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics, Feynman’s lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight.Timeless and collectible, the lectures are essential reading, not just for students of physics but for anyone seeking an introduction to the field from the inimitable Feynman.

隔離的歷史，就是一部公衛發展史也是一部關於恐懼、濫權與獵巫的歷史隔離從來不曾消失，未來更將成為常態你我隨時都可能成為下一個被歧視的「帶原者」 後疫情時代必備讀物結合田野調查、公衛、歷史與社會學，全面理解隔離的社會心理與意義！――○――臺灣大學公共衛生學院教授 詹長權 好評推薦――○――「隔離」（Quarantine）源自義大利文「quarantena」，意思是「四十天」。人類對抗瘟疫最古老的回應，就是把「可能染疫」的人和「健康的人」隔開。隔離是人類面對未知的本能反應，卻也涉及監控、收容和控制，成為剝奪人權的手段。本書的基本假設是：因為人類是混亂的、有缺陷的、自私自利的存在，隔離過去一直存在我們的歷史裡，也會是我們未來的一部分。有效管理人口的隔離措施，被證明是控制新的疾病、降低死亡率，以及避免經濟和社會崩潰的最好方法，雖然至今仍然有人心存懷疑。本書起源於調查歷史上的隔離措施，直到Covid-19爆發，這段歷史瞬間成為現在式。作者以歷史寫作和田野調查的方法，採訪各地醫院和城市，並且回顧歷史遺址，細述瘟疫和隔離或封城的種種問題和面向。從1377年黑死病爆發，在杜布洛夫尼克（Dubrovnik）的第一次封城，一路談到今日的方艙醫院、炭疽郵件與太空污染。並指出：從古到今隔離的失敗，都是來自人們對於隔離本身的恐懼。後疫情時代，隔離已經成為常態。在危急狀態下如何管控人口、個人應該以什麼樣的態度來面對，都是必須面對的議題。本書的翔實調查與分析，能夠帶給社會一個指引。各界讚譽「兩位作者為這個主題帶來了令人印象深刻的廣泛涉獵，不僅涉及傳染病，在他們雄心勃勃而又無縫的敘述中，更涵蓋了政治、農業、監視甚至外太空。」――Jennifer Szalai，《紐約時報書評》「本書之所以引人注目，是因為他們的研究深度，以及堅信隔離是一種強大而危險的武器，必須在未來更明智地使用……作者的文筆引人入勝，除了來源註釋之外幾乎沒有學術賣弄，這是一本異常強大的書。」――Roger Ekirch，《華爾街日報》「閱讀這本嚴謹周密的書，可帶給我們一些與直覺相反的安慰，它將過去18個月的與世隔絕和不確定性賦予了脈絡……令人無法放下的書。」――安娜・奎因，NPR.org「讀一本關於「隔離」的書，這可能是你今年最不想做的事情……但這本書卻讓我深深沉迷。它挖掘這個看似理所當然

Until the middle of the nineteenth century, quarantine laws in all Western European nations mandated the detention of every inbound trader, traveller, soldier, sailor, merchant, missionary, letter, and trade good arriving from the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Most of these quarantines occurred in large, ominous fortresses in Mediterranean port cities. Alex Chase-Levenson examines Britain's engagement with this Mediterranean border regime from multiple angles. He explores how quarantine practice laid the foundations for the state provision of public health and constituted an early example of European integration. Situated at the intersection of political, cultural, diplomatic, and medical history, The Yellow Flag captures the texture of quarantine as an experience, its power as an administrative precedent, and its novelty as an example of a continental border built from the ground up by low-level bureaucrats.

In April 2020, Bloomberg CityLab journalists Laura Bliss and Jessica Martin asked readers to submit homemade maps of their lives during the coronavirus pandemic. The response was illuminating and inspiring. The 400+ maps and accompanying stories received served as windows into what individuals around the world were experiencing during the crisis and its resonant social consequences. Collectively, these works showed how coronavirus has transformed the places we live, and our relationships to them. In The Quarantine Atlas, Bliss distills these stunning submissions and pairs them with essays by journalists and authors, as well as notes from the original mapmakers. The result is an enduring visual record of this unprecedented moment in human history. It is also a celebration of the act of mapping and the ways maps can help us connect and heal from our shared experience.

Charles Darwin's words first appeared in print as a student at Christ's College, Cambridge in 1829, and in almost every subsequent year of his life he published essays, articles, letters to editors, or other brief works. These shorter publications contain a wealth of valuable material. They represent an important part of the Darwin visible to the Victorian public, alongside his ever present sense of humour, and reveal an even wider variety of his scientific interests and abilities, which continued to his final days. This book brings together all known shorter publications and printed items Darwin wrote during his lifetime, including his first and his last publications, and the first publication, with A. R. Wallace, of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. With over seventy newly discovered items, the book is fully edited and annotated, and contains original illustrations and a comprehensive bibliography.

Within the criminal justice system, one of the most prominent justifications for legal punishment is retributivism. The retributive justification of legal punishment maintains that wrongdoers are morally responsible for their actions and deserve to be punished in proportion to their wrongdoing. This book argues against retributivism and develops a viable alternative that is both ethically defensible and practical. Introducing six distinct reasons for rejecting retributivism, Gregg D. Caruso contends that it is unclear that agents possess the kind of free will and moral responsibility needed to justify this view of punishment. While a number of alternatives to retributivism exist - including consequentialist deterrence, educational, and communicative theories - they have ethical problems of their own. Moving beyond existing theories, Caruso presents a new non-retributive approach called the public health-quarantine model. In stark contrast to retributivism, the public health-quarantine
