Owl wonders why everyone else in the forest sleeps at night, in this sweetly-illustrated story about how we learn to know ourselves. A splendid read for emerging readers, animal lovers, and fans of classics such as Winnie the Pooh, this book works both for bedtime and for budding lovers of adventure stories! Perfect for ages 4-8. In this thoughtful, refreshing, and lovingly illustrated picture book, Owl embarks on a quest to answer the question that's making him feel mixed up: why can't he fall asleep at night when all of the other animals in the forest are sleeping? Setting out on a quest to learn, Owl asks the squirrels, the rabbits, and even a bear! But alas, all the animals are asleep at night and too busy in the daytime to help Owl solve his problem. But this owl is determined to find out what's up with sleeping at night, and the answer might just surprise him . . .

A determined Owl builds strength and confidence in this medieval picture book about the real mettle of a hero: wits, humor, and heart. Since the day he hatched, Owl dreamed of becoming a real knight. He may not be the biggest or the strongest, but his sharp nocturnal instincts can help protect the castle, especially since many knights have recently gone missing. While holding guard during Knight Night Watch, Owl is faced with the ultimate trial--a frightening intruder. It's a daunting duel by any measure. But what Owl lacks in size, he makes up for in good ideas. Full of wordplay and optimism, this surprising display of bravery proves that cleverness (and friendship) can rule over brawn.

中央研究院副院長黃進興院士 【後現代主義與史學研究】全新改版 在二十世紀後現代主義的浪潮下 西方傳統史學節節敗退、面貌全非 與之相應的是逐步興起的後現代史學新論 西方史家如何回應這場後現代主義的挑戰？ ★詮釋「後現代主義」與「歷史學」的史學研究集大成者 ★中央研究院副院長──黃進興院士後現代史學研究精華 ★一部梳理西方史家如何回應後現代主義浪潮的經典之作 十九世紀是西方史家的黃金年代，史學網羅各個領域，是各個學科的重要泉源，而以科學史學著稱的蘭克史學，更是當時史學界的核心。然而，當二十世紀的後現代主義來襲時，史學界的形勢驟變，轉而成為眾學科的「附庸」；後現代學者宣稱的「歷史之死」宛如喪鐘般，迴盪於史學界中。 「後現代主義」是何方神聖？歷史學如何受到後現代主義影響？ ◎傳統史學的蛻變──後現代主義下西方史家的回應 二十世紀下半葉，發軔於建築、藝術等領域的後現代主義席捲史學界，本以為只是學術史上尋常的新舊交替，後現代主義卻是要全盤否定史學的存在！換句話說，在後現代主義者的眼中，講求史實的西方傳統史學將不復存在，甚至認為「歷史」不過是史家的語言遊戲。面對後現代主義的挑戰，西方史家如何應對？ 書中即以西方史家對後現代主義的回應為核心，闡述在「歷史之死」的後現代主義環境下，西方傳統史家如何抵禦後現代主義，並從中吸取理論、化為自用，為歷史學拓展出不一樣的道路。比如被視為後現代史學發源的海頓．懷特(Hayden White)，又或是有著「後現代史學祭酒」之名的傅柯(Michel Foucauli)。 在西方史家的奮鬥之下，熔後現代主義與歷史學的「後現代史學」問世，它逐漸脫去蘭克史學以來的實證史學，接納虛構的歷史。看似為史學開拓了新領域，卻也令史學陷入真實與虛構的拉扯之中。 因此，本書試圖檢討後現代主義對史學的影響，並梳理西方史家在這場衝擊之下，如何熔後現代主義與史學研究為一體、拓展史學新道路，帶領讀者一探後現代主義與歷史學之間的羈絆與聯繫。 ◎中國近代史學──「新史學」的誕生與來自西方史學的危機 除談論西方史家與後現代主義的關聯外，本書亦兼顧中文讀者的閱讀背景，從中參以中國史學議題，並援引西方史家的理論概念，為讀者梳理中國近代史學的轉變。 在清末變局之下，標榜著「經
