在本書中，Sarah Wynn‑Williams 以其任職於 Facebook（現 Meta）全球公共政策部門的經歷，提供了一部大膽直言且不畏權勢的內部回憶錄。她生動地記述了與馬克．祖克柏（Mark Zuckerberg）及雪柔．桑德伯格（Sheryl Sandberg）的交手過程，並深切剖析自己在平衡母親身分的同時，如何在「挺身而進」（Lean In）的職場文化中掙扎求存。書中更揭露了令人震驚的決策失誤－從政治操弄、言論審查，到在緬甸煽動暴力與仇恨的災難性後果。本書筆觸犀利、帶著黑色幽默，且讀來令人不寒而慄。這部回憶錄敲響了警鐘：揭示了不受約束的權力如何蠶食理想，並摧毀人們的生活。''Amazing: of all the books in all the world Mr Free Speech Zuckerberg wants to ban, it’s the one about him'' Marina Hyde, Guardian''Jaw-dropping . . .

「黑洞能殺死我們，而且手法千奇百怪、慘絕人寰。但總的來說，我們之所以存在，或許都要歸功於它們。」什麼是空間？什麼是時間？宇宙從何而來？人類亙古以來之大哉問的答案，或許就隱藏在科學最大的謎團中――黑洞八段追尋的故事，跨越百年時光見證最神祕的天體如何從備受冷落到登上宇宙舞台的中央 在人類所有的奇思怪想中，最不可思議的莫過於黑洞――宇宙中一個邊界分明的洞，萬物皆可墜入，無一能夠脫逃；一個重力場強大無比的洞，就連光都會被捕捉，受其牢牢掌控；一個能夠彎曲空間、扭轉時間的洞。 黑洞作為宇宙中最怪異的存在，藏著無數的未解之迷，它的神祕莫測成功吸引了普羅大眾的關注。二〇一五年，我們「聽見」了黑洞誕生的啼聲；兩年後，人類達成了拍攝出第一張黑洞照片的里程碑。這距離「黑洞」這個名詞出現於世，只過去了短短半個世紀；距離這個天體的概念被首次提出，也不過一個世紀的光陰。 然而，在這過去一個世紀的大部分時間裡，黑洞其實都不被科學界主流承認，甚至曾被認為荒謬到連科幻小說都不屑一顧。它之所以能夠「發光發熱」，是出於許多科學家對真理的不懈追求，他們懷著力排眾議的膽識，提出非比尋常的證據，最終一步步推翻所有質疑，證實了這個非比尋常天體的存在，也發現其背後或許藏著能讓我們理解宇宙和自身存在的關鍵。 本書作者、前物理學家馬庫斯．卓恩，透過走訪許多在人類探究黑洞歷程中作出關鍵貢獻的科學家，譜寫出一段引人入勝的追尋之旅。黑洞絕非宇宙中的罕見異類，而是無處不在――它是宇宙的元老，是最早出現的天體之一；它是星系的種子，與之一同茁壯成長，構成今天宇宙的模樣；它更可能是生命的主宰，其規模和吸積速率會影響空間中有否製造宜居環境的原料。我們之所以得以存活於地球上、閱讀這些文字，也許正是因為黑洞的存在。❏各界推薦「引人入勝、節奏明快的敘述，講述科學家如何在相對晚近的時間――而且有時不甘不願――才終於承認黑洞的存在。」――《泰晤士報》（The Times）「扣人心弦的好書。」――BBC《Sky at Night》雜誌「極具詩意。」――《紐約時報》（New York Times）「卓恩的寫作彷彿是在與其他人的對話。」――《新科學人》（New Scientist）「在所有頂尖科普作家之中，卓恩的風格最為親切，能把複雜的科學寫得既簡單又平易近人。」――布萊恩．克雷格（Brian Clegg）｜《閃電就是會打在同一個地方！》（

★《沒有名字的老人》《遺失的靈魂》《大小兄弟》波蘭插畫家尤安娜．康哲友最新絕美繪本！★充滿詩意和寓意的繪本，將讀者淹沒在如雲朵般的畫面中，令人流連忘返。「這個地方沒有湖泊，也沒有河川或溪流。水不流動，積在一汪汪深水坑裡，被困在爛泥巴裡，在泥濘中昏睡。這裡只有沼澤。」風格鮮明獨特、圖畫纖細深邃的波蘭插畫家尤安娜．康哲友，深受各國讀者喜愛，也經常受邀和不同文字作者合作繪本。繼描繪諾貝爾文學獎得主朵卡萩的《遺失的靈魂》之後，這次她和出身數學教師的法國童書作家吉爾．鮑姆合作，畫出了一本美到令人屏息的作品。曾說過「圖像不應該重複文字已經說過的事」的尤安娜，在書一開頭就以連續的全景畫面和相簿般的畫面切片將讀者吸入有如披頭四名曲〈生命中的一天〉（A Day in the Life）的氛圍之中。你看到彷彿不同時間的湖面光影，時時變化、但一日復一日。書名頁之後畫風轉成淡淡的鉛筆和色鉛筆，故事敘述進入另一個脈絡：「大家習慣待在水裡，像鯉魚那樣生活。有些日子沒有半個人開口說話。在沒有地平線的村子裡，沉默是最好的陪伴。日子就這樣過。」於是人們習慣了目光始終向下凝視――在這個泥濘的世界裡，那是唯一可能的注視方式。然而，在某個夜晚，發生了一件非比尋常的事：光和橙色色塊布滿天空。在那一刻，居民們第一次抬頭將目光投向高處，而那些直到此刻才被好奇心喚醒的孩子們，率先浮上水面想一探究竟（一翻頁，尤安娜插入了一幅仰頭望見陽光從樹梢撒下的美麗光景）。孩子們發現了一個奇特的人，正讓石頭在水面上彈跳，發出美妙動聽的旋律。以「打水漂」這個意象為引，原本充斥著泥濘、沉默和哀傷的世界，被驚奇與美感所取代――直到那壯麗的終章。插畫家尤安娜・康哲友的色鉛筆筆觸，為法國教師暨數學家吉爾．鮑姆的文字賦予了一個時而沉靜陰鬱、時而繽紛閃耀的世界。吉爾說：「我必須成為那個光輝時刻的敘述者，記錄下那種『人性復活』的瞬間。故事就那樣真切地呈現在我面前。這一次，尋找結局並不困難，它就誕生在最後一次投擲水漂的軌跡中――那次投擲比之前的任何一次都更加完美：如果那塊石頭永遠不會停下來呢？ 」而尤安娜則說：「我覺得最好讓事物保持懸念，不要過度定義或貼標籤。我有點害怕『語言』，害怕文字固定事物的力量，文字有時會削弱或截斷事物，使其變得過於明確而失去了其他可能的意義。我喜歡圖像那種模糊的特質，這是我與讀者感官之間的溝通。所以，我從不預設讀法，我的

在本書中，小女孩 Emily 一扇門一扇門地敲問：「我可以進來嗎？」藍色的門說她不夠藍；另一扇門只歡迎老虎與鱷魚；還有一扇只為說話很小聲的人而開。每一次被拒絕，Emily 都沒有停下腳步。直到她來到一處沒有門的牆前，拿出粉筆，畫出屬於自己的門，轉動門把，走了進去。作者 Mel Rosenberg 以簡潔對話構成寓言式節奏，插畫家 Orit Magia 則以鮮明設計感畫面強化象徵意涵。本書榮獲以色列 Dvora Omer Award，並獲《Booklist》肯定。In this story about inclusion and acceptance, a girl goes from door to door, hoping to find one that will welcome her inside.

And so begins Emily's search for a door that will open. The first door is blue, and the voice behind the door tells Emily that she doesn't sound very bluish.
