插圖是我們理解世界的另一種語言，當圖像開始說話，歷史便有了溫度！它讓信仰有了形象，讓思想有了顏色，也讓藝術，從宮廷與教堂，走進了書頁之中。▶古代插圖15世紀中期版畫印刷開始推廣之後，這種情況才開始有了變化：這時，書籍發展到了一個各階層讀者都可能獲得的新階段，這些讀者希望書中的圖畫有助於闡釋文字的內容。於是，插圖不再像4世紀以來主要強調裝飾作用，而同時還要能對文字有著闡釋甚至補充的作用。到了18、19世紀浪漫主義運動興起，插圖更獲得了新的生命，出現一種新的理念，即插圖藝術家能為文字提供一種富有想像的空間。▶巴洛克時代的插圖巴洛克時代，因其豪華的宮廷、壯觀的建築、幽雅的園林，特別是吉慶場合、劇院娛樂、婚禮、葬禮，更不必說皇家的各種節日，首先開始於上層，然後成為大眾的普遍需求，一切都反映了上層階級的審美趣味。所以這段時期也被稱作「豪華富麗的時代」（age of grandeur）。在這些場合中，需要藝術家們把自己最熟練的技巧奉獻出來。於是，就如在黑暗的中世紀，儘管外面是一片混亂，修道院裡仍然能夠繪製出華麗的手抄本書籍▶浪漫主義時代的插圖首先，為反對17世紀的巴洛克藝術和18世紀的洛可可藝術而興起的新古典主義，主張要恢復古希臘藝術高尚質樸和莊嚴肅穆的精髓，並以其和諧、明朗、嚴謹、普遍性和理想主義傳遍歐洲和整個世界。但同時新古典主義又常常表現出強烈的情感，這種現象到了後來便與個性、主觀、非理性、想像共為一體，發展成為一種被稱為浪漫主義的運動，橫掃整個西方文明。▶現代主義時代的插圖阿爾伯特．愛因斯坦於1905年提出的相對論，更從理論上闡明了事物變化的絕對性。如此說來，一切傳統，還有什麼不可改變的呢？他們考慮，完全可以不必以他人的經驗、期望和要求作為自己的重點，而是可以、甚至應該突破以往的傳統，隨自己的心意來進行創作。本書特色：本書以時代為脈絡，全面梳理歐洲插畫藝術從中世紀手抄本到現代主義的發展軌跡。從宗教裝飾畫到印刷革命、從巴羅克的戲劇性到浪漫主義的情感表現，本書不僅呈現技法與風格的轉折，也揭示插畫如何反映各時代的審美與文化精神，是理解西方藝術史與出版史的重要讀物。

Winner of the Rainbow Book of the Year“I know of no other book that so tenderly, convincingly, and completely authentically captures the quest of a young, queer character. Beautiful!” – Benny LindelaufJip has an assignment from school for spring break: draw a self-portrait. That should be easy for someone who can draw so well. Yet Jip's thoughts keep wandering. To the new boy in class, to beetles and fireflies, to twilight dreaming, to the party next Friday, and especially to the boy who changed Jip's world once and for all.Ludwig Volbeda writes as he draws: sensitively, intimately, and with striking observations and metaphors that gradually give the reader insight into Jip’s innermost thoughts.

身體不是生病，而是在排毒，所有不適症狀，都是自癒力啟動的訊號！「有25年的時間我使用藥物，但後來的35年我不使用藥物。」提爾頓醫師被譽為「體內淨化教父」（God Father of Cleansing），是替代醫療、另類療法的先驅！雖然，從微生物學、遺傳學、免疫學、生理學等現代醫學的角度來看，或許有些爭議及時代代溝，但他的理論影響後世的排毒、斷食理念很多，在斷食排毒、自然醫學、功能醫學、自癒療法及預防醫學等領域有不朽的地位，而其對病因的省思和思維，仍有當代值得參考的價值。　人生病的根本原因不是病毒，而是－－毒素＋能量耗損醫學定義出不同名字的疾病，讓我們有一種錯覺，以為疾病有成千上百種。但提爾頓醫師認為，真正的疾病只有一種，那就是「血液積毒症」，只是會隨著所牽涉的不同組織、器官而產生差異；想要擺脫世人所謂的「疾病」，就要先擺脫血液積毒症，因為人在血液積毒症狀態最容易「生病」。◆血液積毒是所有疾病的起點　→毒素經由飲食、壓力、情緒與代謝逐漸累積，一旦排不出去，就會引發症狀。◆體質衰弱讓毒素無法排除　→當神經能量耗盡，人體排除作用受阻、自癒機制被迫關閉，導致毒素滯留，形成「血液積毒症」。◆疾病是排毒危機，不是錯誤　→發炎、疼痛、疲勞、發燒，是身體嘗試排除毒素的過程。治療不是壓制症狀，而是停止再製造毒素提爾頓醫師認為，驅除疾病和復元的力量，都存在於大自然賦予人類的自癒力，我們要做的，就是讓人天生的自癒力不受阻礙的發揮作用。所以，生病時最好的做法就是「休養生息」和適當的「觀察性等待」。◆飲食或食物並不會治癒任何疾病。◆過度依賴藥物會妨礙身體的自我排毒作用。◆最強排毒或治病良方，就是斷食、休養、安靜、溫暖與新鮮空氣；相反的，藥物、進食、恐懼和不停的工作，都會妨礙毒素的排除。◆疾病消失，只代表毒素被排到警戒值之下，壞習慣如果不改掉，所謂的疾病自然會重返。療癒、預防疾病的最根本──阻止神經能量外洩 人體的血液裡無時無刻都會有毒素存在，在神經能量正常時，它只會對身體造成些微的刺激，但當神經能量不足而體質衰弱時，毒素無法順利地被排除，長久累積下來就會對身體造成嚴重的刺激。神經能量是康復的根本燃料，因此，健康的祕訣就是盡量避免耗費神經能量的行為。◆維持適當的「不滿足感」。◆過度追求「成功的捷徑」會讓人空虛，導致身心惡果。◆鍛鍊身體需要平衡，否則會因為不斷向身體施壓而加速老化。◆小心「聽

Escaping the End of Times is a book where history meets psychology. It invites readers to explore the intricate relationships between dreams, politics, and the Chinese writing system in early modern China.Thoroughly researched and written in an accessible manner, this book presents a series of historical encounters that reveal how Ming scholars countered instability by compiling and editing dream texts. Readers learn how these scholars translated their dreams into action, used the past to bolster their status, reaffirmed their preferred societal order, merged myth and history, and interpreted their dreams and the dreams of others through creative techniques grounded in scholarly tradition.By combining detailed research with captivating storytelling, this book not only brings the world of late Ming dream analysis to life but also demonstrates the relevance of the past to the stories we tell now about ourselves and our own dreams.

Over a span of 260 years, from 630 to 894, Japanese embassies to Tang China (ken-Tō shi) played a vital role in importing Tang governance and culture to Japan, significantly shaping the political and cultural landscape of an emerging Japanese state with codes of law (ritsuryō). However, the seventeenth embassy during the Jōwa period, fraught with turmoil, marked the final mission to Tang China. Alongside disasters and significant loss of life during the voyage, mysteries persist around Vice-ambassador Ono no Takamura's refusal to board the ship, the government's insistence on the mission, and the objectives behind dispatching this mission to China. In this volume, Professor Saeki Arikiyo traces the journey from departure to return, focusing on the individuals involved and the prevailing trends of the era. Drawing upon a rich tapestry of historical sources, including records from Shoku Nihon kōki and the accompanying monk Ennin's Nit-Tō guhō junrei kōki, Arikiyo delves into the arduous

◎美國文豪、諾貝爾文學獎得主，約翰史坦貝克（John Steinbeck）重新鍛造的經典傳說――騎士精神的永恆經典◎ 義大利國寶級畫家，羅倫佐．馬托蒂（Lorenzo Mattotti）精心繪製的雙書封、十九張絕美插圖◎ 〈附錄：創作過程與思考特別〉揭露史坦貝克與友人、經紀人、編輯的書信集，顯示文學大師的創作思考過程亞瑟王，歐洲史上流傳最久、影響最深、跨媒介最廣的傳奇英雄人物，是歐洲烏托邦式理想君王的原型。他以圓桌制度――無主座的正義――強化了騎士精神（chivalry），將其昇華到一個高尚的精神狀態，並對後世的紳士精神產生了深遠的影響。同時，他與他的王后桂妮薇兒，以及天下第一的騎士蘭斯洛特之間的三角戀，也是歐洲文學中最淵遠流長的「愛與罪」母題。這段「個人情感與社會秩序衝突」的故事，直接奠定了歐洲羅曼史（romance）、宮廷戀、乃至現代言情小說的戲劇性基礎。這個據信流傳了一千五百年的故事，一路上滋養了人們對榮耀、正義、勇氣、愛與義務的想像。十五世紀，湯瑪斯．馬洛里（Thomas Malory）以中古英語寫下《亞瑟王之死》（Morte d’ Arthur），為這個傳說留下了文學範本。這本書啟發了後代無數的讀者，也衍伸出無數的創作。二十世紀美國文豪，也是諾貝爾文學獎得主的約翰．史坦貝克（John Steinbeck），是其中最閃亮的代表。約翰．史坦貝克不只童年從亞瑟王的故事裡得到閱讀啟蒙，更重新創作了《亞瑟王和圓桌騎士》（The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights）。《亞瑟王和圓桌騎士》不僅僅是一本中古英語《亞瑟王之死》的現代翻譯，而是一場跨時空的文學對話。他以二十世紀的語言重新發掘亞瑟王故事角色的心理，讓古代英雄的困境、戰鬥與名譽，與現代人的孤獨、焦慮和理想對齊。史坦貝克曾經對自己的文學經紀人伊莉莎白．歐提斯（Elizabeth Otis）說到：「我不是在翻譯馬洛里。我是在試著理解他想追尋的是什麼，去找出他夢中的那個故事。」天下無敵，完美卻痛苦的蘭斯洛特、看透了命運，卻無法改變命運的梅林、一統了天下，卻為和平盛世苦惱的亞瑟王……史坦貝克的筆，將亞瑟王與他的騎士從英雄傳說的領域裡劃分出來，變成了一面映照人性的鏡子。他的《亞瑟王和圓桌騎士》，是西方文學正典中最後一部以小說家之手，重新鍛造的經典傳說。當代義大利國寶級畫家羅倫

《 引領全局:給引導者的實踐筆記 》( From the Front of the Room: Notes on Facilitation for Experienced Practitioners - Revised Edition )，由丹 · 紐曼( Dan Newman )所著，是一本關於引導者在大型複雜工作坊中如何與參與者互動,並為已具備工作坊設計與交付執行基礎知識的人們所撰寫的實用指南和實踐反思。本書的核心宗旨是將焦點從工作坊的運作機制( 例如議程或特定活動 )轉移到引導者細膩且以人為本的行為模式上。紐曼認為，引導者的有效性在於其支持群體社會與心理動態的能力,影響整個系統,而不僅僅是作為一個對話仲裁者。這種觀點將引導者定位為一個獨特的外部觀察者與內部協作者，其清晰的視角能夠幫助群體解決複雜問題並推動系統性的變革。

How the legacy of the Civil War--as presented by writers, poets, and artists of the time--has shaped American visions of democracy In Haunted by the Civil War, Shirley Samuels explores the work of Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, Frederick Douglass, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and others to investigate the long cultural shadow of America's cataclysmic sundering. Juxtaposing these texts with images--ranging from paintings by Winslow Homer to newspaper and magazine illustrations of political controversies--Samuels argues that the Civil War still haunts our attitudes toward democracy. The recent toppling of Confederate monuments, the continuing protests over racial and sexual discrimination, immigration, and Indigenous land rights: each of these forms part of the war's legacy. Examining the fraught deliberations about an ideal American democracy in the early republic, Samuels turns to the language of sensation in the poetry of Melville, Dickinson, and Whitman alongside Lincol
