A lively and provocative account of Bernard Mandeville and the work that scandalized and appalled his contemporaries—and made him one of the most influential thinkers of the eighteenth century.In 1714, doctor, philosopher and writer Bernard Mandeville published The Fable of the Bees, a humorous tale in which a prosperous hive full of greedy and licentious bees trade their vices for virtues and immediately fall into economic and societal collapse. Outrage among the reading public followed; philosophers took up their pens to refute what they saw as the fable’s central assertion. How could it be that an immoral community thrived but the introduction of morality caused it to crash and burn? In Man-Devil, John Callanan examines Mandeville and his famous fable, showing how its contentious claim—that vice was essential to the economic flourishing of any society—formed part of Mandeville’s overall theory of human nature. Mandeville, Callanan argues, was perfectly suited to analyze and satirize

〜人生必備打氣筒和OK繃，慢慢成為更好的自己〜在《灰兒飛高高以後：陪伴受傷孩子的暖心繪本》書中，人生中有兩個重要的工具，要一輩子放在包裹裡，給自己取用：那就是打氣筒和OK繃，好貼切的物品！能讓孩子更準確地知道心裡受傷時，給自己安慰的OK繃，好一點可以重新啟動時，再用打氣筒給自己打打氣，那樣就可以慢慢成為更好的自己。──葛惠(財團法人三之三生命教育基金會執行長)《灰兒飛高高以後》討論到即使是孩子也有自癒能力，有時我們就是需要暫停一下，還有，就算不全然總在「認真的」生活也無妨，只要是活著，各種經驗和感悟都是有價值的。──管家琪(兒童文學作家)閱讀《灰兒飛高高以後》，讓自己及時停下腳步思索，原來療癒內心的溫暖事物，驀然回首，竟在燈火闌珊處，正等待著我們仔細的聆聽與感受。每個人的內心深處，都潛藏著屬於自己的寶藏，那獨一無二，無需比較，屬於你的優勝美地。──王意中(王意中心理治療所所長)「這個故事源自於我在安置中心從事藝術治療工作時遇見的孩子，他們都因「受傷」而聚集在一起。對他們來說，身體的傷是一種痛，心裡的傷更是另一種痛，而兩者都需要好好修復。 故事中的「灰兒」在追尋寶藏的過程中經歷了挫折與傷害，但最終他學會自我療癒、也理解生命除了不斷追尋外，還要重視內心的快樂。 我們希望這本書成為受傷孩子們身心的安慰，讓他們在閱讀中感受到勇氣和被理解的溫暖。而陪著共讀的大人們也能在閱讀過程中得到療癒。」──作者/徐道恆、繪者/簡宛瑩特別規劃･精心設計･親子共讀：◆附贈療癒貼紙◆大小朋友聊療天◆繪本讀書會〜恢復勇敢的力量，讓每個想飛的孩子都能飛〜《灰兒飛高高以後：陪伴受傷孩子的暖心繪本》作者/徐道恆 繪者/簡宛瑩本書是關於一顆氣球「灰兒」的冒險故事。灰兒想要飛高高尋找寶藏，沿途追尋不同價值而傷痕累累，是個追尋與懷疑、受傷與療癒的故事。After Whirl Flies HighWhirl dreams of soaring high in search of treasure, chasing various values along the way and becoming battered and bruised.

真實文章中的英文，往往比文法書更複雜！學會看穿句子中的倒裝、假設、比較、否定等組合變化，建立句型結構和重要資訊的排列觀念，讓你破解難句，讀懂任何文章！許多人學英文到一定程度，就會陷入這樣的困境：明明單字和文法實力都不差，卻在閱讀英文文章時不斷卡關。這是因為你雖然學會了進階的文法，但還缺少應對句子彈性變化的能力！舉例來說：_______ speech humans owe the power of cooperation with their fellows.(A) By(B) In(C) On(D) To這個句子的意思是「人類之所以能彼此合作，正是因為有語言。」但空格中該填入什麼介系詞呢？可能有人會想到 (A) By有「藉由」的語意，但正確答案是 (D) To。這是因為句子後面出現了動詞owe，而owe A to B是「將A歸功於B」的意思。這個句子如果寫成Humans owe the power of cooperation with their fellows to speech.，大多數人應該能立刻看出owe A to B的用法。但這題經過語序調整，變成To speech在句首的形式，就增加了理解語意的難度。至於為什麼要調整語序，就取決於寫作者想表達的重點或營造的風格。掌握正確觀念，就能破解句型！英文句子千變萬化，從文法書中學會的概念，例如倒裝、關係子句、慣用語、否定、假設語氣等，都還可以進一步排列組合，形成各種搭配。句子除了〈S + V + O〉的基本結構，還會加入修飾語，或為了強調內容表達的重點，精細調整語序，讓句型看似更複雜。正因為句子有這麼多的變化，才能構成風格各異、內容豐富的文章，也因為這樣，才讓文章乍看之下難度更高。然而，既然句子都是由基礎變化而來，表示只要掌握正確的觀念，就能一一破解繁複的句型，順利理解語意！本書將帶領讀者看穿句子的變化，加入「資訊順序」、「亂序慣用語」、「名詞化結構」等觀念，徹底釐清英文盲點，進而讀懂任何難度的文章！本書特色【108個超難文法，看穿句子的進階變化！】全書一共收錄108個超難文法，每單元刻意挑選長度短、難度高的句子作為練習題，讓讀者先挑戰答題，再點出題目中的文法關鍵，徹底釐清盲點。【作者獨創解析，舉一反三破解句型！】作者根據多年鑽研文法和第一線教學的經驗，創造了各種解析句型的獨家觀點，指引讀者「換個角度想」，跳脫制
