蟬聯日本亞馬遜「暢銷總榜」冠軍！樂天Books「健康類榜」2022上半年冠軍！168斷食屢戰屢敗？別怕，救星來了！炸物OK．甜食OK．佛系運動．絕不復胖 ◎日本亞馬遜、樂天Books暢銷雙冠王；醫師作家樺澤紫苑，狂瘦6公斤有感推薦！◎168斷食瘦身完全實踐版：做3休1、續航力更強！無痛瘦身不復胖！◎受眾廣泛，方法簡易；三餐在外、喝酒聚餐都OK，不必為了瘦身犧牲人際關係！ ★意外爆紅！零意志力也沒問題，柔道整復師的超強瘦身法 本書作者野上浩一郎為日本知名柔道整復師兼瘦身教練，他的本業雖為整骨院長，卻主張將瘦身指導引進療程。這是因為許多身體疼痛，都與肥胖脫離不了關係。 例如，原以為自己因久坐辦公室而導致腰痛的上班族，接受健康檢查後才發現，腰痛其實是肥胖所致；某婆媽的膝蓋疼痛，根本原因來自肥胖；就連來矯正骨盆的產後媽媽也表示：「懷孕期間變胖，產後體重完全沒有下降。」 由此可知，控制體重或許才是解決身體疼痛的根本之道。為此，他開始推行「零意志力」也能見效的瘦身指導，帶領患者們透過飲食調整，精準達成熱量赤字、打造理想體態且絕不復胖。 「那家整骨院不僅能治療疼痛，還能瘦身！」 這樣的傳聞在當地主婦之間，以及口碑網站上瞬間擴散，開業僅一年半，便成了爆紅的整骨院。 作者迄今已累計三萬人的治療經驗與600人的瘦身指導實績。瘦身計畫參與者的成功率（減重3kg以上）高達96.6％；就連過去在減重路上總是無法堅持到底的人，也能依循正確方向順利抵達目標。 此書在日本上市後迅速造成搶購，不但蟬聯2022年2月日本亞馬遜「暢銷總榜」冠軍；更登上樂天Books「健康類榜」2022上半年冠軍！ ★減重老是三分鐘熱度？就是要這樣才會瘦！ 你一定聽過168斷食瘦身，甚至嘗試過無數次，偏偏——白天工作太忙、晚上邀約過多，動不動就超過進食限定時間……然後就投降了，對吧？ 168斷食瘦身失敗率之所以這麼高，大抵是因為必須倚靠強大意志力；儘管限制「進食時間」為8小時，但由於缺乏「飲食項目」的限制，在完全不忌口的情況下，便很難達到熱量赤字，體重、體態不動如山。另外，由於168斷食沒有明確截止期限，人在徒勞無功且看不到終點的情況下，特別容易喪失鬥志，只能無語問蒼天：「我已經這麼努力了，怎麼還是

英國Profile Books出版社與哈佛大學聯手打造古代史新系列【名家談古代世界史】第五部登場!! 市面上最翔實、全面、以現代考古成果呈現的羅馬史最終章！詳盡回溯人類史上最強帝國的興衰始末。 ǁ成功大學歷史系教授翁嘉聲 審定．導讀ǁ 內外交攻、由盛轉衰的二百年，一本專書道盡帝國傾圮的遠因和近憂；從東日耳曼人攻破防線那刻起回推，這「西方的起源」已掏空幾十年；羅馬帝國的高樓塌了， 西方諸國如何傳承文明遺產，轉而各自興起？近1,500年後義大利半島全境統一，而「羅馬」遺留的輝煌遺產——只供後世人們在古城斷垣殘壁中，遙想往日的榮光 《帝國的悲劇》是馬可孛羅文化「名家談古代世界史系列」第五部巨作，內容主要講述從西元三六三年尤利安皇帝戰死於波斯（美索不達米亞），到五六八年倫巴底人從北方翻越阿爾卑斯山，入侵亞平寧半島，建立倫巴底大公國的兩百年歷史。承上一冊《帝國的勝利》所述，在「五賢帝」之後的幾個世紀以來，羅馬都是世界上最大的帝國之一，其影響力遍及歐洲、北非和中東地區，其軍事力量成功抵禦了帕提亞人（安息人）、日爾曼人、波斯人和哥德人的進攻。然後迎來最終不可避免的分裂：汪達爾人（東日耳曼人）對羅馬的洗劫，以及西方國家從帝國崩潰為——首先在名義上處於帝國統治之下的王國；然後一個接一個地超越帝國。《帝國的悲劇》講述了羅馬逐漸崩潰的故事，其中充滿了宮廷陰謀、宗教衝突和軍事歷史，以及社會、宗教和政治結構轉變的細節；本書追溯了兩百年的羅馬歷史，呈現出這段時間裡，儘管帝國的東方仍然保持著強大政治實力和文化活力，但帝國的西方卻變得無法統治並屈服於動盪和各種變遷，終至瓦解。本書對羅馬因外部入侵而衰落的觀點提出質疑。相反，它關注的是那些生活在帝國內部的人們，其選擇和條件如何導致了它的衰落。因為打破帝國的不是一個單一的災難性時刻，而是一個漸進的過程；當人們明白羅馬已經滅亡時，帝國西側早已打破了帝國的枷鎖：外溢的文明往原先蠻族之地四散，造就了日後多元並陳的西方文明。 關於「名家談古代世界史」系列「名家談古代世界史」（History of the Ancient World Series）系列是由英國出版社Profile Books策劃，邀集英美兩地古代史專家，包括普林斯頓大學、杜倫大學、密西根大學、賓州大學等學校的一線歷史教授，統合西方學界近十年的研
