Then Charlie is kidnapped by poachers, swept away on a dangerous mission in search of pirate treasure that's protected by a vengeful ghost.

美國亞馬遜書店4.6星讀者好評，布洛克(Brock)國際教育大獎得主，「多元智能理論」之父最新力作！別人常問我，我擁有什麼智能，又欠缺什麼智能。我漸漸認為，更有助益、更實用、甚至更正確的回答，應該是：「我擁有統合心智。」――――霍華德‧加德納 (Howrad Gardner)享譽國際、當代傑出的哈佛心理學家暨教育家――霍華德•加德納（Howard Gardner），在40年前提出顛覆傳統教育思想的「多元智能」（Ｍultiple Intelligences,簡稱MI）理論，反駁傳統「IQ測驗」以紙筆測驗定終身的智力觀點，主張智力不該被局限在狹隘的單一面向。他大聲呼籲，每個人的智能組成光譜不同，應擺脫過去獨斷的單一智能框架，任何人都可以透過自己的優勢智能，持續且廣泛地培養其他面向的智能。加德納教授擁有二十多項榮譽學位，長年為哈佛教育學院零點計畫（Projecr Zero）核心團隊成員，曾獲《外交政策》與《展望雜誌》選為當今世上百大最具影響力人物之一；2015年獲布洛克國際教育大獎（Brock international prize in education）時，提名委員如此定位他：「多元智能理論是美國現代教育理論中最重要的票房明星，歷史上很少有人能像加德納，對教育發揮如此巨大的影響力。」多元智能理論問世後，不僅掀起全世界的教改浪潮，激發眾人思索教育的新思路，更成為眾多教育工作者與父母在教育及教養議題上廣為接受的顯學。即使是將近40年後的今天，台灣教育政策的方向依然深受多元智能思潮的影響。如「十二年國民基本教育課程綱要」的國小階段學習重點，便是「開發多元智能，培養多方興趣」；而「學生學習歷程檔案」重視「真實呈現學生的學習軌跡、個人特質、能力發展等，補強考試之外無法呈現的學習成果」的理念，更完全符合加德納對於傳統標準化測驗的批判。至今著作已逾30本的加德納教授在這本個人回憶錄之中，不僅以精闢的見解闡釋新時代下的多元智能理論，回顧多元智能理論發展過程中，曾被錯誤詮釋、誤解使用等另作者驚恐不已的軼事，更追本溯源檢視自我心智架構，梳理自身提出開創性研究的源頭，娓娓道來自己如何從一個鎮日埋首書堆、熱愛彈奏鋼琴的內向猶太裔小男孩，一路演變成意氣風發的大學生、思想不受拘束的研究生，最終成為哈佛教授的曲折回憶。回首過去，他說：「我就像唐吉訶德那樣，義無反顧地追尋我自己的路！」在本書中，加

中文領域第一本研究波斯大詩人奧瑪．珈音(Omar Khayyam)《魯拜集》(Rubaiyat)的專著，重在比較研究珈音的思想及其四行詩的詩意與中國文化或隱或顯的關係。作者對珈音的作品與中國儒道釋三家思想，屈原、李白、杜甫、邵雍、蘇軾的詩詞，《紅樓夢》的文化意蘊，以及文化大師陳寅恪的獨立精神和自由思想等各個方面詳加比較分析。對於那些囿於費茲傑羅英譯及其中譯的讀者來說，本書足以顛覆對《魯拜集》的傳統理解，引發新的審美陶醉。　About the BookThis book is the first monograph in Chinese that searches for the Rubaiyat of the great Persian poet Omar Khayyam. It focuses on the comparative study and the implicit or explicit relationship between the thoughts and quarains of Khayyam and the Chinese culture. The author has made a broad comparative analysis of the similarities and the differences between Khayyam’s works and the thoughts of Chinese Confucianism, Taoism, and Zen, as well as the poems of Qu Yuan, Li Bai, Du Fu, Shao Yong, and Su Shi, the cultural connotation of Cao Xueqin's novel Dream of the Red Chamber and the independent spirit and free thoughts of Chen Yinke, a master of Chinese learning. For the readers who are confined to Fitzgerald’s Rubaiyat and and the old Chinese translations, this book

Initially based on a comparative study of Chinese and Euro-American art theory in the 18th and 19th centuries, this book examines how both cultures looked at their own past and their outside, i.e. what was construed as not belonging to their own cultural sphere, and how they devised new ways of adapting them into evolving cultural constructs.While the 17th century was still a time when the epistemological backgrounds of both civilizations were so profoundly different that nearly no dialogue was possible, the 18th century saw the emergence in both places of profound changes that would get them close enough to create the conditions for the beginning of a conversation. First quite superficial and taking shape mostly in the decorative arts, this process of rapprochement, while remaining chaotic and unpredictable, led to wider and more profound zones of contact throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. Through the reinterpretations of each other’s cultural creations, these zones of conta

Josh Lacey and Momoko Abe have created a delightful, offbeat picture book about finding companionship in unlikely places.

本書特色★本書為香港中文大學伊斯蘭文化研究中心「東亞伊斯蘭研究叢書」之一★以「關鍵字」為切入點，彙編近300條《清實錄》中伊斯蘭教相關史料★林長寬教授專序推薦序【序】林長寬（國立成功大學文學院多元文化研究中心召集人） 伊斯蘭或穆斯林在中國地區（the Middle Kingdom）不同朝代發展的研究，其歷史並不如中土伊斯蘭的研究來得長，因而極有開發的遠景。一般而言，中國伊斯蘭（Islam in China）或穆斯林（Chinese Muslims）的研究可有二種不同途徑，即分別置於伊斯蘭文化或中國民族研究框架中，各有不同的強調。前者屬於形而上的宗教研究（Religious Studies），後者則是以人為主的少數族群研究（Minority Studies），可歸類於民族學領域。就西方伊斯蘭研究（Islamic Studies）傳統而言，在中國伊斯蘭方面，從十九世紀至今，早已擺脫基督教會傳教士的「他信仰（other faith）研究」傳統（其目的在於對穆斯林宣教），轉而進入廣義伊斯蘭研究，針對穆斯林族群行跨領域整合的研究，但仍較少在神學或哲學思想上著墨。而新生代學者也試圖結合「中國研究」（China Studies）與「伊斯蘭研究」，開創新的途徑。 伊斯蘭在中國（或中國地區穆斯林群體）的發展到了蒙元時期方有較明確的文獻記載；而那些中文資料中除了官史之外，少有民間或穆斯林社群自我的紀錄。整體而言，明末以前中國穆斯林可謂「有史無料」；而所謂的史料即是記述穆斯林社群的零碎訊息。之所以有此現象其主要原因乃穆斯林進入中國地區後，原有宗教傳統因逐漸漢化（Sinicization）或在地化（localization）而被淹沒在以儒、道為主流的漢文化社會中。穆斯林隨蒙古人入主中國地區後，即成為歷朝各代的子民（ruled subject），為了存續必得奉儒家為正朔，致使伊斯蘭信仰、儀式逐漸式微。而明朝建立後，統治者所推動的「去胡化」政策導致更難對外來的伊斯蘭宗教或穆斯林社群有所關注與報導。 這種情況到了滿清建國後稍有改變。中國穆斯林因整個伊斯蘭世界的復興改革思潮與蘇非道團（Sufi Tariqah）的流通，意識到其宗教傳統流失的危機，遂有所謂中國穆斯林的復興改革，也因此有大量漢文伊斯蘭著作（Han Kitab）的出現。基本上，這些著作並不被列入正式的官方文獻中，這也是研究中國伊
