◎貝聿銘：「雖然路易斯•康的作品不多，但每個都是經典。」★台灣第一本介紹路易斯．康的專書一次含括建築家小傳、哲學思考、作品介紹、實踐方法★路易斯．康是◆繼萊特（Frank Lloyd Wright）之後，美國最重要的建築名家。◆當代建築最重要的精神導師。◆影響安藤忠雄、改變世界美學的建築大師。美國建築師、教育家、哲學家路易斯．康（Louis Isadore Kahn, Estonia 1901 / New York 1974），為二十世紀最傑出的建築師之一，發展出一套嶄新的理論性和造型的語言，為現代建築注入新的生命。分散於美國、印度及孟加拉的一些主要作品，都在其一生最後的二十年間完成。作品整合了結構系統、材料、光線、幾何原型、人性價值於一體。他於1971年獲得美國建築師學會金質獎章、獲選美國文藝學院院士，1972年獲英國皇家建築師學會金質獎章。從美國建築師學會所設立的「廿五週年建築作品獎」（Twenty-five Year Award）便可看出，路易斯．康的作品備受建築專業人士所肯定。該獎項每年只選出一件作品，自1969年首次頒發至2014年以來，所選出的四十五件作品中，路易斯．康就有五件，僅次於艾羅•沙陵南（Eero Saarinen）的六件。兩人最引人矚目的原因不僅是獲獎次數最多，更難得的是，他們在相對短暫的建築生涯中，創造出最多的傳世之作，完成設計作品的良率非常驚人。本書分三大部分。因為「靜謐與光線」（Silence and Light）是路易斯．康最後的哲學概念，第一部分「靜謐與光明的建築旅程」呈現路康的小傳，介紹路康的成長背景、各階段作品背後的構想與影響。第二部分「空間本質的探尋」，是路康六座代表性作品的深入賞析。第三部分「建築的內在革命」讓我們看到，路康的哲學思考讓硬梆梆的結構、建築設備系統增添了生命力與現代性，誠如他所言「建築是深思熟慮的空間創造」（Architecture is the thoughtful making of space），建築除了機能角色之外，還可以喚起人類永恆價值的情感與象徵意義。路易斯•康出生於蘇聯所控制之下的愛沙尼亞，原本的姓氏為舒慕伊羅斯基（Schmuilowsky）的猶太家庭，在改名為路易斯•康之前，名為萊瑟-伊澤（Leiser-Itze Schmuilowsky），親朋好友都叫他路（Lou）。本書內文皆已「路康」稱之。

當一個男人走出房間，他就把一切都留在房裡了；當一個女人走出房間，她卻把房裡發生的一切都帶走。2013年諾貝爾文學獎得主2009年曼布克國際獎得主短篇小說大師艾莉絲‧孟若十篇在幸與不幸之間擺盪，並在途中發現微光的故事伊格言／黃崇凱／陳蕙慧／顏擇雅──摯愛推薦孟若最具野心又溫柔的書寫是短篇故事，也是人生縮影以十九世紀俄羅斯女數學家為本，還原了俄國當時幽禁的氛圍，以及女性在追求事業與社會框架之下的掙扎，交織對於愛情的嚮往及破滅。索菲亞死前的遺言：「太多幸福了。」究竟真是滿溢的幸福，還是有那麼一絲悲傷的哀嘆？另外九篇故事，呈現親族的疏離、子女長大後永久背離家庭帶來的孤寂、社會中不受歡迎的邊緣人士，以及作品之中核心的愛情關係：女性所感受的不平等，卻又經常得將一生交託給男方的矛盾情感，也從而折射出對於社會、文化、階級的思考。孟若直指我們深知卻難以開口的真實心聲，精準地用字遣詞，不浪費任何篇幅地編織，並以高度富有同理的方式，讓每個角色的悲歡、相聚與離異皆飽滿立體。書中一句：「虛構的，但不是捏造的。」或許正說明了作者書寫的一大特質，雖然短篇小說建立於虛構，但所有感情、氛圍，都如此真實存在於我們之中。＊本書於2013年初次出版，此次為全新譯本。「對細節刻畫入微，對人心觀察入微⋯⋯在日常的悲喜劇中，變魔術般賦予家務事更深、更廣、更宏大的格局。」──《紐約書評》（The New York Review of Books）喬伊思・凱蘿・歐慈（Joyce Carol Oates）「無論是描述激情消逝的婚姻、陰險詭譎的童年，還是十九世紀一位俄國數學家的情慾與智識之旅，少有作家能像孟若一般，將每一幕刻畫得歷歷在目、近在眼前。」──《波士頓環球報》（The Boston Globe）「在孟若的小說集裡只有一句接一句的金句，閱讀孟若的幸福永遠不嫌多。」──《路易斯維爾信使日報》（Louisville Courier-Journal）「讀一則艾莉絲・孟若的短篇就像深陷沉思冥想之中。她以純熟的筆觸捕捉思緒的陰影與岔路⋯⋯後世一定會記得這位將短篇推向極致的短篇大師。」──《堪城星報》（The Kansas City Star）二〇〇九年百大好書「登峰造極之作，孟若最強的作品集之一⋯⋯每個人的口袋書單上都該有一本這種水準的短篇小說集。孟若的短篇平易近人，她寫的就是人生⋯⋯誠實、直觀的敘事手法，為『短篇小說』

Charise Mericle Harper (Crafty Cat, Just Grace, Fashion Kitty) delivers another hilarious and charming early graphic novel series starring Pepper and Boo, two darling dogs, and their suspicious housemate, the cat.Meet Pepper and Boo. They are two dogs who do not know much about cats. (Who does?) They wonder why the cat sleeps so much (in their beds!), licks itself so much, what the cat is thinking, and what makes the cat happy.Luckily, the cat can explain. The cat knows a lot about being a cat. They know a cat will sleep anywhere (a box, a keyboard, a sink, and Boo's bed) and any time of day. They know what cats like and do not like to eat. They also know that although they are different, they're happy to have housemates like Pepper and Boo.Harper cleverly shifts point-of-view between the cat and two dogs, creating laugh-out-loud moments through her text and art that younger readers will want to return to again and again.

The 2010s have seen an explosion in popularity of Chinese television featuring same-sex intimacies, LGBTQ-identified celebrities, and explicitly homoerotic storylines even as state regulations on “vulgar” and “immoral” content grow more prominent. This emerging “queer TV China” culture has generated diverse, cyber, and transcultural queer fan communities. Yet these seemingly progressive televisual productions and practices are caught between multilayered sociocultural and political-economic forces and interests.Taking “queer” as a verb, an adjective, and a noun, this volume counters the Western-centric conception of homosexuality as the only way to understand nonnormative identities and same-sex desire in the Chinese and Sinophone worlds. It proposes an analytical framework of “queer/ing TV China” to explore the power of various TV genres and narratives, censorial practices, and fandoms in queer desire-voicing and subject formation within a largely heteropatriarchal society. Through ex

當東方傳統的「打罵教育」 遇上美國教育家的「柔性管理」 在講求民主的時代，體罰已逐漸被淘汰， 但――不能打罵孩子，就不知道怎麼教育孩子了嗎？ 那你真是愧對「父母」的身分！ 雅各布．艾伯特（Jacob Abbott）告訴你： 只有無能的父母才會訴諸暴力， 孩子之所以不聽話，是因為「認同感」尚未成立！ The Principles on Which a Firm Parental Authority May Be Established and Maintained, Without Violence or Anger, and the Right Development of the Moral and Mental Capacities Be Promoted by Methods in Harmony with the Structure and the Characteristics of the Juvenile Mind ――在符合青少年心理結構及性格特點的原則下，以柔和手法建立家長的權威；並以非暴力形式正確促進青少年道德與心理發展 ▎三種帶有「暴力」性質的教育方法 ►體罰 有些父母會在一氣之下責打孩子，甚至將孩子關進「小黑屋」， 他們認為這類懲罰能有效讓孩子意識到自己的錯誤並加以改正。 事實上，過度的刺激不僅傷害幼童身體的正常發育， 更可能導致孩子長期對父母、家庭抱持怨恨心態， 成為長大後神經錯亂或身體機能失調的根源，為日後生活埋下隱患。 ►恐嚇 所謂「恐嚇」，就是利用恐怖故事和鬼怪形象威脅孩子。 「再不乖乖聽話，幽靈就會把你帶走吃掉喔！」 這些恐嚇看似未對孩子身體造成傷害， 恐怖心理卻透過孩子的想像無限放大， 最終產生精神疾病，開始害怕黑暗或者害怕獨自一人。 ►斥責 在所有的暴力教育中，斥責往往最容易被忽略， 父母希望透過嚴厲的批評和責罵，使孩子產生愧疚感和危機意識。 表面上看起來沒什麼問題，但如果用力過猛，傷害孩子的敏感神經， 很可能適得其反，導致孩子出現焦慮症，隨時處於恐懼和緊張中。 ▎兩種樹立父母權威的「懷柔」技巧 ►有錯必懲：抑制叛逆心理 所謂柔性教育，並不是指無止境地溺愛孩子， 而是把「順從」培養成孩子的習慣，讓他們「自主聽話」。 父母要切記：不要讓孩子透過叛逆的行為來獲得好處。 相反，當孩子反抗家長的指示或感到不以為然時， 家長應適度處罰孩子

大腦不斷重播被折磨的感覺， 所有的記憶和聯想都受到毒害， 唯一的避難方式只有遠離所有情感…… 曾經飽受躁鬱症之苦，人生彷彿墜入無盡深淵， 最後憑藉什麼信念成功走出，得到心靈的昇華？ 1909年，亞瑟．本森大病初癒， 提筆寫下這段與疾病抗爭的心路歷程。 【媒體好評】 “An amazing document in spiritual autobiography, valuable for its revelation of what a man thinketh, and abounding in golden phrases and sentences of rhythmic beauty, such as Benson's admirers have learned to expect from the great Cambridge stylist.”―Christian Advocate 「一部具傳奇色彩的自傳式精神世界的成長史，作家本森依然秉承劍橋大學出身的文學家的一貫創作風格，讓讀者享受豐富的、有韻律和優美的文筆及金句之餘，更啟發和引領讀者進入人類的思考層面和境界。」――《基督教導報》 “A piece of real literature of the highest order, beautiful and fragrant. To review the book adequately is impossible...It is in truth a precious thing.”―Weekly Survey 「文學最高境界的展現，華美而醇香。無法全面地評價這部好書，能讀到它便享受了一次最美好的精神饗宴。」――《觀察週報》 【心靈探索】 ▎沒來由的恐懼，不斷感到焦慮和痛苦 在我患病的大部分時間裡，我最大的憂慮就是害怕自己的智力突然衰竭。曾經有一段時間，我只能無助地坐在那裡，任憑恐懼感越來越強地向我襲來，勢不可擋地吞沒我身邊的所有事物，讓我感受到極大的痛苦…… ►亞瑟．本森體悟 你越是有恐懼感，就越容易養成恐懼的習慣，允許自己有這樣的感覺，從而使自己的精神狀態更加糟糕。最好不要直視悲慘事件，除非你有義務或被迫這麼做。你不可能透過訓練使自己這麼無動於衷，如果能更好地應對恐懼感，就會使自己變得更快樂、更灑脫。 ▎做什麼都感覺不對，前進與後退都是一種折磨 我

Sharing a delicious meal helps a family connect in this loving tribute to Chinatown grocery stores and spending days-off together. On a rainy Saturday, a young girl feels as gray as a pigeon. Since moving from China to Brooklyn, Mom, Dad, and Grandma have been too busy working. But a trip to Mom's favorite Chinatown market, where there are "vegetables in a hundred greens" and "silver fish on crunchy white ice," might just be what the girl needs to feel connected again. After a long day of shopping, they cook up a savory meal of mushroom and bok choy, thin slices of bitter melon, fragrant ponds of broth, and seafood--almost like being back in China. A final dream spread shows the family walking hand-in-hand in rainbow colors, an affirmation of love and support even on rainy, gray days. Inspired by Qing Zhuang's experience as a first generation Chinese American, Rainbow Shopping explores how sharing a meal together can be a source of comfort and connection to loved ones, near and far.
