教訓要記取仇恨要遺忘我的（寫作）目的是要了解整個事件，並希望世人從中學習教訓，記取沉痛的殷鑑。但是，不同的殘暴程度，通常就會引起不同的反應；因此我一定要提出一些數字，讓讀者對1937年發生在南京的大屠殺規模，有些許概念。一位歷史學家曾經估算，如果讓所有南京大屠殺的死難者手牽手，長度可以從南京到達杭州，綿延約兩百英里長。他們身上的血液共重達一千兩百噸，屍體可裝滿兩千五百節火車車廂。如果把這些屍體疊起來，高度相當於七十四層樓。――張純如這是一段讓人不忍回顧，卻必須面對的過去。1937年12月13日，南京落入日軍手中。一場泯滅人性的大屠殺隨即展開。成千上萬的年輕男子被集合起來驅趕至市郊，不是遭機關槍掃射，就是被日軍當作練習刺刀用的肉靶，甚或被潑了滿身的汽油活活燒死。無數的婦女慘遭日軍強暴與凌虐，就連孕婦也不放過。在幾個星期的時間裡，南京城內屍橫遍野，宛如煉獄。本書從三個不同角度――日本人、中國受難者與當時在場的歐美人士的敘事觀點，全方位呈現整個大屠殺事件；另一方面，抽絲剝繭地檢視這段長達多年的黑暗勢力，探討日本政府如何處心積慮地抹煞世界對大屠殺的記憶。作者蒐集海峽兩岸、歐美、日本許多第一手資料，並且整合大屠殺倖存者的訪談記錄，重新呈現南京大屠殺的完整面貌。透過流利、細緻的文字，讀者可以完整了解南京大屠殺歷史的始末，同時省思歷史事件留予世人的寶貴教訓。各界好評一部從歷史真相中批判道德淪喪的有力新作。張純如在書中謹慎考證了這場浩劫的真實規模與細節。――《芝加哥論壇報》（Chicago Tribune）經過精心的研究考證……故事扣人心弦，牢牢抓住讀者的目光，從頭到尾令人欲罷不能。――鄭念，《上海生與死》（Life and Death in Shanghai）作者張純如深入研究南京大屠殺，為二戰暴行增添並擴展出全新的敘述。這本書非常出色，其所講述的故事值得被世人聆聽。――白彬菊（Beatrice S. Bartlett），耶魯大學歷史系教授令人心碎……一本非常扣人心弦的著作。這本書關於暴行的描述，不僅點出日本帝國軍國主義的根本問題，更呈現了施虐者、強暴者、殺人者的心理問題。――魏斐德（Frederic Wakeman），加州大學柏克萊分校東亞研究所（Institute of East Asian Studies）所長今日的美國，有人做出了正義而美好的事情，她揭發了塵封已久的醜陋惡

A brief stay in France was, for many Chinese workers and Chinese Communist Party leaders, a vital stepping stone for their careers during the cultural and political push to modernize China after World War I. For the Chinese students who went abroad specifically to study Western art and literature, these trips meant something else entirely. Set against the backdrop of interwar Paris, Paris and the Art of Transposition uncovers previously marginalized archives to reveal the artistic strategies employed by Chinese artists and writers in the early twentieth-century transnational imaginary and to explain why Paris played such a central role in the global reception of modern Chinese literature and art.While previous studies of Chinese modernism have focused on how Western modernist aesthetics were adapted or translated to the Chinese context, Angie Chau does the opposite by turning to Paris in the Chinese imaginary and discussing the literary and visual artwork of five artists who moved betw

「科學」證據都可信嗎？為什麼沒有實證基礎的垃圾科學能夠進入法院，參與半數以上的冤案？咬痕、毛髮顯微鏡比對、纖維比對、工具痕跡、縱火調查、測謊、鞋印、血跡噴濺……審判中讓人堅信不移的「科學」證據，可能終結犯罪，卻也可能摧毀無辜者一生 從《CSI犯罪現場》、《法醫檔案》到享譽全球的FBI犯罪實驗室，司法鑑識專家在大眾文化裡一直被神話成犯罪終結者。但是從過去到現在，很多科學鑑識的方法，後來都證明是垃圾科學。這些錯誤的科學誤導陪審團，讓無辜者被判有罪，有些甚至是死刑案件。 美國的司法科學是一個不受監管的行業。站在使用「科學」證據和陪審團之間的，就只有法官。法官往往是根據判決先例而不是科學在做決定的。法律人評價證據時習慣沿用前例，導致他們欠缺能力檢驗科學證據，以及科學證據本身缺乏精進的動力，結果就是諸多可信度存疑的科學證據在法庭中不斷被使用。本書目的是希望一改以為司法科學萬無一失的錯誤描述。透過因垃圾科學而被判有罪的多起冤案故事，記錄他們對抗錯誤定罪的法庭交戰，帶領讀者深入了解千瘡百孔的司法制度核心與其對垃圾科學的回應、美國國家科學院對各種鑑識科學的檢驗，以及DNA鑑定對冤錯案件帶來的革命性影響。各界好評☆內容饒富興味、深入探究且令人信服，對法庭上不可靠的專家證詞敲響了駭人的警鐘。 ――New York Journal of Books☆讓人們更廣泛審視刑事司法制度中一個令人深感不安的面向，已經有許多人認為刑事司法制度中存在種族主義和偏見……作者揭露的這個普遍存在的不公平現象，甚至有可能對支持強勢法律與秩序的人造成動搖。――Publishers Weekly, Starred review☆讀者們，尤其是喜歡刑偵劇和其中萬無一失的犯罪實驗室的讀者，會對書中一長串司法科學技術清單感到震驚（這些技術被包括聯邦調查局在內的許多實驗室長期使用，高薪的「專家證人」也都表示贊同），經優秀的研究人員調查後，發現它們的結果都是不可靠或毫無價值的……這是法庭上對垃圾科學的精彩反駁。――Kirkus Reviews, Starred review☆引人入勝……嚴肅證明了我們在科學和法律方面都應保持謙遜，並承認我們的知識有限，且容易犯錯。正義問題太重要了，絕不容靠耍花招解決。――Washington Examiner☆直到上週我都還不假思索地相信測謊，直到我讀了這本

◎塔羅牌與撲克牌，哪個早？最早數字牌出自中國，經波斯傳入歐洲變成塔羅牌。 ◎天主教歷史中沒有女教皇，塔羅牌中的女教皇圖像是以誰為藍本？◎塔羅是藝術，最古老版本之一，就是由大英博物館圖書館員負責監修。 塔羅，是占卜工具？卡牌遊戲？還是古代神祕主義的象徵？ 起源可追溯到十五世紀中葉時期的義大利， 這些「畫著圖案的卡牌」，原本是貴族們閒暇時看圖說故事的娛樂， 直到十八至十九世紀，被法國占卜師引入，與歐洲盛行的神祕主義產生連結。塔羅牌共有78張，由22張大阿爾克納牌，與56張小阿爾克納牌組成。22張大阿爾克納源自22個希伯來文字，繪有愚者、戀人、皇后等主題圖卡，小阿爾克納類似撲克牌，有權杖、金幣、寶劍、聖杯等四種符號（花色）。大牌用來指出大範圍的命題或趨勢；小牌可從花色剖析細節。 本書作者為日本讀賣新聞社「美術導航」取材班， 內容集結自人氣專欄文章「愚者之旅The Art of Tarot」。 由日本第一間塔羅專門美術館東京塔羅美術館審定，從歷史、神話、哲學、靈數學等不同面向，看塔羅的起源故事。 ◎每個圖像背後都是一個歷史塔羅圖像的來源十分複雜，有聖經故事、希臘羅馬神話，還有亞里斯多德與畢德哥拉斯等古代智者流傳下了的智慧。 義大利米蘭有一幅1440年代所繪製的溼壁畫〈玩塔羅牌的人們〉， 能看到當時貴族們熱衷於玩卡牌（塔羅牌）遊戲的景象， 他們藉此遊戲傳達知識、傳承信仰、倫理，還能防止詛咒誕生。 ◎圖案的由來與象徵‧「塔牌」，就是巴別塔的故事神為了懲罰人類想建通天塔的傲慢，決定打亂人類語言，讓彼此再也無法溝通， 這個故事實在太有名，所以，塔牌上的塔經常被認為是巴別塔。 各版本的圖像都是塔頂被破壞，看似很不吉利，但翻到「塔牌」一定是壞事嗎？想想巴別塔故事的結尾。 ‧倒吊人牌，就是耶穌受難圖人為什麼倒吊？因為做壞事被懲罰？ 細看倒吊人牌會發現，他們表情平靜，不像受罰，更像出於己意的修行，讓人聯想到基督教常出現的畫作〈耶穌受難圖〉：犧牲自我成就所有人。 ‧教皇牌與惡魔牌，先人對權力與慾望的示警教皇代表神聖與正面，惡魔代表失衡與壓力，意義看似相反但細看圖案，教皇腳邊有兩把鑰匙，惡魔旁的兩名奴隸則被銬上鎖鏈，這個故事是在對人類示警：絕對的權力可以成聖，也會成魔，位居聖職頂點的教皇，只要禁不住慾望的陷阱，隨

◎有些事情，現在不做，以後就沒機會了！出發是最困難的，一旦出發了就會到達。◎38個徒步天裡24天有人陪走，21個晚餐有人招待，其實這是一趟台灣人情之旅。◎SO大遊台灣，沒有通篇大道理，因為走路和旅行是一個過程，同時也就是一個啟發。愛因斯坦曾經講過的一句話：「有了動機，其他問題都可以自行解決。」(Motivation will take care of the rest.)我的解讀是：當你決定做一件事，全世界都會來幫你。而，「出發」總是最困難～徒步環島這件事情，當你把它想得很容易，它就不容易；當你把它想得很困難，它就不困難。每個人都有自己的路線自己的方式，環島的方式有很多種，我只是選擇了一種最適合我的方式。2020.01.30出發，2020.03.11回家，內湖出發之後順時鐘方向，往淡水、基隆、宜蘭花東、墾丁，然後從高雄、台南……向台灣的四個極點燈塔繞一圈，再北上回台北。為什麼徒步環島？還願？家庭失和？中年危機？沒有還願或贊助，就只想「看看台灣」。沒想太多，純粹想走。放開心胸，你會得到更多。★內附：徒步環島日期、路程、公里紀錄，讓你可以按圖索驥，更輕鬆達成徒步環島的心願。◎代理經銷：白象文化更多精彩內容請見http://www.pressstore.com.tw/freereading/9789865488970.pdf

★ 入圍英國《金融時報》和施羅德（Schroders）共同評選的2023年度商業圖書獎（Business Book of the year Award）名單洞悉全球經濟資源的底層邏輯關鍵物質如何撼動全球金融、左右大國角力沙子，鹽，鐵，銅，石油（天然氣）和鋰。如果只看它們反映在交易市場上的價格，它們似乎都便宜得不值一提。但相較於它們在提煉，以及與其他物質的相輔應用之後，卻是我們得以擁有、享受現代生活的全部。從乾淨的水、衣服、藥品、食物、塑料，到鋪路的柏油、照明、電氣、溫室；晶圓、電動車、綠能……以至於研發與裝備疫苗的小玻璃瓶，一旦它們從產地「斷鍊」，便會引發全球各式各樣產品的「短缺」──自烏俄戰爭加上中美對抗以來，同樣的狀況不斷在世界各地上演。透過一次關於黃金路線的追尋，作者埃德・康威發現，我們幾乎沒有人知道這些從地底挖掘出來的物質，是以多少噸的沙土、犧牲多少大面積的山岳而來的──它們並未被計算在成本中，而開採它們、提煉它們的碳足跡，也從未出現在世人面前。埃德・康威希望透過這6項幾乎已從現代人眼中淡出的自然物質，重新講述一個關於人類進程的全新故事。如果你喜歡賈德‧戴蒙《槍炮、病菌與鋼鐵》、《第三種猩猩：人類的身世與未來》、或是提姆．馬歇爾的《牆的時代》、《用十張地圖看懂全球政經局勢》、《國旗的世界史》，還是路易斯‧達奈爾的《最後一個知識人：末日之後，擁有重建文明社會的器物、技術與知識原理》，那麼你不能錯過這本書！「一個引人入勝的人類故事。」──提姆．馬歇爾
