自然界中的多樣性與美麗總是令人嘆為觀止，我們把這意想不到的創造力背後的機制稱為「BI生物智慧(Biological Intelligence)」。設計與建造一座建築與創造一個新的生命有著極高的相似性，我們可以藉由對生物智慧的理解來學習創造永續的建築。由生物智慧所啟發的四個面向「起源」、「型態」、「界面」、「循環」各自包含數個模組，如同設計者的工具箱，助益建築創造與設計的流程。本書以九典聯合建築師事務所的案例，示範BI生物智慧如何引導我們創作豐富多樣的建築。「《BI生物智慧—建築創意的源頭》（英文書名BI：the Origin of Architecture Creativity），是受達爾文“On the Origin of Species”(《物種起源》)的啟發，大自然自我創造，沒有意圖，也沒有藍圖，卻成就如此令人驚豔的生態系，而且生生不息，這其中的奧秘其實很簡單，也正是我們創造建築時最該師法的。達爾文的《物種起源》顛覆了人類對自己來自何處的了解，我們希望以他為師，顛覆人們對建築創意的了解。」—九典聯合建築師事務所共同創辦人 郭英釗

'A fascinating tale of poisons and poisonous deeds which both educates and entertains.' - Kathy ReichsAs any reader of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring — and popular — weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the fascinating tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins, showing how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads readers on a fascinating tour of the intricate, com

The definitive history of the 1990s New York Knicks, illustrating how Pat Riley, Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Charles Oakley, and Anthony Mason resurrected the iconic franchise through oppressive physicality and unmatched grit. For nearly an entire generation, the New York Knicks have been a laughingstock franchise. Since 2001, they've spent more money, lost more games, and won fewer playoff series than any other NBA team. But during the preceding era, the Big Apple had a club it was madly in love with--one that earned respect not only by winning, but through brute force. The Knicks were always looking for fights, often at the encouragement of Pat Riley. They fought opposing players. They fought each other. Hell, they even occasionally fought their own coaches. The NBA didn't take kindly to their fighting spirit. Within two years, league officials moved to alter several rules to stop New York from turning its basketball games into bloody mudwrestling matches. Nevertheless, as the 1990s

Bring the mysterious and magical world of Emily Dickinson into your home by making the comforting foods that Emily loved to cook. Whether you are a fan of the hit television series Dickinson or have long been inspired by Emily Dickinson's poems, this enchanting cookbook brings Emily to life as little else could.

She wrote poems on the wrappers of packages of chocolate that she had ordered for baking; and she wrote recipes in her notebooks of poems. Food and cooking were central to Emily's identity and were woven into her vocation of writing poetry. The more than 50 recipes in this colorful and lavishly illustrated book include recipes that Emily recorded during her life, other recipes we know she and her family enjoyed, and re

In the vein of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, a riveting work of narrative nonfiction centering on the unsolved disappearance of an American backpacker in India--one of at least two dozen tourists who have met a similar fate in the remote and storied Parvati Valley.For centuries, India has enthralled westerners looking for an exotic getaway, a brief immersion in yoga and meditation, or in rare cases, a true pilgrimage to find spiritual revelation. Justin Alexander Shetler, an inveterate traveler trained in wilderness survival, was one such seeker.In his early thirties Shetler quit his job at a tech startup and set out on a global journey: across the United States by motorcycle, then down to South America, and on to the Philippines, Thailand, and Nepal, in search of authentic experiences and meaningful encounters, while also documenting his travels on Instagram. His enigmatic character and magnetic personality gained him a devoted following who lived vicariously through his adventures. B

In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love whomever they please (or so it seems). The fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists betrothal to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means. In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. And in 2093, in a world riven by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist's damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him-and solve the mystery of her husband's disappearances.These three sections are joined in an enthralling and ingenious symphony, as recurring notes and themes deepen and enrich one another: A townhouse in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village; illness, and treatments that come at a terrible cost; wealth and squalor; the weak and the strong; race; the definition of family, and o

這本文集的主題毋論從大處著眼、或從特殊專題出發，不外是筆者聚焦兩次世紀之際（十九世紀末至二十世紀初葉，二十世紀末至二十一世紀初葉），史學學術風尚變化所作的省思；居中有破、也有立。此中，自然涉及史學與其他學科分分合合的故事。本書所選的十三篇文章，均是思索近年西方史學發展的趨勢，但願對中國史學的開展有所借鑑，甚或助益。要言之，19世紀乃是西方史學的黃金時代，歷史研究取得突破性的進展，以蘭克（Leopold von Ranke, 1795–1886）為首的名家輩出，馳騁西方學界，睥睨一切。1902年德國史家孟森（Theodor Mommsen, 1817–1903）得憑羅馬史的鉅著，獲頒諾貝爾獎的殊榮，便是一例。然而，反諷的是，自此史學的聲望卻從巔峰下墜，難以挽回頹勢。其故，無非世紀之際，新興社會科學的崛起；昔為「學問女王」（the Queen of Knowledge）的史學，驟成眾矢之的，備受挑戰。而史學應付無方，節節敗退，割地賠款乃是常事。甚而，歷史作為一門專業知識，致遭無用之譏。然而人類的活動原是時序的產物，欠缺歷史作為個人或群體記憶的指引，人們難免茫茫然，無所適從。或許如是，二十世紀末葉史學的發展居然峰迴路轉，起了極大的變化；原來失憶時間面向的人文及社會科學，終於覺識到歷史意識的重要，而有了明顯的轉變，進入了人文及社會科學「重新發現歷史」、史學研究眾聲喧嘩的時期。我將此一變化梳理成〈歷史的轉向―二十世紀晚期人文科學歷史意識的再興〉一文，以供學界參考。――黃進興

鑑於印度大學目前使用的華語教材相當老舊，且與印度的國情與文化有極大差距，故印度臺灣華語教育中心決議為印度學習者編寫一套國別化華語教材。本書以幽默有趣的故事、文化對比的角度介紹臺灣和印度的文化特色。主要學習對象為在印度大學學習華語第二年、華語程度A2 - B1的印度學生，以文化比較與語言學習為主軸，設計在地化的教材。每一課分為七部分：課程目標及課文屬性、課文對話、短文、生詞、語法、跨文化延伸和語言任務。希望此書在印度華語教材和臺印文化交流上扮演領頭羊角色，期盼拋磚引玉，能專門為在印度學習華語的學習者編寫更多元、更適性的華語教材。Given that the Mandarin textbooks currently used by Indian universities are pretty outdated, bearing a large gap with the Indian culture and condition of the nation, TEC has been proactive in advancing pedagogies and teaching materials. Incredible Mandarin is targeted at students learning Mandarin Chinese for the second year at Indian universities or those with Chinese skills between CEFR A2 and B1 levels. This book is designed with localized content aiming at cultural comparison and language learning for communication. The ten lessons are threaded by an interesting story, introducing cultural highlights of Taiwan and India through cross-culture comparison. Each lesson is divided into seven parts: Lesson Objectives and Topic
