Everyone knows the most stressful day of middle school is picture day! And that's exactly where this yearbook-worthy graphic novel series opener begins: with reinventing yourself, drama, popularity, and the friends who see you through.Seventh-grader Viv never looks forward to picture day. It’s just another day where she wears a boring braid and no one notices her. (Her two best friends, Milo and Al, don’t count, of course.) But enough is enough. This year, she’s taking matters into her own hands. Literally. Viv grabs a pair of scissors, her phone for live-streaming, and, well, bye-bye braid.Suddenly Viv is an over-night influencer at Brinkley Middle School. Everyone wants her help planning their next big moment—from haircuts, to dance proposals, activist rallies and mathlete championships. She hardly even has time for her friends anymore. It’s exactly how she dreamed of reinventing herself…right?In the tradition of modern classics like Vera Brosgol's Be Prepared, Svetlana Chmakova's Aw

A group of magical misfit animals learns to appreciate their seemingly useless powers—and themselves—when they work together to thwart a villain’s attempt to steal their magic.Holly, a grey squirrel, and her animal friends have accepted that they will never be wizards’ familiars. Though they are each magical, their powers are so offbeat—Holly herself can conjure pastries (and only pastries)—that no professional magic-worker would choose any of them as a companion for noble quests. So instead of going on adventures, they languish at the Shelter for Rejected Familiars, where they are known as “shelterlings.”When an old friend appears with a plan for curing the shelterlings’ defective magic, everyone is on board to help him locate and retrieve the ingredients for a powerful spell. But when they learn that his offer is not what it seems, Holly and the shelterlings must fight to defend their magic, discovering in the process that their unorthodox skills may just be what is needed to save th

帶給愛因斯坦、林語堂等世界名人無限啟發的《薄伽梵歌》，愛默生更直接稱之為「天下第一書」，與《道德經》、《聖經》並列全世界翻譯版本最多的三大經典，現今已成為歐美商業時代的新聖經。如何無懼面對生死？如何提昇心靈意識？什麼才是人生的長久之計？怎樣實踐真正的瑜伽之道？本書闡述印度最精要經典《薄伽梵歌》的核心要義，幫助你瞭解古印度的智慧，並運用在現代生活中，從中找到心靈的出路。在這眾聲喧譁的時代，游離在各種宗教哲學邊緣探索心靈問題的人，你找到提昇自己精神力量的方法了嗎？本書以有根據、有實證的古印度經典《薄伽梵歌》為本，讓你瞭解，從物質世界到精神層面、從個人自己到周遭環境的所有世間真相，進而提供「什麼該做、什麼不該做」的依循準則，對於期望達到「身心靈淨化」的人，能提供實質的幫助。本書詳介《薄伽梵歌》的五項真理：「神、時間、物質能量、你自己、行動」，是認識印度智慧的最佳入門；同時，深入瞭解之後，我們也明白前四項是既定存在的；最後一項「行動」，則是唯一你能加以選擇、改變的部分！人生的向下沉淪或往上提昇，就取決於「當下的行動」。懂得如何去抉擇你的行動，才能進而提昇你的意識，最後真正改變自己的命運！專文推薦《薄伽梵歌》的原始經文若無合適的人指導，就很難正確理解，但本書作者的呈現方式讓《薄伽梵歌》變得容易親近，讓人閱讀愉快。同樣重要的是：本書也邀請讀者善用《薄伽梵歌》的智慧，以務實的方式應用在日常生活中。——香港中文大學、英國牛津大學印度研究中心教授，肯尼斯‧華培博士（Dr. Kenneth R. Valpey）◎關於《薄伽梵歌》印度兩大史詩之一《摩訶婆羅多》，是全世界最長的史詩，約有十一萬句詩。表面上，其內容是古印度文明的歷史和教化；但實際上，它是以故事的形式，來闡述深奧的生死哲理和人生目標。影響印度、東南亞各國及佛教之文化生活、哲學思想甚鉅。而《薄伽梵歌》雖然只占了其中七百句，卻是古印度部族及現代印度民族的最高精神象徵，如果不知《薄伽梵歌》，就難以理解印度民族。《薄伽梵歌》是印度哲學及宗教的根基，它不僅受到古印度大師商羯羅的讚揚，兩百年前也震驚了歐美思想界，甚至成為歐美商業時代的新聖經，而祂更是全世界追求身心靈完美的人必讀的經典。◎媒體報導《薄伽梵歌》2006年，印度經典也成為美國哈佛商學院、華頓商學院的必修課程。……應用《薄伽梵歌》在綠色企業、僕人領袖、永續發展的理論。——摘自《遠

★ 探討「生物設計×人工智慧」如何重塑建築與城市未來★ 從都市微生物到地質尺度，拓展設計的時間與空間想像★ 結合實務案例與學術研究，提出設計作為「共生系統」的全新觀點在人工智慧與氣候危機交織的當代，設計的角色正快速轉變。本書《Biodesign in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Deep Green》由創新設計團隊 ecoLogicStudio 主導，延續其前作《Systemic Architecture》，進一步提出「設計智慧」不僅屬於數位領域，也深植於生物系統之中。全書分為兩大部分：第一部分「PhotoSynthetica™」聚焦於都市尺度的應用，透過介入城市微生物生態系，發展能即時回應環境的設計方案；第二部分「Deep Green」則將視野擴展至更宏觀的時空尺度，探索合成地景與長時間演化過程，將設計視為一種影響地理與地質的力量。作者結合於 University of Innsbruck 與 UCL Bartlett School of Architecture 的研究成果，提出設計應被理解為一種延伸的認知介面——一個具有感知能力、能與地球生命系統共演化的存在。在無法簡單「逆轉」氣候變遷的現實下，本書主張我們應建立新的正向變化動能，讓建築與設計成為維繫地球美感與生命力的重要角色。這不僅是一本關於未來設計的書，更是一份重新思考人類、科技與自然關係的深刻提案。Biodesign in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Deep Green investigates the potential of nature-based technology for shaping the evolution of contemporary architecture and design. It takes on the now pervasive topic of design intelligence, extending its definition to encompass both biological and digital realms.As in their first title, Systemic Architecture: Operating Manual for the Se
