With his signature laugh-out-loud humor, world-famous comedian George Lopez launches a magical series inspired by his own colorful childhood and Latinx folklore.In this illustrated contemporary fantasy, twelve-year-old Jorge is lonely and resentful after being sent to live with his grandparents. His first day at his new school doesn’t go well after catching the attention of his belligerent principal and the school bullies, so Jorge might be a little desperate for a friend.But the only kid who shares his interest in junk food and games turns out to be a young chupacabra—a legendary monster whose kind is known for being bloodthirsty livestock killers. The truth is, Carter is anything but savage—he's kind, a good listener, and has great taste in sneakers. Being friends with a mythical creature should be amazing, but when local cattle turn up dead and his principal suspects the truth, Jorge is torn. Should he trust that his friend is innocent and protect him from exposure, or reveal his da

The hilarious series continues in this second volume, available in paperback.Norse god Loki records the highs and lows of living on Earth as an eleven-year-old in grumbles, snarks, and doodles in his enchanted diary.

So far, Loki has managed to make only one human friend, Valerie. But he is irritated to learn that Valerie has made another friend. Then, at Thor’s birthday party (a pointless mortal ritual, though luckily there is cake), the magical hammer Mjolnir is stolen—and everyone suspects Loki! Can Loki find Thor’s hammer, discover who the real thief is, and clear his name—or will his jealousy over Valerie’s new frie

＊一念之轉、探究功課創始人拜倫凱蒂親自推薦 功課（The Work）是瓦解任何「不是你的真相」的途徑。覺知不是一個技巧，也不是一種特殊的思考方式，它純粹是把小我的亂碼解開了。 困惑是世上唯一的痛苦，一旦找到深入你內在的那把鑰匙，你就發現了無邊無際的自由。 自從拜倫凱蒂的《一念之轉》（Loving What Is）中譯本問世以來，受到廣泛讀者的喜愛，一念之轉（或者轉念作業）成了凱蒂所倡導的功課（The Work）的代名詞。轉念一詞，很自然地讓人們聯想到，指的是「轉變自己的想法」，這個理解和描述並非不正確，卻也無形中錯失了拜倫凱蒂功課的真正樣貌與核心精神，以及它可深可遠的應用。 作者為極少數在凱蒂身邊長期深入學習的華人之一，接觸到的世界各地功課實踐者，來自社會各行各業，男女老少，其中不乏心理諮商師、生化醫學博士、企業管理教練、心理學教授、醫師、律師、中學老師等等。他們紛紛繼而在自己的專業領域裡，將功課納入他們的執業範圍，甚至作為專業的研究主題。箇中翹楚便是斯坦福大學即將發布的長達14個月的實證研究報告，指出拜倫凱蒂功課帶來的療效，是目前藥物治療的二到三倍。功課改變了我們使用DNA的方式。90%的成員不僅僅是抑鬱、焦慮和壓力的症狀完全消失，他們對生活的幸福感、快樂、希望、感激、意義和參與度全部飆升。 「功課」不是一個理論，不是一個哲學，而是一個真真實實接地氣的修行法門。只要以開放的心去練習、去實際操作，它便能帶來生命的改變。它與宗教無關，卻能為信仰各種宗教的人們靈活運用，也和許多法門相輔相成，無論是「非暴力溝通」、「父母效能訓練」、「熱情測試」、「薩提爾的冰山理論」，乃至於「認知心理學」等等。 在心理學界，拜倫凱蒂功課註冊在案的學術名稱是「Inquiry-based Stress Reduction」（IBSR），即「基於探究減壓法」，至今為止，已有數十份學術研究報告發表，並早已符合美國心理學界認可的教育進修學分，近年甚至成為能幫助醫生減輕壓力的教育課程，由美國醫學學會（AMA）核准具有「繼續醫學教育」（CME）學分。 本書分享如何運用「功課」這個工具，靠自己轉化痛苦煩惱，得大自在，或許還能進一步去協助自己的親朋好友。不需要心理學的背景，不需要任何學歷，唯一需要的是你願意身體力行，去質疑困擾自己的種種想

專利的存在是為了保護創意和專業， 極端資本主義卻讓它成為公平正義的絆腳石。 本書審視從專利出現到新冠疫苗競賽的醫藥壟斷史， 解釋公共科學私有化導致醫藥界重視利潤甚於人類健康， 更揭露蓋茲基金會在疫苗供應危機中扮演的關鍵角色！ 《藥品帝國》講述人類歷史上最有爭議的其中一場鬥爭，其標的是生產救命藥品的合法權利。醫學最初是一門追求改善全人類生活的學科，但研究與智慧財產權結合，加上製藥業崛起，扭曲並最終破壞了醫學的道德基礎。自第二次世界大戰以來，美國政府資助的研究促成了多數重大醫學突破，但相關藥品往往完全由哄抬藥價、國際野心日盛的私營企業控制。為什麼美國政府以公眾的名義資助醫學的發展，卻把醫學研究成果的獨家權利送給製藥公司？這種制度如何掠奪我們的財富、使我們難以有效應對危機，以及在遇到愛滋病和新型冠狀病毒危機時危害世界的安全？ 亞歷山大・柴契克這本開創性的歷史著作概述多個世代的公共衛生和公共科學倡導者如何致力抗衡大藥廠和它們在政府中的盟友，記錄了醫學私有化如何發生於美國，然後全球化。本書從揮舞專利權的德國藥廠19世紀末進入美國市場、引起爭議，講到眼下製藥業如何與慈善組織（包括影響力龐大的蓋茲基金會）合作，阻礙了國際間促進新冠病毒疫苗接種的努力，為讀者講述了我們這個時代最重要但最鮮為人知的其中一段歷史。 【各界好評】 「想熟悉藥品的前世今生，但卻步於專有名詞與醫法論辯的讀者而言，本書提供嗆辣帶勁的庶民論述，從專利與壟斷的角度切入製藥業的光影，為大家注入面對當代醫藥巨靈，應對產業操作虛實的智識能量。」――郭文華，國立陽明交通大學科技與社會研究所╱公共衛生研究所教授 「《藥品帝國》提出重要的問題和論點，引人深思，是你現在必須閱讀的一本書。」――泰莉．史利琴邁爾（Terri Schlichenmeyer），《哥申新聞》（The Goshen News） 「醫藥專利壟斷興起的歷史極其複雜，但柴契克成功講述了這段歷史，告訴我們制度化的科學和醫學自20世紀初以來發生了多大的變化。」――尼可拉斯．格雷森．華德（Nicholas Greyson Ward），《進步》雜誌（The Progressive） 「部分是智慧財產權的歷史，部分是嚴厲的批判⋯⋯柴契克這本書內容豐富，讀來令人深感不安。」――《圖書館期刊》（Library Journal） 「勇氣可嘉的及時提醒⋯⋯有力地說明了將醫學知識變

◆日本神道文化體驗者、最理解大和魂的西方人◆――小 泉 八 雲――十五篇剖析傳統精神與信仰價值的哲思隨筆深入觀察日本人的民族性、體驗生活的內在本質＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝▋命運多舛，卻成就小泉八雲不平凡的一生在日本文學史上，一旦說起妖怪文學，小泉八雲毋庸置疑是此文類的鼻祖；而在日本近代史上，小泉八雲更是將日本文學推向世界潮流的第一人，被稱為是最理解大和魂的西方第一人！原為希臘人的小泉八雲，由於童年顛沛流離的生活所致，養成其敏銳的觀察力與感性多思的共情能力。在他初次接觸日本文化後，便對這異國風情心生嚮往，自此投身日本文化與文學的研究、翻譯與創作領域中。小泉八雲與日本的連結，除了在於他翻譯不輟、為西方打開一窺日本文化的窗扉，自己更與日本女子小泉節子婚娶，歸化日本籍，就連日本名八雲也出自最古老的書籍《古事紀》中的歌謠「八雲立，出雲八重垣」。▋深入日式精神與神道信仰，領悟珍貴的民族心性小泉八雲起初遠在太平洋另一端的美國，之所以對日本文化心生嚮往，始於一次博覽會所接觸的日本文物之美，後來透過雜誌社的採訪邀約，他終於有機會一睹大和魂的真相，也終於知道，這個島國在十九世紀末明治時期面臨全面西化，究竟在追求進步的過程中遺失了哪些珍貴的民族特性。如同本書《心》的書名原文「Kokoro」，在日文中具有許多含意，漢字寫作「心」，但在不同意境下，也象徵著「精神」與「記憶」──也就是大和民族的靈魂。在作者的自述中，本書收錄的文章皆在探討日本生活的內在，而非外表。「Kokoro」的「心」字，在情感上也指涉精神、心靈、勇氣、決心、感性、情愛，及內在的意義，一如英文常見的「the heart of thing」――即為「物之心」。比如〈在火車站〉一文中，以目睹警察讓被害者稚子直視兇手臉龐的畫面，傳達日本人勇敢面對創傷、莫忘犧牲代價的重要性；〈阿彌陀的比丘尼〉利用女子阿豐的身世驟變，輕巧闡釋入世與出世轉換的真諦；〈旅行日記〉、〈霍亂流行〉投射自己深入日本生活的隨想觀察；以〈業力〉、〈前世觀念〉有系統地論述形而上的日式精神；〈關於祖先崇拜的二三事〉探討神道文化對日本的影響，以及與大自然共存的和諧性。本書的十五篇短文便是小泉八雲在日本展開追尋、探求大和民族最真實一面的散文筆記。他時而以對話形式淺談在變與不變的社會變遷裡，最令日本人有所感悟的生活體驗；時而以外來者的宏觀立場，觀察這個民族建構

當代作家書寫他們的生存所在，為何「可畏」？只有那些倖免於肉身凌辱，尚未因種種劫難而成為行屍走肉的人，才得以在見證不義之餘，有能力想像種種恐怖並運用這可畏的想像力。這樣的想像有助於思辨政治情境，啟動政治情懷。——漢娜．鄂蘭（Hannah Arendt）王德威繼《跨世紀風華：當代小說20家》之後，又一本探討當代具代表性的小說家作品序論集，由此觀看當代文學的脈絡發展與時代意義。麥田的「當代小說家」書系自一九九六年推出後，至今已超過二十五年。這一書系涵蓋兩岸四地（台、港、陸、星馬）及全球華人小說家的傑作，展現華語文學的壯觀版圖。書系主編王德威，參與選書製作，並為每一本書寫下序論，介紹作家的特色，並觀照小說與政治、社會、人生的美學關聯。二○○二年，麥田結集二十篇序論出版《跨世紀風華：當代小說20家》一書，討論包括朱天文，舞鶴，朱天心，李昂，施叔青，余華，王安憶，莫言，蘇童，鍾曉陽，黃碧雲，駱以軍等作家的代表作品，呈現上個世紀末中文小說的種種風華面貌。接著從二○○二年到二○二二年，「當代小說家」書系陸續再出版了不少當時代的代表作品，如李永平《大河盡頭》、吳明益《單車失竊記》、陳冠中《盛世》、駱以軍《匡超人》、鍾文音《別送》、王安憶《一把刀，千个字》等，都曾引起廣泛討論。這些序論，連同系列以外的小說點評，編選之後共得三十一篇，即是這本書《可畏的想像力：當代小說31家》。王德威論及——過去二十年兩岸四地局勢波譎雲詭，世界危機重重。與此同時，數位科技爆發、環境物種嬗變——從全球暖化到生態污染——重新定義了人類與後人類的關係。當我們汲汲於眼前的意識形態和族裔紛爭，或持續科幻化、娛樂化種種災難的可能時，敏銳的小說家卻感受到「惘惘的威脅」撲面而來。他們的作品震撼人心，不僅在於形製新穎，更在於內容的不可思議。書名「可畏的想像力」，典出二十世紀最重要的思想家之一漢娜．鄂蘭（Hannah Arendt）的論述。在《極權主義的起源》（The Origins of Totalitarian）一書中，鄂蘭論二十世紀的暴政帶給世界種種傷害，不因某一特定政體或政權的消長而稍息。尤有甚者，暴政甚至可以最平庸無感的形式滲透到日常生活，並被視為當然，甚至膜之拜之。這是現代之「惡」最詭譎的形式。當此之際，鄂蘭呼籲我們必須鍛煉「可畏的想像力」，用以對抗歷史怪獸的無孔不入。本書三十一位作家按出生時序排列。首篇臺靜農先

「我們的周圍是一片黑暗，但我們是光， 用抗爭的光線吞噬黑暗，用燃燒的火炬刺破黑暗。 黑暗熄滅不了光，光照到哪裡，哪裡就有光明。」 人從誕生於世上開始，就沒有停止過與煩惱角力， 關係破裂、突發惡疾、財務窘境……總是一波未平一波又起， 既不可能完全避免生活中的負面因子，也不可能永遠樂觀面對， 那麼恰當地選擇暫時「逃離」，何以見得一定是壞事？ ▎媒體＆名家書評 「本森的書總能將你帶入一個思考的境地，而《逃離集》將你帶入反思戰爭、關於逃避和對美的追求的一種思考境地。」 ――《每日郵報》（Daily Mail） 「很多作品帶給你的力量都是無形的，它們是那麼安靜，但讀後卻能讓你陷入思考並有熱血沸騰之感，這就是好的作品，本森做到了。」 ――《格拉斯哥先驅報》（The Herald） 「本書的特殊之處在於，作者能將戰爭、逃避的本性、自由的理解等話題嵌入陌生的美感，賦予真正的詩意。」 ――《衛報》（The Guardian） 「我非常希望旅人在旅程中能為後人留下些許足跡，而且我也一直建議大家在力所能及的情況下，最好都要這樣做。」 ――托馬斯．格雷（Thomas Gray，英國著名詩人、學者、大學教授） ▎逃避一點也不可恥，有時還非常有用 戰爭、謊言、疾病，彷彿生活在這個世界，難題困境就從未止歇， 而人類為什麼一定要24小時直面這些痛苦？一定要假裝很堅強？ 本森指出，「逃避」是一種天性，不該受到他人猛烈抨擊。 社會不乏關於自殺的新聞，這些都歸因於他們仇視生活嗎？ ►聽聽本森怎麼說 「自殺的人非常熱愛生活，只是生活中的悲哀和恥辱實在讓他無法忍受。他是在努力尋找，試圖移居到其他的環境當中；他渴望生活，但又不能就這麼生活……只有動物能夠忍受，而滿懷希望尋找更好生存環境的人卻匆匆離開了這個世界。」 「人們為什麼怕死？那是因為死亡的陰影似乎遊蕩在我們熟悉的日常生活之中。什麼也不做，僅僅依賴於回顧過去的美好時光是件很可怕的事情……悲傷的時候回憶快樂的事情是最殘酷的折磨。」 ▎現實中無法實現的事情，大腦便塑造出夢境 人們的夢境常常出現一些不可思議的事情， 平常循規蹈矩的謙謙君子，在夢裡竟是十惡不赦的殺人魔； 清醒時沒有任何創作靈感，在夢裡文思泉湧、信手拈來…… 這難道是一個人潛意識的象徵嗎？又為什麼只在夢境發生呢？ ►聽聽本森怎麼說 「當一個人在清醒的時候，會覺得自己是在虛構和控制事件；在夢裡，這種
