引用德國萊比錫管理學院（HHL Leipzig）教授梅因哈特（Timo Meynhardt）話來說，約瑟夫˙馬齊里洛是彼得˙杜拉克的「合法繼承人」。然而，約瑟夫˙馬齊里洛本身也是一位學者，有他個人的興趣、熱情、貢獻和觀點。本書（他的最後遺作）表達了他作為思想家、作家，尤其是影響了眾多世人的個人特質。《原則：指引人類邁向更崇高的目標》這本書，闡明了約瑟夫對於管理學成為一門博雅技藝的理解和個人的解讀。正如他在〈內容提要〉中所言，這本書旨在提供有關卓越領導力的一些短文。雖然杜拉克在他的寫作中很少使用「領導力」（leadership）這個詞，但約瑟夫在這部著作中欣然接受了這個詞，聲稱領導力是管理學成為一門博雅技藝的基礎。本書證明了約瑟夫多年來處理杜拉克的想法、理念、理論和方法，然後將之應用於他自己的想法、概念、理論和方法。這本書固然是杜拉克資料的綜合體，卻也是約瑟夫．馬齊里洛多年的研究、思維和獨特處理方法的產物。作者利用四年時間彙整出七篇傳記類的短文。這些短文經由長時間孕育而成，在本書中交織成一個卓越領導力的故事。每一篇短文都有一個獨特、鮮明的主題，串聯到這個卓越領導力的故事。這七篇短文固然皆以卓越領導力為主題，但各有不同的背景。林肯（Abraham Lincoln）是典範，是美國培育出來的卓越領導力中最重要的表率；另外六篇短文接棒林肯的故事，各自闡述優質領導力的其他面向。第二篇短文聚焦於打破美國職棒大聯盟的膚色藩籬。布魯克林道奇隊的總經理芮基（Branch Ricky），在一九四六年簽下羅賓森（Jackie Roosevelt Robinson）。羅賓森是傑出的黑人運動員，勇於面對種族歧視的羞辱，忍氣吞聲、絕不還擊。他先在道奇隊位於蒙特婁的小聯盟球隊出賽，後來在一九四六年球季尾聲升上大聯盟。若要創造出更包容、更有效能的社會，我們必須師法羅賓森和芮基的決定。接下來的三篇短文有些類似的特色，雖不像前兩者那麼廣為人知，但各有其強勁有力之處。這三篇分別是：●〈可攜式維生系統〉（PLSS）：一九六九年七月二十九日首次登陸月球的太空人，使用的登月小艇環境控制系統（ECS）。●〈船上男孩〉（The Boys in The Boat）：這篇短文依據布朗（Daniel James Brown）的小說寫就，描述華盛頓大學划船隊勇奪一九三六年柏林奧運金牌的經過。●〈冰上奇蹟〉（Miracle

◎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

Can we ever go home again? This question lies at the heart of Homecomings by Wong Yoon Wah, a veteran Singaporean poet and a prominent voice in global Chinese literature.In these poems, Wong delves into his country’s precolonial and colonial history, the natural heritage of the rainforest, his memories of his kampung hometown, his heartbreak at the closure of Nanyang University, and the global traumas of European colonisation and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.He expresses the loneliness and dislocation of the Chinese diaspora, as well as the sorrow of his generation as so many of their cultural touchstones are destroyed in the name of progress. At the same time, he embraces a planetary mode of thinking, sensing rapport with fellow humans from distant cultures and geographies, identifying even with the plants and animals that compose our ecosystem.Filled with nostalgia, bitter irony and strange beauty, Homecomings is a love letter to the past, revisiting its glories, making peace with t

什麼是長十八世紀？從歷史、文學、性別、視覺文化等主題理解英國在此長風破浪的大時代所思辨的問題，以及與世界的關係「長十八世紀」（the long eighteenth century）是由英國學界提出的概念，特別在英國的歷史、藝術、文學與文化語境中使用。界定長十八世紀有幾種方式，而《浩蕩英華》所關注的時段，開始於光榮革命的1688年，結束於《改革法案》通過的1832年，前後約莫一個半世紀。「長十八世紀」奠定了今日英國現代化的基礎，是英國能在世界舞臺上發展其文化、商業、工業與帝國事業，並且也是許多重要思想百花齊放的關鍵時期。然而相較於歐美學界，臺灣對於「長十八世紀」仍較為陌生，因此《浩蕩英華》期望向臺灣讀者介紹並廣布此一概念。在本書所收錄的六篇文章，讀者可以藉由邱園古塔的建造與魏客霏的異國書寫，追尋中英文化交流的軌跡；在布雷克的詩作與牛奶女工的圖像中，探索十八世紀的性別意識與印象；透過蘭姆與梁遇春、司各特與蓋伯頓的散文和小說，解讀文學心靈跨世紀的激盪與辯證。名家推薦陳國榮（國立中正大學外國語文學系教授）趙順良（國立政治大學英國語文學系教授）——專文推薦王德威（哈佛大學講座教授，中央研究院院士）單德興（中央研究院歐美研究所特聘研究員）馮品佳（國立陽明交通大學外國語文學系終身講座教授）——誠摯推薦（依姓名筆畫排序）
