人類對色彩的持續探尋，改變了我們看待世界的方式從凱利綠到千禧粉，各種豐富色彩總是為我們的世界增添風采。但人造色彩未必都能媲美千變萬化的自然色彩。要仿造出最鮮亮極致的自然色彩，需要歷經千年的非凡創新，以及科學與工藝之間饒富趣味的跨領域交流，才能讓我們打造與裝飾的世界，展現出最亮麗的外觀。在《全光譜》一書中，羅傑斯帶領讀者踏上一趟漫步全球之旅，沿著最早期人類製造顏色的足跡，一路追尋到今日與未來的數位合成色彩。讀者將看到人類祖先在洞窟裡將木炭搗成糊，絲路商人競相叫賣製作最為精良的陶瓷，織品藝術家破解色彩是如何混合的數世紀之謎，再飛躍到現代，一窺代價高昂的商業間諜行動，以及永遠重新改寫色彩規則的數位革命。羅傑斯透過與本書主題同樣精彩的文筆，打開一扇通往神奇奧茲王國之門，針對人類為了創造更豔麗奪目的世界，而展開橫跨古今中外的追尋之旅，分享了其中最為生動的故事。各界讚譽亞當．羅傑斯的著作《全光譜》就是你會想讀關於色彩的一本書——閃爍著藍寶石、金寶石、綠寶石、紅玉髓在內的所有寶石光芒，點綴著我們的周遭世界。但就如掛毯上的絲線，交織其中的遠不只如此，更包括歷史、科學，以及人類文化具有多種色調的彩虹光譜。出色的科學著作向來罕見，本書便是其一。——普立茲獎作家、《試毒小組》（The Poison Squad）與《落毒事件簿》（The Poisoners Handbook）作者　黛博拉．布魯姆（Deborah Blum）我很愛有人搖醒我，讓我看清自己在夢遊期間發生了什麼事。亞當．羅傑斯在本書中便做到了這點。他讓我知道，今日隨處可見的色彩都是源自我們發明的科技！我們發明出來的色彩！真是令人大開眼界！——《紐約時報》暢銷書《必然》（The Inevitable）作者　凱文．凱利（Kevin Kelly）這本極具人性之書，將帶領讀者踏上一趟關於色彩學的千變萬化世界之旅。這正是那種會讓你以全新角度看待一切的書籍之一——你會開始到處辨識哪裡用了什麼顏料，再回頭鑽研本書，發覺隱藏其後的智識之旅。——《紐約時報》暢銷書《10種物質改變世界》（Stuff Matters）與《液體》（Liquid Rules）作者　馬克．米奧多尼克（Mark Miodownik）本書是深入鑽研其主題的書籍之最，亞當．羅傑斯則是我最愛的科學作家。閱讀本書感覺就像長時間享用一頓令人垂涎三尺的美味大餐，用餐對象還是你認識最有趣

來自反烏托邦的報導，充滿哀愁又引人入勝獲獎無數的歷史學家寫下未忘之地的歷史◎ 《大西洋雜誌》（The Atlantic）2016年最佳圖書「衛兵打開行李箱，往裡頭瞧了瞧，關上行李箱，檢查我們的傳真許可文件，然後揮揮手，讓我們進入車諾比隔離區。我關心車諾比隔離區近十年，卻到了這個時候才得以進入一窺究竟。我想起安德烈．塔可夫斯基（Andrei Tarkovsky）1979年的電影《潛行者》（Stalker）禁區（the Zone）裡的荒涼景象。在塔可夫斯基的電影及我的想像裡，禁區四處可見生鏽的工廠廠房、倒塌的電話線與被陰暗森林占據的建築物。除了人煙稀少、設下重重障礙與衛兵把守，禁區還散發著一股神祕而致命的力量，威脅要殺害暴露者的子孫，或讓他們出現突變。在塔可夫斯基的電影裡，潛行者為了賺取一小筆錢，祕密帶領冒險者進入禁區，想揭露其中的謎團。他們在夜色與濃霧的掩護下潛入，在傾頹的工業廢墟間躲避子彈。」 凱特．布朗是一位極富想像力的歷史學家，也是作家與旅行家。她認為，「歷史學家能親自走一趟自己研究的地方，真正體會自己論文的主題，一定能寫出更好的歷史作品。」在《惡托邦記》裡，她進行一場令人驚訝且不尋常的田野之旅，前往遭忽視或抹滅的邊緣地帶，探究這些地方的歷史。 她漫遊車諾比隔離區，先是在網路上，之後親自前往。她想知道現實與虛擬何者才是真正的偽造。她來到西雅圖一家飯店的地下室，檢視1942年日裔美國人被送往監禁營途中存放在地下室的個人物品。在烏克蘭的烏曼，她躲在樹上，觀看只有哈西迪猶太男性才能參加的猶太新年慶典。在俄羅斯烏拉山脈南部，她與克什特姆小鎮居民談話，當地不可見的輻射汙染物正神秘地讓生活陷入困境。最後，她回到出生地，中西部工業鐵鏽帶的伊利諾州埃爾金，考察懷「鏽」情緒的興起與自身的成長經驗，如何開啟她對現代主義荒原的探索。 布朗在本書開頭寫道：「在前往故事發生地旅行的二十年間，我遊遍部分東歐、中亞與美國西部。不知不覺地，我竟成為一名專業的災難觀光客。在撰寫歷史的過程中，我歷經一連串現代主義的荒原，一個比一個惡名遠播，一個比一個孤寂淒涼。」多年來她造訪的地方都不是旅遊勝地，而是所謂的「惡托邦」（dystopia），即被遺忘了的，甚至刻意被遺忘的厭惡之地。 《惡托邦記》帶領讀者來到這些非典型的現場，有力而動人地描述被消音、破壞或汙染的地方歷史。在講述這些過去無人知曉的

班夫山岳展得獎作品（Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel）我和派特交往後的第一個夏天，就跑到北極圈的某條偏遠河流露營兩個月，從此心心念念想要再來一次壯闊的冒險。但之後我投身學術研究，派特則開了一間建築公司，彼此的行事曆上再也看不見潮汐和季節，只剩下截稿期限和施工進度表。我的研究主題是阿拉斯加鳥類的畸形鳥喙，完成博士論文答辯後，指導教授提議慶祝，但我只覺得難堪。對原野的愛促使我投身學術，花費數千個小時盯著顯微鏡，觀察飼養的山雀，卻也讓我遠離自然，忘了最初為什麼想成為生物學家。即將展開的學術生涯愈來愈像刑期，而不是大好機會。我的世界出現兩個版本：原野，還是家庭？大自然，還是科學研究？我把自己困在難以化解的分歧裡。我堅信在地圖上的兩點間可以找到答案，一端是遇見派特的太平洋西北沿海小鎮，一端是從未見過的北極冰封大地。我們決心以划船、步行和滑雪，完成這趟超過六千公里的旅程。沿途聆聽候鳥鳴唱和踩上地衣的聲響，嗅聞暴雨過後凍土的氣味，追蹤美洲馴鹿的足跡，或是與白鯨同游。出發前，有人問我們為何踏上這趟旅程，是什麼事情促使我們想「人間蒸發」片刻。我試著解釋我們並不是想逃避現實，不是想逃離破碎的婚姻、藥物成癮或學術上的挫敗。我們無意破紀錄或締造第一。我們只是想要找到回家的路。「想像有人在原野中跋涉了比雪兒．史翠德（Cheryl Strayed）還長四倍的距離，沒有指南，且得穿越足以吸乾馴鹿的蚊蟲大軍。在這本充滿勇氣的優雅作品中，鳥類學家卡洛琳．范．希莫特拋下困在實驗室籠中的山雀，踏上壯闊的北極遷徙之旅，再次親炙當初促使她投身科學的大自然。對我們這些較不擅長製作划槳船、避開雪崩、擊退飢餓熊隻的人來說，這本深入且親密的著作提供了一窺壯美原野的大好機會。」－－艾蜜莉．埃米莉（Emily Voigt），著有The Dragon Behind the Glass「鳥類學家兼博物學家卡洛琳．范．希莫特撰寫了一本從太平洋沿岸到北極海的旅遊紀事，這是一場成功的原野旅行，充滿對科學的好奇。在優美的寫作中揭示崇高的熱情，以及人類與大自然間的溫柔觸碰。」－－約翰．馬茲羅夫（John Marzluff），野生動物學教授，著有Welcome to Subirdia「大多數冒險是從地圖開始，循著一條看似可行的路線前進，最後可能發現實際路況比想像中困難許

本書特色Analyzing authors by analyzing the words they use;Revealing the person behind the pages by revealing the condition of language.序【Acknowledgements】 I want to thank Mr. Michael Song, the President of Showwe Publisher (Taipei, Taiwan), for his encouragement and his thoughtfulness. My thanks also go to Irene Cheng and Lestat Yin for making this book possible.【Preface】 The initial idea of writing such a book on the condition of language comes from a question, which was asked by Jean-Paul Sartre in his book, What is Literature? In fact, Sartre truly wanted to ask himself and the readers, this essential question - 'What is Writing'? In Sartre's Words, again, he mentioned the way in which Charles Schweitzer was 'amazed' (Sartre 89) by the French language. In some ways, Schweitzer did not consider himself 'as a writer' - he 'played' with the language, and yet, 'had not quite made it his own' (Sartre 89). Sartre's words indicate that to write in a specific language - as a writer - firstl

《星光兄弟會 -歐洲冒險之旅》(原文：Brother of the Third Degree)是一本出版於1894年，主角們追尋永恆貞潔之愛的玄幻冒險小說。它的時代設定在20世紀初期。本書男主角-阿方索•柯羅諾是位墨西哥人。他的父母是白色兄弟會的成員。他後來搬到巴黎並且透過儀式加入這個神秘社團。 他在這個團體裡面遇見自己的靈魂伴侶-艾歐麗。他們遇見了聖哲曼和其他的大師， 在幕後幫助20世紀的歐洲解決紛亂危機 ，最終脫胎換骨，超凡入聖。讀者們可以從書中發現現代人對於白色兄弟會的各種看法早在1890年代就已經成形-四處漂泊而且長生不老的大師、角色們利用神秘力量推動政治變革以及擁有各種奇特力量的神通人士。這些概念後來變成了"我是"運動以及其他新時代團體的信條。嘉佛精準預測20世紀的歐洲會在經歷過一段戰亂之後和平統一。儘管書中有些誇張的情節，它依舊是一本容易閱讀的好書。許多19世紀出版的玄幻小說在可讀性方面都不及本書的一半。本書的流暢劇情和令人印象深刻的角色，堪稱是《達文西密碼》的古老前輩。

Lemony Snicket meets Roald Dahl in this "wickedly funny" (James Ponti, New York Times bestselling author), deliciously macabre, and highly illustrated tale of a hungry beast, a vain immortal man, and a not-so-charming little girl who doesn't know she's about to be eaten. Beauty comes at a price. And no one knows that better than Ebenezer Tweezer, who has stayed beautiful for 511 years. How, you may wonder? Ebenezer simply has to feed the beast in the attic of his mansion. In return for meals of performing monkeys, statues of Winston Churchill, and the occasional cactus, Ebenezer gets potions that keep him young and beautiful, as well as other presents. But the beast grows ever greedier with each meal, and one day he announces that he'd like to eat a nice, juicy child next. Ebenezer has never done anything quite this terrible to hold onto his wonderful life. Still, he finds the absolutely snottiest, naughtiest, and most frankly unpleasant child he can and prepares to feed her to the bea

This book has been specially planned to both commemorate and celebrate this milestone, and we have invited University of California, Irvine, professor Bert Scruggs to serve as guest editor to assist with its preparation and realization. The issue is divided into two parts: the first part is dedicated to a review of the publication history of the journal, its manner of selecting works to publish, as well as its contributions to the scholarly field. There are also research essays that consider the works chosen for translation themselves. The second part of the issue commemorates my retirement after more than forty years of teaching at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The main objectives of my work have been the English translation and introduction of Taiwan Literature. We have, therefore, included articles that consider my poetry, English translation, and scholarly research.創刊於1996年的《台灣文學英譯叢刊》持續了二十五年，共出版48集。我們特地策劃這一紀念專輯，以示慶祝。我們特地邀請爾灣加州大學台灣文學教授古芃擔任策劃和執行的客座編輯。這一專輯包括兩個部分：第一部分是關於
