The Sufi thinker ‘Abd al-Karim al-Jili (d. 1408) is best-known for his treatment of the idea of the Perfect Human, yet his masterpiece, al-Insan al-kamil (The Perfect Human), is in fact a wide-ranging

Monocle has always been a champion of taking it slow. It has encouraged readers to dive into a lake and go for a run. To sleep well. To eat food whose makers are proud of its provenance. In a shouty, jabbing-finger moment in history, it has done its bit to argue for a new modern etiquette to be generous with our time, hospitality and forgiveness. Now its editors and correspondents have brought all of this together in The Monocle Manifesto for a Gentler Life, a book that urges us all to slow down, reconnect, make good things and see nice places. And it also knows when to wear a cheeky smile. Chapters include:• An illustrated guide to being nice, respecting your neighbour and controlling your social media rants.• Profiles of the happiest nations – and the least lonely too.• How to build a house that’s good for you and your family.• Essays from leading thinkers and great writers on what we can gain if we shift gear.• The businesses charting a better course – from management to pride in pr

From the author and illustrator behind the acclaimed Moth, a scientific look at the circle of life.In the frost-covered forest of early spring, fox is on a mission to find food for her three cubs. As they grow, she teaches them how to survive in the wild. Until one day, fox dies. Her body goes back to earth and grass and air, nourishing the world around her and bringing the forest to life. Death is not just an end, it's also a beginning.With gorgeous illustrations and lyrical, kid-friendly text, Fox: A Circle of Life Story answers the big scientific question: What happens when animals die?

從屈原《天問》到「天問一號」；從亞里斯多德到NASA「毅力號」，所有古今中外的火星相關知識一把抓！ 從中國古代的「熒惑守心」到2021年的「火星 我們來了」！ 火星的幻想、火星的生死、火星的探索、火星的生命等，無所不談。 ★NASA退休科學家—李傑信睽違20年的火星最新力作！ ★最嚴謹的科學數據、最淺顯的文字所共譜的人類火星幻想物語 追尋火星生命：跟著水走！ 從1976年「維京人號」登陸火星起算，人類花費了無數金錢、精力與時間，癡情地在火星上尋找生命，然而卻一無所獲。一直到了2003年，人類回顧過去接近30年的研究歷程，終於歸納出嶄新的概念：生命必須與液態水共存，想要找尋火星生命，就必須跟著水走！ 太空觀測，誰與爭鋒，問鼎霸權？ 明朝的鄭和下西洋，在當代無疑是世上最大的一支遠洋艦隊，證明了當時的中國無論在科技、天文上均遙遙領先世界各國。然而在三百多年的時間裡面，原處於領先地位的中國，反而落後了西方至少二百多年。在將來幾個世紀裡，蘇聯、美國爭相競賽，角逐太空霸權；在蘇聯瓦解後，美國長期獨霸敖首。然而，隨著祝融號出發探測，東方文明經過努力的追逐，終於再次回到太空科技的爭霸擂台上！ 我們都是火星人！？ 火星與地球由於距離太陽的位置相近。依照推論，火星應該與地球經歷了相似的「前世」。火星較地球小上許多，因此星球生成步調應比地球快，比地球更早達到適合生命起源的環境。火星生命起源後，搭上頻繁發車的隕石列車，降臨到另一顆藍色行星上，成為地球上的亞當或夏娃，再逐漸演化為現今的無數生靈。 這看似荒謬的理論，事實上卻有嚴謹的科學研究與理論支持。也許我們一廂情願的移民火星旅程，其實是一條漫漫歸途！ 此生必做的一件事－在紅色行星上看藍色夕陽！ 2018年中，我在科博館策劃推出了一檔特展「漫步太陽系」，展期9個月，是科博館那一年的年度大展。您或許會奇怪，科博館人才濟濟，為什麼會輪到館長親自下海，策劃一檔年度大展？原因無他，就因為過去20年天文學家對太陽系認知的進展飛快，所累積的珍貴資料豐富而有趣，已經徹底改變了科學家對太陽系的認知，但這些知識卻還沒有進入體制內的教科書，所以社會大眾多半毫無概念，我看了著急，乾脆自
