在《The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k》中，Mark Manson 挑戰流行的「一切皆正面」信條，主張幸福來自對真實的接納，而非盲目的樂觀。他指出，人類有限而有缺陷，世界並不公平，也非所有努力都會有回報。我們應該辨別哪些事情值得投入心力，並勇於面對不舒服的真相。書中穿插生活化的例子與幽默的比喻，既讓人發笑，也迫使讀者反思價值觀。本書是一劑直白的真話，為讀者提供更務實、更踏實的生活觀。#1 New York Times BestsellerOver 5 million copies soldIn this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.

Frank McClean (1837–1904) was not only an astronomer and pioneer of objective prism spectrography, but also an accomplished and systematic collector of art, books and manuscripts. McClean's collections, which were left to the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, on his death, were at that time the most notable bequest since the Museum's foundation. The fifteenth- and sixteenth-century printed books in his bequest, most of them produced in continental Europe, are described here in detail, with bibliographical descriptions and information on their provenance. Illustrated books are listed separately. The author of the catalogue, Charles Edward Sayle (1864–1924) was an erudite and popular librarian whose career was devoted to cataloguing and editing rare books in the University of Cambridge. His obituary praised him as 'a fine example of the type of man who likes to catalogue things in the right order'.
