This is the story of Blue, a T-Rex who navigates the life of being an investment banker. Blue adapts to the customs, lingo, and schedule of his workplace culture, offering humorous insights into the struggles of fitting in and changing. As time goes on, Blue finds that he misses the jungle he came from and his dinosaur friends, and questions the tedious cycle of meetings, overtimes, and early mornings, sparking a reflection on the true meaning of his dreams.This T-Rex’s story is meant to represent the sharp reality many young adults find when they actually achieve their dreams. Whether that is a dream career, college, or relationship, the magic of the dream is often not as it seems. This is not to discourage people from pursuing their dreams, but to show that dreams bend, change, and shift over time. ◎代理經銷：白象文化更多精彩內容請見http://www.pressstore.com.tw/freereading/9786263648654.pdf

Emperor Li Longji (r. 712–756), also known as Tang Xuanzong and the Brilliant Emperor (Minghuang), ruled over China at the height of her political, military, and cultural dominance. While his Tang dynasty reached the zenith of its power under his reign, his fascination with women and religion, coupled with his neglect of government, sowed the seeds of decline. The empire ultimately collapsed in a nationwide rebellion. Emerging from the crisis greatly weakened and deprived of power, Longji lived day by day, hoping for a reunion with his beloved woman, who had been murdered and was now in heaven.

The translator, Mr S. S. Liu, who has combined several conspicuous careers in one lifetime, has selected for this Anthology of Chinese Poetry, 101 poems from 47 poets, beginning with Fu Hs?an, in the third century, down to Jennings Wong, in the twentieth. This is a parallel text edition with the Chinese originals on the left-hand page facing the English translations on the right-hand. Concordances to the works of 38 other English translators are given in the Appendix.Mr. John Cairncross, a distinguished poet and skilful translator, who contributed a further seven translations to Professor Liu's, says in his Foreword.'All translators of poetry, it has often been observed, are expected to combine the conflicting desiderata of fidelity and beauty. But the task of the writer who sets out to English the Chinese poets is even more exacting. He must not only produce a work of art in his own language but also devise means of giving his Chinese version a specifically Chinese touch....At first b

PREFACEMy father’s escape from―and opposition to―totalitarianism dominated much of his writing. It permeated his beliefs about the empowerment of individuals, and the moral responsibility of organizationsto empower the individuals within their sphere.This collection emphasizes the principles of human choice, dignity; self-worth; and society’s role to achieve these ends, within a fair and equitable system.It was based on this shared belief system that my father and Ming Lo Shao developed a warm friendship―a friendship nurtured and maintained, with mutual respect, for many years until my father’s passing in 2005.This collection demonstrates the timeliness of my father’s writings, and their applicability to some of the critical situations facing our world today, almost 90 years after they were first penned.The Drucker family thanks Ming Lo Shao for his work in creating this anthology, and for his dedication to keeping Drucker’s writings alive and relevant for a new generation.Joan Drucker
