Her best friend is the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi. At a local poetry performance one night, they meet a well-known photographer, and as the girls are then gradually drawn into her world, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman’s sophisticated home and handsome husband, Nick.

From the bestselling author of Awareness and The Way to Love comes a classic reissue of lessons to inspire readers every day of the year. With more than two million books sold and countless admirers throughout the world, Anthony de Mello is regarded as one of the most influential religious teachers of the past fifty years. Since his death in 1987, widespread recognition of his work's enduring value has continued to grow. In Awakening, de Mello explores “the wisdom that cannot be conveyed in human speech.” Through 365 meditations, blending the mystical traditions of both East and West, he creates the lessons of a profound “master” to his “pupil,” illustrating our common need for harmony and enlightenment. The daily parables, sometimes cryptic and often witty, are not meant so much to instruct as to awaken the understanding deep within the human heart.

The dialogue expands . . . When Neale Donald Walsch was experiencing one of the lowest points of his life, he decided to write a letter to God. What he did not expect was a response, with extraordinary answers covering all aspects of human existence - from happiness to money, to faith. The resulting book, Conversations with God, was an instant bestseller on publication in 1995 and has since sold millions of copies world-wide, changing countless lives everywhere. Conversations with God: Book 3 is the third volume of the original Conversations with God trilogy that takes us even further in our questioning and search for answers, dealing with universal truths of the highest order and the challenges and opportunities of the soul. This incredible series contains answers that will change you, your life and the way you view others.Also by Neale Donald Walsch and available from Hodder & Stoughton: Conversations with God, Books 2 and 3, Communion with God, Friendship with God, Applications

Syaman Rapongan is a chronicler of his people, the Tao, an Indigenous community who live on Orchid Island near the island of Taiwan. In Eyes of the Sky, he invites readers to learn the ways of this oceanic world--and to learn to see their own worlds anew through a Tao lens. Employing oral storytelling conventions, Eyes of the Sky opens by recounting the history of the Tao, from their mythic origins to the present day. Its first chapter is narrated by a giant trevally, a fish common to the waters around Orchid Island. It then tells the stories of three generations of a single family--father, son, and grandson--exploring the transformation of Tao society through their encounters with Han-Taiwanese modernity. Syaman Rapongan paints a vivid picture of his homeland--its mountains and seas, flora and fauna, climate and ecology--as well as local culture and customs. In describing fishing practices, canoe building, and conversations with friends from his village, he illustrates the Tao's ecolo

EQ作者vs達賴喇嘛現代科學 vs 藏密智慧西藏佛教最高領袖達賴喇嘛與西方各科系頂尖專家學者，從西方倫理學、生物學、醫學、神學，談到佛法的心識作用與情緒治療。關於情緒及其相關因素與健康的關係，東、西方的身心科學做了一次坦白而充分的溝通，足為現代人自我觀照的最指導。達賴喇嘛說情緒療癒本書收錄EQ作者丹尼爾．高曼與其他西方心理學、生理學、行為醫學和哲學領域的專家們，與達賴喇嘛在達蘭薩拉（Dharamsala），會商第三次「心性和生命會議」的紀錄，會中討論心性和生命科學如何與宗教建立溝通的橋樑。書中為我們解答了下列問題：心性有治療身體的能力嗎？免疫系統和情緒之間的關聯為何？倫理學是否有生物學的基礎？死亡如何幫助我們瞭解心性的本質？這些專家分別陳述他們研究領域的重大發現，並與達賴喇嘛及一些傑出禪修師一同討論。他們相互分享知識成果的目的不僅是為了增進彼此的瞭解，也是想對情緒體驗和健康之間的關係，得到一些新的洞察。 西方生理學家、生物學家和心理學家近年來才摸清情緒狀態和身心健康的相互影響關係。可是，佛教思想家早在兩千年前就已經覺察心性擁有強大治療能力。這次會議能夠請到西藏佛教的最高領袖出席，等於是促成了東西思想的交流和整合。

《歷史終結之後》提供一個前所未有的機會，讓我們得以走進當代一位偉大的政治思想家的心靈。 美國政治學者法蘭西斯‧福山在他一九九二年的暢銷書《歷史終結與最後之人》中主張，自由民主制的優越性標誌了人類政治與意識形態發展的終結。三十年後，隨著民粹的興起以及全球自由民主國家數量的減少，福山重新審視了他的著名論斷。 《歷史終結之後》一書中，編輯馬蒂爾德‧法斯廷對福山進行一系列深度訪談，對當今的自由民主提出了廣泛的分析。本書談到福山在身分認同、生物科技與政治秩序方面的著作，對威權主義的崛起以及民主在當今世界面臨的最大威脅提供了深刻的看法。福山仔細檢視川普的意外當選、美國社會政治規範的破壞以及中國崛起等議題，巧妙剖析了自由民主的困境，並探討我們如何防止它進一步衰退。他也談到一些個人的事，對他的生活與生涯、他思想的發展以及他最重要的幾本著作做了省思。▍各方推薦 「法蘭西斯．福山無疑是後冷戰時期最有影響力的政治學家之一。幾乎沒有人不曾聽過他的《歷史終結與最後之人》。在法斯廷與福山對談的這本精彩的書裡，我們對福山有了更多的認識：關於他的背景與學術研究、廣博的知識興趣、與新保守主義者的來往，以及他跟當代經濟學的關係。這本書的主題是福山作為一個人與一名學者；傳記作家與社會科學的研究者將會對此書充滿興趣。」──布蘭科．米拉諾維奇，《單獨的資本主義》（Capitalism, Alone）與《富人與窮人》（The Haves and the Have Nots） 「福山在這裡再次指出，歷史的目的是人類的尊嚴，而不是讓國家的靴子永遠踩在你的臉上。」──狄德莉．麥克勞斯基，《自由主義為何有效》（Why Liberalism Works） 「這一系列精彩訪談提供前所未有的機會，讓人得以一窺我們這個時代一位最具影響力的公共知識分子的內心世界。訪談話題從福山的幼年教育，到自由民主國家今天面臨的挑戰，包括中美貿易戰、世界各地威權主義的興起、人工智慧與臉書的威力，以及不斷強化的身分認同政治。一本好書。」──紐約市立大學研究生中心歷史教授海倫娜．羅森布拉特 「馬蒂爾德．法斯廷這本書令人讚嘆，是對讀者的絕佳服務。《歷史終結之後》糾正誤解，釐清問題，提出挑戰，而且刺激思想。此書細節充分，範圍廣泛，而且讓人把注意力聚焦在現有的問題上。自由主義和自由民主正遇到麻

後殖民論述大師愛德華．薩依德最後訪談錄薩依德是當代最傑出的文化評論家，他以強大的言論火力，捍衛巴勒斯坦建國運動，其影響力巨大，被喻為「巴勒斯坦之音」。本書是他生前最後幾年接受美國知名媒體人巴薩米安的系列訪談。主張「文化是一種抵抗滅絕和被抹拭的方法。」說明大眾抵抗對文化、歷史、社會變遷的核心性。「巴勒斯坦之音」――薩依德最後的發聲「凡是政治認同受到威脅的地方，文化都是一種抵抗滅絕和抹拭的方法。文化是「記憶」抵抗「遺忘」的一種方式。」本書是愛德華．薩依德（Edward W. Said）生前最後的文獻，薩依德於2003年9月25日因白血病逝世，本書於同年底出版，是他生前最後幾年接受美國知名媒體人巴薩米安（David Barsamian）的系列訪談。最早一篇始於1999年2月8日，最後一篇完成於2003年2月25日。其中經歷911恐怖攻擊事件，正是美國與伊斯蘭世界多事之秋。1969年以色列總理梅爾夫人的一番話；「看來沒有巴勒斯坦人這回事，……他們並不存在。」惹惱了這位當代大知識份子，自那以後薩依德以強大的言論火力，捍衛巴勒斯坦建國運動，成為該運動在西方的代言人。他高分貝的發言，並以其學術界的傑出成就，其巨大的影響力有如傳播網之發音，因此被喻為「巴勒斯坦之音」。薩依德是當代最傑出的文化評論家，也是西方學術界卓然特立的知識分子典型，兼具學者、美學家、媒體與國際政治觀察家、政治異議分子等多重角色，著述不輟，尤以「東方學論述」望重士林，開啟二十世末葉的後殖民思潮。其《東方主義》、《文化與帝國主義》可稱為他在文化研究工作上的雙璧。自1999年起巴薩米安與薩依德進行一系列的訪談，訪談記錄編輯成為本書。所有的訪談都是在科羅拉多州博爾德市的KGNU電台播放，KGNU是美國首要的社區電台之一，其中兩個訪談曾經全國性放送，一次是透過「替代電台」（Alternative Radio），一次是透過「接觸」 電台（Making Contact）。最後的訪談是在2003年2月，半年後，薩依德即因糾纏十餘年的白血病逝世，舉世知識界痛為哀悼，《文化與抵抗》成為這位「巴勒斯坦之音」最後的發聲。多年來薩依德為巴勒斯坦所做的努力，讓他付出不少代價，他被污衊為「散播恐怖的教授」。猶太人防衛聯盟稱他為納粹，他的辦公室被縱火，收到數不勝數的死亡恐嚇。與巴薩米安的這一系列訪談，主題包含：反恐戰爭、美伊戰爭、以巴衝突，乃
