不賣命工作，就是懶惰？懶惰的究竟是不屈服於殖民資本主義的土著，還是一旁坐享其成的西方殖民侵略者？ 《懶惰土著的迷思》是已故馬來西亞社會學家及思想家賽胡先・阿拉塔斯討論去殖民東南亞研究和亞際研究的經典社會科學著作。該書探討16世紀至20世紀間，西方殖民者將殖民地土著視為懶惰民族的意識形態建構。在卡爾・曼海姆和知識社會學的基礎上，阿拉塔斯分析西方殖民者如何構建殖民地土著形象，以及這些迷思的塑造如何加強殖民意識形態和資本主義的運作邏輯。 這部發表於1977年的經典之作，旨在解構這個「懶惰土著的迷思（神話）」，並替這個形象除魅，是系統性批判殖民主義／歐洲中心主義知識的早期典範。用阿拉塔斯自己的話說，這本書的課題便是：「糾正單方面加諸於亞洲土著及其社會的殖民觀點⋯⋯對馬來西亞而言，這不僅僅是一則歷史研究習題：殖民時期的馬來人形象迫切需要被糾正，因為這個形象依然在部分有影響力的非馬來人當中發揮著巨大的作用，也影響了部分馬來知識分子。此形象只要繼續存在，就會損害民族融合的努力。這個形象也導致馬來人在就業上遭受一定程度的歧視：一些雇主避免聘用馬來人，因為他們認為馬來人懶惰。許多人也認為，馬來人天生不具備經商能力。這一切觀念都是源自於殖民時期的馬來人形象。」 本書的討論對象涵蓋馬來半島、菲律賓和印尼，超越現代民族國家界限和藩籬，思考群島（nusantara）共有的豐富多元文化、思想和傳統，以及這些文化如何在西方殖民者入侵後遭到扭曲。在殖民主義依舊魅影幢幢的現在，本書作為一本「去除殖民心靈」的經典，具有深刻的解放意義，歷史地回顧與批判殖民主義的來龍去脈，並檢視殖民統治賴以存在的前因後果。本書特色1. 1970年代吹響批判西方帝國／殖民主義號角的經典之作，為馬來西亞社會學家及思想家賽胡先・阿拉塔斯最重要著作的亞洲首次「無刪改」譯本。2. 特別收錄賽胡先・阿拉塔斯之子賽法立・阿拉塔斯為本書撰寫的中譯版序言。3. 挑戰西方帝國／殖民主義針對馬來世界具有剝削性的殖民資本主義意識形態。4. 對抗殖民主義論述，重建被殖民者自我形象與民族自信，看見被殖民者的真實面貌。共同推薦（依筆劃序）・王智明 ／中研院歐美所副研究員・王賡武 ／中研院院士、唐獎漢學獎得主・林建國 ／陽明交通大學外文系副教授・林開忠 ／暨南國際大學東南亞系副教授・高嘉謙 ／台灣大學中文系副教授・張錦忠 ／中山大學外文系副教授・

In the final volume of the New York Times-bestselling Olympians graphic novel series, author/artist George O'Connor focuses on Dionysos, the god of wine and madness. The Olympians saga draws to a close with the tale of Dionysos, the last Olympian, and maybe, just maybe, the first of a new type of God. His story is told by the first Olympian herself, Hestia, Goddess of the hearth and home. From her seat in the center of Mt. Olympus, Hestia relates the rise of Dionysos, from his birth to a mortal mother, to his discovery of wine, his battles with madness and his conquering of death itself, culminating, finally, in his ascent to Olympus and Godhood.

'A fascinating tale of poisons and poisonous deeds which both educates and entertains.' - Kathy ReichsAs any reader of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring — and popular — weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the fascinating tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins, showing how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads readers on a fascinating tour of the intricate, com

Rapturously singing Spice Girls songs in an amateur choir, losing games of chess to eight-year-olds, and dodging scorpions at a surf camp in Costa Rica, Vanderbilt tackles five main skills but learns so much more.

Now a major Netflix film by Jane Camption, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst: Thomas Savage's acclaimed Western is "a pitch-perfect evocation of time and place" (Boston Globe) for fans of East of Eden and Brokeback Mountain. Set in the wide-open spaces of the American West, The Power of the Dog is a stunning story of domestic tyranny, brutal masculinity, and thrilling defiance from one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in American literature. The novel tells the story of two brothers -- one magnetic but cruel, the other gentle and quiet -- and of the woman and young boy, mother and son, whose arrival on the brothers' ranch shatters an already tenuous peace. From the novel's startling first paragraph to its very last word, Thomas Savage's voice -- and the intense passion of his characters -- holds readers in thrall. "Gripping and powerful...A work of literary art." --Annie Proulx, from her afterword

Eros of International Relations: Self-Feminizing and the Claiming of Postcolonial Chineseness is a distinctive work that explores the much-neglected Chinese perspective in broader international relations theory. Using the concept of “self-feminizing”―adoption of a feminine identity to oblige and achieve mutual caring as a relational strategy―this book argues that postcolonial actors have employed gendered identities in order to survive the squeezing pressure of globalization and nationalism in their own ways. Sovereign actors who have historically claimed to act on behalf of Chineseness have taken advantage of the images of femininity thrust upon them by transnational capitalism, the media, or intellectual thought.Shih illustrates the feminist potential for emancipation through a range of empirical examples, showing that women of various Chinese characteristics, acting on behalf of their nation, city, and corporations, reject the masculinization of their groups of belonging as remedy f

In the 13 years since the second edition was published, we've seen the following developments which dramatically impact consultants starting in the profession or veterans in the profession.- Remote means of delivering services, from workshops to facilitation, from strategy to M&A work.- A waning of the power and repute of huge firms because of their cost and ponderous work methods, and a reception of less expensive, quicker small firms and solo practitioners. The mammals are scurrying amidst the dying dinosaurs.- A globalization of economy (that will resume post-pandemic) making exported knowledge a key contributor to income (if it were considered formally as an export it would seriously shift the trade imbalance).- The emergence of an African middle class, the decline of ancient dictators, and the growth of a huge potential marketplace in most countries on that continent.- The growing abandonment of "career" and reliance on large companies and the inclination to forge one's own se

Graphic, detailed history of US naval aviation from the early twentieth century to the end of the Second World War.The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 sank or crippled almost all of the battleships belonging to the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, but the fleet's aircraft carriers survived to demonstrate that naval aviation was now the dominant factor in the struggle at sea, turning the tide of the Pacific War. That the US Navy had the necessary ships, aircraft and crews was the result of pioneering, far-sighted decisions made in the pre-war years. Before the First World War the navy had recognised the potential of aircraft at sea, and it went on to develop the techniques and equipment that contributed so much to the defeat of the Japanese. This is the fascinating story Leo Marriott tells in this photographic history. In a selection of over 200 rare photographs he traces the growth of US naval aviation from the flimsy seaplanes of the first years of the twentieth century to

The last great master of the ukiyo-e tradition, Hiroshige produced works of subtle yet intense color. This collection of prints, first published in the 1850s, contains images of each of Japan’s provinces. Created during Hiroshige’s highly productive later years, this series was an ambitious project that captured a crucial moment in Japan’s history, a decade before the Meiji Restoration would open the doors to industrialization and Western influence.One of its most striking characteristics is the vertical presentation, which allowed Hiroshige to experiment with perspective. His sweeping panoramas of the beautiful countryside combine the illusion of distance with a depth of detail that draws the viewer in. In addition to these glorious landscapes, Hiroshige’s depictions of busy urban centers provide a rare insight into daily life in the Edo era.This beautiful slip- cased edition includes two volumes: a complete set of seventy prints and a separate booklet that provides an introduction to
