Yeongju is burned out. With her high-­flying career, demanding marriage, and busy life in Seoul, she knows she should feel successful, but all she feels is drained. Yet an abandoned dream nags at her, and in a leap of faith, she leaves her old life behind. After quitting her job and divorcing her husband, Yeongju moves to a small residential neighborhood outside the city, where she opens the Hyunam-dong Bookshop.For the first few months all Yeongju does is cry, but the long hours in the shop also give her time to mull over what makes a good bookseller and store. As she starts to read hungrily, host author events, and develop her own bookselling philosophy, she eases into her new setting. Surrounded by friends, writers, and the books that connect them all, she finds her new story as the Hyunam-dong Bookshop transforms into an inviting space for lost souls to rest, heal, and remember it's never too late to scrap the plot and start again.

How did lay people in old China save their lives when dealing with acute or chronic health issues? Conventional medicine was costly and might not have been an option for many. Instead, people in villages and towns relied on remedies drawn from a woodblock-printed illustrated booklet called the Seventy-Two Therapies, first published in 1847. The goal of this book is to foster an appreciation of China’s long tradition of folk remedies. Each folk remedy is illustrated by a page from the circa 1860s woodblock edition of the Seventy-Two Therapies which the author used for translation. He also added a historical and interpretive analysis to expand on each therapy and to place it in the context of contemporary thinking, aiming at academics and readers interested in the everyday lives of common people in pre-1950 China, and in the folk medicine wisdom inherited from the past. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “The 72 specific disease

【内容簡介】貴族少年道林‧格雷擁有俊俏的容貌和純潔的內心。因受到亨利勳爵教唆，他向好友霍爾渥德為他畫的肖像許願——希望以一己靈魂換取永恆的青春，讓畫像代替自己老去。願望荒唐至極，卻在一夜之間成真。道林自此逐漸迷失方向，終日沉醉於自己的美色，甚至做出喪盡天良的壞事。他走上歧途，不能自拔，直至徹底滅亡。【核心賣點】1 經典文學作品：作為奧斯卡‧王爾德的代表作之一，該小說享有廣泛的知名度和文學價值，吸引着文學愛好者的關注。2 唯美主義思想：小說展現了唯美主義運動的核心思想，追求美的追求和藝術的重要性，吸引著對藝術和美學有興趣的讀者。3 深刻的哲學探討：作品中提出的道德、個人選擇和責任等哲學問題引發了廣泛的討論，對於追求深度思考和心靈探索的讀者具有吸引力。4 人性的描繪：小說通過主角道林·格雷的內心變化和墮落，深入揭示了人性的複雜性和內心的黑暗面，引起讀者對人性和道德的思考。5 社會批判：作品中對上流社會的虛偽和道德腐敗進行了批判，呈現了當時社會現象，引起讀者對社會問題的關注和共鳴。6 精美的裝幀設計：本書以精裝發行，可作禮品書。采用精美的裝幀設計，包括高質量的紙張、精美的插圖和版式等，使得書籍本身成為一種藝術品。這種設計不僅能夠提升讀者的閱讀體驗，還能夠增加書籍的收藏價值。【一句話推薦】中英對照版《道林‧格雷的畫像》融合唯美主義與道德探索，雙語對照提升閱讀能力，經典之作不容錯過。名人推薦Wilde’s brilliantly allusive moral tale of youth, beauty and corruption was greeted with howls of protest on publication.Reread today, however, The Picture of Dorian Gray is a wonderfully entertaining parable of the aesthetic ideal (art for art’s sake), and a sneak preview of the brilliance exhibited in plays such as The Importance of Being Earnest and Lady Windermere’s Fan.

我們正走向更全面性的設計觀，它將會為更多的個人、社群、與世界帶來衝擊。──比爾‧摩格里吉 誰是未來的使用者？隱藏在「可用性」之後的是什麼﹖難道不是所有的設計都是以使用者為中心的嗎﹖「設計者」，儘管歷史多所曲折，不會再以美感為主要考量。他們會探索並改造權力、回饋、與溝通的系統，傳達出更寬廣的文化與社會經驗。 設計師在進行產品、空間、或媒體創作的過程中，總是會不斷地思考人類是如何與他們的作品互動的。的確，許多設計師認為滿足人們的需求是設計的基本要務。誰是設計師千方百計想要了解的對象﹖ 「使用者」在設計流程中扮演了各式各樣的角色。他們可能被描繪成理想或標準的典型，可能是被觀察、被評量、或甚至被操弄的「消費者」，也可能是積極參與問題解決的夥伴。 今天，使用者本身已然形成一股創意力量，進而打破了設計師與使用者、主體與客體之間的分界。而隨著創意團隊尋求與日益見多識廣的社會大眾建立更平等的關係，「人本設計」（designing for people）一詞也逐漸被「讓人參與設計」（designing with people）所取代。 比爾‧摩格里吉曾說：「工程師先有技術，然後賦予它用途；商人先有生意點子，然後找尋技術與消費者；設計師則是先有人，然後再從人的角度發展解決方案。」 誰是未來的使用者？價格愈趨合理的3D列印技術許了我們一個屬於個人設計與製造的新時代。隨著新時代的展開，專業設計師們會設立資料庫，讓人們下載各種可以組裝各種元素的樣式與工具。由於產品只需要滿足單一觀眾，設計師很可能會成為引領自造者探索需求與動機的諮商師與趨勢專家。 隱藏在「可用性」之後的是什麼﹖在《關鍵設計報告》中，摩格里吉詳述了人因研究的層級，並將人體解剖學（人體測量學）的尺寸丈量放在最底層，愈往上複雜度與研究度愈高。從人體測量學往上分別是生理學（physiology，人體如何運作）、認知心理學（cognitive psychology，心智如何運作）、以及文化人類學（cultural anthropology，了解人類狀態）。位在人因層級最頂級的是生態學（ecology），探討的是所有生物間的互賴關係。回想過往的使用者，摩格里吉認為只講個人需求的視野對設計思考的未來而言過於狹隘。 難道不是所有的設計都是以使用者為中心的嗎﹖不是的

本書為【生態土地使用規劃】的再版。國內在1970年代末期開始將環境規劃理念引入景觀與區域規劃的教育與實務。2000年出版的【生態土地使用規劃】係呼應Ian McHarg於1969年所出版的Design with Nature，喚醒世人有關環境規劃理念在都市及區域規劃的重要性。近二十年來，人類該如何減緩並調適氣候變遷的衝擊已成當前國際社會的焦點。本書的再版，除作為環境規劃的專業書籍外，並配合臺灣在國土計畫法實行後的規劃體制轉型，包括下列四個目的：1.納入近年新興的全球環境變遷議題、思潮與規劃方法。2.加強環境規劃教科書的知識範疇與操作性。3.空間規劃專業者訓練時，更有效的納入環境規劃的觀念與操作。4.提供公部門與實務空間規劃專業者，進一步檢視目前規劃體制與方法之改善方向。本書在第一章緒論說明環境規劃理念與展望後，透過「生態系統與環境規劃」、「容受力觀念與成長管理」、「永續發展與空間規劃」與「地理資訊系統與土地使用規劃」等4章，協助讀者建立環境規劃中重要的系統與容受力觀念以及對新興議題的掌握，強化GIS工具在土地使用規劃中的應用能力。第六章在人文生態學的基礎下，具體的為讀者建立環境規劃中的自然與人文空間分析的能力後，延伸到第七章與第八章，說明國內外在前述各種分析下所進行的「土地分類」與「環境敏感地劃設與空間規劃」。第九章為本書中「土地使用適宜性分析」技術操作最重要的一章，不僅提供了土地適宜性分析源起與觀念，更為環境規劃年輕專業者的訓練提供一系列的操作程序與案例。最後，第十章回應了本次改版目標「全球環境變遷下的在地永續實踐」，為讀者提供都市化、環境變遷、氣候變遷減緩與調適等新興議題與案例，並在都市環境規劃的新思維論述下，點出本書各章對應不同尺度空間規劃專業者的訓練重點，提供公部門與實務規劃工作者，進一步檢視並反思臺灣規劃體制未來可改善的方向。整體而言，本書適合都市計劃、景觀規劃、地政、以及生態保育等專業者，在因應全球環境變遷的前提下，一同努力將環境規劃理念與方法推廣至各層級與類型的空間規劃，做為臺灣在地永續實踐的空間策略。本書特色◆回應全球環境變遷議題的環境規劃方法因應氣候變遷議題，國際學界陸續提出的新思維與解方，其實都是根基於「環境規劃」的理念發展而來。本書接軌國際前瞻性觀念與策略，同時提供環境規劃知識範疇中必須掌握的關鍵規劃方法，觀念與操作並重，理論與實務性兼具。◆各

協助讀者培養正確工程圖觀念之能力使讀者具備良好的工程製圖基礎 工業製圖主要係指工程圖（Engineering Graphics）的繪製，由於「圖」本身是沒有國界的差別的，特別是工程圖，所以有人說工程圖是一種世界語言（World Language）。也就是說在台灣所應用的工程圖，到了美國，到了德國，或是到非洲，基本上都是以相同原則、方式來表示的，不會因國界不同而有所不同。工程圖既然是工程上表達溝通的方式，自可說是工程應用上最必需具備的專業知識。人類歷史發展的趨勢，國家工業化程度愈高，代表國家愈進步，也就更需要實用的工程技術人才，以奠定工業發展的基礎。因此，工業製圖也是國家實力強弱的重要因素。本書的目標，在於協助讀者培養正確工程圖觀念之能力，熟悉國家標準工程製圖規範，並培養良好的製圖工作習慣，及具備繪圖、設計製圖之能力。雖然目前已進入電腦繪圖時代，但電腦本身並無法自行繪圖。在進行電腦繪圖之前，操作者必須先具備有上述的正確工程圖觀念、標準工程製圖規範、繪圖及設計製圖之能力等，才能應用電腦軟體，去從事工業製圖工作，這是讀者首先在觀念上要澄清的。如上所述，在進行工程製圖之前，必須要具備許多相關的專業知識。因此，一般學習工程製圖的過程，都是先學習專業知識及儀器畫，一邊藉由學習儀器畫過程，一邊同時將相關的專業知識融會貫通。等後來進入電腦繪圖環境時，便能輕易上手；況且在萬一沒有電腦可以使用的情況時，仍可輕易利用儀器畫以解決問題。本書編排即是本著上述原則，本書第一篇會著重專業知識及儀器畫，使讀者具備良好的工程製圖基礎。

《前景》雜誌（Prospect Magazine），當月新書推薦。 在烏俄戰爭開始前6個月，首次以烏克蘭語出版。 ◎法國三色旗，何以激勵無數革命分子？進而成為主權獨立國家的標誌。 ◎國旗怎麼掛有關係，波蘭國旗掛反變印尼，菲律賓國旗掛反，「平日」變「戰時」。 ◎「不是一個國」也有國旗？南極。而且是英國旗幟研究所首席專家設計的。 ◎荷蘭的國旗什麼顏色？告訴你，連荷蘭人自己都會搞混。 ◎好多國家都換過國旗，有的用投票表決，也有「總統夫人」說了算。 作者迪米特羅為烏克蘭前內閣部長、前國安局局長顧問、連續創業家， 從小對國旗充滿好奇，更設立超過7萬人訂閱的Telegram頁面： 「迪米特羅．杜比勒說國旗」（Flags with Dmytro Dubilet）。 他發現市面上除了參考書和童書以圖鑑簡介呈現以外， 沒有一本書從國旗講述國家的故事！ 為了改變這個情況，他蒐集資料並花兩年時間撰寫， 最後在烏俄戰爭開始前六個月，首次以烏克蘭語出版。 書中收錄兩百多幅彩色插圖，一一解釋每個國旗的前世今生， 以及樣式背後隱藏的含義，因為旗上的圖像透露了哪些勢力結盟、政權更迭、 宗教、神話，或追尋，這是理解一個國家的最快方法。 ◎大英帝國聯合旗，是榮光還是陰影 英國國旗的起源可追溯至十字軍東征， 所以被殖民過的澳洲和紐西蘭都有英國「米」字圖、南十字星。 目前這兩國都想擺脫曾被英國統治的陰影，想要換國旗， 可惜幾次投票都沒過。 ◎象徵和平的橄欖枝，帶不來和平 受到聯合國——立志促進和平與繁榮的組織——影響， 賽普勒斯、厄利垂亞和索馬利亞等國， 紛紛使用象徵和平的橄欖枝，或選用聯合國藍，作為國旗主色。 有用嗎？不少旗幟學家表示：國旗上有聯合國痕跡，命運都很悲慘。 賽普勒斯種族衝突不斷、厄利垂亞的獨立戰爭一打30年。 ◎鐮刀、紅旗、五芒星，全都歷經過百萬死亡大饑荒 凡實施社會主義的國家，像是蘇聯或前蘇維埃社會主義共和國， 或後來由共產黨執政，如越南，國旗上都找得到這些元素。 但這些國家都發生過大型人為饑荒事件， 是湊巧、還是這三個圖像隱喻著什麼？ ◎太陽走過的足跡，故事各有不同又相同 臺灣，國旗上繪有12道太陽光芒的青天

A picture book from an award-winning artist that uses vibrant reds and blues to stunningly evoke the intensity of a heatwave and the refreshing relief that comes with an unexpected downpour of a cooling rain.Sweltering. Sweating. It’s 100 degrees… even in the shade.Games are canceled, temperatures reach record highs. The sun is hot.Finally, a wind picks up. One rain drop. Then another. A downpour. The sun sets and the moon rises, Relief at last.Heatwave is a book that vividly evokes a universal feeling--when the air is so hot and heavy you can barely move, when the sun is so bright your eyes play tricks on you.

Even the book itself is saturated in red as if the book itself is burning up.
