海洋考古學家西恩．金斯利博士（Dr. Sean Kingsley）╳三屆艾美獎得主製片人辛卡‧傑科波維奇（SimchaJacobovici）╳山繆‧傑克森（Samuel L. Jackson）演出同名紀錄片堅決擁護買賣奴隸，因為我要在咖啡裡加糖每一個被奴役者的後裔，都是一個不願面對的真相◎歐洲與美國的黑歷史！有整整四○○年，把「人」當作貨物買賣，是合理且必要的事？一千萬名奴隸，讓歐美變有錢、甚至讓「糖」變便宜，咖啡喝全糖也沒關係？雖然人口販賣從未消失──但在一六七○年到一八五八年之間，有整整一千兩百多萬人，被從非洲捕獵到歐洲與美國，其中有約兩百萬人甚至撐不到被賣掉，就因為被虐待、被侵犯、因為環境的惡劣，或是乾脆被殺害，因而死在途中。從歐美的經濟優勢、到工業革命的突破發展，甚至是茶、咖啡裡加的那幾湯匙糖，可說都建構在這一千多萬被販運到歐美的非洲被奴役者血、肉、與眼淚上。整整四百年，歐美各國之所以能夠取得經濟優勢、甚至在日後透過戰爭取得政治優勢，是因為有一批不用薪水、不用放假，甚至連人權都不需要的奴隸可以「使用」。◎海洋考古學家╳三屆艾美獎得主╳山繆‧傑克森，要告訴我們什麼樣的故事？透過海洋考古學家西恩．金斯利博士（Dr. Sean Kingsley）與三屆艾美獎得主、製片人辛卡‧傑科波維奇（SimchaJacobovici）的研究，著名潛水團隊「使命潛水」（Diving with a Purpose, DWP），前往世界各地，走遍十一國，探索幾乎已經被歷史、被人群遺忘的奴隸沉船。他們尋找遺骨和文物，證明過去曾有幾百萬名非洲人遭到捕獵，從非洲黃金海岸的海港，到英國、葡萄牙和荷蘭貿易公司的交易中心，再到新世界的最終目的地，雅各布維奇和金斯利證實地球上每個國家和社會都曾涉入這場跨越四個世紀的奴隸交易中。本書並製作為同名紀錄片，由山繆‧傑克森（Samuel L. Jackson）參與製作、推薦，並擔任說明者；「對我來說，《奴隸航道》是一種嘗試，為那些數百萬聲音被壓抑的人發出聲音。」山繆‧傑克森表示。◎不能就這麼算了──不是所有的不堪，都能夠輕易被放下一百六十年前的事了，還需要這樣執著與在乎嗎？──對許多人來說，已經過去的傷疤，一百多年後怎麼樣都應該癒合了，不應該這麼糾結著不放。但對每一個被奴役者的後裔來說，他們代表的，是一段總有人不願意面對的真相。一千兩百萬名被奴役者，象徵的

A gripping middle-grade history that offers a fresh look at the groundbreaking 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom by spotlighting the protest's radical roots and the underappreciated role of Black women--includes a wealth of contemporary black-and-white photos throughout. Six decades ago, on August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom--a moment often revered as the culmination of this Black-led protest. But at its core, the March on Washington was not a beautiful dream of future integration; it was a mass outcry for jobs and freedom NOW--not at some undetermined point in the future. It was a revolutionary march with its own controversies and problems, the themes of which still resonate to this day. Without diminishing the words of Dr. King, More Than a Dream looks at the march through a wider lens, using Black newspaper reports as a primary resource, recognizing the overlooked wo

【故事簡介】 《化身博士》可能是史帝文生最有名的代表作，而「傑寇與海德」（Jekyll and Hyde）一語則成為英語中一個十分常見的用法（比如說「他同時兼具傑寇與海德的人格」），並且廣為人知，即使沒讀過本書的人也知之甚詳。 本書的主題講的是人性當中的「人格分裂」，或說是「雙重性格」。其核心概念認為，我們每一個人都會同時呈現善與惡兩種面貌，並探討如果這些部分在人體化學構造上到最後分成兩種單獨的人格的話，那究竟會發生什麼樣的事。這個主題對史帝文生來說特別親切，他以此創作了一齣劇本和一則短篇故事。 這篇故事也談到了名譽的重要性，原本備受尊敬的傑寇博士之所以開始變身為邪惡的海德先生，就是因為他害怕自己的行為失當，想挽回自己的聲譽。至於他的朋友亞特森、藍彥和安費等，也會不計一切代價的避免流言蜚語上身。維多利亞時代中對儀表和外觀的重視，也反應出名譽的重要性，而表象又是如何頻頻掩蓋了齷齪和暴力的事實。 這篇故事的架構亦饒富趣味，除了由作者所訴說的敘述外，還有兩則由主人翁針對同樣事件所撰寫的描述。對於同一事件我們算是讀了三次，但各有觀點。這篇故事曾被譯為多種語言，而且也給無數電影、音樂劇、戲劇、故事、卡通影片和電玩遊戲等，帶來不少靈感。 ＊＊＊＊＊ When respectable Dr Jekyll starts associating with the mysterious Mr Hyde, his friends become increasingly worried. Who is Hyde and why do all the people he meets dislike him? Stevenson’s classic tale of the human capacity for evil is retold with all the tension and gothic drama of the original. 【Helbling文學讀本（Helbling Readers）簡介】 ● Helbling Classics（經典英文文學改寫） ● Helbling Fiction（當代原創英文小說） 《Helbling文學讀本》為一套最優質的英文分級閱讀讀本，英語難易度由初級銜接到中級。在各項英語認證考試中，本系列書培養的英語能力級數如下： GEPT英檢 TOE

Longquan wares were made mainly in Zhejiang province over a period of over sixteen hundred years, from the 3rd to the 19th centuries. There are two outstanding features of the beautiful Longquan ceramics, one is that the body is made of porcelain, and the other, that the glaze contains kaolin in its composition. This gives Longquan ware unique colour and quality.The body is smooth and dense, the glaze either unctuous or shiny, the colour a myriad shades of kingfisher blue and jade green. The result of development of porcelain technology at Longquan was a tough, attractive, and versatile celadon material that was ideally suited for export. Longquan vessels found their way to a variety of markets around the world, from royal palaces to common dwellings.During the Yuan dynasty a peak in quantity was reached, with more than 150 kiln sites overall. Many new decoration techniques and forms of mass production for global exports emerged, until production almost expired entirely during the late

Celebrate 20 incredible years of Ology with this special edition of Dragonology - the journal of dragonologist Dr Ernest Drake. Do you believe in dragons? Said to originate from the library of eminent Victorian dragonologist Ernest Drake, this book imparts to readers the secrets of the ancient science of dragonology, bridging the gap between dragon legend and fact.

In his afterword, Dr.Drake reveals that one of the crucial goals of dragonologists is to preserve and protect the magnificent creatures of their study wherever possible - a goal this lavishly illustrated volume most affectionately achieves. An incomparable gift for secret dragonologists everywhere! For true believers only. Don't le
