The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H (Ralph Fiennes), a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori), the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. Acting as a kind of father-figure, M. Gustave leads the resourceful Zero on a journey that involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting; the battle for an enormous family fortune; a desperate chase on motorcycles, trains, sledges and skis; and the sweetest confection of a love affair - all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.Inspired by the writings of Stefan Zweig, The Grand Budapest Hotel recreates a by-gone era through its arresting visuals and sparkling dialogue. The charm and vibrant colours of the film gradually darken with a sense of melancholy as the forces of history conspire against a vanishing world.

A new theory is taking hold in neuroscience. It is the theory that the brain is essentially a hypothesis-testing mechanism, one that attempts to minimise the error of its predictions about the sensory input it receives from the world. It is an attractive theory because powerful theoretical arguments support it, and yet it is at heart stunningly simple. Jakob Hohwy explains and explores this theory from the perspective of cognitive science and philosophy. The key argument throughout The Predictive Mind is that the mechanism explains the rich, deep, and multifaceted character of our conscious perception. It also gives a unified account of how perception is sculpted by attention, and how it depends on action. The mind is revealed as having a fragile and indirect relation to the world. Though we are deeply in tune with the world we are also strangely distanced from it.The first part of the book sets out how the theory enables rich, layered perception. The theory's probabilistic and statist

本書描寫畫家 Horace Pippin 的真實人生。十九世紀末的童年時期，他便沉浸於繪畫的觸感與觀察，無論是替家人、同學，或日後的同事作畫，畫畫始終是他理解世界的方式。第一次世界大戰期間，他在戰壕中持續素描，直到一場意外讓他失去右臂的行動能力，也彷彿失去了創作的可能。然而，憑著反覆練習與耐心，他一步步重新舉起畫筆，再次投入創作，並逐漸受到關注，作品進入美國各地的畫廊與美術館。作者 Jen Bryant 以平實文字鋪陳這段歷程，插畫家 Melissa Sweet 則以拼貼與線條交織出藝術的生命力。本書榮獲 Robert F.

Sibert Honor BookWinner of the Schneider Family Book AwardAn ALA-ALSC Notable Children's BookWinner of the NCTE Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for ChildrenAs a child in the late 1800s, Horace Pippin loved to draw: He loved the feel of the charcoal as it slid across the floor. He loved looking at something in the room and making it come alive again in front of him. He drew pictures for his sisters, his classmates, his co-workers. Even during W.W.I, Horace filled his notebooks with drawings from the trenches . . . until he was shot. Upon his return home, Horace couldn't lift his right arm, and couldn't make any art. Slowly, w

In the usual order of things, lives run their course and eventually one becomes who one is. Bodily and psychic transformations do nothing but reinforce the permanence of identity. But as a result of serious trauma, or sometimes for no reason at all, a subject’s history splits and a new, unprecedented persona comes to live with the former person - an unrecognizable persona whose present comes from no past and whose future harbors nothing to come; an existential improvisation, a form born of the accident and by accident. Out of a deep cut opened in a biography, a new being comes into the world for a second time. What is this form? A face? A psychological profile? What ontology can it account for, if ontology has always been attached to the essential, forever blind to the aléa of transformations? What history of being can the plastic power of destruction explain? What can it tell us about the explosive tendency of existence that secretly threatens each one of us?Continuing her reflections

Richard Stanley's two-volume basic introduction to enumerative combinatorics has become the standard guide to the topic for students and experts alike. This thoroughly revised second edition of Volume 1 includes ten new sections and more than 300 new exercises, most with solutions, reflecting numerous new developments since the publication of the first edition in 1986. The author brings the coverage up to date and includes a wide variety of additional applications and examples, as well as updated and expanded chapter bibliographies. Many of the less difficult new exercises have no solutions so that they can more easily be assigned to students. The material on P-partitions has been rearranged and generalized; the treatment of permutation statistics has been greatly enlarged; and there are also new sections on q-analogues of permutations, hyperplane arrangements, the cd-index, promotion and evacuation and differential posets.

不懂慣用語，商務溝通大打折扣！美國人在職場及生活上都大量使用慣用語，有些用法不但很難從字面上判斷其意，更有別於我們在傳統教科書上所學用字。例如hold your horses、John Doe、luck out，如果聽不懂，可能會完全誤解整句話的意思，例如下面這句話：We lucked out with the joint venture with Disney.一看到luck跟out，你可能就會在腦中組合出「好運」＋「出局」的意思，所以會以為這句話是說「我們很不幸沒有取得跟迪士尼的合作。」事實上，luck out的意思卻是「運氣好」，所以這句話的意思應該是：「我們運氣很好取得跟迪士尼合作。」像這樣的用法在美國人的對話中經常出現，尤其在商務場合中，職場人士如果因為聽不懂、看不懂、答非所問，不但會導致自己的專業能力被質疑，甚至可能錯失升遷的機會。所以當我們已具備了基礎的商務英文能力後，如何將聽、說、讀、寫升級為更「道地」的英文，便是進階過程的重要關鍵！晉升職場經理人，除了專業，還要有傑出的英文實力！要在商務職場中高人一等，除了要擁有專業的學經歷，無非就是要展現優於同儕的溝通力，最忌說話缺乏自信。而英語程度不佳，聽不懂道地的英語表達，都可能讓你的自信打折扣，導致你的專業能力矮別人一截。本書收錄1200個商務慣用語，搭配3600句商務情境例句，教你美國商務職場最道地的英語表達，大幅提升你的英語能力，比同事早一步晉升職場經理人！MP3免費聆聽「聽見眾文」是用來聆聽音檔的手機專用APP，免費提供由專業外籍錄音員錄製的音檔，搭配眾文語言學習書籍，一機在手，隨時隨地都可學習，方便又有效率。購書讀者請現在就加入眾文LINE官方帳號好友（ID：@jwbooks）申請兌換序號，立即享有無限聆聽眾文語言有聲內容的服務。

A Junior Library Guild Selection, a Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year, a Cook Prize Honor Book, and a NSTA-CBC Outstanding Science Trade Book."Eccentric and unusual with an appealing, gentle charm," raves Kirkus Reviews, in a starred review, about this Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year.Every morning, Fred climbs three flights of stairs—up to his rooftop in Brooklyn, New York—and greets the members of his enormous family: "Good morning, my bees, my darlings!" His honeybee workers are busy—they tend the hive, feed babies, and make wax rooms. They also forage in flowers abloom across Brooklyn . . . so that, one day, Fred can make his famous honey, something the entire neighborhood looks forward to tasting. Lela Nargi's beautifully written story—accompanied by Kyrsten Brooker's collage-style illustrations—offers an inside look at the life of an endearing beekeeper and the honey-making process.

With bold imagery and an ear tuned to the music of Homer’s epic poem, Gareth Hinds reinterprets the ancient classic as it’s never been told before."Gareth Hinds brings THE ODYSSEY to life in a masterful blend of art and storytelling. Vivid and exciting, this graphic novel is a worthy new interpretation of Homer’s epic."—Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians seriesFresh from his triumphs in the Trojan War, Odysseus, King of Ithaca, wants nothing more than to return home to his family. Instead, he offends the sea god, Poseidon, who dooms him to years of shipwreck and wandering. Battling man-eating monsters, violent storms, and the supernatural seductions of sirens and sorceresses, Odysseus will need all his strength and cunning—and a little help from Mount Olympus—to make his way home and seize his kingdom from the schemers who seek to wed his queen and usurp his throne. Award-winning graphic artist Gareth Hinds masterfully reinterprets a story of heroism, adventu

International health and aid policies of the past two decades have had a major impact on the delivery of care in low and middle-income countries. This book argues that these policies have often failed to achieve their main aims, and have in fact contributed to restricted access to family medicine and hospital care. Presenting detailed evidence, and illustrated by case studies, this book describes how international health policies to date have largely resulted in expensive health care for the rich, and disjointed and ineffective services for the poor. As a result, large segments of the population world-wide continue to suffer from unnecessary casualties, pain and impoverishment. International Health and Aid Policies arms health professionals, researchers and policy makers with strategies that will enable them to bridge the gaps between public health, medicine and health policy in order to support robust, comprehensive and accessible health care systems in any political environment.
