第一本結合專業運動學x肌肉解剖圖的專業瑜伽教學書 【獨家超值收錄】37支step by step基礎瑜伽動作＋拜日式序列示範影片 是否經常覺得瑜伽做起來很輕鬆，似乎都沒有運動到的感覺？ 覺得柔軟度不好，不敢挑戰瑜伽？反正姿勢無法做到位，就無效？ 錯，會有這種感覺，就是沒有「好好認識自己的身體」！精準掌握關鍵肌群、正確使用關節角度， 「站姿」、「坐姿」、「趴姿」、「後仰」、「反轉」37個基礎瑜伽動作， 一次練習到位，輕鬆突破瓶頸、平衡身心狀態！瑜伽的風潮行之多年，舉凡提升肌力、緊實身材、消除不適、提升活力等，端正姿勢、專注內在的瑜伽，帶給身心的效果相當豐富。然而，想要完全領會到瑜伽所帶來的各種美好，必須先了解如何透過瑜伽「正確使用」以及「好好認識」自己的身體。因為，若是用錯方法不僅不容易看出成效，還是造成身體的負擔，導致身體疼痛等問題出現。● 覺得有些瑜伽動作看起來很簡單，但是做起來卻會覺得某的部位不舒服、不穩定？ 【下犬式】手腕不痛的有效關鍵 關鍵1：雙手的「兩隻食指朝向前方」，可以讓手肘不會朝外打開、腋下保持收緊。 關鍵2：讓「肩膀往外旋」，使肩關節穩定，並減輕手腕負擔。【戰士式II】高弓箭步踩穩的有效關鍵 關鍵1：「雙腳的距離要夠寬」，才能使大腿內側的「內收肌群」充分發力，進而提高下半身穩定度。 〈參考寬度〉左右手往兩邊打開平舉，雙腳腳掌位置剛好在手腕下方。 關鍵2：彎曲前腳的「膝蓋要在腳踝正上方」，骨盆會和地板平行、不傾斜。【橋式】避免腰痠的有效關鍵 關鍵1：不必使用臀肌出力，而是肩胛骨靠攏，背部「背闊肌」出力，再讓胸部往上推起。 關鍵2：利用膝蓋壓著地板的力量，將意識放在大腿內側的「內收大肌」，即可避免腰部過度後彎不適。● 上網自行看瑜伽教學影片跟著做，卻不知道身體是否在正確位置？越做越挫敗？ Q：正確的骨盆位置怎麼找？ A：用手摸一摸，確認「髂骨」和「薦椎」的位置是否歪斜即可。 髂骨：遍布在骨盆左右呈扇形的骨頭，低腰褲就是靠這個凸出的骨頭撐住。一聽到「骨盆要保持水平」時，可將雙手放在這個地方，就能檢查左右是否傾斜。 薦椎：位於骨盆中央，從下方支撐脊椎，逆三角形的骨頭。大小正好和手掌一樣，位在手往下後相當於腰椎下方的地方。Q：做後仰的瑜伽姿勢時，如何避免脖子縮起？ A：舌頭緊貼上顎，保持頸部穩定。 充分使用頸部前側肌肉，後彎時脖子不會覺得不舒服。祕訣在於將舌

An updated version of the timeless children's classic featuring a business-savvy mouse, a kind alley cat, and a talented country cricket, featuring a new foreword and thoughtful revisions by YA author Stacey Lee.Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he'd seen it all. But he's never met a cricket before, which really isn't surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City—the Times Square subway station.Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone's picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides—and friends—than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures—from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire.Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway sta

本書在自然與身體感受性的脈絡下，思考禮儀中的象徵在修身及教化中所扮演的關鍵地位。本書溯源到文化源頭的先秦、兩漢時期，說明自然節氣如何影響身體經驗，在對天道的體察中，從而形構物的象徵與身體隱喻。本書透過秦漢禮儀中象徵的細部分析，說明象徵符號與自我的形構、身心轉化，人我關係定義以及倫理的秩序有密不可分的關係。「象徵」既反映著自然風土與物之質性，同時也反映著不同的地方文化所形成的文化心理及身體經驗。修身與教化的理想在體察自然節氣和風土、透過象徵以調節人情中亦得到實踐。This book investigates the key role of symbolism in self-cultivation and moral education in the context of nature and bodily senses. Through detailed analysis of symbols in the etiquette of Qin and Han China, this book illustrates the inseparable relationship between symbolism and self-construction, transformation of body and mind, the definition of human-self relationship, and the order of ethics. “Symbol” not only reflects the landscapes and things, but also reflects the cultural psychology and physical experience formed by different local knowledge. The practice of self-cultivation and morality is also in the process of interpreting nature and regulating human sentiments through symbols.

Follow a cast of curious bugs as they travel the world, finding out what continents and oceans are, what makes a capital city, where people live, and what's happening in the natural world. With interactive questions and activities.

想搞懂老外說什麼，千萬不能光聽不練！跟著本書從最貼近生活的實用情境開始反覆聽 >> 口跟讀 >> 動手寫徹底突破連音、變音、弱讀、重音、語調等發音變化難點情境聽解、口語表達一起升級！ 語言學習要從「聽」跟「說」開始，更要從實際生活開始！食、衣、住、行、娛樂、職場、潮流、新知……，超實用情境一次給足，step by step 練出臨場好聽力！ 本書根據我們生活最相關的 5 大主題設計情境會話，舉凡每個人一定會用到的「生活話題」、「情緒表達」、「職場溝通」，或是為海外留學做準備的「留學情境」，甚至時下最新的「潮流時事」話題也通通講給你聽，讓學習者省去摸索的時間，在短時間內即可掌握各種情境會用到的實用句型、常見詞彙，只要專注地反覆聆聽並且持續跟讀數次到熟記，必能在往後實境聽＆說時體驗到一次溝通就上手的學習成就感！本書特色《預測情境》有效提升實境對話理解力！《反覆聽讀》練就出流暢的口說反應力！ 聽力學習首先要教讀者的是：在聽＆說之前，先「熟悉並預測情境中的固定規則」是非常重要的！就像辦理登機手續、在郵局寄送包裹、辦理旅館入住這些狀況與目的雖然都不同，卻有其固定規則可循，例如：check-in 時得先清楚報上姓名→確認預約房型及人數→回答付款方式，對這類事情的了解程度將會影響對於聽取內容之理解程度。 本書帶領讀者於聽取對話之前先熟悉該情境常見的「聆聽重點」有哪些，並且回想自己在真實生活中的類似語境，這個步驟將有助於自學時更加融入該對話、提升聆聽過程的專注力。接著，只要確實按照書中建議的「聽力段落練習方式」反覆聽、跟著讀，長久下來必能感受到自己在聽力和口語表達上的卓越進步！《聽力提點》徹底剖析英語發音變化原理！ 許多人在練習英語聽力時普遍感到困惑的問題是，如果對話過程能像看電視一樣有「字幕」，那幾乎每一句話都看得懂，為什麼用聽的卻聽不太懂呢？會有這樣的問題，不單單是因為語速過快而對聽力理解造成影響，更關鍵的原因是實境英語中的發音與咬字其實與我們從書本上學到的詞彙音標有著非常大的差距，若再加上自然對話中經常會出現的反覆、遲疑、更正重說等因情緒而產生的不規則發音，聽解時就會更吃力了！ 本書的會話內容不是經過刻意修飾簡化的英文，MP3音檔也不是生硬的標準錄音室效果，而是母語人士最自

預防下一場疫病大流行發生成為各國重要議題。Bill Gates以世界級專家的知識與蓋茲基金會對抗重大疾病的經驗為基礎，深入淺出解析傳染病，並提出國與國之間，政府與民間單位聯手合作，不只能阻擋下一場疫病，更有機會消滅所有呼吸道相關疾病。A new book by Bill Gates that lays out a clear plan to prevent future pandemics The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over. But even as governments around the world try to get it under control, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent another pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and he has written a largely upbeat book that lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should learn from COVID-19, explains the science of fighting pandemics, and suggests what all of us can do to help prevent another one. Given the worldwide success of How to Avoid a Climate Disaster (which debuted at #1 on the New York Times best seller list), Gates is more respected than ever for his approach to solving the world's biggest challenges.
