在本書中，小女孩 Emily 一扇門一扇門地敲問：「我可以進來嗎？」藍色的門說她不夠藍；另一扇門只歡迎老虎與鱷魚；還有一扇只為說話很小聲的人而開。每一次被拒絕，Emily 都沒有停下腳步。直到她來到一處沒有門的牆前，拿出粉筆，畫出屬於自己的門，轉動門把，走了進去。作者 Mel Rosenberg 以簡潔對話構成寓言式節奏，插畫家 Orit Magia 則以鮮明設計感畫面強化象徵意涵。本書榮獲以色列 Dvora Omer Award，並獲《Booklist》肯定。In this story about inclusion and acceptance, a girl goes from door to door, hoping to find one that will welcome her inside. But when each one turns her away, Emily realizes that the only door that will open for her is the one she creates herself. Knock, knock.Who's there?It's me, Emily. May I come in? And so begins Emily's search for a door that will open. The first door is blue, and the voice behind the door tells Emily that she doesn't sound very bluish. The second door says it only opens for tigers, crocodiles, and snakes. But she is a girl named Emily-- and the animals are hungry--and so she moves on. The third is only for people who speak very quietly, and the door can hear Emily. Finally, Emily comes to a place without a door. She gets out her chalk

《國際經濟學》(International Economics: Theory and Policy)由諾貝爾獎得主Paul R. Krugman領銜，偕同另兩位頂尖學者合著，理論嚴謹、架構完整，長期以來被公認為該領域的經典之作，對於全球學界與高等教育影響深遠。自本書前版問世以來，世界經濟局勢歷經劇烈轉折：英國脫歐重塑歐洲經貿版圖，川普政府掀起的貿易戰動搖既有多邊體系根基，而COVID-19疫情更凸顯全球高度相互依存的脆弱現實。有鑑於此，此次新版國際金融的部分將歷史敘事延伸至當前變局，從「國際視野」著眼，系統性地整合近十餘年來關鍵事件與理論進展，反映國際經濟秩序、經貿關係的劇烈變化，以及全球金融週期對新興經濟體興衰的影響。

If you ask the average person who an entrepreneur is, they’ll probably say people like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg. But the truth is, you don’t need to know how to code or raise VC money to start a business.

In The Sweaty Startup, Nick offers readers the simplest, easiest, and lowest-risk path to reclaiming entrepreneurship, generating value, and forging a new path to get ahead on their own terms. By returning to the most foundational business tactics, this book is a refreshing burst of clarity and simplicity in a world that’s obsessed with technology startups, the suffocating sque
