Elise Gravel wants to write a totally drab book; her characters want to let loose. Who’s gonna win?Don’t take the title as a metaphor: it really is the worst book ever. The winner of the Governor General Literary Award and children’s book author and illustrator Elise Gravel takes readers on an unexpected journey through the world’s most boring book in The Worst Book Ever. The characters and omniscient readers alike quickly become annoyed by the author’s bland imagination and rebel against her tired tropes and stale choices, spouting sass in an attempt to get her attention and steer the narrative in a more interesting direction. After all, you don’t even have to buy the book, but the characters? They’re stuck in there for an eternity, and they’re going to do their best to make the most of it, or at least have a little fun when they can.As the charming and bizarre true nature of the characters overpowers the dry attributes given to them by the author, this once blasé story quickly picks

In the explosive finale to the epic romantic saga, Bella has one final choice to make. Should she stay mortal and strengthen her connection to the werewolves, or leave it all behind to become a vampire? When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved? To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs. This astonishin

David Card and Alan B. Krueger have already made national news with their pathbreaking research on the minimum wage. Here they present a powerful new challenge to the conventional view that higher minimum wages reduce jobs for low-wage workers. In a work that has important implications for public policy as well as for the direction of economic research, the authors put standard economic theory to the test, using data from a series of recent episodes, including the 1992 increase in New Jersey's minimum wage, the 1988 rise in California's minimum wage, and the 1990-91 increases in the federal minimum wage. In each case they present a battery of evidence showing that increases in the minimum wage lead to increases in pay, but no loss in jobs.A distinctive feature of Card and Krueger's research is the use of empirical methods borrowed from the natural sciences, including comparisons between the "treatment" and "control" groups formed when the minimum wag

★ 美國藝術巨擘Jasper Johns經典作品全集解析★ 從國旗、數字到地圖，重新定義「日常圖像」的藝術意義★ 影響普普藝術與觀念藝術的關鍵人物，一本全面認識當熟悉的符號被重新觀看，藝術也因此改變。Jasper Johns以國旗、數字與地圖等「我們早已認識的圖像」為創作核心，讓日常變得陌生而富有意義。自1950年代進入紐約藝術圈以來，他與Robert Rauschenberg共同開創被稱為「新達達」的重要轉向，深刻影響後來的普普藝術與觀念藝術。本書收錄其繪畫、雕塑、版畫與拼貼作品，透過豐富圖像與專家解析，完整呈現其超過半世紀的創作歷程與國際影響力。這不只是作品集，更是一段改寫藝術史的旅程。A handsomely illustrated study of one of the world's greatest contemporary artists, including Johns's most iconic paintings, sculptures, works on paper and collages.Jasper Johns is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, and has remained central to American art since his arrival in New York in the 1950s. With his then partner Robert Rauschenberg, Johns helped to establish a decisive new direction in the art world, termed "Neo-Dada" at the time. Johns' striking use of popular iconography, "things the mind already knows," as he put it (flags, numbers, maps), made the familiar unfamiliar--and made a colossal impact in the art world, becoming a touchstone for Pop, min

Most of this richly illustrated book is devoted to the physical aspects of waves. After introducing observation techniques for waves, both at sea and from space, the book defines the parameters that characterise waves. Using basic statistical and physical concepts, the author discusses the prediction of waves in oceanic and coastal waters, first in terms of generalised observations, and then in terms of the more theoretical framework of the spectral energy balance. He gives the results of established theories and also the direction in wh

AI能寫作、能畫圖、能運算，人類還剩下什麼？在AI取代人類效率的時代，我們唯一能勝出的，是感知的深度。我們學會了深度工作、深度學習，卻忘了如何深度生活。從旅行、藝術、建築、自然到日常的每一刻，找回遺失的「感知力」，在高度變動的世界，重新感受、思考、設計你的生活。◆作者運用「理性背景（矽谷-哈佛）」和「感性訴求（生活-美學）」，提供你關於「深度生活」的省思和療癒。◆破解「競爭」與「躺平」的二元對立（TheThirdPath），本書提供「積極的平靜」（ActiveCalmness）。你依然可以追求事業成就，但你的內在動力不再是恐懼，而是對生活的熱愛與感知。你可以在工作中得到意義和成就，同時擁有深刻、豐富、多元、真正喜歡的生活，而不是被迫在「拚命」和「放棄」之間二選一。◆本書是理科腦的感性覺醒，作者用產品經理（PM）的邏輯去分析與優化生活體驗，用建築學的視角去「重構」日常容器。這種跨領域的洞察，例如比較巴黎與東京的城市設計對心理健康的影響、比較泰勒式管理與工匠精神等，是本書最大亮點。◆透過深度生活EAR模型「探索（Explore）、欣賞（Appreciate）、反思（Reflect）」這三個練習，找回自己的感受力，找回看世界的廣度與深度，更能決定你要走什麼樣的職涯和人生路。◆人生不是一條線，是投資組合／一座花園。如何根據自己的狀態與階段，動態調整這座花園的配置，不被「工作至上」的價值觀綁架，從馬斯克式的工時浪漫神話中抽身，拿回對自己人生組合的主導權。◆AI時代的人本護城河――「感知力」（Sensibility）。感受風的溫度、欣賞建築的光影、在旅行中與陌生人連結，這些是AI做不到的。本書強調「深度生活」是AI時代人類最後的護城河，也是最高級的競爭力。「『深度生活』對我來說，無關於速度快或慢，也不是要你在競爭與躺平之間二選一。它提出一個更根本的問題：在這樣快速變動的世界，你是否仍然握著人生的方向盤？深度生活，不是退出世界，而是在高度加速的環境裡，重新拿回感受、判斷與反思的能力。不是把人生變得更輕，而是讓它重新變得有重量、有靈魂，也有選擇的餘地。如果你也感到焦慮、迷惘，或隱約覺得哪裡不太對，希望這本書，能陪你一起，把人生從單一軸線，重新展開成一個更立體、更寬廣，更能自在呼吸的世界。」──本書作者黃鈺茹 BastianeHuang「未經審視的生命，不值得活。」――蘇格拉底長期在

「作者復興了這個古老的靈修技巧。它能幫助你深入自己的意識深處，並接收宇宙的正能量，進而顯化你的夢想。」──喬‧維泰利博士（Dr. Joe Vitale），《零極限》作者。「這個憾動人心的技巧會幫助你突破個人限制，發現自己的不凡之處，並創造新穎又充滿驚喜的人生。」──布蘭特‧平維迪克（Brant Pinvidic），《簡短卻強大的3分鐘簡報》作者。「想化解生活中反覆出現的困境，遠離小我的意識與習慣，探索自己的無限潛能，自動書寫就是最好的心海羅盤。」──道森・丘吉（Dawson Church），《超悅大腦：科學證實幸福感可以自己創造，加速實現理想人生》作者。無需技巧、沒有壓力，最能釋放負能量、召喚正向磁場的心靈寫作法匈牙利科學家、未來學大師拉胥羅（Ervin Laszlo）專文推薦自動書寫是一種歷史悠久的靈性技巧，許多古文明都有記載，修行者透過無意識地書寫，以接受神的訊息與指導。在東方世界，道教也有所謂的「扶鸞」占卜。到了十九世紀末，精神分析學派的佛洛伊德跟榮格則是用自動書寫來探索潛意識的奧祕。近年來，在許多新時代運動者的提倡下，自動書寫成為結合冥想、祈禱的療癒工具。本書作者麥可‧山德勒曾是卓越的自行車與馬拉松選手，但發生了兩次致命的意外後，運動生涯被迫中斷，經濟狀況也陷入瓶頸。在接觸過阿卡西的心靈書寫後，他轉化成更容易入門的自動書寫法，並時時徵求靈性的指引，於是人生開始從谷底回彈。特別的是，這套簡易版的自動書寫法，不管有無宗教信仰的人都適用。你可以選擇跟天使、指導靈、宇宙、佛祖任何一種高等存在對話，也可以尋求自己內在智慧的洞見。方法如下：1.盡可能在天亮前早起，並保持空腹。2.獨自找個不受打擾的幽暗處冥想十分鐘。3.拿出紙筆，寫下你的禱告話語，並祈請你的靈性導師或夥伴前來。4.寫下問題，並且不中斷、不加思考地開始書寫十五分鐘。5.最後得出自己意想不到答案或深埋已久的線索。平常我們習於動腦寫作，所以一開始會手足無措，而這就是擺脫慣常思考模式的練習。在書中，作者會先提供三個關鍵的問題：今天該知道什麼、我是誰、今天的任務為何，讓讀者當作入門的練習題，也有提供三十天挑戰計畫。除了療癒創傷、調整身心之外，你還能夠透過自動書寫賺進八種財富：時間、健康、金錢、友情、心靈、職涯、創意和家庭。最重要的是，你會成為心靈開放的生命勇士，不只改善自己的生活，還因為能放下小我，而能找出更有效的
