★亞馬遜4.3顆星讀者好評★隨書附贈作者手繪海洋生物藏書票，三款隨機贈送 繼承瑞秋‧卡森的精神，新一代海洋生態書寫與夢想追尋的驚豔之作。生命之流或許會轉彎，但都將隨著海潮，溫柔地前進…… 漢娜‧史托在英國威爾斯的海濱小屋，聽著海潮聲長大。18歲她登上甲板，成為一名水手，在一些地球上最美麗的水域中航行。 她觀察海、認識海，也擁抱這些以海為生的海洋生物，在海洋研究與航行的夢想間，思考與探問，每一個生命階段，都有海潮冰冷又溫柔的陪伴。 這本書是一趟追夢的旅程，一次內在自我的探索，以及對海洋生態環境的認識與關懷。 ▍乘著懸崖氣流飛翔的火烏鴉，帶來大海的召喚 火烏鴉朝懸崖頂部俯衝，最後一刻才張開翅膀，如此英勇卻刺激。牠們在海上討生活，靠近海卻不屬於大海。那天看到火烏鴉的飛舞，對不知該如何融入成年生活的漢娜來說，是一道燃燒的明確指引。 「不切實際。」「那不叫工作。」 撇開這些聲音，漢娜永遠會有一部分留在威爾斯的邊陲海岸，但有一部分的她需要流浪，去一個潮汐和風所支配的移動世界，去鯨魚的世界裡探險。 ▍感覺到暗夜裡的移動島嶼，魂牽夢縈的抹香鯨 海上的厭女情結特別嚴重，作為年輕女水手，漢娜必須要付出雙倍的努力，才能夠獲得一半的機會。她學會如何掌舵，搭上露脊鯨號，跟著蘿拉．費爾博士繞行海洋，蒐集鯨魚的資料。 漢娜的第一頭抹香鯨是感覺到，而不是親眼看見。在濃霧圍繞的黑夜，如同水裡升起的陸地，朝著漢娜的臉，噴出一口溼氣。這一刻，所有的痛苦、瘀傷、灼傷，都值回票價了。 ▍度過生命中最艱難的一年，跟著信天翁再次漂流 漢娜受傷了。她從衝浪板上被拋出，導致脊椎受創，她不能再到海上航行，甚至連站立都有困難。漢娜接受手術，度過艱難的一年。 這一次受創，改變了漢娜的生命方向。當她復原後，她決定駕駛自己的船，去到大洋的彼端，夢中的信天翁世界。 漂泊信天翁每兩年會到南半球的伯德島產蛋，從孵化到雛鳥離巢，父母鳥將不斷交替位置養育小鳥，而成鳥的覓食之旅涵蓋3,500公里的範圍，直到小鳥羽翼豐滿，乘風飛離。 漢娜要離開母親的巢了。世界如此遼闊，世界是自由的。 ▍不論下一段故事在哪裡，都將持續前進，行如海潮 從露脊鯨號、英勇號，再到「鯨魚

電影《神鬼奇航》裡浪蕩不羈的靈魂人物－傑克船長、或是《小飛俠》裡的大惡角－虎克船長…文學和影視作品常常將海盜浪漫化，而現實生活中，海盜世界真如劇情述般的自由與神秘嗎？或者是為禍公海的可怕威脅呢？此書中，作者將有關海盜的現實從傳說中分離出來，為讀者客觀介紹了幾個世紀以來的海盜發展史：從困擾古埃及的海盜到維京海盜的襲擊，再到私掠船的時代…作者安格斯深入探討所謂的「海盜的黃金時代」、黑鬍子和吉德船長等代

─成書十年，中國從未放棄併吞南海以為內海、驅趕美國於亞洲之外的野心─面對美中強勢對抗的現狀，台灣與東南亞各國該如何自保？「每一個衝突地區都以前所未見的程度交互影響……就經濟和軍事戰略而言，南中國海構成全球的核心。」──二○二五年新版序▍專文剖析王冠雄　師大政治所教授▍熱烈推薦何思因　台北論壇執行長黃介正　中華戰略暨兵棋研究協會理事長楊念祖　前國防部長中美分治東西半球是否可能，關鍵在南海！中國在南海的作為，正是踏著美國百年前的步伐──一八二三年，美國總統發表「門羅主義」，意在將歐洲勢力趕出美洲。隨後，美國於一八九八年打敗西班牙的殖民帝國，奪下古巴，更費時十年完成巴拿馬運河的開鑿，打通大西洋與太平洋的交通。自此，美國不僅完全掌握加勒比海，更將整個中南美洲納入勢力範圍，實質控制西半球，進而干預全球事務。這段百年前美國經營帝國的事蹟，皆看在今日的中國眼裡。若美國能據有加勒比海，則中國也應當據有南中國海，使之成為名符其實的「中國海」！即使沒有模仿美國的企圖，南海的交通與能源價值也是中國不可能忽視的戰略腹地。每年全世界有三分之一的海上交通須經過南海：從印度洋穿越麻六甲海峽運往東亞的石油，是經過巴拿馬運河的十五倍；日本和台灣將近六○％的能源供應，以及中國八○％的原油進口，亦須經由此處運送。除了波斯灣與東北亞，南海是全球第三重要的戰略據點。從國家定位、政府改造，到建軍備戰，東南亞各國要如何面對南海之爭──作者羅柏．卡普蘭曾受《外交政策》雜誌選為全球百大思想家，不僅是全球知名的戰略分析師，也是足跡遍及世界的旅行文學家，具備深入各地民間的細膩眼光。在本書中，卡普蘭除了針對南海的戰略意義提出分析，更從東南亞各國的內部問題出發，討論其各自的困境：對抗中國逾一千年的越南在南海問題上扮演什麼角色？李光耀在新加坡建立的威權主義固然犧牲了一定的自由，但不僅帶來經濟成長，更奠定了新加坡面對中國威脅的硬實力基礎。相比之下，民族認同脆弱的馬來西亞、貪腐肆虐的菲律賓又要如何伸張國家主權？台灣，這個「自由的前哨站」，是否願意犧牲當前的繁榮富庶，決心對抗中國？南海之爭不只是一場軍事與外交的角力，更是東南亞各國徹底檢討自身的國家定位、政府體制，以及發展策略的試煉。---------------太平洋不太平，全球專家怎麼看？中國現在想要什麼？中國人覺得華府獨霸加勒比海盆地之後，美國在西半球創造了新型的帝國，現在北

何國世老師於OPENBOOK專欄，細說他的「拉丁美洲國別史」 https://www.openbook.org.tw/article/p-67141 讓我們在智利的土地上跳舞／……／這片土地有最翠綠的果園／最金黃的麥田／與最紅的葡萄園／踏上去似糖如蜜！ ——智利詩人米斯特拉 ★讓地圖製造商傷透腦筋，世界最狹長的國家 智利位處南美邊緣，東面為雄偉的安地斯山脈，西面為一望無際的太平洋。天然的地理限制，使智利向南北發展，造就如絲帶般的狹長國土，從南緯18度到南緯57度，總長4200多公里，平均寬度卻僅有300公里！奇特的地形，難以完整放入地圖中，成為地圖製造商最大的惡夢。然而山海環繞、與世隔絕的環境並未阻礙智利人前進的腳步，他們突破大山大海的限制，強勢逆襲，成功躋身拉美強國之列。 ★聽！有詩歌在吟唱！ 智利是詩人的土地，孕育出無數滿載詩意的靈魂。著名詩人米斯特拉以富有強烈感情的抒情詩，成為拉丁美洲首位諾貝爾文學獎得主；文豪聶魯達則以政治與愛情詩歌聞名於世，他以充滿生命力的詩歌，復甦整個美洲大陸的命運及夢想。 ★「依靠公理或武力」──智利國家格言 智利的國家格言，反映了智利建國的歷史。十六世紀，西班牙征服者從秘魯一路南下，踏入智利，建立聖地牙哥城，展開長達二百五十年的殖民統治。十九世紀，美洲掀起獨立革命浪潮，智利人也加入追尋自由的行列，在付出大量的生命後，終於打破殖民的枷鎖，建立共和政體。 ★蓋棺難以論定的鐵腕將軍 不同於多數拉美國家給人動盪貪腐、貧窮落後的印象，智利的民主政治穩定，經濟、文化高度發展，與阿根廷、巴西並稱為ABC三大強國。但今日繁榮的背後，是長達十六年的軍事獨裁。1970～1980年代，在鐵腕將軍皮諾契特的帶領下，創造「智利奇蹟」，免於陷入拉美「失落的十年」。然而皮諾契特實行恐怖統治，大肆迫害異己，在許多智利人心中留下難以磨滅的傷害。鐵腕將軍的功過是非難以蓋棺論定，懷念或追責的矛盾，也持續撕裂著智利社會。

★三多利學藝賞得獎作品 日本文化功勞者得主塩野七生代表作 從威尼斯波瀾壯闊的千年史詩，看見小國的生存之道！ 全新校訂，特別收錄作者親撰〈暢銷經典紀念版序〉 「匈奴人殺過來了！」 異族侵襲，羅馬覆滅，末日已至。面對國破家亡，一群流離失所的倖存者，只能將遠方死寂的潟湖荒地當成最後的希望。儘管土地分散、資源缺乏，四周更有強敵環伺，但移居者賭上一切身家，奮力求生──這就是威尼斯的起點，一座由上百個零碎小島組成的城市，一段海風、商賈與集體意志的史詩。 威尼斯人以河、海為出路，用高超的航海技術與經商手腕取得各地商品，一路從內河貿易重鎮發展成為海上商業強國，並實施共和體制經營國家，穩固國家立基；加上堅強的海軍實力，讓威尼斯得以抗禦外敵，縱橫於各大國之間。這個從一片荒蕪中崛起的小國家，在十一世紀後蛻變為地中海上最耀眼的明星。 但曾經無比輝煌的威尼斯共和國，卻在新世紀來臨之際迎來滅亡。一七九七年，威尼斯臣服在拿破崙的鐵騎之下，幾經易手，最終成為義大利王國的一部分。是什麼原因造成這個傳奇國度殞落？是時勢之必然，或是不敵崛起的新強權？作者塩野七生以其一貫細膩生動、富有文學性的筆調，帶我們跨越千年時光，回首威尼斯共和國的誕生與消逝。 【震．撼．推．薦】 Domenica｜「義大利的星期天」版主 seayu｜「即食歷史」部落客 吳宜蓉｜歷史教師、作家 李文成｜podcast「一歷百憂解」主持人 林芷芸｜「CHIH. 去威尼斯生活提案」版主 金老ㄕ｜「故事：寫給所有人的歷史」專欄作家 馬雅人｜FB粉專「馬雅國駐臺辦事處」大使 楊　照｜作家、評論家 神奇海獅｜歷史作家 廖彥博｜歷史作家 鄭俊德｜「閱讀人社群」主編 （依姓氏筆劃排列） ★細膩考據，豐富的故事性，塩野老師的筆觸再度令我享受歷史之旅的洗禮，探索威尼斯的浪漫、權謀，與風華。 （Domenica｜「義大利的星期天」版主） ★《海都物語》：威尼斯在中世紀可不是浪漫的代名詞，是貪婪，是謀略，是霸道的地中海王者！透過塩野七生充滿生命力的文筆，你將展開一場威尼斯共和國前世今生的沉浸式體驗。 （吳宜蓉｜歷史教師、作家） ★這是一段生長在沼澤、與大海搏鬥，並且夾在各大強權裡，最終綿延國祚千載不衰的傳奇；海國威尼斯的體制與經驗，值得理解與深思。 （李文成｜podc

The Kriegsmarine battleships, in fact, were only four vessels introduced during 1935-1941. The first two, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, were ready before the war and two others, Bismarck and Tirpitz, were commissioned into the fleet after it had begun. That was the biggest achievement in the arming of the German navy conducted by A. Hitler. Interestingly, all these ships served within the period no longer than a fiscal quarter. If we calculate, it lasted from February to May 1941. In the meantime, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were stationed in Brest, France, Bismarck was getting ready for raids on the Atlantic and Tirpitz was finishing her sea trials and getting ready for commissioning. Scharnhorst and Gneisenau had already been through a baptism of fire, which ended with a little victory on the British sea routes. However, staying on the French coast, they constantly were under the threat of air- Chapter 1. Designing and constructing the Scharnhorst and the Gneisenaustrikes. The career of B
