Bless the Bride

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Kerri Maniscalco makes her adult debut with this New York Times bestselling sensation, a "hot" new standalone fantasy romance (Jennifer L. Armentrout) about a dark prince battling an impossible curse--and the artist who might be the only one who can set him free. Sinner. Villain. Wicked. The Prince of Envy has never claimed to be a saint. But when a cryptic note arrives, signaling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows it will take more than a hint of sin to win and save his falling demon court. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way, though none of his meticulous plans prepare him for her, the frustrating artist who ignites his sin like no other... Virtuous. Darling. Liar. The trouble with scoundrels and blackguards is that they haven't a modicum of honor, a fact Miss Camilla Antonius learns after one desperate mistake allows Waverly Green's most notorious rake to blackmail her. To avoid a ruinous scandal, Camilla i

2021年4月30日出版的英國《經濟學人》期刊（The Economist）以聳動標題：〈臺灣是世界上最危險的地方〉（The most dangerous place on Earth）作為封面，意味著當前的臺海情勢暗潮洶湧。然而，1949年至1950年中華民國政府剛退到臺灣，百廢待舉、內外交困，而中共正積極準備攻臺時，完全孤立的臺灣情勢才是真正危險。 ＊從軍事外交來看1949年政府遷臺後的危機與轉機 ＊深入探討大陳江浙反共救國軍與一江山戰役 1949年底政府從四川遷臺，在1950年前半，南澳島、東山島、海南島失守，嵊泗列島、舟山群島自動撤退，廣東海面萬山群島戰役開打。相對於平靜多年的現在，當時在韓戰爆發之前，美國、蘇聯、中共三方的政策演化與彼此互動關係，都讓中華民國政府能否守住臺灣，劃了一個大大的問號。 韓戰爆發以後，軍事與外交局勢轉變，國軍在沿海島嶼不但固守，也有數次突擊行動，踏出反攻大陸的第一步。 從1949年後半的大遷徙，到1955年《中美共同防禦條約》生效，短短五、六年的關鍵年代中，中華民國政府能夠在臺灣、澎湖、金門、馬祖站穩，並且奠定了後來發展的基礎，不論從海峽兩岸或是國際情勢的發展來看，軍事和外交的因素都扮演了最重要的角色。 回顧1950年代前期的世局，是美國和蘇聯所分別領導的民主和共產國家間的冷戰和熱戰交互進行的時代，也 是兩岸不斷兵戎相見的時代。其中對中華民國生存發展影響最大的，首推中共的作為和美國的對華政策。中共毛澤東政權在那關鍵年代，對內推動無產階級專政的仇恨統治，使得許多對它有期待的人民失望、甚至轉而反對，而它在國外向蘇聯史達林政府亦步亦趨地學習、徹底進行對蘇聯「一邊倒」的政策，則冷卻了美國與之建立關係的期望。 美國原來在中國內戰中已經決定袖手，有人甚至準備接受中共占領臺灣，卻因為中共與蘇聯結盟，正式對史達林臣服，讓蘇聯勢力直入東亞和南海，因此考慮改變對臺灣的政策；接著韓戰的突然發生，顯示共產集團勢力不斷對外擴展，於是決定介入臺海。史達林、金日成和毛澤東的決策和美國的因應，反而形成了中華民國在臺灣復興的契機。 韓戰中止之後，中共立即增兵沿海，企圖攻略浙東沿海島嶼，作為再進犯金門以及臺灣的第一步，與國軍不斷進行海空交戰。最後在1955年1月，共軍以最先進的裝備、十餘倍的三軍兵力、壓倒式的絕對優勢，攻下了浙江外海大陳列

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit, an investigation of what makes conversations work, and how we can all learn to be supercommunicators at work and in our livesThe right conversation, at the right moment, can change everything.We all know people who seem capable of connecting with anyone. They are the ones we turn to for advice, who ask the best questions—but who are also able to hear what goes unsaid, what we are really trying to say.Why are these people so good at connecting? And what can they tell us about how communication works?Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg argues, understand—some by intuition, some by hard-won experience—that there is a science to how human beings connect. They understand that every time we speak to someone, we’re actually engaging in one of three conversations: What is this really about? How do we feel? And, Who are we? They know the importance of identifying what kind of conversation we’re having, and then matching it, so tha

'An acerbic, compelling and always accessible account of how opium corrupted the world' TLS'The writing is sublime, the research thorough, the eye for story superb' Sunday TelegraphWhen Amitav Ghosh began the research for his monumental cycle of novels the Ibis Trilogy, he was startled to find how the lives of the 19th century sailors and soldiers he wrote of were dictated not only by the currents of the Indian Ocean, but also by the precious commodity carried in enormous quantities on those currents: opium. Most surprising of all, however, was the discovery that his own identity and family history was swept up in the story.Smoke and Ashes is at once a travelogue, memoir and a history, drawing on decades of archival research. In it, Ghosh traces the transformative effect the opium trade had on Britain, India, and China, as well as the world at large.The trade was engineered by the British Empire, which exported Indian opium to sell to China and redress their great trade imbalance, and

美國《華盛頓郵報》及《時代週刊》視之為千古風雲人物的成吉思汗！征服，是成吉思汗的夢！征服蒙古諸部落、攻金征討西遼，征服是沒有止境的。只有當所有獵物在他腳下發抖時，征服才可能宣告結束！從小汗到一代天驕，成吉思汗史詩般的壯闊人生！成吉思汗確是一位奇人，一個身經百戰的大汗，從馳騁草原到攻堅大城高壘。他沒有讀過多少書，卻能從生活中悟出許多道理，制定自己切實可行的戰略戰術。後世對成吉思汗評價：＊南宋使者趙珙著有《蒙韃備錄》，書中評價：「今成吉思皇帝者，……。其人英勇果決，有度量，能容眾，敬天地，重信義。」＊蒙古帝國伊兒汗國史學家志費尼《世界征服者史》評價：「倘若那善於運籌帷幄、料敵如神的亞歷山大活在成吉思汗時代，他會在使計用策方面當成吉思汗的學生，而且，在攻略城池的種種妙策中，他會發現，最好莫如盲目地跟成吉思汗走。」＊明朝官修正史《元史》評價：「帝深沉有大略，用兵如神，故能滅國四十，遂平西夏。其奇勳偉跡甚眾，惜乎當時史官不備，或多失於紀載云。」＊民國史學家張振佩《成吉思汗評傳》評價：「成吉思汗之功業擴大人類之世界觀──促進中西文化之交流──創造民族新文化。」鐵木真為中國史上傑出的政治家、軍事家、戰略家，一生征戰無數。在他登基時，諸王和群臣為他上蒙語尊號「成吉思汗」，在位期間，攻滅金朝、西遼與西夏，統一了中國北方，並西征中亞和歐洲，帶領他的子民逐步由落後走向文明，為龐大強盛的蒙古帝國奠定了基石。1995年12月31日，美國《華盛頓郵報》公布了該報「千年風雲人物」（Man of the Millennium）的最終人選──成吉思汗。入選理由是：成吉思汗以其「全球化」的眼光，建立了橫跨歐亞大陸的自由貿易圈。在網絡還未出現的七百多年前，成吉思汗就打開了全球信息交流通道，他是拉近世界各國最偉大的人。1999年12月，美國《時代週刊》也把成吉思汗列為「千年人物」第一位。本書以小說體裁描述成吉思汗英雄史詩般的一生，如同一幅雄奇壯闊的歷史畫卷，作者以飽蘸激情的筆墨，塑造了一批血肉飽滿、情感熾烈的英雄男兒群像，氣勢恢宏，引人入勝。成吉思汗前些日子派往花剌子模國的商隊中的商人，竟有四百四十九人成了花剌子模國的刀下冤鬼，五百馱金銀財貨被搶了個淨光，僅餘一人回來報信。成吉思汗龍顏大怒，憤怒的吼聲似乎要將這大帳掀上天去。於是，二十萬蒙古大軍翻越阿爾泰山，跨越天山，撲向廣袤的中亞草原。短短數年，蒙古人的

故事，讓人感動的同時，也學到人生的道理！【作者的話】官以甯 從小我就愛看繪本，我發現「故事」可以讓人在感動的同時學到各種人生的道理。除了當個讀者，我也想嘗試透過繪本與讀者溝通，分享自己的想法和領悟，並且用故事描寫大家在生活中遇到的困難，讓我們跟著主角一起學習與成長。 在本書中，我想傳達兩個想法——首先，真正展現我們人品的，更大程度是來自我們的選擇，遠多於我們的能力（It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.）；再者，不管他人怎麼看你，都不要停止做正確的事（Don't stop doing the right thing no matter how others think of you.）。 就像書中主角狐狸小橘面臨的處境，儘管牠善良又喜歡幫助別人，但不管牠做了多少好事，大家依然不相信，認為「狐狸都是壞蛋，所以小橘一定也是壞蛋」。 讓我們一起想想：小橘應該堅持善良的本性嗎？或是乾脆順著大家的成見，當個壞蛋算了？看完繪本，相信大家終於學會了：要用一個人的行為來判斷他的好壞，而不是看外表。而小橘也明白了：要堅持做對的事，因為決定我們未來的，是我們做的「選擇」。【爸爸的話】官振魁那個餵故事書長大的孩子…… 以甯是個用故事養大的孩子。受到汪培珽老師「餵故事書長大的孩子」啟發，當年還是新手爸媽的我們，從月子中心剛回家，就開始每天唸繪本給孩子聽，中英文繪本都唸。 爸爸的床前故事是每晚的重要儀式，上了小學演變成「DADA阿姨説故事」加爸爸唸《西遊記》。等到《西遊記》裡的妖精不再驚奇，「把拔，你自己編一個妖怪」——我們家的私房西遊記於焉登場，每晚準時上演。 即使出差國外網路訊號不好，向客戶告罪一聲後，我們有請孫大聖在越洋電話中克服難關，讓寶貝女兒可以安然入睡——雖然被安慰更多的，是説故事的爸爸。幾年下來，唐三藏師徒額外收服了超過一千位妖怪，「西天」成為遙不可及的夢想，而「故事」也成為我們家的重要夥伴。 一如預期的，孩子飛快地長大了；有點出乎意料的，這個用故事養大的孩子，現在想把自己創作的故事分享給其他的孩子。 這次，那一千個妖怪跟我們夫妻，拉張板凳坐下，一起靜靜欣賞……
