你想像中的古文明都過著怎樣的生活？ 野蠻殘暴、沒有美感、愚昧無知？ 現代人千萬別有優越感，馬雅的文化才真的走在超前端！ 超越現代的建築工藝×跨越千年的曆法紀年×20進制的精準數學 揭開馬雅文明神祕的面紗， 你會發現他們的智慧是你望塵莫及的程度！ ▎馬雅人竟然具備超先進的航天技術？連NASA都震驚了！ 在馬雅的金字塔墓穴中有一副石棺，棺蓋上的浮雕竟然有火箭的圖樣？ 發現石棺的考古學家直呼：不可能！這是兩千多年前的雕刻耶！ 再將這石棺圖的拓印本給NASA人員看之後，NASA人員肯定地表示：這是將宇宙飛船內部構造圖像化的畫作，模擬了NASA的發射畫面。 甚至懷疑是NASA內部將圖樣流傳出去……但才不是！這其實已經存在了上千年！ 馬雅人究竟為何會描繪出這樣的圖樣？他們真的掌握了超越時代的科學技術嗎？ ▎馬雅審美大不同？扁平額頭+鬥雞眼=主流審美！ 現在的人大多數認為飽滿的額頭是有福氣的富貴面相， 就算不談面相或福運，光潔飽滿的額頭也是許多人羨慕的長相！ 但其實在馬雅人心中卻完全相反，他們認為扁平額頭才好看！ 甚至為了追求扁平的額頭，父母會在小孩出生幾天後，將木板綁在額頭上； 扁平額頭之外，他們也崇尚「鬥雞眼」的美感，你沒聽錯！ 父母同樣會在小孩的髮梢綁一顆小球垂在兩眼前，時間一久自然有鬥雞眼！ ▎2012年世界末日的預言不準確嗎？還是人們根本解讀錯誤？ 在電影《2012》上映後，有關馬雅世界末日的預言引發全球極大的關注和討論， 人們開始思考地球未來命運究竟為何？2012年底真的是全人類的終點嗎？ 因為在馬雅的預言中提到，地球將在第5太陽紀徹底毀滅，在馬雅曆法中是3113年，也就是西元2012年12月22日， 但實際上地球並沒有在2012年毀滅，也並無重大天災發生，難道預言都在亂講？ 著名的考古天文學家認為：其實馬雅人自己也沒有認為那天是末日，只是長曆法的一個完整週期輪迴， 就像每年元旦重新開始新的一年、每個禮拜一開始新的一週一樣！ 而世界也只是在2012年12月22日開啟一個新的時代，沒有末日就完全合理了！ 【本書特色】： 馬雅文明神祕且充滿智慧，在天文曆法、建築、醫療、數學、科學等領域的成就都展現出令現代科學家嘆服不已的智慧，甚至許多技術至今仍無法用現有科學來解釋，更讓馬雅文明增添了傳奇色彩。本書以各個面向來探究馬雅文明的多重謎團，並試圖從考古文物的研究重建其歷史原貌，希

Album-designer, loving father, covert Chan master—21st century Renaissance man—Basil is always bringing the many worlds inside him together to create so

本書特色＊Introducing key concepts such as religion, humanity, ideology and education through literature in the Turkish context＊Helping the readers to see and to appreciate the insights of scholars from different research areas, especially literature, education, language teaching.序【Acknowledgements】 I want to thank Mr. Michael Song, the President of Showwe publishing house (Taipei, Taiwan), for his great support and his encouragement for getting academic writings published in Taiwan.

Thinking about Turkey and comparing it to Europe or to Asia, one realises that Turkey is non of them -- and yet, Turkey is also all of them. It represents a vision in a way which it is not specifically inclusive or exclusive. It does not take everything in. But if it takes something in, it giv

Take a journey from the distant past into a future to be imagined with this gorgeous debut picture book whose gradated pages reflect the passage of time. Hundreds of millions of years ago, land took shape. Millions of years ago, dinosaurs lived on Earth.Thousands of years ago, people built towering pyramids. Ten years ago, the landscape looked different. A month ago, it was still summer.A minute ago, the light was turned off. Now! Make a wish! What will you be doing in a week? How will you celebrate your birthday next year? What will you discover when you are older? What will hold you in awe forever? Moving inexorably from an age primeval into a future filled with questions, Johanna Schaible brings her beautiful collage artwork to an exploration of time that melds a conceptual vision with a physical one. With each page turn, the pages gradually become smaller - showing more and more borders from the past - until they reach the present moment, then grow larger again as time expands into

This tale of passion, persistence, and hubris reminds us that what seems foolish in hindsight may have been born of boldness and bravery.The tailor Pierre has a big dream: He wants to fly. To make this outlandish vision a reality, he decides to sew a garment that is up to the task: his very own, resplendent bird coat. But can a human really become a bird with anything but disastrous results? This is a fantastical story of the imagined selves that we dream into being, and the hubris that can come hand-in-hand with these imaginings. Illustrated in the distinctive hand of award-winning Norwegian illustrator Øyvind Torseter, this tale was inspired by the true story of Franz Reichelt, dubbed "the flying tailor," who in 1912 jumped from the Eiffel Tower in an attempt at flight.

A revealing exploration of Edward Hopper’s inspired relationship to New York City through his paintings, drawings, prints, and never-before-published archival materialsThis engaging book delves into the iconic relationship between Edward Hopper (1882–1967) and New York City. This comprehensive look at an essential aspect of the revered American artist’s life reveals how Hopper’s experience of New York’s spaces, sensations, and architecture shaped his vision and served as a backdrop for his distillations of the urban experience. During sidewalk strolls and elevated train rides, Hopper sketched the city’s many windowed facades. Exterior views gave way to interior lives, forging one of Hopper’s defining preoccupations: the convergence of public and private. These permeable walls allowed Hopper to evoke the perplexing awareness of being alone in a crowd that is synonymous with modern urban life.Drawing on the vast resources of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the largest repository of H

Now with a new chapter, this is the eye-opening book fromSunday Timesbestselling author Jeanette Winterson.Drawing on her years of thinking and reading about AI, Jeanette Winterson looks to history, religion, myth, literature, politics and, of course, computer science to help us understand the radical changes to the way we live and love that are happening now.With wit, compassion and curiosity, Winterson tackles AI's most interesting talking points - from the weirdness of backing up your brain and the connections between humans and non-human helpers to whether it's time to leave planet Earth.'Very funny... A kind of comparative mythology, where the hype and ideology of cutting-edge tech is read through the lens of far older stories'Spectator'Refreshingly optimistic'Guardian

You may be surprised to learn that microchips are the new oil—the scarce resource on which the modern world depends. Today, military, economic, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips. Virtually everything—from missiles to microwaves—runs on chips, including cars, smartphones, the stock market, even the electric grid. Until recently, America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower, but America’s edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by players in Taiwan, Korea, and Europe taking over manufacturing. Now, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building initiative to catch up to the US. At stake is America’s military superiority and economic prosperity.Economic historian Chris Miller explains how the technology works and why it’s so important, recounting the fascinating events that led to the United States perfecting the chip design, and to Ameri

★以諧趣連環圖文記錄四位作家、藝術家，於2012-2013年12月在斯德哥爾摩以裸奔抗議瑞典皇家文學院，在確定諾貝爾文學獎人選上的荒誕及對極權的曖昧。★該書圖文並茂，以沉重又輕鬆的筆觸再現了經由光天化日下的驚人行動，身體也可以在瞬間讓世界注目。藝術家裸奔是因為憤怒到了極點。A streaking artist is the result of extreme anger.——2009年諾貝爾文學獎得主 荷塔．慕勒（Herta Müller）高貴的肉體如眩目的閃電∕刺穿權貴把玩的歷史然後如歌如泣地遠逝——引自長詩〈與六四亡靈一起裸奔〉，2012年德國書業和平獎得主 廖亦武這場裸奔抗議，其鋒芒蓋過了諾貝爾頒獎的所有儀式……裸奔能成就劉霞的自由嗎？ ——2000年美國西部筆會寫作自由獎得主 貝嶺「不義的年代，健忘的世界。我，孟煌，手無寸鐵，我裸奔。」——中國藝術家孟煌天下裸奔——只有前行！為了自由、為了人權。裸奔始於一場小小的打賭。2010年諾貝爾和平獎得劉曉波被關押在錦州監獄，未能至斯德哥爾摩領獎，中國藝術家孟煌以DHL將椅子從柏林寄到錦州監獄，椅子下落不明。隔年，莫言獲諾貝爾文學獎，孟煌再度寄了一把椅子到瑞典文學院，希望轉交給莫言，帶回中國給囚禁中的劉曉波。椅子不是炸彈，孟煌認為莫言會帶椅子回中國，而小說家廖亦武則持相反看法。孟煌輸了，一場裸奔行動藝術，就此拉開序幕，在大雪紛飛的斯德哥爾摩音樂廳（Konserthuset）外，在12月10日國際人權日，諾貝爾頒獎典禮之際。2013年，第二場裸奔，由一個裸奔漢發展成四個：孟煌、流亡作家貝嶺與王一梁（2021年逝）、2012年德國書業和平獎得主廖亦武，時間地點相同，這次訴求是以裸奔營救劉曉波以及他那被軟禁在北京家中的妻子劉霞，在全球逾百家媒體鎂光燈閃爍下，他們高呼：「劉曉波！劉霞！中國！自由！」接著被數十名瑞典警察撲倒、押入警車，最後無罪釋放，沒罰一克朗（瑞典幣）。接連二年，孟煌獨裸，完成史無前例以裸奔抗議的行動藝術。 2013年的裸奔，在瑞典文化界引發各方的激烈討論。之所以引起爭論，主要原因在於馬悅然支持莫言獲諾貝爾文學獎。 瑞典國家電視台（Sveriges Television AB，SVT）公佈了馬悅然（Göran Malmqvist）

High Gothic: Christian Art & Iconography of the 13th–14th Century showcases classic examples of statuary, stained glass, diptychs, textiles and caskets that were used in the expression of Christian devotion in Western Europe.‘Gothic’ was originally a derogatory term coined by scholars during the Renaissance to describe the ‘barbaric’ medieval architecture that arose with the decline of the classical forms of the Roman Empire. The word is now understood to describe a style of buildings and objects created between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries which incorporate elements such as novel advances in masonry work and the characteristic ogival arch.The Gothic period saw an increased emphasis on the power of images, where vision became an active force for activating emotion and inspiring contemplation. The great cathedrals constructed in this period―with their thin walls and high vaults filled with statuary and stained-glass windows―were designed to evoke awe among visitors. The exqui

本書為2012年出版《臺灣野鳥圖鑑-陸鳥篇》之增訂版近幾年來因臺灣鳥類現況已有很大變化，除鳥種數從出版當初的593種增加到691種外，圖鑑所依循的Clements世界鳥類名錄及鳥種分科有很大異動，且分類地位變動因而增加許多鳥種，因此新版本中做了大幅度增訂。為了讓圖鑑更完善，作者竭盡所能補充更多更好的圖片，對於鳥種的特徵描述及辨識也做了加強及修正，相信對初學者或進階使用者都會有很大的幫助。本書特色◎
