睡前，Archibald問媽媽：「妳會永遠愛我嗎？」於是媽媽說出一個溫柔的祕密——愛不只是當孩子乖巧可愛時，而是在每個平凡與淘氣的瞬間都在。作者Astrid Desbordes以詩意的對照句式，描寫母子共享的日常與幻想，而最後一句「我愛你，因為你是我的孩子，但你永遠不屬於我」，更點出愛的真意：陪伴而非佔有。Pauline Martin的插圖清新溫潤，讓這份母愛的告白更顯真摯動人。Une histoire d'Archibald"Une ode à l'amour maternel tout en poésie et sans une once de mièvrerie. Un petit miracle. Un livre splendide, qui engage, qui rassure, qui fortifie." --Télérama- Dis, maman, est-ce que tu m'aimeras toute la vie ? demande Archibald, un soir avant de s'endormir- Hum, eh bien, je vais te dire un secret..., répond sa maman.Ainsi commence le tendre inventaire des moments de vies partagés entre une mère et son enfant, où tout devient prétexte à s'aimer.Sur chaque double page, Astrid Desbordes a choisi d'opposer en vis-à-vis des situations contraires, qui jouent avec aisance sur les registres du quotidien et de l'imaginaire, de la poésie et de l'humour. Le message de cet irrésistible album est simple et limpide : l'amour est constant et sans condition. Mais c'est dans la toute de

First published in 1818, The World as Will and Representation contains Schopenhauer's entire philosophy, ranging through epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind and action, aesthetics and philosophy of art, to ethics, the meaning of life and the philosophy of religion, in an attempt to account for the world in all its significant aspects. It gives a unique and influential account of what is and is not of value in existence, the striving and pain of the human condition and the possibility of deliverance from it. This translation of the first volume of what later became a two-volume work reflects the eloquence and power of Schopenhauer's prose and renders philosophical terms accurately and consistently. It offers an introduction, glossary of names and bibliography, and succinct editorial notes, including notes on the revisions of the text which Schopenhauer made in 1844 and 1859.

Covering many techniques widely used in research, this book will help researchers in the physical sciences and engineering solve troublesome - and potentially very time consuming - problems in their work. The book deals with technical difficulties that often arise unexpectedly during the use of various common experimental methods, as well as with human error. It provides preventive measures and solutions for such problems, thereby saving valuable time for researchers. Some of the topics covered are: sudden leaks in vacuum systems, electromagnetic interference in electronic instruments, vibrations in sensitive equipment, and bugs in computer software. The book also discusses mistakes in mathematical calculations, and pitfalls in designing and carrying out experiments. Each chapter contains a summary of its key points, to give a quick overview of important potential problems and their solutions in a given area.

Trauma recovery is tricky; however, there are several key principles that can help make the process safe and effective. This book gives patients and therapists alike the skills to understand and implement the eight keys to successful trauma survival: mindfulness; a focus on survival; recovery without false memories; creating an inner dialogue that soothes; building psychological defenses to cope; understanding the role of shame; finding your own recovery pace; and recognizing and using common sense in safe recovery.This is not another book promoting a new method or type of treatment; rather, it is a necessary adjunct to other therapies.

Kant is the central figure of modern philosophy. He sought to rebuild philosophy from the ground up, and he succeeded in permanently changing its problems and methods. This revised edition of the Prolegomena, which is the best introduction to the theoretical side of his philosophy, presents his thought clearly by paying careful attention to his original language. Also included are selections from the Critique of Pure Reason, which fill out and explicate some of Kant's central arguments (including famous sections of the Schematism and Analogies), and in which Kant himself explains his special terminology. The first reviews of the Critique, to which Kant responded in the Prolegomena, are included in this revised edition. The volume is completed by a historical and philosophical introduction, explanatory notes, a chronology, and a guide to further reading.
