'A fascinating tale of poisons and poisonous deeds which both educates and entertains.' - Kathy ReichsAs any reader of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring — and popular — weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the fascinating tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins, showing how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads readers on a fascinating tour of the intricate, com

The definitive history of the 1990s New York Knicks, illustrating how Pat Riley, Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Charles Oakley, and Anthony Mason resurrected the iconic franchise through oppressive physicality and unmatched grit. For nearly an entire generation, the New York Knicks have been a laughingstock franchise. Since 2001, they've spent more money, lost more games, and won fewer playoff series than any other NBA team. But during the preceding era, the Big Apple had a club it was madly in love with--one that earned respect not only by winning, but through brute force. The Knicks were always looking for fights, often at the encouragement of Pat Riley. They fought opposing players. They fought each other. Hell, they even occasionally fought their own coaches. The NBA didn't take kindly to their fighting spirit. Within two years, league officials moved to alter several rules to stop New York from turning its basketball games into bloody mudwrestling matches. Nevertheless, as the 1990s

鑑於印度大學目前使用的華語教材相當老舊，且與印度的國情與文化有極大差距，故印度臺灣華語教育中心決議為印度學習者編寫一套國別化華語教材。本書以幽默有趣的故事、文化對比的角度介紹臺灣和印度的文化特色。主要學習對象為在印度大學學習華語第二年、華語程度A2 - B1的印度學生，以文化比較與語言學習為主軸，設計在地化的教材。每一課分為七部分：課程目標及課文屬性、課文對話、短文、生詞、語法、跨文化延伸和語言任務。希望此書在印度華語教材和臺印文化交流上扮演領頭羊角色，期盼拋磚引玉，能專門為在印度學習華語的學習者編寫更多元、更適性的華語教材。Given that the Mandarin textbooks currently used by Indian universities are pretty outdated, bearing a large gap with the Indian culture and condition of the nation, TEC has been proactive in advancing pedagogies and teaching materials. Incredible Mandarin is targeted at students learning Mandarin Chinese for the second year at Indian universities or those with Chinese skills between CEFR A2 and B1 levels. This book is designed with localized content aiming at cultural comparison and language learning for communication. The ten lessons are threaded by an interesting story, introducing cultural highlights of Taiwan and India through cross-culture comparison. Each lesson is divided into seven parts: Lesson Objectives and Topic

本書透過梳理北宋前期的政治過程，分析宋代古文運動展開的歷史脈絡。上篇探討1008至1033年的所謂「天書時代」，如何在真宗與徐鉉後學的合作下，融合漢唐經學、讖緯學、道教思想於一體；下篇探討仁宗朝的古文運動如何在批判天書時代的政治文化中誕生。為探討此一政治過程，本書所關注的士大夫群體遠多於范仲淹及其政治支持者，從而深化仁宗朝古文運動的歷史過程。本書認為，天書時代是趙宋君臣將漢唐君主對「太平」的想像與操作，進行總結性的重組與展示，以為統治的正當性張本；天書時代在仁宗朝的破產，意味著此時士大夫反省，甚至放棄漢唐儒學所賦予的政治理念。是故，從天書時代到古文運動，可謂是中國政治史與儒學史典範轉移的關鍵時期。【名家推薦】這本改寫自博士論文的論著，在經過用心地大幅修改之後，不僅論證更為詳密，讀來也更容易掌握北宋前期的政治過程。全書的重點在指出，宋仁宗時代再興的古文運動，不僅是一項文學運動，也是一項針對從宋真宗大中祥符以後，到仁宗初期劉太后掌政期間，即本書所稱「天書時代」盛行的讖緯與道教化經學的經典重新解釋運動，且有其現實上的政治關懷。本書以文化資源如何運用於政治的考察，對北宋前期政治史的演進過程提供了一個新的觀察角度；而文中所涉及的個別問題，也注意到不少過去學者所未注意的歷史現象。此一新觀察角度，足以和學界原有的觀點並存，共同豐富我們對北宋前期歷史的認識。── 梁庚堯（臺大歷史系名譽教授）Based on a brilliant, critical reading of the primary sources, Chang Wei-ling presents a new and powerfully persuasive re-interpretation of the first 100 years of Song political and intellectual history. Meticulously researched, this work integrates the history of a distinctive “Great Peace” (taiping 太平) religious and political culture in the Zhenzong era (997-1022) and the later reaction against thi
