Charles M. Schulz's beloved comic strip Peanuts has largely been collected and reprinted in black and white. But many who read the comic strip during its original newspaper run remain fond of its brightly colored Sunday pages, which made for a surprisingly different and fulfilling reading experience.

Written in Stone by Polo Bourieau is an extraordinary exploration of how monumental sculpture transforms urban spaces into places of meaning and connection. From the ancient marble quarries of Carrara to the skyscrapers of Hong Kong or the bustling lanes of Chengdu, this richly illustrated book charts Polo’s creative journey, offering profound insights into the dialogue between sculpture, architecture, and community.Structured as an epic narrative inspired by Joseph Campbell’s monomyth theory, Polo’s sculptures become the protagonists of our common narrative of adventure, transformation, and identity. With reflections on the creative process and a conversation with urban planner and design writer Catherine Shaw, the book delves into the challenges and realities of creating public art in the dynamic landscapes of 21st-century China.Written in Stone offers a philosophical meditation on the power of art to shape our cities and ourselves. It invites readers—whether city planners,

‘We must have a procedure – if we are going to hang anyone – that is just,’ said Chief Justice Sir Francis Piggott in 1909, on discovering that Chinese accused of murder were being denied interpretation in Hong Kong’s courts. Due process, no matter how costly or inconvenient, was ‘one of the penalties of empire,’ he declared.Penalties of Empire explores how judges, juries, and lawyers strove to deliver justice during the 150 years when the death penalty was in force in Hong Kong. Nine main chapters focus on key capital trials in the first century of British rule. Among the cases are piracies, assassinations, and crimes of passion and desperation. These chapters describe the proceedings in court and the participants involved. They also explore the debates surrounding each case and the exercise or denial of mercy by governors. Two final chapters discuss the decline of the death penalty after World War II, its suspension after 1966, and the controversies leading to its formal abolition in

A love letter to books, showing how many elements and people contribute to making something beautiful, from Caldecott honoree Elisha Cooper In this poetic and beautifully illustrated ode to creativity and the process of making books, Caldecott honoree Elisha Cooper takes readers on a journey showing how words and art move from one person to another. From writer to reader, and everyone who contributes in between: Here is a book, made with love. An artist's studio overflows with sketches, drafts, a wastebasket, and wonder. A publisher's office hums with computers, layouts, coffee, and teamwork. A printer makes a layout into a book using presses, ink, paper, and time. And that book travels to a school, to a library, to a student, to a home.

The riveting investigative account of Nvidia, the tech company that has exploded in value for its artificial intelligence computing hardware, and Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s charismatic, uncompromising CEO In March 2024, following the revelation that ChatGPT had trained on Nvidia’s microchips, and twenty-one years after its founding in a Denny’s restaurant, Nvidia became the third most-valuable corporation on Earth. In The Thinking Machine, acclaimed journalist Stephen Witt recounts the unlikely story of how a manufacturer of video game components shocked Silicon Valley by establishing a monopoly on AI hardware, and in the process re-invented the computer. Essential to Nvidia’s meteoric success is its visionary CEO Jensen Huang, who more than a decade ago, on the basis of a few promising scientific results, bet his entire company on AI. Through unprecedented access to Huang, his friends, his investors, and his employees, Witt documents for the first time the company’s epic rise and its ic

●《判斷力批判》是康德哲學三大批判的最後一部。●《判斷力批判》探討人心靈的情感作用，解釋了人類文化的審美現象。●全書結構採取二分法的方式，「判斷力的批判」二分為「審美判斷力的批判」與「目的論判斷力的批判」。《判斷力批判》的主旨在於消弭康德哲學前兩部批判所出現的二元分裂，建立一個統一的哲學整體。《純粹理性批判》與《實踐理性批判》，康德哲學這兩部作品之間的分裂招致許多批評。《判斷力批判》的目的在建構連結兩者的可能性。其中一個重要的概念是「自然的形式合目的性」（die formale Zweckmäßigkeit der Natur）。在康德前兩部批判裡，自然原本是沒有目的可言的；有目的可言的是自由概念的領域。但是在《判斷力批判》裡，藉由自然的形式合目的性，康德連結了自然概念與自由概念的領域。這個合目的性並不屬於自然，而是屬於人的認識能力當中的「判斷力」（Urteilskraft）。康德稱它是判斷力的「先驗原則」。當我們的判斷力把它的這個先驗原則加在自然之上時，我們就會產生愉快的情感。這種來自於判斷力先驗原則的愉快情感也是我們在審美或鑑賞時所出現的愉悅感，因此，判斷力同時也是人的審美的能力。

對身處遠離其目標語言之國家的母語教師來說，所在地特定文化帶來的衝擊，經常使其教學理念難以落實，或因此無法取得預期學習成果，這在西歐以外的語言地區尤其明顯。藉由跨文化溝通及其技巧的學習，雖有助於母語教師認識在地文化，並稍加了解當地學習者的學習狀況，但仍顯不足；惟有透過教學現場直接經驗導出的觀念與作法，始能產出符合期待的教學績效。本書描述台灣地區以德語作為第二外語教學之德語教師所面臨的困境，嘗試提出可提升德語學習成效的建議。我們假設：文化回應教學法（CRT）可提供適當解方，使德語教學更有效率並具效能。如何界定台灣地區大學之德語學習者的學習情形呢? 我們以G. Hofstede 及 E. Hall的文化維度理論為基礎，針對選修「跨文化溝通」課程者進行為期3年的問卷調查研究，分析其結果所得到的相關趨勢，應有助於德語課程設計的再優化。本研究成果之參用對象不限於德語教師或其他外語授課教師，少子化趨勢及持續增加的外來移民，促使語言學習者的文化背景更趨多元，由自身文化所形塑的學習經驗勢將影響其外語學習成效，而在面對班級成員組成日趨多元的未來，各領域教師應備有新的因應之道。本書所選擇數個在德國及台灣的實際案例，可運用為面對當前教育趨勢及政策回應之參考。受文化制約的學習行為目前雖已被大量地以包括「包容」、「移民」及「多元」等議題加以處理，然這類做法仍不免有其侷限亦缺乏效益。本書著重討論教師在面對多元文化班級時所遭遇挑戰，並建議結合文化回應教學法的作法與目標以為因應。Muttersprachliche Lehrkräfte sehen sich im zielsprachenfernen Ausland mit kulturspezifischen Einflüssen konfrontiert, die zu Schwierigkeiten bei der Umsetzung von Lehrkonzepten führen können oder nicht den gewünschten Lernerfolg erbringen.

"Pure storytelling at its best."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review Ghostly pirates, lost treasure, and high adventure abound in Fathomless, the sequel to Spineless, set in glittering Gilded Age Florida. After months away at boarding school, Lulu Davenport was looking forward to summer vacation at her home on the southwest Florida coast, especially since her best friend, Algie Emsworth, will be spending his vacation with the Davenport family. But since his widowed mother has fallen on hard times, he's gotten a job nearby that keeps him away from the house most of the day. And Frankie, Lulu's sister and usual companion, is out of commission after injuring herself while sailing. But when Lulu hears about a possible haunting in a nearby abandoned fort and rumors of hidden treasure, she decides it's time to strike out on her own and solve the mystery herself. In the process, she meets Vic, a blind boy who's just moved to town, and the two of them embark on a hunt for clues about the ghostly a

"A beautiful tale of loss and adjustment; for those who have never had to leave home, perhaps a lesson in insight and empathy. Highly recommended." — School Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW)"Beautifully crafted and warmly empathetic." — Kirkus Reviews (STARRED REVIEW)A poignant story about a displaced family making a home in the aftermath of war.​We used to live in a big city. In our apartment window was a star-shaped lamp, shining through the cold. I could recognize home from far away. But then the war began, and we left for another country. Everything is different here—the food, the language, even Mom and me. Today Mom bought us a package of scissors, glue, and cardboard. Can we make this place feel a little more like home? Narrated by a young refugee, A Star Shines Through illustrates the long process of healing with an evocative palette of blues and yellows. This resonant book shows how making art can create a sense of hope and belonging, even in a new and different place.

赫爾曼．施密茨（Hermann Schmitz）1928年出生在德國萊比錫，於2021年5月5日逝世於基爾。從1964年至1980年持續發表了五部十冊的《哲學體系》（System der Philosophie）為其一生的代表著作，並奠定了以「新現象學」（Neue Phänomenologie）為名的哲學學派。他是新現象學的創始人，也是「新現象學學會」（Gesellschaft für Neue Phänomenologie）的精神領袖。若從「新現象學」學派的主要論述看來，學派也可稱為奠基於施密茨諸多關於「身體」的核心論述，所開展出的「身體現象學」學派。 本書包含了身體現象學的理論和實踐兩個方面，並分為兩個主要部分。第一部分介紹施密茨身體現象學的核心概念與其架構。第二部分闡述了新現象學的跨學科發展及其潛在應用。通過施密茨的新現象學，我們展開對胡塞爾現象學理論的修訂，以進一步揭示身體現象的原始混沌與雜多的領域。這將現象學分析擴展到日常經驗中最熟悉，卻難以分析的日常感受，如情感、氛圍、疼痛、自我和虛無感。此外，從意義源於具體身體運作的角度出發，作者展示了如何通過轉變身體團塊的配置和拓撲分布，將患者的不安轉化為安適的可能性，進而呈現新現象學對心理學和精神醫學領域可能提供的實際貢獻。

A middle-grade graphic novel about a Taiwanese American girl navigating identity, bullying, and the messy process of learning to be comfortable in her skin.Between homework, studying, and Chinese school, Měi Yīng’s summer is shaping up to be a boring one. Her only bright spots are practice with her soccer team, the Divas, and the time spent with her năi nai, who is visiting from Taiwan. Although Měi Yīng’s Mandarin isn’t the best and Năi Nai doesn’t speak English, they find other ways to connect, like cooking guōtiē together and doing tai chi in the mornings.By the end of the summer, Měi Yīng is sad to see Năi Nai go—she’s the com­plete opposite of Měi Yīng serious professor mother—but excited to start fifth grade. Until new kid Sid starts making her the butt of racist jokes.

But when he comes face-to-f

We all want to make great decisions, but frequently, we don't. When the moment of truth arrives, we make choices that we later regret. It causes us to wonder if we actually can begin to make better decisions for our lives.Pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel understands this dilemma that we all face. From both personal experience and as a minister and counselor to others, he knows what it is like to be trapped in a cycle of bad decision-making. But over time, he has discovered how to short-circuit the bad-decision cycle, make wise decisions, and begin to become the person God wants us to be.In the Think Ahead Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, Craig draws on the truth of Scripture and the latest research in human behavior to reveal the power of making decisions in advance--what we might call "pre-deciding"--to position ourselves to make the choices we really want to make and avoid those choices that we do not want to make. In the process, he reveals: The sc

A group of magical misfit animals learns to appreciate their seemingly useless powers—and themselves—when they work together to thwart a villain’s attempt to steal their magic.Holly, a grey squirrel, and her animal friends have accepted that they will never be wizards’ familiars. Though they are each magical, their powers are so offbeat—Holly herself can conjure pastries (and only pastries)—that no professional magic-worker would choose any of them as a companion for noble quests. So instead of going on adventures, they languish at the Shelter for Rejected Familiars, where they are known as “shelterlings.”When an old friend appears with a plan for curing the shelterlings’ defective magic, everyone is on board to help him locate and retrieve the ingredients for a powerful spell. But when they learn that his offer is not what it seems, Holly and the shelterlings must fight to defend their magic, discovering in the process that their unorthodox skills may just be what is needed to save th

Frontiers of Memory in the Asia-Pacific explores the making and consumption of conflict-related heritage throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Contributing to a growing literature on ‘difficult heritage’, this collection advances our understanding of how places of pain, shame, oppression, and trauma have been appropriated and refashioned as ‘heritage’ in a number of societies in contemporary East and Southeast Asia and Oceania. The authors analyse how the repackaging of difficult pasts as heritage can serve either to reinforce borders, transcend them, or even achieve both simultaneously, depending on the political agendas that inform the heritage-making process. They also examine the ways in which these processes respond to colonialism, decolonization, and nationalism. The volume shows how efforts to preserve various sites of ‘difficult heritage’ can involve the construction of new borders in the mind between what is commemorated and what is often deliberately obscured or forgotten.

Initially based on a comparative study of Chinese and Euro-American art theory in the 18th and 19th centuries, this book examines how both cultures looked at their own past and their outside, i.e. what was construed as not belonging to their own cultural sphere, and how they devised new ways of adapting them into evolving cultural constructs.While the 17th century was still a time when the epistemological backgrounds of both civilizations were so profoundly different that nearly no dialogue was possible, the 18th century saw the emergence in both places of profound changes that would get them close enough to create the conditions for the beginning of a conversation. First quite superficial and taking shape mostly in the decorative arts, this process of rapprochement, while remaining chaotic and unpredictable, led to wider and more profound zones of contact throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. Through the reinterpretations of each other’s cultural creations, these zones of conta
