本書以日記形式描繪十一歲的 Peter Lee，在一個夏天面對夢想動搖與家中變化的心情。Peter 原本一心想成為古生物學家，計畫中的恐龍考察卻意外失望收場，連心裡最珍惜的願望都像是被風吹散。更令他不安的是，最親近的奶奶 Hammy 生病了，家人卻避而不談，讓他和妹妹 L.B. 在猜測與不確定中摸索前行。在這個不太如意的夏天，Peter 重新拾起筆記本，用觀察、推理與實驗的方式理解身邊的變化，也試著用自己的方式陪伴家人。他或許還不確定未來要走向哪裡，但在記錄與思考之間，他看見了自己能做的事，以及維繫家人的力量。以短篇日記形式呈現，易讀流暢結合幽默與家庭關係的細膩描寫描繪孩子面對夢想與現實落差的真實心情Eleven-year-old Peter Lee has one goal in life: to become a paleontologist. But in one summer, that all falls apart. Told in short, accessible journal entries and combining the humor of Timmy Failure with the poignant family dynamics of Lynda Mullaly Hunt, Peter Lee will win readers' hearts. Eleven year-old Peter Lee has one goal in life: to become a paleontologist. Okay, maybe two: to get his genius kid-sister, L.B., to leave him alone. But his summer falls apart when his real-life dinosaur expedition turns out to be a bust, and he watches his dreams go up in a cloud of asthma-inducing dust.Even worse, his grandmother, Hammy, is sick, and no one will talk to Peter or L.B. about it.

《金錢心理學》並非教你如何用數學公式致富，而是帶你深入理解「為何人們會這樣用錢」。作者摩根・豪澤以19篇精煉短文，揭示我們對金錢的直覺、恐懼、慾望與決策背後的心理機制。真正的財務智慧，不在於知識有多深，而是能否控制情緒與行為。在這本廣受好評的暢銷書中，你會發現投資與理財不是數學題，而是人性課。這本書適合所有想更好理解金錢與自己關係的讀者，幫你在混亂與不確定中，做出更聰明、更穩健的財務選擇。Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

應用行為分析（Applied Behavior Analysis, ABA）是理論也是實務，是身為教師或父母盡職的技能，更是教導幼兒或身心障礙者必備的武功。本書並不是要提供一本速成「食譜」，亦不在解決教育工作者可能遇到的每個問題，畢竟這是不可能的──處理兒童和青少年的問題非常有趣，因為每一個體都不同，沒有一種方法對所有學生都有效。我們希望讀者能應用書中原則，成功開創屬於你自己的「菜單」，而這尤其需

辯證行為治療（Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT），原是專門治療有長期自殺傾向的邊緣性人格疾患，但愈來愈多的實證研究顯示，DBT對許多疾病與問題，尤其是針對情緒缺乏控制或過度控制，以及相關的認知或行為議題，都有很大的幫助，亦能幫助個案改變生活問題所牽涉到的行為、情緒、認知及人際習慣，直接改善情緒失調的習慣模式。 第一版技巧訓練手冊於1993年出版。當時，關於辯證行為

But after a few days on the job, Clay discovers that the store is more curious than either its name or its gnomic owner might suggest. The customers are few and never seem to buy anything; instead, they "check out" obscure volumes from strange corners of the store. Clay concludes the store must be a front for something larger and engineers a complex analysis of the clientele's behavior with the help of his variously talented friends. But when they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, they discover the bookstore's secrets extend far b

《布魯克林有棵樹》75週年紀念版，榮登PBS「美國最愛小說Top 100」。描寫20世紀初，少女法蘭西在紐約布魯克林貧民區成長的心路歷程。她歷經家庭貧困、父親酗酒、親戚奇行，仍堅強面對生活。小說細膩刻畫平凡日常中的喜悅與哀愁，真摯動人，被譽為一部直抵人心的美國經典。A PBS Great American Read Top 100 PickA special 75th anniversary edition of the beloved American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the twentieth century.From the moment she entered the world, Francie Nolan needed to be made of stern stuff, for growing up in the Williamsburg slums of Brooklyn, New York demanded fortitude, precocity, and strength of spirit. Often scorned by neighbors for her family’s erratic and eccentric behavior—such as her father Johnny’s taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissy’s habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorce—no one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolans’ life lacked drama. By turns overwhelming, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolans’ daily experiences are raw with honestly and tenderly threaded with family connectedness. Betty Smith has, in the pages of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

為什麼聰明人也會做出愚蠢行為？從比爾‧柯林頓的醜聞到休‧葛蘭特的荒唐事件，再到不合理的怒吼、扭曲的自我認知，《與內在白癡共處》以幽默又犀利的筆觸，揭露人類潛意識中那個叫作「Inner Dummy」的原始衝動！心理作家大衛‧魏納融合佛洛伊德理論與演化心理學，解析我們腦中那渴望性、地位與生存的原始本能。讀者不僅能笑看社會奇聞，更能學會如何駕馭內心的白癡衝動，避免讓生活陷入災難。From the sexcapades of Bill Clinton to the unbelievable story of Hugh Grant and the prostitute; from the 15-year-old who weighs only 82 pounds but believes she's obese, to the professor who screams profanities at other drivers in snarled traffic--we wonder out loud, "What are they thinking?!" What drives so many apparently normal, intelligent people to act irrationally, harming themselves and others?According to Sigmund Freud, such behavior may be caused by the "id," our built-in mental invitation to everything from dangerous fun to horrendous acts of irrationality. For popular psychology writer David Weiner, "id" stands for "Inner Dummy," the part of the brain that we must come to understand if we are ever to know why we do foolish, irrational, and compulsive things.

Developed from three decades' worth of lecture notes which the author used to teach at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this unique textbook presents a comprehensive treatment of structural dynamics and mechanical vibration. The chapters in this book are self-contained so that instructors can choose to be selective about which topics they teach. Written with an application-based focus, the text covers topics such as earthquake engineering, soil dynamics, and relevant numerical methods techniques that use MATLAB. Advanced topics such as the Hilbert transform, gyroscope forces, and spatially periodic structures are also treated extensively. Concise enough for an introductory course yet rigorous enough for an advanced or graduate-level course, this textbook is also a useful reference manual - even after the final exam - for professional and practicing engineers.

Guiding graduate students and researchers through the complex world of laser physics and nonlinear optics, this book provides an in-depth exploration of the dynamics of lasers and other relevant optical systems, under the umbrella of a unitary spatio-temporal vision. Adopting a balanced approach, the book covers traditional as well as special topics in laser physics, quantum electronics and nonlinear optics, treating them from the viewpoint of nonlinear dynamical systems. These include laser emission, frequency generation, solitons, optically bistable systems, pulsations and chaos and optical pattern formation. It also provides a coherent and up-to-date treatment of the hierarchy of nonlinear optical models and of the rich variety of phenomena they describe, helping readers to understand the limits of validity of each model and the connections among the phenomena. It is ideal for graduate students and researchers in nonlinear optics, quantum electronics, laser physics and photonics.
