★ 被遺忘的影像寶庫，揭開法國科學與工業創新的視覺歷史★ 從戰爭研究到日常生活，見證影像如何改變人類世界★ 科學×設計×影像，一部跨越時代的視覺文化之書1916年至1939年間，法國在國家政策推動下，大量生產科學與工業研究相關的影像與影片。這些長期被忽視的資料，不只是紀錄，更是見證創新歷程的珍貴視窗。本書帶領讀者回到那個動盪又充滿實驗精神的年代，從戰爭與國防需求出發，逐步轉向民生與日常生活，描繪出一段影像與科技交織的歷史。那些看似冷靜理性的紀錄影像，卻同時蘊含驚人的美學張力，也揭示了研究制度如何逐步被建立與規範。當攝影與影像被用於展示、教育與傳播，甚至成為知識的載體，人類對世界的理解也隨之改變。本書不僅回顧一段歷史，更讓我們重新思考：影像如何塑造我們所認知的「真實」。Between 1916 and 1939 thousands of films and photographs were produced in France, in line with the national policy encouraging scientific and industrial research. These largely unknown images stand as visual witnesses to twenty years of invention and research. Their analog archives trace through the history of innovation, anchored at first in war and national defence, before shifting towards civilian and domestic life.This history, interlaced with design, lies at the crossroads of science, technology and industry. The images also tell a story that is still unfolding today, that of the institutionalisation of research. From the very beginning a systematic

本書是Dale Peck結合回憶錄與長篇隨筆的作品，回望 1987 至 1996 年間愛滋疫情最動盪的時期。作者以拼貼式結構，穿梭抒情、評論與報導書寫，描繪街頭行動者、藝術家與感染者的日常，也直面政府的遲疑與冷漠。從紐約、倫敦到密爾瓦基，書寫不僅關於疾病，更關於恐懼、慾望、身分與公共行動。本書細膩呈現AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power的現場經驗，同時反思文學如何在危機中保存記憶，為那個仍未遠去的年代留下必要而清醒的見證。A Flavorwire Best Nonfiction Book of 2015A Bay Area Reporter Best LGBT Nonfiction of 2015 Selection"Novelist and critic Dale Peck's latest work--part memoir, part extended essay--is a foray into what the author calls "the second half of the first half of the AIDS epidemic," i.e., the period between 1987, when the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) was founded, and 1996, when the advent of combination therapy transformed AIDS from a virtual death sentence into a chronic manageable illness. Reminiscent of Joan Didion's The White Album and Kurt Vonnegut's Palm Sunday, Visions and Revisions has been assembled from over a dozen essays and articles that have been extensively rewritten and recombined to form a sweeping, collage-style portrait of a tumultuous era.

這本書是一本獨特、實用且充滿關懷的手冊，收集了許多經歷過喪妻或失去伴侶之痛的男性們的親身經歷、日常軼事與誠懇建議。作者 Jan Robinson 在丈夫突然驟逝後，開始向她所遇到的每一位寡婦詢問度過喪偶悲痛的建議，並將其集結成第一本書《Tips from Widows》。令她驚訝的是，那本書出版後不僅收到寡婦們的迴響，也收到許多鰥夫的求助與反饋。於是她進一步蒐集了男性們的經驗，推出了這本專門寫給喪偶男性的指南，幫助他們在面對巨大哀傷時找到前進的力量。With foreword by journalist Robert Peston When Jan Robinson's husband died suddenly and unexpectedly, she had the idea of asking any other widows, whenever and wherever she met them, for two tips about how to deal with widowhood. From this advice, she constructed her beautiful first volume, Tips from Widows. To Robinson's surprise, the book generated an overwhelming response not only from widows, but also from widowers.From these outpourings it became evident that a second book, this time for widowers, was inevitable. Grief is an unmanageable emotion and the form it takes is unique to every man whose wife or partner has died. There are no set rules about coping with loss.Some people struggle with it for years and maybe never get over it. Others manage to move on.

聚焦二十世紀末至二十一世紀初回應愛滋危機的美國文學，探討悲傷如何在文本中被書寫、處理，並進一步形塑性別與性向認同。作者以佛洛伊德精神分析為理論基礎，細讀多部關鍵作品，分析「哀悼」與「憂鬱」如何成為理解文本秩序與斷裂的關鍵。書中討論Edmund White、Michael Cunningham、Eve Sedgwick等作者的作品，並延伸至ACT UP Oral History Project的口述歷史檔案，呈現同志書寫與後現代詩學之間的交織。本書指出，文本不僅反映身分，也參與身分的生成與鞏固，對同志文學研究、酷兒理論與愛滋再現提供重要觀點。This book discusses the significance of late twentieth century and early twenty first century American fiction written in response to the AIDS crisis and interrogates how sexual identity is depicted and constructed textually. Pearl develops Freudian psychoanalytic theory in a complex account of the ways in which grief is expressed and worked out in literature, showing how key texts from the AIDS crisis by authors such as Edmund White, Michael Cunningham, Eve Sedgwick – and also, later, the archives of The ACT UP Oral History Project - lie both within the tradition of gay writing and a postmodernist poetics. The book demonstrates how literary texts both expose and construct personal identity, how they expose and produc

自從哥哥裘德咬傷葛蕾絲、消失無蹤後，她的人生再也不同了。她雖然擁有了此生的最愛：丹尼爾，但原本美滿的家庭卻變得支離破碎。某日，消失許久的裘德打電話給葛蕾絲，警告她：「不要相信他。妳以為他可以相信，但妳錯了！」的確，丹尼爾雖然在她身邊，但她不時感覺到他的心不在焉，像在隱瞞些什麼似的。但有什麼事情對最深愛的人說不出口？有什麼祕密不能對靈魂伴侶吐露？如果他不信任自己，那麼她當初為了救贖他的靈魂做出的犧牲，又算什麼？相愛的人之間不應該有謊言，謊言只會讓人越來越迷惘、最終走向毀滅……與其成為怪物而活著，不如以葛蕾絲．狄凡的身分死去……我跪在丹尼爾面前，鎖住我的鏈子已經拉到底；我想親手捧著他的臉，但是我搆不到，鎖住我的鏈子已經不能讓我再前進。我轉而凝視著他深邃的黑色眼眸，彷彿能夠一輩子沉浸其中。我們不可能逃出去，不管我們有多少信心，光憑我們兩個還是打不贏一堆魔鬼。但是，有一個方法可以不讓我內心的惡魔打敗我。我竭盡所能地朝他靠過去，丹尼爾也盡可能地靠近我；我和他的脣只剩毫米之遙，我使出全力拉扯鏈子，感覺自己的手臂就快脫臼，但我多前進了幾毫米，成功吻住丹尼爾的脣。我深深吻著丹尼爾，彷彿這是我和他之間的最後一個吻。然而，我很清楚，這是事實。明天早上，為了拯救我所愛的人，我將死去。The non-stop sequel to The Dark Divine delivers an even hotter romance and more thrilling action than Bree Despain's first novel.

《It's About Excellence》重新界定了企業倫理在組織中的角色，明確指出倫理不只是「避免違法」或「降低風險」的工具，而是追求卓越與長期成功的核心動力。作者 David W. Gill 結合多年企業顧問與倫理教學經驗，指出若倫理僅由法務或合規部門主導，往往流於事後補救，反而錯失建立高信任文化的關鍵契機。本書主張，真正健康的組織倫理應由全體成員共同形塑與實踐，透過清楚而具啟發性的使命與願景，將價值觀深植於企業文化與日常決策之中。倫理不再是外加規範，而是一種內建於組織運作的行動準則，引導企業在競爭中做出更好的選擇。文字風格清楚務實，理論基礎紮實，並提供可操作的方法與案例，適合企業領導者、管理者，以及關心組織文化與永續經營的讀者閱讀，是一本兼顧理念與實務的企業倫理入門與進階讀物。It's About Excellence: Building Ethically Healthy Organizations For too many businesses and their leaders today, business ethics is just about staying out of jail. Litigation, indictment, and penal system avoidance is not just the first but the only reason they think ethics is important. It's about damage control. It's not by accident that these damage control ethics programs are generally under the guidance of legal and compliance departments. Of course companies need a damage control, crisis management, trouble-shooting component in their ethics and management toolbox. But if that's all there is, something of critical business value is missin

Yet the proof of evolution by natural selection is vast, varied, and magnificent. In this succinct and accessible summary of the facts supporting the theory of natural selection, Jerry A. Coyne dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms the scientific truth that supports this amazing process of change.
