《Troubled》是一本動人且引人深思的回憶錄，講述Rob Henderson從破碎家庭、寄養制度到美國空軍，再到耶魯與劍橋求學的奮鬥歷程。他提出「奢侈信念」(luxury belief) 的觀念，揭示上層社會藉由炫耀進步思想來獲取地位，卻讓弱勢者承受代價。本書深刻描繪階級、家庭與身分的掙扎，令人動容。NATIONAL BESTSELLER In this "affecting...intriguing...heartbreaking" (Booklist) coming-of-age memoir, Rob Henderson vividly recounts growing up in foster care, enlisting in the US Air Force, attending elite universities, and pioneering the concept of "luxury beliefs"--ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class while inflicting costs on the less fortunate. Rob Henderson was born to a drug-addicted mother and a father he never met, ultimately shuttling between ten different foster homes in California. When he was adopted into a loving family, he hoped that life would finally be stable and safe. But divorce, tragedy, poverty, and violence marked his adolescent and teen years, propelling Henderson to join the military upon completing high school. A "vivid, insightful, poignant, and powerful" (Nicholas A. Christakis, author of

前言 動脈導管 (Arterial line, A-line) 是麻醉科醫師在臨床工作上常用的測量血壓的工具，可以每分每秒即時觀察病患的血壓，對於麻醉安全至為重要。此外，A-line 也能方便抽血 (Blood sampling)。現今 A-line 廣泛用在各種重症病患或重大手術之上，包括（不局限於）下列情形：1. 它是所有開心手術的必備項目。2. 病患的 Volume status 可能發生快速且劇烈的變化時，或是有大量失血之風險時。3. 病患的血壓在手術過程中可能發生劇烈而不穩定的變化，例如，嗜鉻細胞(Pheochromocytoma) 的切除手術。4. 心律不整合併左心室收縮功能不良，尤其是心房顫動。早期想要知道病患的血流動力學變化，例如心搏輸出量、Cardiac index、Systemi cvascular resistance⋯⋯等，必須使用 Pulmonary artery catheter (PAC)、經食道超音波 (TEE)、或是 PiCCO 才能得知病患詳細的血流動力學 (Hemodynamics) 之相關數值，但是受限於其高度侵入性，未能廣泛推展到所有重大手術或重症病患。近幾年來，各種 A-line CCO 的工具在臨床上大量地使用，可以將動脈血壓的波形輪廓經由電腦內設程式的分析計算，得到各種的血流動力學參數。既然 A-line CCO 可以將動脈波形經由動脈脈搏輪廓分析法 (APCA methods) 計算出相關的血流動力學參數，我們就必須去思考下列幾個重要的問題。1. High stroke volume 的動脈波形，或 Low stroke volume 的動脈波形，在形態上具有什麼樣的特徵？2. High SVRI 的動脈波形，或 Low SVRI 的動脈波形，在形態上具有什麼樣的特徵？3. Dehydration 的動脈波形，或 Euvolemia 的動脈波形，在形態上具有什麼樣的特徵？4. 特定的動脈波形是否代表著特殊的臨床意義？麻醉醫師能不能在沒有 A-line CCO 的輔助之下，從動脈波形輪廓上判 讀出病患的血流動力學的狀況呢？答案是可以的。動脈波形 (Arterial pulse pressure waveform) 是病患血流動力學的靈魂之窗，藉由分析動脈波形的形態與細節，我們能夠找到許多診斷血流動力學的訊息

With a colorful cast of characters and a cellar full of wine, anything can happen--from murder to a second chance at love--in Jenny Elder Moke's half mystery, half romance adult debut set at a lavish destination wedding. A high-end wedding on a private island off the coast of Seattle sounds like something out of a magazine. But for bestselling mystery author Kate Valentine, it's more like a nightmare.

And because the groom happens to be her editor, she'll try to finish a draft of her latest Loretta Starling mystery as a wedding gift. But when the bride is poisoned and Kate stumbles across a dead body, she finds herself in a real-life mystery that eerily echoes the plot of her latest novel.

崔世暻察覺到自己對假宋理巚的感情，除了默默地融入對方的生活，讓他完全習慣自己的存在外，甚至規劃好，等真的宋理巚回來後，自己要幫假宋理巚偽造新身分，兩人一起上大學。 但是，當洪在民為過去的霸凌行為付出代價，原以為事情就此落幕之際，金得八赫然發現以前待過的組織七星派被瓦解，成員不知所蹤，急著四處找人。他的反常行為引起崔世暻注意，不僅出手幫他逃過敵對黑幫的追捕，並堅持要協助他。 過程中，崔世暻突然領悟了一個瘋狂的假設，眼前的假宋理巚不是長得像另一個人或者有第二人格，而是身體裡有一個陌生的大叔靈魂？即便如此，崔世暻還是無法克制對假宋理巚的迷戀，冒著生命危險，陪他解決七星派的困境，更讓沒見到金得八最後一面的小弟們，用別的方式彌補遺憾。 當事件結束，就算未來可能會失去假宋理巚，崔世暻仍舊決定伸手摘下這顆遙不可及的星星，只因他愛的靈魂讓他引以為傲…… 「你這個……乳臭未乾的……小子！」 「我本來想忍耐的，但現在我不想忍了。」崔世暻做好了吞噬一切的準備，「我喜歡你。」 「什麼？」 「接受我。」崔世暻又再次吻了宋理巚。 ＝延伸閱讀＝ 愛生活◆愛閱讀◆愛創作 更多精采活動與新書訊息請關注： 愛呦文創粉絲團：https://www.facebook.com/iyao.book/ 「跟你在一起，我感覺找回了自己。」 窗外的行道樹綠意盎然，沐浴在夏日陽光中的崔世暻，與綠意融成一幅風景。 「所以，我喜歡你。」 ★ 改編韓劇大受好評！網評：看完影集更想看原著小說 原著小說韓國Yes24評價9.8分、RIDI評價4.6分 ★ 韓劇由《殭屍校園》尹燦榮、Golden Child宰鉉聯手主演，李瑞鎮客串演出！ ★ 面對年下攻的直球告白，直男大叔的反應是……要求見家長?! 讓人困擾的父親、貪婪的監護人、霸凌的同學、掛心的昔日小弟…… 現在再加一個向自己告白的好哥們，金得八的高中生活依然波濤洶湧 ★ 隨書好禮大方送： 第一重：隨書附贈精美留言卡 第二重：人氣繪師九月紫繪製「與你一起踩水踏浪」精美海報 第三重：封面有燙色的作者印簽，完美收藏
