'An acerbic, compelling and always accessible account of how opium corrupted the world' TLS'The writing is sublime, the research thorough, the eye for story superb' Sunday TelegraphWhen Amitav Ghosh began the research for his monumental cycle of novels the Ibis Trilogy, he was startled to find how the lives of the 19th century sailors and soldiers he wrote of were dictated not only by the currents of the Indian Ocean, but also by the precious commodity carried in enormous quantities on those currents: opium. Most surprising of all, however, was the discovery that his own identity and family history was swept up in the story.Smoke and Ashes is at once a travelogue, memoir and a history, drawing on decades of archival research. In it, Ghosh traces the transformative effect the opium trade had on Britain, India, and China, as well as the world at large.The trade was engineered by the British Empire, which exported Indian opium to sell to China and redress their great trade imbalance, and

Jemisin (John Green, New York Times). When global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s, California becomes full of dangers, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father, family, and neighbors, sheltered from the surrounding anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from hyperempathy, a debilitating sensitivity to others' emotions. Precocious and clear-eyed, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision

古典風格（Classic Style）是寫作風格的一種，由笛卡兒、拉羅什富科、帕斯卡等17世紀法國作家發明。這裡所說的寫作風格並非指語言文字或標點符號等外在的表達技巧，而是將寫作視為一種智力活動。 著名作家和認知科學家史蒂芬?平克這樣介紹古典風格：觀看世界是古典風格的主導隱喻。作者看到了讀者沒看到的東西，引導讀者的視線，使讀者自己發現它。寫作的目的是呈現不偏不倚的事實。當語言與事實一致時，寫作便成功了；成功的證據便是清楚和簡潔。 《古典風格》一書由三個部分組成：討論古典風格的原理等基礎層面的問題，列舉諸多以此風格創作的文字作品的經典段落，提供循序漸進的寫作練習和指導。古典風格適用於散文、論文、影評、社論、通訊、博客等多種文體的寫作。這本書非常適合想提升寫作力的人群，如學生、教師、職場人士等，以及以文字創作為生的寫作者，如新媒體編輯、營銷文案、記者、知識普及者、圖書作者等。

A witty celebration of the tiny tardigrade, a microscopic creature that looks like a bearLiving in a tiny house has one huge drawback--no space for pets. So when a little girl's parents announce that it's time for the family to simplify, downsizing from a huge home in the city to a tiny house in the woods, it's quite a blow--after all, she's grown quite fond of her pet poodles, cats, tarantula, snake, hedgehogs, mice, birds, fish, octopus, rabbits, pony, pig, and turtles. Fortunately, she finds them all good homes, and she has to admit that she enjoys her new simpler life. There's just one thing: She still really wants just one pet. At first the answer is no. But using a little scientific savvy, she finds one that could be just the right fit--how could anyone turn down a pet smaller than an ant's eye that doesn't need special food or toys or walking, and will always be small enough to squeeze into their home, no matter how much they dow
