When rescuers meet the boat, there are only two people left―a big child and a little one. The big one, remembering the trip across the dark sea, hides indoors. The little one ventures out, making friends, laughing, growing strong. When he brings the outside in, in the form of a butterfly, will his sister find the courage to guide the winged creature back into the world where it belongs? Powerful illustrations dance between dark and light in a moving tale of empathy, resilience, and the universal need for home and safety.

he Genera of Orchidaceae in Hong Kong is a handy reference for both amateurs and professional botanists in Asia who wish to enter the field of modern orchidology. Orchid appreciation is an art deeply rooted in Asian cultures. But in 1977, when this book was first published, orchidology as a science was new to people there. The technical vocabulary was unfamiliar and the subject matter difficult to understand. Therefore, this volume was intended as a general, easy-to-use reference book, with illustrations of the basic structure of orchids and their habit and habitat clearly described in Chapter I.The book may also be used as a self-help guide for naturalists and gardeners in Hong Kong who wish to identify an orchid new to them. In Chapter II, keys, descriptions, and illustrations are given to allow the reader to look up and gain information about individual orchid species. Chapter III provides an analysis of the composition and an interpretation of the phytogeographic significance of th

原著序(Preface)在我就讀醫學系第三年的春天以前，我從未聽過急診醫學這個專科；我連「急診室」(ernergency room, ER)在我們這個醫學中心的哪個地方都不知道，也不曉得原來我們有個急診醫學(emergency medicine, EM)／內科醫學(internal medicine, IM)合併的住院醫師訓練計畫。顯然他們對於這個計畫沒有在醫學生之間多做宣傳。直到有一天，在我醫學系的最後一年前不久，有個EM/IM的住院醫師鼓勵並說服我在接下來的行程中擠出一點時間選修急診醫學。接著的幾個月內我開始了急診住院醫師訓練，並對這門專科深深地著迷。1979年9月21號，在我輪到急診的三個禮拜後，急診醫學正式成為美國公認的第二十三個專科。也是啦！我已經那麼老了和我的專科一樣老。我在準備急診專科考試時是用The Study Guide這本書。它寫得很好、方便閱讀且相較於這本《急診醫學隨身手冊》第八版—衍生自Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide—簡短多了。能與Tintinalli醫師合作，並對於以她為名的教科書及手冊貢獻一份心力，實在是我莫大的榮幸。 相較於Tintinalli第一版的Study Guide只由單一作者完成，這本手冊集結了來自全球的作者共同創作，包括來自數個急診醫學正在興起的非洲國家。第八版包含「緩和醫療」的章節，目前是急診醫學中的一個次專科，但在1979年間應該完全沒有人想到這個次專科有朝一日會被納入急診當中。我們正陸續將本書以多種語言於世界各地出版，希望本書及其電子書（可於accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com取得）可繼續滿足醫學生、住院醫師、專業醫療從業人員以及急診醫師每天的需求。共同作者Michael T. Fitch、Scott Joing、Vincent Wang、David M. Cline、O. John Ma以及本人冀望致謝所有的作者，他們除了要維持忙碌的臨床業務外，仍致力於完成並更新每個章節的內容，他們卓越的工作讓我們由衷的感謝。我們同樣感謝McGraw Hill Education團隊提供的指導，包括Brian Belval、Christie Naglieri、Jessica Gonzalez、Ju

"Clever...beguiling....Readers age 11 and older are likely to finish this book feeling both persuaded and uplifted.

The World’s Most Pointless Animals is a witty, quirky, colourfully illustrated book featuring fascinating facts about some very silly animals … who we find are perhaps not so pointless after all. From familiar animals like giraffes (who don’t have any vocal cords) through to those that surely should not even exist, such as the pink fairy armadillo (absurdly huge front claws, super tough protective shell in baby pink, particularly susceptible to stress), our planet is full of some pretty weird and wonderful animals. For example: Koalas spend up to 18 hours a day asleep! Pandas are born bright pink, deaf and blind.Dumbo octopuses flap their big fin-like ears to move around. A Narwhal’s tusk grows through its upper lip – ouch! With hilarious text throughout and bright, contemporary illustrations, this guide to absurdly awesome animals contains funny labelled diagrams and some excellent made-up Latin names (n.b. the jellyfish’s scientific name is not actually wibblious wobblious ouchii).Ca

Since then, mathematics has been unstoppable.

Pluses and Minuses demonstrates the role mathematics plays in human endeavour. It answers questions such as: What is life without numbers? Is the usefulness of mathematics mere chance? How can we get a grip on uncertainty? Stefan Buijsman's richly entertaining guide makes connections between philosophy, psychology and history, while explaining the wonderful world of mathematics for absolutely everyone.Born in 1995, Stefan gained a master's degree in philosophy in Leiden at the age of eighteen, after which he moved from Sweden to work on a PhD.

I Am A Diamond," is a book that waswritten with the goal of inspiring people to be their best selves and push them to find their God-given purpose in their life. Just as a diamond's worth is classified by the 4 C's color, cut, clarity and carat.
