A brief stay in France was, for many Chinese workers and Chinese Communist Party leaders, a vital stepping stone for their careers during the cultural and political push to modernize China after World War I. For the Chinese students who went abroad specifically to study Western art and literature, these trips meant something else entirely. Set against the backdrop of interwar Paris, Paris and the Art of Transposition uncovers previously marginalized archives to reveal the artistic strategies employed by Chinese artists and writers in the early twentieth-century transnational imaginary and to explain why Paris played such a central role in the global reception of modern Chinese literature and art.While previous studies of Chinese modernism have focused on how Western modernist aesthetics were adapted or translated to the Chinese context, Angie Chau does the opposite by turning to Paris in the Chinese imaginary and discussing the literary and visual artwork of five artists who moved betw

本書探討中西方前瞻思考人類該如何與自然環境相處，也是環境學者推動以「自然解方」解決人類發展造成環境問題的反思，是本值得大家一起探索思考的好書，推薦給大家！――國土管理署署長 吳欣修金恒鑣、吳欣修、劉宗勇、邱仁杰、王文誠、王懋雯、何立德、何昕家、林俊全、林素華、許民陽、許玲玉、許毅璿、郭育任、張子超、張育傑、陶翼煌、曾鈺琪、雷鴻飛、劉思岑、劉瑩三、蔡慧敏、、聯合推薦自然保育的思惟和環境行為，以及兩者間的互動，一直是保育學者關懷的重要課題。面對現今環境保育所發生的問題，如何以倫理學系統性地思考和研究，關於道德觀念方面的問題，像是善與惡、對與錯（right and wrong）、美德與惡行（vice），以及「正義與罪行」一類的概念，都是本書所要探討的內涵。全書共七章，依據符號學和詮釋學，以及皮耶．布迪厄（Pierre Bourdieu, 1930－2002）的「場域學說」與「慣習理論」，進行分析。包括第一章〈緒論〉，論述「自然之道」的西方科學理論架構。第二章〈哲學與道德思惟〉，依據環境教育之本，探討及分析東西方環境思想、環境道德的演進。第三章〈傳統的自然之道〉，論述傳統中國的宇宙觀、天人觀。第四章〈傳統的文藝和園林〉。第五章〈思惟的科學取徑〉，希望從史學、地理學與社會學不同觀點，說明環境素養和行為內涵。第六章〈傳播和美學的人文脈絡〉。第七章〈邁向永續發展的倫理觀〉。面對永續發展的現今世紀，筆者希望炎黃世系後代子孫更為美好，以邁向永續發展的未來新紀元。

直到此刻，南蘇丹人們仍在國家內部衝突下，無所安居在這個盛產石油的國家，武裝暴力沒有絕跡，多數人仍生活在貧窮線之下。◆ 誠品十二月選書◆ 城邦讀書花園十二月選書蘇丹南部是世界上最邊緣、未開發的區域之一。半個多世紀以來，內戰使這個區域陷入恐懼與死亡的陰影，超過200萬人在蘇丹內戰中失去性命。已逝的蘇丹前副總統、「南蘇丹國父」約翰加朗（John Garang，1945-2005）曾這樣質問南蘇丹人：「你想成為自己國家的二等公民嗎？」。2011年的獨立公投中，南蘇丹人以超過98%的贊成，提交他們的答案。作者查克．威爾汀（Zach Vertin）於2009年至2017年間，在蘇丹生活、工作以及旅行，見證南蘇丹的獨立，以及接踵而來的衝突與混亂。此外，維汀於2013年至2016年間擔任美國國務院蘇丹和南蘇丹問題辦公室政策主任，與交戰各方的領導人、國際的調解者往來密切，讓札克掌握豐富的第一手資料。此外，維汀在南蘇丹的人際網絡，也提供他多元的見解。反思戰爭在政治中扮演的角色，政治理論家對此的提問是「戰爭是否預示著政治秩序的崩潰，還是形成一個國家甚至是維持國家的核心要素？」維汀藉由南蘇丹的例子回應，認為暴力並不意味既定秩序的瓦解，反而是為了奪取仍未定奪的獨立實體而戰。除此之外，對於南蘇丹不穩定的共同體狀態，維汀從政治經濟、國族認同、國際勢力（如美國的外交政策）等多方角度切入，其見解直入核心。這本書將挑戰我們對全球政治的視野。將鏡頭貼近參與南蘇丹歷史的重要人物身邊，《苦土之囚》用文字打造一個關於希望、夢想、許諾與殞落的史詩。維汀描繪南蘇丹的獨立，以及在一段蜜月期後，南蘇丹的「解放英雄」們扣起板機，讓他們的新國家重新陷入戰爭的故事。相較於晦澀拗口的學術文字，維汀的文筆以及對人的描繪，使這本書讀起來更像是令人無奈的故事。這本書講述了世界上最為忽視的領土中的權力、許諾、貪婪、憐憫、暴力以及救贖，也講述美國在全球政治局勢上所展現的力量。維汀豐富的經歷將在地與全球的敘事織成一塊，使得本書不僅能帶領讀者一窺南蘇丹的政治發展、了解美國政府在其中所扮演的角色，更能貼近平民百姓的生活以及血淚故事。國內一致推薦：李易安｜記者、作家戴裕霖｜駐非醫療團醫師、作家辛翠玲｜中山大學政治經濟學系教授國外媒體、政治人物熱情推薦：「南蘇丹的悲劇仍在開展，連外交政策專家都所知有限。查克．威爾汀是稀有例外。對這個眾人為其犧牲

Can we ever go home again? This question lies at the heart of Homecomings by Wong Yoon Wah, a veteran Singaporean poet and a prominent voice in global Chinese literature.In these poems, Wong delves into his country’s precolonial and colonial history, the natural heritage of the rainforest, his memories of his kampung hometown, his heartbreak at the closure of Nanyang University, and the global traumas of European colonisation and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.He expresses the loneliness and dislocation of the Chinese diaspora, as well as the sorrow of his generation as so many of their cultural touchstones are destroyed in the name of progress. At the same time, he embraces a planetary mode of thinking, sensing rapport with fellow humans from distant cultures and geographies, identifying even with the plants and animals that compose our ecosystem.Filled with nostalgia, bitter irony and strange beauty, Homecomings is a love letter to the past, revisiting its glories, making peace with t

生活無時無刻充滿變化，說不出口的不安，讓身心疲累缺氧，找回你需要的安全感，讓平靜與信賴保護你，安定身體與心靈，是健康與幸福的開端。------------------------------------《多重迷走神經．找回安全感與身心治癒的全新途徑》震撼醫學界的心理臨床醫療新觀點認識「多重迷走神經」的必讀入門書★醫學臨床醫師、心理諮商師、社工人員應該讀的書★★了解創傷、焦慮等心理問題的基礎法門★★為創傷倖存者、照護者、臨床醫師提供具體療癒方向★當《多重迷走神經．找回安全感與身心治癒的全新途徑》於2011年出版時，它席捲了整個醫學界與治療界，將史蒂芬．W．波吉斯關於自律神經系統的見解，分享給了有興趣了解創傷、焦慮、憂鬱和其他心理健康問題的大眾。這本書讓臨床醫生和其他專業人士能夠接觸並理解多迷走神經的觀點，為理解人類行為提供了新的概念和見解。該觀點強調心理體驗與身體生理表現之間的重要聯繫。什麼是「多重迷走神經論」？這是史蒂芬．W．波吉斯以達爾文演化論為基礎，再加上多年科學研究的佐證，於1994年所提出的理論。這個理論認為個體會依據周遭環境安全與危險不同層度的覺知（稱為「神經覺 neuroception」），來啟動不同層次的自律神經系統，做為相對應的反應。也就是利用迷走神經的感覺及動作神經分枝，來啟動社會互動系統功能，達到調節自主神經中副交感神經的活化，降低焦慮、害怕、退縮的行為，也增進溝通能力。指導臨床創傷治療最重要和最全面的地圖這部具有里程碑意義的著作，將史蒂芬．W．波吉斯的「多重迷走神經論」做了全面的說解與分析，解釋了安全和互動是如何在生物學上編碼的，從而定義了我們的生活質量。「多重迷走神經論」一經公布提出，立即震撼了醫學界。以前我們認為感覺失調所形成的行為表現，是因為大腦在各種感官的統合過程發生問題。因此，以醫師的角度來看，會從「認知層面」來切入，也就是先從檢查大腦著手。但根據波吉斯所提出的「多重迷走神經論」可以發現，如果反過來先從「修復感覺失調」開始，或許就能改善因感覺失調所帶來的一連串問題。也因為此理論的提出，之後的臨床治療模式發生了莫大變化，許多專業醫師或專家依據波吉斯的「多重迷走神經論」，針對創傷、壓力、情緒、疼痛、身體疾病等發展出各種療法，包括各類肢體運動、神經元的訓練、身體經驗創傷療法、感覺動作心理治療、安定舒適整合療法等。當然，波吉斯在書中也有具體的
