One Step Back

A slender novel of epic power, Orbital deftly snapshots one day in the lives of six women and men hurtling through space--not towards the moon or the vast unknown, but around our planet. Selected for one of the last space station missions of its kind before the program is dismantled, these astronauts and cosmonauts--from America, Russia, Italy, Britain, and Japan--have left their lives behind to travel at a speed of over seventeen thousand miles an hour as the earth reels below. We glimpse moments of their earthly lives through brief communications with family, their photos and talismans; we watch them whip up dehydrated meals, float in gravity-free sleep, and exercise in regimented routines to prevent atrophying muscles; we witness them form bonds that will stand between them and utter solitude. Most of all, we are with them as they behold and record their silent blue planet. Their experiences of sixteen sunrises and sunsets and the bright, blinking constellations of the galaxy are at

Most histories of Hong Kong begin with the arrival of the British, and only incidentally mention the precolonial eras. In this book, Patrick Hase, one of the leaders in the field, provides an important addition to the history of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region, covering topics such as Chinese ethnicity, commerce, port-towns, and squatting. It is a truly excellent work that will interest historians, anthropologists, and social scientists.—James L. WatsonFairbank Professor of Chinese Society and Anthropology Emeritus,Harvard UniversityThis book, an historical and archaeological portrayal of Hong Kong market villages across the territory, depicts how Hong Kong evolved not through chronicles of emperors and governors but through the ups and downs of different centres of rural life over the centuries. It belongs beyond the bookshelves of historians and archaeologists—anyone wandering the streets of Hong Kong neighbourhoods today wondering “how did this place get to be here?” wil

咖啡學院的第一堂課：手沖咖啡Step by Step圖解咖啡萃取參數詳細介紹手沖咖啡相關知識和技巧 本書旨在盡可能以簡單易懂的方式，介紹任何人都能在家沖煮出好喝咖啡的技巧。 第一步要學習的是咖啡萃取參數。咖啡萃取參數中有四個要素：咖啡豆研磨度、粉水比、水溫、注水。咖啡豆研磨度影響了咖啡的風味，粗研磨時不易溶出咖啡成分，使得風味清淡，細研磨時容易溶出成分，就會讓風味濃烈。粉水比是最容易掌握的要素，只要遵守比例、準確秤量，咖啡味道就不會難以入口。水溫和豆子烘焙度相關聯，不同烘焙度適合的水溫也就不同，淺焙豆使用的水溫稍高，深焙豆則需使用較低的水溫來沖煮。注水的水柱大小、高度、角度等都有最佳方式，配合會影響流速的各種濾杯，讓風味產生萬千變化。 接著，以基本萃取參數為基準，藉由沖煮法、選豆以及使用器材等要素的組合，就能無限地改變風味，這是咖啡的有趣之處，亦是手沖咖啡的樂趣所在。 此外，配豆原則、味覺鍛鍊、風味描述以及甜點搭配等，還有許多有趣的內容。請試著運用本書中介紹的各種萃取參數、技巧和器材等，遇見那杯對自己來說真正美味的一杯好喝的咖啡吧！◎讀者好評推薦1.原本覺得手沖咖啡很困難，但作者詳盡的說明，讓人容易閱讀，也很好理解。2.內容讓人覺得有教育意義，是喜歡手沖咖啡味道的人，一定要看的書。3.讓我了解了許多手沖咖啡的方法及操作重點，很實用。4.很多人都想喝美味的咖啡。然而，許多人並不知道如何自己製作美味的咖啡，所以會依賴咖啡機。我也是這樣，所以我看了幾本關於如何煮咖啡的書，選擇了這本。在這本書中，咖啡大賽冠軍將以簡單易懂的方式教你如何製作美味的咖啡。基本上，它採用的是濾紙手沖法，所以任何人都可以輕鬆完成。書中有許多照片和插圖，對水溫、倒水量、倒水間隔(秒)都非常具體，所以可以立即嘗試。也介紹了各種咖啡設備，很有幫助。想出喝更美味咖啡的方法變得很有趣。

Stunning artwork from the acclaimed illustrator of The Midnight Fair illuminates a sweet cautionary tale about a rabbit whose fabled soup-making gets away from him. Mr. Lepron is a rabbit who lives in a cozy burrow with many offspring. Every year on the first day of autumn, he reaps vegetables from the farmer's garden--carrots, onions, celery, beans, aromatic herbs, and much more--and makes the best soup on earth, adored by his family. As it simmers, he dozes and dreams of being a famous cook, hosted by kings. And sure enough, his soup is so good that it starts drawing creatures from all over--until one day a factory springs up in the woods, with Mr. Lepron presiding day and night and soup cans for sale in all the most renowned shops.

How can he recapture the joy he once shared with his family? Mariachiara Di Giorg
