Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain development and trauma expert, Dr. Bruce Perry, discuss the impact of trauma and adversity and how healing must begin with a shift to asking, “what happened to you?” rather than “what’s wrong with you?”Through deeply personal conversation, Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Perry explore how what happens to us in early childhood influences the people we become. They challenge us to shift from focusing on, “What’s wrong with you?” or “Why are you behaving that way?,” to asking, “What happened to you?”Many of us experience adversity that has lasting impact on our physical and emotional health. ‘What happened to us’ in childhood is a powerful predictor of our risk for health problems down the road, and offers scientific insights in to the patterns of behaviors so many struggle to understand.Here, Winfrey shares stories from her own past, understanding through experience the vulnerability that comes from facing trauma at a young age. Joining forces with Dr. Perry, one o

★★★榮獲素有IT書籍奧斯卡金像獎之稱的第13屆Jolt獎★★★ ✎與一群專家級貢獻者David Rice、Matthew Foemmel、Edward Hieatt、Robert Mee以及Randy Stafford共同合作，Martin Fowler之必讀經典✎ [名家名著] 25 Martin Fowler的企業級軟體架構模式 Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture 陳傳興、張立顗　翻譯✍ 黃忠成　審校✍ 陳仕傑(91)　專文推薦✍ 企業級軟體開發的實踐因許多新技術的出現而受惠。物件導向程式語言（如Java和.NET）與新工具和新技術的日趨普及，讓我們有能力建置更穩固與強健的應用程式，但它們並不容易實作。開發人員在企業級應用程式中總是會面臨相同的困境、遭遇同樣的難題，因為他們尚未充分領會到資深前輩們的架構經驗和失敗教訓。 本書介紹的，正是企業級軟體開發人員所面臨的種種嚴峻挑戰。企業級應用程式（如預約系統、供應鏈程式、金融系統等等）的挑戰是獨特的，與桌上型電腦系統和嵌入式系統同行所面臨的挑戰截然不同。因此，企業級開發人員往往必須自行挖掘解決方案。 本書作者Martin Fowler是全球知名的物件導向大師、軟體重構教父，他發現，儘管技術發生了變化──從Smalltalk到CORBA，再到Java與.NET──相同的基本設計概念仍然可以調整並應用來解決這些常見的問題。在一群專家級貢獻者的幫助下，Martin將40多種重複出現的解決方案淬鍊成為模式，並提供完整的脈絡，讓讀者能夠在面對困難的設計決策時做出正確的選擇，最終寫成這本不可或缺的解決方案手冊，它適用於任何的企業級軟體平台。 本書實際上是兩本書合二為一。第一個部分是開發企業級應用程式的簡單教學，讀者可以從頭到尾閱讀，以熟悉本書的範圍及章節安排。第二個部分則是本書的主軸，是關於模式本身的參考手冊，Martin為每一個模式都提供了用法和實作資訊，並搭配Java或C#程式碼的詳細範例。書中還利用豐富的UML圖形來進一步解釋這些概念。 你將從本書學會： ・將企業級應用程式劃分為多個分層 ・組織商業邏輯的主要方法 ・深入處理物件與關聯式資料庫之間的對應 ・使用MVC模式來組織Web的呈現 ・處理跨越多個交易的資料的並行問題 ・設計分散式物件介面 ・來自David

Spiritual writer and founder of Rising Woman, Sheleana Aiyana takes you on a transformational inner-work journey to heal life-long relationship pattens and reclaim power over your life.Romantic relationships have the ability to infuse our lives with the magic of intimacy and connection. But for many of us, that magic is fleeting―over and over, our relationships don't last, or if they do, they fail to make us happy. We find ourselves chasing unavailable love, sublimating our needs in service to others, or trying to save our partners from themselves, all the while abandoning the one who needs us most―ourselves.If you find yourself struggling to let go after a relationship ends, or you keep hitting the same wall in dating and relationships with emotionally unavailable people, this is not a sign that you are broken. It is a sign that somewhere along the way, you learned to sacrifice yourself in order to be loved. In Becoming the One, spiritual leader and visionary founder of the Rising Wom

Tracing almost 200 years of history, Explaining Tort and Crime explains the development of tort law and criminal law in England compared with other legal systems. Referencing legal systems from around the globe, it uses innovative comparative and historical methods to identify patterns of legal development, to investigate the English law of fault doctrine across tort and crime, and to chart and explain three procedural interfaces: criminal powers to compensate, timing rules to control parallel actions, and convictions as evidence in later civil cases. Matthew Dyson draws on decades of research to offer an analysis of the field, examining patterns of legal development, visible as motifs in the law of many legal systems.

The Changing Organization provides a multidisciplinary approach for studying the management of change under conditions of complexity. Single-discipline approaches frequently miss essential elements that reduce the possibility of coherence within a multi-agency organizational setting. Combining a systems and cybernetic 'living system' perspective, Guo, Yolles, Fink, and Iles offer a new agency paradigm designed to model, diagnose and analyse complex, real-world situations. Its capacity to anticipate patterns of behaviour provides useful means by which the origin of crises can be understood, and resolutions reflected upon. Scholars and graduate students in fields as diverse as management, politics, anthropology and psychology will find numerous applications for this book when considering socio-political and organizational change, and it offers an invaluable guide for consultants who may wish to apply advanced techniques of contextual analysis to real-world situations.
