不賣命工作，就是懶惰？懶惰的究竟是不屈服於殖民資本主義的土著，還是一旁坐享其成的西方殖民侵略者？ 《懶惰土著的迷思》是已故馬來西亞社會學家及思想家賽胡先・阿拉塔斯討論去殖民東南亞研究和亞際研究的經典社會科學著作。該書探討16世紀至20世紀間，西方殖民者將殖民地土著視為懶惰民族的意識形態建構。在卡爾・曼海姆和知識社會學的基礎上，阿拉塔斯分析西方殖民者如何構建殖民地土著形象，以及這些迷思的塑造如何加強殖民意識形態和資本主義的運作邏輯。 這部發表於1977年的經典之作，旨在解構這個「懶惰土著的迷思（神話）」，並替這個形象除魅，是系統性批判殖民主義／歐洲中心主義知識的早期典範。用阿拉塔斯自己的話說，這本書的課題便是：「糾正單方面加諸於亞洲土著及其社會的殖民觀點⋯⋯對馬來西亞而言，這不僅僅是一則歷史研究習題：殖民時期的馬來人形象迫切需要被糾正，因為這個形象依然在部分有影響力的非馬來人當中發揮著巨大的作用，也影響了部分馬來知識分子。此形象只要繼續存在，就會損害民族融合的努力。這個形象也導致馬來人在就業上遭受一定程度的歧視：一些雇主避免聘用馬來人，因為他們認為馬來人懶惰。許多人也認為，馬來人天生不具備經商能力。這一切觀念都是源自於殖民時期的馬來人形象。」 本書的討論對象涵蓋馬來半島、菲律賓和印尼，超越現代民族國家界限和藩籬，思考群島（nusantara）共有的豐富多元文化、思想和傳統，以及這些文化如何在西方殖民者入侵後遭到扭曲。在殖民主義依舊魅影幢幢的現在，本書作為一本「去除殖民心靈」的經典，具有深刻的解放意義，歷史地回顧與批判殖民主義的來龍去脈，並檢視殖民統治賴以存在的前因後果。本書特色1. 1970年代吹響批判西方帝國／殖民主義號角的經典之作，為馬來西亞社會學家及思想家賽胡先・阿拉塔斯最重要著作的亞洲首次「無刪改」譯本。2. 特別收錄賽胡先・阿拉塔斯之子賽法立・阿拉塔斯為本書撰寫的中譯版序言。3. 挑戰西方帝國／殖民主義針對馬來世界具有剝削性的殖民資本主義意識形態。4. 對抗殖民主義論述，重建被殖民者自我形象與民族自信，看見被殖民者的真實面貌。共同推薦（依筆劃序）・王智明 ／中研院歐美所副研究員・王賡武 ／中研院院士、唐獎漢學獎得主・林建國 ／陽明交通大學外文系副教授・林開忠 ／暨南國際大學東南亞系副教授・高嘉謙 ／台灣大學中文系副教授・張錦忠 ／中山大學外文系副教授・

Incorporating the concepts of evolutionary floras, this second edition includes revised data on all main plant groups, the latest approaches to naming plant fossils using fossil-taxa and techniques such as tomography. With extensive illustrations of plant fossils and living plants, the book encourages readers to think of fossils as once-living organisms. It is written for students on introductory or intermediate courses in palaeobotany, palaeontology, plant evolutionary biology and plant science, and for amateurs interested in studyin

In his previous Schumpeter Prize-winning work, Lee analysed the 'middle-income trap', in which a developing country grows strongly only to plateau at a certain point. Yet certain developing countries, most significantly China, have managed to escape this trap. Building on the conception of the ladder from developing to developed countries being kicked way, this book suggests alternative ways, such as 'leapfrogging', in which latecomers can catch up with their forerunners. Providing policy solutions for development challenges in non-technical terms, Lee frames his theories with insightful and inventive allegories. In doing so, Lee also accounts for the catch-up paradox, in which one cannot conclusively catch-up if they are continually trying to follow the path of those ahead. He argues that eventual catch-up and overtaking require pursuing a path that differs from that taken by forerunners. This highly original and accessible book will appeal to students, scholars, practitioners, and an

本書延續《The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck》的犀利風格，作者 Mark Manson 以直白又充滿黑色幽默的筆調，探討在物質極大豐富的當下，為何我們仍陷於焦慮與無望之中。從心理學研究到哲學思辨，他剖析宗教與政治的相似之處，並檢視我們與金錢、娛樂、網路的複雜關係，指出「太多美好」反而可能侵蝕心理健康。這不是安慰性的勵志書，而是一次直面現實的思考之旅，提醒讀者重新定義希望與自由的意義。From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope. We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness. What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 20

From one of our preeminent neuroscientists: a landmark reflection that spans the biological and social sciences, offering a new way of understanding the origins of life, feeling, and culture. The Strange Order of Things is a pathbreaking investigation into homeostasis, the condition of that regulates human physiology within the range that makes possible not only the survival but also the flourishing of life. Antonio Damasio makes clear that we descend biologically, psychologically, and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; that our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular life and other primitive life-forms; and that inherent in our very chemistry is a powerful force, a striving toward life maintenance that governs life in all its guises, including the development of genes that help regulate and transmit life. In The Strange Order of Things, Damasio gives us a new way of comprehending the wo

A practical, dip-in guide, packed with over 100 outdoor activities for children.In an era when the iPad is often more appealing than the park, it can be difficult to encourage kids to get off the couch and spend time outside. In this inspirational book, with ideas for children of all ages, there are over 100 imaginative ways for children to keep busy and have fun outdoors. They can enjoy outdoor crafts such as making leaf art bunting, a dream catcher, or their own toy raft, or get physical and burn off some energy with beach hopscotch, animal tracking, and developing their hunting and gathering skills. Or perhaps they would like to relax and enjoy some star-gazing or pond-dipping instead. There are fun activities to help kids get up close and personal with nature by making a wormery and a bug attractor, doing some investigative ant experiments, and putting on their own gastropod race! The book includes handy reference pics to help children identify plants, flowers, and wildlife, so as
