◎A vivid account of how Blue, an adorable T-Rex, transcends species boundaries to fulfill his dream of becoming an investment banker.◎To blend into the financial world, Blue strives to adapt to its customs, offering humorous insights into workplace culture.◎Following a promotion, Blue begins to question the cycle of tedious meetings and late-night overtime, sparking a profound reflection on the true meaning of his dreams.This absurd tale follows a T-Rex’s journey from the jungle to the boardroom, creating a sharp contrast between primal nature and the stresses of contemporary finance. With a witty yet somber tone, it portrays the realities of corporate life—midnight oil, infinite meetings, and the drive for shareholder value—capturing the hollow exhaustion of making it to the top. More than just a parable, it is a meditation on the disillusionment that follows success, prompting readers to reconsider the price of ambition and what it means to truly live.◎代理經銷：白象文化更多精彩內容請見http://www.pre

In this stunning debut novel, a young Indian man comes to England determined to learn British law so he can use it to help the independence movement back home—but the insidiousness of colonialism as well as a sexual awakening get in his way.Shiv Advani is an eighteen-year-old growing up in India.

Even the youngest robotocists will love flipping the flaps to create their own robot--while exploring a simple A to Z roundup of robotics terms. Found your circuit-board head? Your voice-control torso? Your hydrojet feet? Hooray! You've made one of the 729 mix-and-match robots that are possible with this innovative flip-flap book. Alongside the bright and cheery illustrations of robot parts is a basic alphabetical listing of terms--from android to gears, neural network to program, wheels to Z-drive--and a basic definition of each. With a concealed spiral binding and sturdy card stock pages to hold up to enthusiastic flap-turning, AlphaBot is full of appeal for young robot lovers, preschoolers who love machines, and anyone looking for STEM books for the younger set. Back matter includes a brief explanation of the three key abilities of robots: to sense, think, and act.

For fans of Mercy Watson, old and new, comes a joyful crescendo of favourite characters in a picture-book celebration of the quiet miracles Christmastime brings.When Stella gets the sudden idea to go caroling, she has a little trouble getting someone to join her. Her brother, Frank, is not good at spontaneity. The Watsons are very involved in a precarious fruitcake attempt (but happy to send their pig, Mercy, out for the occasion). Eugenia Lincoln declines, a bit rudely, to accompany on her accordion, and Horace Broom is too busy studying planetary movement. Will Stella need to sing by herself – with enthusiastic contributions from the pig, the cat, and the horse she picks up on the way? Or does the evening hold a miracle Stella hadn’t expected? With tender affection for Mercy Watson and all her Deckawoo Drive friends, Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen offer a picture-book homage to the season that is perfectly suited for family sharing – perhaps with some cups of hot chocolate and a

This instant #1 internationally bestselling "explosive tell-all" (Daily Express, London) reveals the inside story about Meghan Markle's journey from minor actress and attempted activist to the woman powerful enough to drive a wedge within the British Royal Family. After a childhood spent on Hollywood film sets, Meghan Markle fought hard for stardom. But even when she landed her breakthrough role on Suits, her dream of worldwide celebrity remained elusive until she met the man who would change her life--Prince Harry. Their whirlwind romance culminated with Meghan's ultimate fairy tale ending: their 2018 wedding at Windsor Castle. Finally, the world was her stage. It seemed that the dizzying success of the wedding between the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex marked the beginning of a fresh era for the British Royal Family. Yet, within one tumultuous year, the dream became a nightmare. In the aftermath of the infamous Megxit split and their Oprah Winfrey interview, the increasingly toxic re
