Now in translation for the first time, the award-winning debut that broke literary ground in Japan explores diaspora, prejudice, and the complexities of a teen girl’s experience growing up as a Zainichi Korean, reminiscent of Min Jin Lee's classic Pachinko and Sandra Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street.Seventeen-year-old Ginny Park is about to get expelled from high school―again. Stephanie, the picture book author who took Ginny into her Oregon home after she was kicked out of school in Hawaii, isn’t upset: she only wants to know why.

Ginny sets off alone on the road in search of an answer, with only her journal as a confidante. In witty and brutally honest vignettes,

We like to think we understand what’s happening around us; that we can determine the path our life takes. But often, things don’t go that way – in fact, they rarely do. What helps us respond to life as it unfolds? To live freely, stay humble and find comfort in difficult times? Is it possible to silence our inner critic, and learn to become a friend to ourselves? In the Swedish sensation I May Be Wrong, former forest monk Björn Natthiko Lindeblad shows how letting go of our need for control is about finding the courage to face the uncertainty that is a natural part of life. We don’t choose our thoughts. We don’t control the shape they take, or what pops into our minds. We can only choose whether or not to believe them. Infusing the eve

It's Dilla Time. Finally. Dilla Time is the story of the invention of a new kind of time, a new kind of sound. by the most influential music producer of the last 25 years, someone you may never heard of: J. Dilla. He's revered by rappers and producers from Kanye to Kendrick Lamar, and he worked with the likes of Michael and Janet Jackson--but Dilla himself never rose to mainstream fame, despite revolutionizing the way music sounds before his untimely death at the age of 32. . In Dilla Time, Dan Charnas chronicles the life of J. Dilla, from his gifted childhood in Detroit, to the rare medical condition that caused his tragically premature death. He also records the histories of American rhythms: from the birth of funk and soul in Dilla's own Motown, to techno and disco. Here, music is a story of Black culture in America and of what happens when human and machine times are synthesized into something totally new. With the help of analysis by musicologist Jeff Peretz, Charnas teaches us to

打破400年來醫界對疼痛的片面理解完整傳授連醫學院也沒告訴醫師的疼痛管理新方法全人角度多管齊下，幫你找回無痛生活那些殺不死你的，只會令你更抓狂！吃藥沒有效、成因找不到，為什麼慢性疼痛治不好？你不知道的是，疼痛，比你想得更複雜……「決定成敗的，不是目標，而是系統。」──詹姆斯‧克利爾，《原子習慣》作者▍實踐出真知，英國疼痛醫學權威的解痛新招！據統計，全世界逾15億人患有無法診斷的疼痛，終日為慢性疼痛所苦。由世界衛生組織頒行、2022年正式生效的《國際疾病分類第十一版》（ICD-11），首次將慢性疼痛獨立視為一種症狀，顯見其已成為不容忽視的全球健康問題。擁有20年疼痛醫療臨床經驗的拉文德蘭醫師，將他的專業轉化為這本開創性的指南。他在書中指出，每個人的疼痛症狀都是獨特且個人化的，需要以整體、全面的方式看待慢性疼痛，並將心理健康與身體健康同時考慮在內。他提供了7大方法多管齊下的方式，幫助讀者有效克服慢性疼痛問題：☆藥物Medication☆介入措施Intervention☆神經科學與壓力管理Neuroscience and stress management☆飲食／營養Diet/nutrition☆睡眠Sleep☆運動與動作Exercise and movement☆身心療法Therapies of the mind and body▍英美高達96%的醫學院，沒有疼痛專門必修課程！根據紐西蘭公衛學者研究，全球各大洲383所醫學院，在歐洲有近80%、英美高達96%的醫學院，沒有疼痛相關的專門必修課程；許多學校傳授給醫學生的疼痛觀念，仍停留在數十年前的研究結果，延續著400年前笛卡兒時代所流傳下來的疼痛迷思，以為疼痛必然出於某個身體結構的問題，而疼痛的信號會沿著預定的痛覺神經傳到大腦，由腦部某一區域來做處理。於是乎，傳統上對於疼痛的處理方式，就只剩下阻斷神經訊號的藥物，以及無止盡的手術（介入措施）。最新研究已經指出，疼痛訊號的傳遞並非經由單一路徑，大腦中許多部位也都會參與痛覺的處理；很多時候，疼痛也並非是身體結構的問題。面對難纏的慢性疼痛，我們不能再頭痛醫頭、腳痛醫腳，而是需要一套新的觀念、新的方法。▍寫給每一個「痛痛人」的疼痛管理完全指南！本書挑戰了現代醫學的當前方法與傳統的身心二元思維，帶給讀者手術與鴉片類止痛藥物以外的替代方案，以及可幫助每位慢性疼痛患者發展「無痛思維」的
