Jarvis revisits his beloved, sometimes befuddled, duo in a fifth set of stories where gentle mix-ups and genuine friendship abound.Bear and Bird may not always understand each other, but they both want nothing more than for their best friend to be happy. So when they each find today’s date circled in red, they obviously assume it’s the other one’s birthday (so sorry, Snail!). And when Bird puts her pal through his paces—to prove he’s himself and not his look-alike cousin—she finds a sweet way to soothe an unhappy Bear when the test is done. Whether it’s Bird bravely helping Bear to retrieve a ball from a cave full of stinky goo (or so they’ve heard) or both of them putting their faith in a flying umbrella when Bird blithely removes the candy trail meant to lead them home, Jarvis’s subtle humor and sweet illustrations create a charming world that young readers are eager to come back to.

Is there ever such a thing as being too considerate? It's another comedy of errors in this fourth set of stories featuring Jarvis's lovable duo. "Bird, why are you blowing in my face?" said Bear."I'm just stretching my cheeks," said Bird. "Important to stretch your cheeks." Bear and Bird are the kind of friends who just want to make each other happy. So when Bird realizes Bear has had a leaf stuck to his face all day, she goes to comical extremes not to embarrass him--even if it means encouraging a new trend. And when they both grab the same excellent stick on a windy day, they outdo each other trying to give it back--until Bear comes up with a better use for their imagination. Whether following a hilariously--and touchingly--circular path on Swapsy Day or discovering there are as many times of day as there are things to do, Jarvis's classic pair fuses humor and heart in another quartet of adventures.

Jarvis's witty humor is on display as Bear and Bird, unlikely best friends, return in a second collection of tender, charmingly illustrated stories. "OK," said Bird. "I'll be on this rock. I promise I won't wander off. I'll stay on the rock."And she did. Even when it grew legs . . . and a little head.Bear and Bird are the best of friends, but yesterday they had a falling out. And although they can't quite remember why, each is sure that a new best friend is now in order. If Bear sends an anonymous letter floating down the river, will it be found by someone nice--someone with whom he has as much in common as he did with Bird? In this quartet of tales, the endearing duo is back to show that even friends who sometimes get their wires crossed can always be each other's best supporter--whether making plans to meet that go comically awry, baking hideously inedible surprise cakes, or savoring a starlit moment together (and getting carried away with wishes for just one more thing to make it pe

－羅柏．蘭登系列　第二部哈佛大學符號學教授羅柏．蘭登在巴黎出差期間，深夜中接到緊急電話：羅浮宮年邁的館長在館內被殺害，警方在屍體附近發現了一串令人費解的密碼。蘭登破解了這個謎題後，震驚地發現這個謎題指向了一系列隱藏在達文西作品中的線索……這些線索顯而易見，卻又被達文西巧妙地隱藏起來。蘭登與一位才華洋溢的法國密碼學家蘇菲．納佛聯手，發現已故的羅浮宮館長曾是錫安會成員。錫安會是一個真實存在的祕密社團，成員包括牛頓爵士、波提切利、雨果和達文西等人。羅浮宮館長為了守護數百年以來錫安會最神聖的祕密而獻出了自己的生命，這個祕密隱藏了極為重要的宗教聖物的下落。蘭登和納佛在巴黎、倫敦及其他各地，展開了一場驚心動魄的追逐，並與一位神祕莫測的幕後操縱者鬥智。這位幕後操縱者似乎效力於天主教組織「主業會」，這是一個梵蒂岡認可的祕密天主教教派，據聞，主業會長期以來一直密謀奪取錫安會的祕密。如果蘭登和納佛不能及時解開這個錯綜複雜的謎題，錫安會的祕密以及一個驚人的歷史真相，便將永遠消失。《達文西密碼》巧妙融合了驚險刺激的冒險、嚴謹的學術探討和犀利的智慧，塑造了符號學教授羅柏‧蘭登這個最具原創性的角色。這部史上最受注目的驚悚小說，節奏明快、構思精巧、情節跌宕起伏、引人入勝，結局更是出人意料。

基因編輯將會改變我們的未來，但我們準備好了嗎？ ◎繼《基因編輯大革命》之後，全面了解基因編輯的道德難題◎《表觀遺傳大革命》作者奈莎‧卡雷最新力作 從基因改造到基因編輯基因改造發展至今50年來，在農業上已經有相當大的應用，市面上也可以找到很多基因改造大豆、玉米等等產品。近年發現的CRISPR系統則提供了更準確的基因編輯工具，可以針對任意生物的單一基因做刪除和修改，效率更是有爆炸性的進步。除了針對農作物，這項技術甚至可以應用在醫學上，永久的修改人類的基因組成。 躍上焦點的CRISPR2018年，中國生物學家賀建奎透過基因編輯技術改造了一對雙胞胎的基因，並宣稱這一對雙胞胎未來會對愛滋病具有免疫力。這個事件引起了生物學界和國際社會的軒然大波，其中應用的 CRISPR 技術也躍上檯面成為新聞熱議的焦點。2020年，道納和夏本提爾因為發現了CRISPR系統而獲頒諾貝爾化學獎。但到底什麼是CRISPR？基因編輯又會對我們的生活帶來什麼樣的影響？ 我們是否真的準備好迎接這個改變人類的重要技術？如同2018年轟動一時的基因編輯雙胞胎，像這樣修改會一代一代流傳的基因是可以接受的嗎？誰又能決定哪些應用是可以接受的？《表觀遺傳大革命》作者奈莎‧卡雷將要在這本書中從原理、應用到未來的道德思辨帶我們全面探索基因編輯這個改變我們生活的重要技術。 學界推薦
