為什麼麋鹿從不迷路我們住在一個街道上滿是標誌和箭頭的世界。只要點一下電腦滑鼠，便能找到地球上幾乎任何地點的確實方位，而且掌上型衛星定位系統更讓我們可以精準地判斷所處位置的經度和緯度。儘管科技如此發達，我們還是會在購物中心裡頭迷路，找不到去朋友家的路，露營探險的時候還會走錯路，犯下攸關生死的錯誤。 反觀許多其他物種卻具備與生俱來的方向感：螞蟻展現出驚人的導航本能，就算距離再遠也不會走錯路。定期移棲

這是一個非凡而真實的，關於瑪雅文明再發現的故事：繼《迷失Z城》和《冰凍帝國》之後，我們又迎來了一段被人遺忘的探險史。 1839年，美國駐中美洲特使約翰o斯蒂芬斯與享有盛譽的英國建築師兼繪圖員弗雷德里o卡瑟伍德出發前往無人涉足的尤卡坦叢林。當時，《聖經》是歷史的範本，許多人仍然相信世界文明存在不過6 000年。深入叢林後，斯蒂芬斯和卡瑟伍德克服了疾病、戰爭、自然和地形的困難，發現並且一絲不苟地記錄了

★Amazon編輯精選‧暢銷TOP1★「沒有哪個基金經理人替客戶賺的錢比他還多。」他，是最自律、狂妄又偏執的債券天王比爾‧葛洛斯（Bill Gross）；他，曾坐擁40餘年打敗大盤的不敗績效，甚至在2008年的金融海嘯，為旗下千億美元資產創造驚人的2.5％報酬率；他，三度贏得晨星「年度固定收益經理人」甚至「十年最佳固定收益經理人」；從1990年代初，這個名字就開始紅遍華爾街，成為《富比士》（Forbes）最具影響力的25位美國企業界人士之一，自律、狂妄又偏執的他，如何從200美元起家的拉斯維加斯賭徒，將美國金融市場變成他最大的賭場，寫下無可匹敵的歷史地位，最終又黯然離開王者寶座？‧打造結構性超額報酬，讓可獲利的交易變得可以複製他創造各種獨門交易方法，構成所謂的「結構性超額報酬」（Structural Alpha），從市場中榨取高於市場本身反彈的獲利，而這套結構性方法乃是可複製、可持續的做法，畢竟每個經理人難免會預測失準、選錯工具，這樣的結構性交易能讓經理人創造職涯與績效巔峰，從其他人之中脫穎而出。‧善於預測，更善於與未來反向操作「葛洛斯大致上都是順勢而為，但是他擁有獨一無二的能力，知道什麼時候應該逆勢而行，反向操作。」品浩前合夥人班恩．托洛斯基（Ben Trosky）說。葛洛斯善於做出重大的反向預測，而且幾乎相當準確。他會進行長期思考，避免恐懼與貪婪的情緒毀了一切；他能感知風險，知道什麼時候該追隨群眾，什麼時候又該迎頭衝撞群眾。‧對失敗焦慮，不成長就死亡「人們很難長期保持巔峰狀態，很少人長久留在高峰。」數十年來，他努力突破限制、創造發明、持續不懈地前進，不能容忍無法創造報酬率，讓競爭對手始終望塵莫及，急於模仿與追隨。只要他掌握正確的要素，處在正確的環境，就能控制政府的命運、影響市場和政客照他的意願行事，這是多麼鼓舞人心！從每天在拉斯維加斯賭場坐上十六小時的賭徒，到在金融界呼風喚雨的一代梟雄；從無數投資人追隨的獲利金童，到預測逐漸失準而從一手創立的品浩（PIMCO）黯然跳槽；本書將透視他的為人、思想、投資哲學與傳奇人生。

被譽為「歷史文物界福爾摩斯」的奈森．拉伯，是美國傑出的稀有文物經銷商，透過本書，他要述說自己成為「歷史獵人」的學習與養成，以及追尋那些珍貴發現與探究真偽的故事。每一天都有來自世界各地的人試著聯繫奈森．拉伯，請他協助了解自己手頭上擁有的是什麼、可能價值多少，以及如何出售。他是知名的歷史文物經銷商，也是個現代尋寶家。多數時間裡，奈森．拉伯都在周遊全美、參加拍賣會，或者接洽那些自認在老家閣樓上發現了值得注意事物的人，電話、電子郵件從不間斷。透過這本書，拉伯帶領讀者進行了一趟瘋狂的巡狩，並巧妙地打開了無數隱藏的歷史裂縫：發現英國官員守護住羅塞塔石碑的信件、愛迪生鋪設的第一條電纜、一封修復眼淚之路的殘缺短箋、空軍一號丟失的錄音副本等。這是否是拿破崙死亡的第一份報告？這是否是愛因斯坦寫給好奇士兵的未公開信件？拉伯發現的每份文件與物品都有著引人入勝的故事，並且為我們自以為熟悉的生活提供了新的見解。────我在搜尋歷史，搜索過去的遺物，尋找歷史文件與物品，我追尋重要的、甚至是無價的東西，所謂的無價不僅是價格，而且是具有重要的意義。──奈森．拉伯

當全球父母都忙著向西方文化取經，卻忽視了原始文化所蘊藏的強大智慧。原來最值得借鏡的育兒之道，早已存在逾千年！ 擺脫「不是大人掌權，就是小孩當家」的失衡狀態，讓所有家長腦洞大開的新型態教養之道。 跟著馬雅（Maya）、因努特（Inuit）、哈札比人（Hadzabe）學教養，從此不用再打罵、責罰、當虎爸虎媽，育兒也可以這麼輕鬆優雅！ ★ 美國Amazon兒童研究社會科學分類榜NO.1，逾八成讀者5星讚譽！★《紐約時報》、《出版者周刊》、《今日美國》暢銷書！★ 掀起全球熱議旋風，19國爭相搶譯！★ 進化生物學、心理學、神經科學領域實證支持。***2019年，麥克蓮・杜克萊夫所著的《因努伊特人如何教孩子控制脾氣》（How Inuit Parents Teach Kids To Control Their Anger）一文，於全國公共廣播電臺網站刊出後，激起廣大的迴響。家長們都在好奇，為何這些來自世界各地的古老社群，可以輕輕鬆鬆就教出自律、高情商、自發助人的孩子。身為專業科學線記者，以及為教養所苦的新手媽媽麥克蓮，帶著自己三歲大的女兒，深入南美、非洲和阿拉斯加等地，觀察當地住民的管教方式，並且親身實驗這些育兒方式，這才發現──主流的西方教養觀念根本行不通！在這些古老住民獨特的管教技巧下，女兒變得更為懂事，麥克蓮也放下了對教養的焦慮，進而有效改善自己的親子關係。她將自己的訪談與研究集結成此書，替所有苦於育兒的父母開啟一條康莊大道：❐ 顛覆過時且似是而非的主流教養觀念．現代提倡的許多育兒建議，最初目的只是為了將嬰兒照顧標準化，包括餵食時間、睡覺時間……然而這些建議大多違反生物自然。．大環境造成的不安感，讓父母覺得自己有義務把握每個教導孩子的機會，讓父母過於緊繃和心累。．為了建立孩子的自尊，父母總是盡其所能地讚美、鼓勵、表揚孩子，卻間接削弱了孩子自發與自我肯定的能力。❐ 採集‧狩獵等原始文化的獨門教養撇步．父母從不阻止孩子幫忙，即便他們做得一團亂。．父母不會勉強自己參與「專為孩子打造」的活動（例如「扮家家酒」），而是盡可能讓孩子參與成年人的活動。．屏棄「獎」或「懲」的極端教養方式，專注於激發孩子想要融入家庭或團體的渴望，透過「成就感」和「歸屬感」讓孩子自動自發地做事。．因紐特人以高情商著稱，他們知道情緒的傳染力，因此會著重於安頓自己的心情來影響孩子，而
