For many people, having a large family isn’t a reasonable option. Fortunately, medical science has ushered in a new era of family balancing where couples can determine their baby's gender. The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection guides prospective parents step-by-step through the maze of options currently available — from the unpredictable (and now outdated) timing method, to highly effective sperm sorting, to the preimplantation genetic diagnosis, which guarantees accuracy.The author describes the most advanced methodologies in simple lay terms so that they are easily understood. But The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection does more than explain how the technology works — it prepares the reader for the personal experience of fertility drugs, artificial insemination, and/or in vitro fertilization. A bonus chapter details the added medical benefits of genetic testing, including preimplantation screening for single gene defects like cystic fibrosis, B thalassemia, Tay-Sachs disease

In this brilliant presentation of a revolutionary thinker's life, the picture book becomes an art formAs far as I can judge, I am not apt to follow blindly the lead of other men . . . Charles Darwin was, above all else, an independent thinker who continues even now to influence the way we look at the natural world. His endless curiosity and passion for detail resulted in a wealth of notebooks, diaries, correspondence, and published writings that Peter S!s transforms into a visual treasure trove. A multilayered journey through Darwin’s world, The Tree of Life begins with his childhood and traces the arc of his life through university and career, following him around the globe on the voyage of the Beagle, and home to a quiet but momentous life devoted to science and family. S!s uses his own singular vision to create a gloriously detailed panorama of a genius’s trajectory through investigating and understanding the mysteries of nature.

Millions of little lights? Contorting inflatable snowmen? Wait, what? If this is all winter too, then winter is kind of . . . weird!

日常生活中，以下這些對話或許會出現在我們的親密關係裡， 我們可能察覺到有什麼不對勁，但又不知道該怎麼辦…… 「你昨天去哪裡？跟誰出去？去幹什麼？為什麼不接電話？！」──控制 「你每次都忘記我要你做的事，你是真笨還是有什麼毛病？」──辱罵 「我不會放過你的。」「那我就死給你看。」「我會把孩子帶走。」──威脅 「我根本沒那麼說過。」「你根本沒告訴過我。」「那根本沒發生過。」「你太敏感了……」──煤氣燈操縱（gaslighting） 情緒虐待是一種非生理性的暴力， 加害者會辱罵、貶低或控制受害者， 這是有系統、非身體上的霸凌； 它包括一種行為模式，目的是使受害者痛苦、失去信心，並受到控制。 這往往比生理上的傷害更難以察覺，也遠比我們以為的更普遍。 情緒虐待除了發生在伴侶關係之外，親子及婆媳關係、 職場及學校的人際關係等等也經常出現。 有些人一輩子所認知的人際關係都被扭曲地形塑，其背後的原因錯綜複雜。 本書分析各種加害者的人格障礙，包括： 反社會型人格障礙（ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER, APD） 自戀型人格障礙（NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER, NPD） 邊緣型人格障礙（BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER, BPD） 做作型人格障礙（histrionic personality disorder, HPD） 人格障礙是一種偏離文化規範的經驗與行為模式，會導致明顯的痛苦和功能障礙。 這種模式遍布於各種環境與關係中，會影響人的思考及看待世界、自己和他人的方式。 許多處於虐待關係中的人，都會懷疑自己是否應該注意到警訊，可是一開始卻沒看出來。 虐待關係起初都是加害者迅速投入、過度體貼、全神貫注在受害者的安全或幸福，而且對關係有不切實際的期望，最後演變成各種「操控」手段。 例如，侮辱譏諷、言語恐嚇、人身攻擊、不溝通的冷戰、無止境地干擾索求、懲罰、金錢控制……，種種行為使得受害者喪失自信、自尊，精神耗弱，甚至萌生自殺的念頭。 為此── ＊書中將分成三個階段： 1.如何辨識情緒虐待、開始採取行動、勇敢向前邁進。 2.從提供訊息開始，幫助我們將經驗放到脈絡中， 3.接著引導我們檢視自己的關係，指引我們走向復原之路。 ＊本書適用於所有類型的人際關係： 不僅針對伴侶關係，而是對所有類型的人際關係

How do sucheveryday buildings reflect a city’s changing political, social, and economic needs, through their yearslong transformations in forms, functions, and management?
