本書揭露20世紀以來 11 場重大戰爭中的媒體操弄手法，包括了：● 美國如何利用媒體發動戰爭● 西方媒體如何塑造敵國形象● 韓戰與媒體宣傳● 波斯灣戰爭的輿論操作● 新疆問題與國際輿論● 利比亞戰爭背後的媒體戰● 天安門事件的真相與爭議● 北韓形象塑造的歷史演變如果你對國際政治、戰爭史、媒體研究以及地緣政治等有興趣，絕對能在本書中，更深刻地了解假新聞（Fake News）、媒體操弄（Media Manipulation）、戰爭宣傳（War Propaganda）、輿論戰（Public Opinion Warfare）、捏造暴行（Fabricated Atrocities）、國際衝突（International Conflicts）、信息戰（Information Warfare）等各種戰略，是如何環環相扣，影響全球輿論與世界秩序。本書列舉十一個近現代較知名的國際衝突及戰事案例，分析各案例發生的前因後果，以及案例中主要參與的國家、組織或個人，在主流媒體中的形象。而這些形象帶給國際社會的觀感，往往就是導致國際社會對於該場戰爭或衝突，給予支持或反對的主要依據。這些輿論形象的呈現，對歷史發展與往後國際政治環境的形塑，有著不可小覷的影響力。同時，在十一個被捏造暴行國家的案例中，詳述捏造出來的暴行如何為實質的侵略行為鋪路，導致被誣陷國家的人民在遭遇戰爭和軍事介入時，面臨到的真正暴行；而這些真實暴行的罪惡程度，往往遠超出當初西方勢力透過媒體所捏造出來的虛假暴行。第一章 冷戰初期的古巴與越南分別描述了美國如何在侵略古巴及出兵越南之前，創造了適合美軍發起軍事行動或合理化其戰爭行為的輿論環境。而在兩場軍事行動失利後，美國又是如何透過西方媒體引導國際輿論走向，合理化其發動軍事行動的正當性。第二章 韓戰釐清在韓戰期間，西方盟軍事實上也曾進行過不人道的戰爭行為，或曾發起過不符合交戰規範的屠殺行為，然而西方世界最後都將這些罪行推到了敵軍身上，規避原有責任。另外，關於韓戰期間美軍及西方國家戰俘宣稱曾遭受過的虐待，作者也嘗試以各方資料查證是否屬實。第三章 1989年的北京和天安門廣場從中國共產黨取得中國大陸政權，並開始與西方民主資本陣營開始對峙講起，指出目前西方主流媒體對於六四天安門期間，中共政權曾發動過大規模血腥鎮壓

骨病學派與其它醫學系統早已發展出各式各樣的研究方法，用以瞭解肌肉骨骼系統在正常或異常動作下的力學表現。在這本創新的著作裡，作者也將相同的結構分析概念應用到內臟系統，用以探討不同器官之間的運動狀態。 內臟鬆弛術最重要的前提就是：不同器官之間，其功能與結構上的相關性，就跟肌肉骨骼系內部不同的組成之間的關係一樣緊密；因此，就如治療肌肉骨骼系統一般，治療內臟器官的異常律動或運動狀態也會帶來正面效應。基於這
