A wondrous nonfiction debut from the cofounder of NPR’s Invisibilia, Why Fish Don’t Exist tells the story of a 19th-century scientist possessed with bringing order to the natural world—a dark and astonishing tale that becomes an investigation into some of the biggest questions of our lives.
When Lulu Miller was starting out as a science reporter, she encountered a story that would stick with her for a decade. It was the strange tale of a scientist named David Starr Jordan, who set out to discover as many of the world’s fish as he could. Decade by decade, he built one of the most important specimen collections ever seen. Until the 1906 San Francisco earthquake hit—sending over a thousand of his fish, housed in fragile glass jars, plummeting to the floor. In an instant, his life’s work was shattered.
Miller knew what she would do if she were in Jordan’s shoes. She would give up, give in to despair. But Jordan? He surveyed the wreckage at his feet, found the first fish he recognized, and painstakingly began to rebuild his collection. And this time, he introduced one clever innovation that, he believed, would protect it against the chaos of the world.
In Why Fish Don’t Exist, Miller digs into the passing anecdote she once heard about David Starr Jordan to tell his whole story. What was it that kept him going that day in 1906? What became of him? And who does he prove to be, in the end: a role model for how to thrive in a chaotic world, or a cautionary tale? Filled with suspense, surprise, and even a questionable death, this enchanting book interweaves science, biography, and a dash of memoir to investigate the age-old question of how to go on when everything seems lost.

In the thirteen stories in her remarkable second collection, Alice Munro demonstrates the precise observation, straightforward prose style, and masterful technique that led no less a critic than John Updike to compare her to Chekhov. The sisters, mothers and daughters, aunts, grandmothers, and friends in these stories shimmer with hope and love, anger and reconciliation, as they contend with their histories and their present, and what they can see of the future.

一本奇妙的小书，用文字记述开悟的体验。在禅宗公案和传奇故事中，禅师们在面临无可解的矛盾时，似乎总有一种超越对错二元性的态度，能从中迸出一种全新的东西，我们称之为“悟”。但禅宗不立文字，我们通常只看到“顿悟”的刹那，而看不到在开悟之前或之后的种种过程。
这本《箭术与禅心》的可贵之处在于：一位具有西方理性思想精髓的学者，以客观的态度，亲自深入探究东方的直观智慧，以平实的文字加以分析报道，没有夸大渲染。这种来自异国文化观点的第一手心得报告，没有经过时间或口耳相传的扭曲，也不用背负任何传统的包袱，具有参考价值。
为了追求生命的真义，德国哲学家赫立格尔远赴日本学禅。他追随弓圣阿波研造，修行箭术，但习箭的每一个阶段对他而言都是一个困境，仿佛一则则无解的公案。在师父的引导下，他逐渐放下自我的投射，体验了“当下的真心”，得以一睹那遥远的天际，禅所活生生存在并呼吸着的空间。

An eye-opening account of life inside North Korea—a closed world of increasing global importance—hailed as a “tour de force of meticulous reporting” (The New York Review of Books)
 
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST
 
In this landmark addition to the literature of totalitarianism, award-winning journalist Barbara Demick follows the lives of six North Korean citizens over fifteen years—a chaotic period that saw the death of Kim Il-sung, the rise to power of his son Kim Jong-il (the father of Kim Jong-un), and a devastating famine that killed one-fifth of the population.
 
Demick brings to life what it means to be living under the most repressive regime today—an Orwellian world that is by choice not connected to the Internet, where displays of affection are punished, informants are rewarded, and an offhand remark can send a person to the gulag for life. She takes us deep inside the country, beyond the reach of government censors, and through meticulous and sensitive reporting we see her subjects fall in love, raise families, nurture ambitions, and struggle for survival. One by one, we witness their profound, life-altering disillusionment with the government and their realization that, rather than providing them with lives of abundance, their country has betrayed them.

“A tour de force of meticulous reporting.”—The New York Review of Books

“Excellent . . . humanizes a downtrodden, long-suffering people whose individual lives, hopes and dreams are so little known abroad.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“The narrow boundaries of our knowledge have expanded radically with the publication of Nothing to Envy. . . . Elegantly structured and written, [it] is a groundbreaking work of literary nonfiction.”—John Delury, Slate

“At times a page-turner, at others an intimate study in totalitarian psychology.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

In 2010 world-renowned innovation expert Clayton M. Christensen gave a powerful speech to the Harvard Business School's graduating class. Drawing upon his business research, he offered a series of guidelines for finding meaning and happiness in life. He used examples from his own experiences to explain how high achievers can all too often fall into traps that lead to unhappiness.
The speech was memorable not only because it was deeply revealing but also because it came at a time of intense personal reflection: Christensen had just overcome the same type of cancer that had taken his father's life. As Christensen struggled with the disease, the question "How do you measure your life?" became more urgent and poignant, and he began to share his insights more widely with family, friends, and students.
In this groundbreaking book, Christensen puts forth a series of questions: How can I be sure that I'll find satisfaction in my career? How can I be sure that my personal relationships become enduring sources of happiness? How can I avoid compromising my integrity—and stay out of jail? Using lessons from some of the world's greatest businesses, he provides incredible insights into these challenging questions.
How Will You Measure Your Life? is full of inspiration and wisdom, and will help students, midcareer professionals, and parents alike forge their own paths to fulfillment.

Creativity, Inc. is a book for managers who want to lead their employees to new heights, a manual for anyone who strives for originality, and the first-ever, all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation Studios—into the story meetings, the postmortems, and the “Braintrust” sessions where art is born. It is, at heart, a book about how to build and sustain a creative culture—but it is also, as Pixar co-founder and president Ed Catmull writes, “an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible.”
For nearly twenty years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner twenty-seven Academy Awards. The joyousness of the storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Now, in this book, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques, honed over years, that have made Pixar so widely admired—and so profitable.
As a young man, Catmull had a dream: to make the world’s first computer-animated movie. He nurtured that dream first as a Ph.D. student at the University of Utah, where many computer science pioneers got their start, and then forged an early partnership with George Lucas that led, indirectly, to his founding Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter in 1986. Nine years later and against all odds, Toy Story was released, changing animation forever. The essential ingredient in that movie’s success—and in the thirteen movies that followed, all of which debuted at #1 at the box office—was the unique environment that Catmull and his colleagues built at Pixar, based on philosophies that protect the creative process and ideas that defy convention, such as:
• Give a good idea to a mediocre team, and they will screw it up. But give a mediocre idea to a great team, and they will either fix it or come up with something better.
• If you don’t strive to uncover what is unseen and understand its nature, you will be ill prepared to lead.
• It’s not the manager’s job to prevent risks. It’s the manager’s job to make it safe for others to take them.
• The cost of preventing errors is often far greater than the cost of fixing them.
• A company’s communication structure should not mirror its organizational structure. Everybody should be able to talk to anybody.
• Do not assume that general agreement will lead to change—it takes substantial energy to move a group, even when all are on board.
Advance praise for Creativity, Inc.
“Many have attempted to formulate and categorize inspiration and creativity. What Ed Catmull shares instead is his astute experience that creativity isn’t strictly a well of ideas but an alchemy of people. In Creativity, Inc., Ed reveals, with commonsense specificity and honesty, examples of how not to get in your own way and realize a creative coalescence of art, business, and innovation.”—George Lucas

She was known to the world as Emily Doe when she stunned millions with a letter. Brock Turner had been sentenced to just six months in county jail after he was found sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. Her victim impact statement was posted on BuzzFeed, where it instantly went viral--viewed by eleven million people within four days, it was translated globally and read on the floor of Congress; it inspired changes in California law and the recall of the judge in the case. Thousands wrote to say that she had given them the courage to share their own experiences of assault for the first time.
Now she reclaims her identity to tell her story of trauma, transcendence, and the power of words. It was the perfect case, in many ways--there were eyewitnesses, Turner ran away, physical evidence was immediately secured. But her struggles with isolation and shame during the aftermath and the trial reveal the oppression victims face in even the best-case scenarios. Her story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicts a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and, ultimately, shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life.
Know My Name will forever transform the way we think about sexual assault, challenging our beliefs about what is acceptable and speaking truth to the tumultuous reality of healing. It also introduces readers to an extraordinary writer, one whose words have already changed our world. Entwining pain, resilience, and humor, this memoir will stand as a modern classic.

An in-depth, revelatory, and unbiased look at Amazon's world-dominating business model, the current competitors either imitating or trying to outfox Amazon, and the ways Bezonomics is shaping the life of every American consumer--from an award-winning Fortune magazine writer.
Like Henry Ford, Sam Walton, or Steve Jobs in the early years of Ford, Walmart, and Apple, Jeff Bezos is the business story of the decade. Bezos, the richest man on the planet, has built one of the most efficient wealth-creation machines in history with 2% of US household income being spent on nearly 500 million products shipped from warehouses in seventeen countries. Amazon's business model has not only turned the retail industry and cloud computing inside out, but now its tentacles are squeezing media and advertising, and disrupting the state of technology, the economy, job creation, and society at large. Amazon's impact is so pervasive that business leaders in nearly every sector around the world need to understand how this force of nature operates.
Based on unprecedented behind-the-scenes reporting from 150 sources inside and outside of Amazon, Bezonomics unveils the underlying principles Jeff Bezos uses to achieve his dominance--customer obsession, extreme innovation, and long-term management, all supported by artificial intelligence--and shows how these are being borrowed and replicated by companies across the United States, in China, and elsewhere. Brian Dumaine shares tips for Amazon-proofing your business. Most important, Bezonomics answers the fundamental question: How are Amazon and its imitators affecting the way we live, and what can we learn from them?
A goldmine for some, and a threat for others, "Bezonomics" has become a life-shaping force both now and in the future that every American must know more about.

直刺人心、討論熱度居高不下，
又痛又溫暖的同志補血劑。
同性戀、異性戀、跨性別、女人、男人……
我們每個人都是不一樣的個體，
但也都一樣。
───｜劇情簡介｜───
莫奇吉為了撐起貧困單親母子家庭的生計，
16歲時便開始賣春。
他挺過家暴、在同志風俗店工作，
以及職權騷擾等等有如暴風雨般驚濤駭浪的日子，
終於找到自己的容身之處──
一間員工自我風格極度強烈的同志酒吧。
想逃離「毒親」的單身女性、
沒有隱私權可言的藝人、
憂鬱症時好時壞的客人、
向父母出櫃、被霸凌、找不到生存的意義……
滿身傷痕的人們來到深夜的同志酒吧，
因為我也曾被尖銳的社會刺得遍體麟傷，
才更懂得如何溫柔地給予擁抱。
不想回家的時候，就來找莫奇吉吧！
▶▶我是GAY，不想用「女朋友」這個詞語來偽裝自己。
當同事閒聊問候「是否有女朋友？」的時候，選擇用「沒有戀人」帶過，卻因此露出破綻，被公司發現同志身分、被貼上生活淫亂的標籤、被剝奪工作的權利……生而為GAY，明明那麼拚命又努力地過日子，為什麼得不到同等的回報？
▶▶我不想再反覆製造負面氛圍和閉塞感了。
在同志風俗店工作的人們大多都曾受過傷害，因為不想讓大家擔心，決定努力保持堅強開朗又開心的模樣。可是大家都知道喔！即使你並不是一個溫柔完美的人、就算你是個GAY，也沒有人能否定你。
───｜作者的話｜───
大家好，我叫莫奇吉，目前是隱居在鄉下的同志作家。
在我６歲時父親便去世了，之後便與姊姊以及有點難相處的媽媽相依為命。
18歲時我跟媽媽吵架後離開家裡，到東京的同志風俗店工作。
後來我上了大學，一邊在同志風俗店打工，好不容易找到正職工作。
之後我是同志的事被公司發現，於是我辭掉工作，再次回到同志風俗店重操舊業，可是精神上很痛苦，過著自暴自棄的日子。
就在此時，朋友帶我去同志酒吧「genius」，那裡的媽媽桑挖角我過去…
我因此一腳踏入同志酒吧這個世界──
這本作品就是根據當時在那裡工作３年以上的經驗所畫出來的。
───｜角色介紹｜───
✦同志酒吧《genius》✦
這並非實際的店名，而是漫畫裡所使用的店名。
✦莫奇吉✦
很色的同志，北半球第一美（自稱）。
被發現是個GAY之後便離開家到同志風俗店工作，
大學畢業後工作也因為被發現是同志而離職，
後來在同志酒吧工作。
一生悲喜都是為了老二。
✦市谷✦
《genius》的媽媽桑。
30幾歲，愛吃日本料理，是個熱愛工作勝於戀愛的同志。
眼角的魚尾紋很可愛。
雖然是個心中充滿愛的好好先生，
但是打鼾聲很吵，也很愛碎碎念。
✦未來✦
小媽媽桑，跟莫奇吉同年。
是個已經向家人出櫃，決心要在這個世界生存下去的同志。
人很好、長得帥、內心十分堅強，但酒量很差。
✦阿翔✦
比莫奇吉年長的同志。
雖然長相帥氣又有常識，但因為有潔癖而放棄跟男朋友同居。
運動神經很差，不會做前滾翻。
✦阿龍✦
年紀比莫奇吉小的同志。

✦藍斗✦
比莫奇吉年長的無性戀者。天生少根筋。

跟我一樣服裝品味都很棒。

逃離不斷情緒勒索又施暴的媽媽、
　　為了在東京生存開始賣屁股、
　　好不容易考上大學找到工作卻因為同志身分被開除、
　　遍體鱗傷地落腳在同志酒吧。

　　每一個角色都是莫奇吉的人生。
　　被「性」決定的人生。

　　因為性別認同、性取向、性衝動的對象「不符合社會多數的期待」，
　　而承受無數傷害、冷語與不諒解，
　　但莫奇吉用巨大的堅強，溫柔的對抗，美麗的綻放──

　　▶▶我要爭口氣給媽媽看！
　　受不了母親長年情緒勒索、言語虐待，高中還沒畢業就用陪睡掙得的存款逃到東京的莫奇吉，一邊在同志風俗店工作，一邊努力念書。然而他發現維繫這一切的動力僅是出自於反抗媽媽的心理，想成為媽媽最討厭的大學生、想找回被媽媽否定掉的可能性……

　　「為了改變自己，而做出這些行動很了不起。」
　　「但你的生存動機不能一直放在想讓對方屈服上，
　　你的人生，應該為自己而活。」

　　▶▶喔，我就是同性戀啊。
　　高中最要好的朋友，翻出姊姊藏在房裡的BL漫畫並嘲笑了一番，還對莫奇吉說：「同性戀真的超噁心！」然而，當莫奇吉一派淡定地說自己就是同性戀之後，朋友突然痛哭著承認了自己的性向……

　　「大家都說同性戀很噁心，
　　所以我一直以為不能說。」
　　「雖然你不是我的菜，但我喜歡你！」

　　▶▶我無法想像什麼幸福家庭──
　　莫奇吉的初戀，是個溫柔的男老師。在莫奇吉因為悲慘混亂的家庭背景而痛苦不堪、被當成問題學生、甚至放棄人生地說出「不要再管我了」之後，老師依然溫柔地接住了他。即使是GAY、即使無法擁有幸福家庭，也能找到想守護的東西，希望總有一天能成為發自內心地覺得「活著真好」的大人……

　　「有人可以依靠時盡量依靠，
　　然後，你也要成為值得依賴的大人。」

绿色设计(Green Design)是20世纪80末出现的一股国际设计潮流。绿色设计反映了人们对于现代科技文化所引起的环境及生态破坏的反思，同时也体现了设计师道德贺社会责任心的回归。
在漫长的人类设计史中，工业设计为人类创造了现代生活方式和生活环境的同时，也加速了资源，能源的消耗，并对地球的生态平衡造成了极大的破坏。特别是工业设计的过度商业化，使设计成了鼓励人们无节制的消费的重要介质，“有计划的商品废止制”就是这种现象的极端表现。无怪乎人们称“广告设计”和“工业设计”是鼓吹人们消费的罪魁祸首，招致了许多的批评和责难。正是在这种背景下，设计师们不得不重新思考工业设计师的职责和作用，绿色设计也就应运而生。
从历史可以看出，对于绿色设计产生直接影响的是美国设计理论家维克多·巴巴纳克（Victor Papanek）。早在20世纪60年代末，他就出版了一本引起极大争议的专著《为真实世界而设计》（Design for the real world）。该书专注于设计师面临的人类需求的最紧迫的问题，强调设计师的社会及伦理价值。他认为，设计的最大作用并不是创造商业价值，也不是包装和风格方面的竞争，而是一种适当的社会变革过程中的元素。他同时强调设计应该认真有限的地球资源的使用问题，并为保护地球的环境服务。对于他的观点，当时能理解的人并不多。但是，自从70年代“能源危机”爆发，他的“有限资源论”才得到人们普遍的认可。绿色设计也得到了越来越多的人的关注和认同。
