The classic book on the development of human language by the world’s leading expert on language and the mind.

In this classic, the world's expert on language and mind lucidly explains everything you always wanted to know about language: how it works, how children learn it, how it changes, how the brain computes it, and how it evolved. With deft use of examples of humor and wordplay, Steven Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of language into a compelling story: language is a human instinct, wired into our brains by evolution.  The Language Instinct  received the William James Book Prize from the American Psychological Association and the Public Interest Award from the Linguistics Society of America. This edition includes an update on advances in the science of language since  The Language Instinct  was first published.

A Common-Sense Guide to Living Rich….Instead of Dying Rich

Imagine if by the time you died, you did everything you were told to. You worked hard, saved your money, and looked forward to financial freedom when you retired.
 
The only thing you wasted along the way was…your life.
 
Die with Zero presents a startling new and provocative philosophy as well as practical guide on how to get the most out of your money—and out of your life. It’s intended for those who place lifelong memorable experiences far ahead of simply making and accumulating money for one’s so-called Golden Years.
 
In short, Bill Perkins wants to rescue you from over-saving and under-living. Regardless of your age, Die with Zero will teach you Perkins’ plan for optimizing your life, stage by stage, so you’re fully engaged and enjoying what you’ve worked and saved for.
 
You’ll discover how to maximize your lifetime memorable moments with “experience bucketing,” how to convert your earnings into priceless memories by following your “net worth curve,” and find out how to navigate whether to invest in, or delay, a meaningful adventure based on your “spend curve” and “personal interest rate.”
 
Using his own life experiences as well as the inspiring stories and cautionary tales of others—and drawing on eye-opening insights about time, money, and happiness from psychological science and behavioral finance —Perkins makes a timely, convincing, and contrarian case for living large.

Millions of lives are damaged by the legacy of parental abuse. Parents who ignored their children's needs or overburdened them with guilt. Parents who were alcoholic or addicted to drugs. Parents who were exploitative and cruel, or simply indifferent and inadequate. When these children reach adulthood the damage done by their toxic parents manifests itself in depression, or difficulties with relationships, careers and decision-making. This book confronts this painful legacy and shows why it is so difficult to put the past behind you. She offers alternatives for achieving inner peace and for freeing yourself from the frustrating patterns of your relationships with your parents. Filled with case histories and testimony from adult children of toxic parents, this book also offers the self-help techniques Dr Forward has developed to change the lives of her patients.

★日本亞馬遜四星好評
☆日本亞馬遜軍事類暢銷榜第６名
★自衛隊訓練教官執筆，專為你我所寫的戰場求生手冊
試著想像，假若有一天飛彈警報響起、敵國部隊搶灘上岸、軍機不斷盤旋……
未曾受過軍事訓練、身為普通百姓的你我，人生將迎來怎麼樣的劇烈轉變？
‧發電廠與通訊基地台遭炸毀，無法對外聯繫求援
‧引發恐慌性搶購潮，導致生活必需品嚴重不足
‧商店搶劫、闖空門、強盜等犯罪行為頻傳
‧敵軍成功占領，頒布戒嚴令限制行動，食物統一配給
‧強制勞動，或是集中拘禁，可能面臨被虐待、虐殺的下場
當戰爭無預警爆發，生活一夕間面目全非，每日行經的街道煙硝瀰漫……
此時此刻，你知道該如何讓自己活下來嗎？
無論是恐怖攻擊、示威暴動導致國內治安惡化、彈道飛彈來襲、軍隊駐守交通要道，甚至直接面對槍口威脅……，這些出現在戰場上的各種危機，我們又該如何應對？
本書是由日本自衛隊的訓練教官共同寫作，解說非常時期面臨危機時的自救法。同時也透過這本戰場行動守則傳達一個重要觀念──戰爭絕非偶發事件，應該視為危機管理的一環。因此平時應建立起風險管理與防範計畫，也就是「戰場行動的守則」。唯有清楚認知我們將面臨怎麼樣的遭遇，才能做出有效的因應對策，同時做好心理建設。
STAGE 1►► 戰前的準備
我們很難知道什麼時候會發生戰爭，但戰爭的原因卻絕對有跡可循。綜觀人類歷史，戰爭爆發前必然伴隨某些徵兆，有時甚至牽涉大國外交的角力。我們不僅要關心國內新聞，也需要留心國際情勢的變化。
STAGE 2►► 戰爭的武器
現代戰爭的模式，大抵遵循彈道飛彈射擊→船艦駛入近海→部隊搶灘登陸→癱瘓並壓制國軍系統的方式。然而，侵略方並不侷限於擁有足夠軍備的大國，對於沒有彈道飛彈或巡弋飛彈的小國而言，游擊戰與恐怖攻擊才是更有效的打擊手段。
核彈、飛彈、生化武器的避難對策，認識步兵常用槍械與彈藥分類、遮蔽物藏身要點，如何在武器攻擊下提升存活率，也是本書的指導要點。
STAGE 3►► 戰場的求生
身處槍戰現場，第一反應就決定你我生死？生活在軍隊占領地區，體面衣著反而是大忌？逃難時應該自行駕車還是徒步跋涉？該沿著交通幹道遷徙，還是該迴避敵軍而穿越山林？步入危險區域時，有什麼方法可以隱匿行蹤？我們不只要擬定城鎮戰的行動方針，也不妨向特種兵與原住民學習，將偵查和偽裝技巧化為生存技能。
不只是戰爭，恐怖攻擊、暴動、政變等各種風險，至今依然潛伏在我們日常周遭。
本書不僅提供自保方法，也能幫助各位守護身邊重要的人。
