from "neither Shakespeare nor Mickey Spillane" young young young, only wanting the Word,
going mad in the streets and in the bars,
brutal fights, broken glass, crazy women
screaming in
your cheap room,
you a familiar guest at the drunk tank, North
Avenue 21, Lincoln Heights
sifting through the madness for the Word, the
line
the way,
hoping for a check from somewhere,
dreaming of a letter from a great editor:
"Chinaski, you don't know how long we've beenwaiting for you!"
no chance at all.

You know the authors’ names. You recognize the title. You've probably used this book yourself. And now The Elements of Style –the most widely read and employed English style manual–is available in a specially bound 50th Anniversary Edition that offers the title's vast audience an opportunity to own a more durable and elegantly bound edition of this time-tested classic.
Offering the same content as the Fourth Edition, revised in 1999, the new casebound 50th Anniversary Edition includes a brief overview of the book's illustrious history. Used extensively by individual writers as well as high school and college students of writing, it has conveyed the principles of English style to millions of readers. This new deluxe edition makes the perfect gift for writers of any age and ability level. Fifty Years of Acclaim for The Elements of Style , by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White I first read Elements of Style during the summer before I went off to Exeter, and I still direct my students at Harvard to their definition about the difference between 'that' and 'which.' It is the Bible for good, clear writing.”-- Henry Louis Gates Jr. “For writers of all kinds and sizes the world begins and ends with Strunk and White’s Elements of Style . Only something to actually write abouttrumps the list of what is required to put words together in some kind of coherent way. I treasure its presence in my life and salute its fifty years of glory and accomplishment."-- Jim Lehrer “ The Elements of Style remains an unwavering beacon of light in these grammatically troubled times. I would be lost without it.” -- Ann Patchett "To the extent I know how to write clearly at all, I probably taught myself while I was teaching others -- seventh graders, in Flint, Michigan, in 1967. I taughtthem witha copy of Strunk & White lying in full view on my desk, sort of in the way the Gideons leave Bibles in cheap hotel rooms, as a way of saying to the hapless inhabitant: ‘In case your reckless ways should strand you here, there's help.’ S&W doesn't really teach you how to write, it just tantalizingly reminds you that there's an orderly wayto go about it, that clarity's ever your ideal, but -- really -- it's all going to be up to you." -- RichardFord “ The Elements of Style never seems to go out of date. Its counsel is sound and funny, wise and unpretentious. And while its precepts are a foundation of direct communication, Strunk and White do not insist on a way of writing beyond clear expression. The rest is up to the imagination, the intelligence within.” -- David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker “It’s the toughness–the irreverence and implicit laughter–that attracted me to the little book when I was seventeen. I fell in love with Strunk & White’s loathing for cant and bloviation, the ruthless cutting of crap, jargon, and extra words. For me, that skeptical directness included a tacit permission by The Elements of Style to break its rules on occasion: an alloy of generosity in the blade, a grace I still admire and still learn from.” -- Robert Pinsky “In the quest for clarity, one can have no better guides than Strunk and White. For me, their book has been invaluable and remains essential.” -- Dan Rather "Eschew surplusage! A perfect book."--Jonathan Lethem "Not until I started teaching writing and I reread The Elements of Style did I realize that most everything I would be teaching young writers, and everything I would be learning myself as a writer, was contained between the covers of this slim, elegant, wise little book. -- Julia Alvarez “Strunk and White seared their way into my brain long ago, and I benefit from them daily.” -- Steven J. Dubner, co-author of Freakonomics “Since high school, I have kept a copy of this book handy. That should be unnecessary. I should, by now, have fully internalized The Elements of Style . But sometimes I get entangled in a paragraph that refuses to be ‘clear, brief, bold.’ I dip back into The Elements of Style and am refreshed.
After Scott Simon interviewed me on NPR about whether the word ‘e-mail’ needs a hyphen (yes, it does), some listeners, including friends of mine, wondered why I had answered in the affirmative when asked, in passing, ‘Are you a drunken white man?’ Those listeners misheard. ‘Strunk and White man’ was what Scott said.” -- Roy Blount Jr. “Strunk & White--writing's good-natured law firm--still contains enough sparkling good sense to clean up the whole bloviating blogosphere." -- Thomas Mallon “I used Strunk -- that’s what we called it, Strunk -- as a student at Berkeley fifty years ago. I didn't know that it was new, and that we were the first generation to be educated in The Elements of Style . I got a firm foundation in the English language, learned to write basically, and could depict the realistic world.Then I was able to become an impressionist and expressionist.” -- Maxine Hong Kingston “Strunk and White's gigantic little book must be the most readable advice on writing ever written. Side by side with Roget, Shakespeare, the Bible, and adictionary, it's an essential forevery writer's shelf.” -- X.J. Kennedy...

本书是解析群体心理的经典名著，虽然是一部学术性著作，但语言生动流畅，分析鞭辟入里，入木三分。因此，《乌合之众》一经问世，已被译成十几种语言。
本书颠覆了人们通常对群体的认识，将群体的特点剖析得淋漓尽致，让人先是惊异，后是佩服。
作者层层分析，逐步推进，明确指出个人一旦融入群体，他的个性便会被湮没，群体的思想便会占据绝对的统治地位，而与此同时，群体的行为也会表现出排斥异议，极端化、情绪化及低智商化等特点，进而对社会产生破坏性的影响。
《乌合之众》是社会心理学领域中最具影响力的著作，深刻思考群体行为并意欲有所作为的人们都应该读读这本书。

One of the world's most esteemed and influential psychologists, Roy F. Baumeister, teams with New York Times science writer John Tierney to reveal the secrets of self-control and how to master it.
In Willpower, the pioneering researcher Roy F. Baumeister collaborates with renowned New York Times science writer John Tierney to revolutionize our understanding of the most coveted human virtue: self-control.
In what became one of the most cited papers in social science literature, Baumeister discovered that willpower actually operates like a muscle: it can be strengthened with practice and fatigued by overuse. Willpower is fueled by glucose, and it can be bolstered simply by replenishing the brain's store of fuel. That's why eating and sleeping- and especially failing to do either of those-have such dramatic effects on self-control (and why dieters have such a hard time resisting temptation).
Baumeister's latest research shows that we typically spend four hours every day resisting temptation. No wonder people around the world rank a lack of self-control as their biggest weakness. Willpower looks to the lives of entrepreneurs, parents, entertainers, and artists-including David Blaine, Eric Clapton, and others-who have flourished by improving their self-control.
The lessons from their stories and psychologists' experiments can help anyone. You learn not only how to build willpower but also how to conserve it for crucial moments by setting the right goals and using the best new techniques for monitoring your progress. Once you master these techniques and establish the right habits, willpower gets easier: you'll need less conscious mental energy to avoid temptation. That's neither magic nor empty self-help sloganeering, but rather a solid path to a better life.
Combining the best of modern social science with practical wisdom, Baumeister and Tierney here share the definitive compendium of modern lessons in willpower. As our society has moved away from the virtues of thrift and self-denial, it often feels helpless because we face more temptations than ever. But we also have more knowledge and better tools for taking control of our lives. However we define happiness-a close- knit family, a satisfying career, financial security-we won't reach it without mastering self-control.

Eva Gabrielsson and Stieg Larsson. In "There Are Things I Want You to Know" About Stieg Larsson and Me , Gabrielsson accepts the daunting challenge of telling their story, steeped in love and sharpened in the struggle for justice and human rights. She chooses to tell it in short, spare, lyrical chapters, like snapshots, regaling Larsson's readers with how he wrote, why he wrote, who the sources are were for Lisbeth and his other characters—graciously answering Stieg Larsson's readers' most pressing questions—and at the same time telling us the things we didn't know we wanted to know—about love and loss, death, betrayal, and the mistreatment of women.

《西线无战事》是德国现代著名作家埃里希•马里亚•雷马克的代表作品。《西线无战事》讲述的是第一次世界大战期间，主人公保罗和他的三个同学受“保卫祖国、保卫人民”的欺骗宣传上了战场。在战争中他们目睹战争的残酷性和毁灭性，眼看着一个个战友相继死亡，他们的英雄主义幻想破产了，内心发生了变化，开始对战争怀疑、厌恶甚至憎恨。这部小说是一战时期被毁火的德国青年一代的控诉书，作品的成功之处在于它以异乎寻常的真实、毫不留情地揭开了这场所谓神圣的、美丽的战争的面纱，表现了极为鲜明的反战主题。这本书一出版就引起无与伦比的轰动效应，先后被译成29种文字，销量高达800万册，尤其受到当地青年的热烈欢迎。

不同于一般的人类学研究报告，这是一部令人捧腹不止的人类学笔记，透过幽默的笔调，读者看到了人类学者如何与研究对象进行互动，在互动中如何调整他的学术成见，以及田野工作上的琐事如何影响后来研究结果、研究的盲点与反思。因此不管是严肃的读者、无聊地只想打发时间或者是向往非洲原始部落的异国情调而蠢蠢欲动的旅人，巴利这本书绝对是一个有趣的选择。

从学生到科学家，从秘书到总裁，从家庭主妇到销售员，拖延的问题几乎会影响到每一个人。本书的两位作者基于他们倍受好评和极具开创性的拖延工作坊和从众多心理咨询领域中汲取的丰富理论和经验，对拖延作了一次仔细、详尽、有时也颇为幽默的探索。
通过鉴别和检查那些我们将事情推掉的背后原因——对失败、成功、控制、疏远和依附的恐惧，加上我们的时间概念问题和大脑的神经学因素——为我们学会怎样理解拖延的冲动以及怎样以全新方式采取行动做了一件非常扎实的基础工作。
作者为我们提供了达成目标、管理时间、谋求支持和处理压力等一系列方案来克服拖延问题，她们提供的方案极为实用并经受过实践的检验。本书还考虑到工作和生活节奏不断加快的当代文化诉求，以及诸如注意力缺失紊乱症、执行功能障碍症等神经认知问题对拖延的影响。本书甚至还为生活和工作在拖延者身边的人群提供了不少实用性建议。
