Self-Esteem 豆瓣
作者: Matthew McKay / Patrick Fanning New Harbinger Publications 2000 - 5
Self-esteem is essential for our survival. Without some measure of self-worth, life can be enormously painful, with many basic needs going unmet. One of the main factors differentiating humans from other animals is the awareness of self: the ability to form an identity and then attach a value to it. In other words, you have the capacity to define who you are and then decide if you like that identity or not. The problem of self-esteem is this human capacity for judgment. It's one thing to dislike certain colors, noises, shapes, or sensations. But when you reject parts of your self, you greatly damage the psycho logical structures that literally keep you alive. Judging and rejecting your self causes enormous pain. Since its first publication in 1987, "Self-Esteem" has become the first choice of therapists and savvy readers looking for a comprehensive, self-care approach to improving self-image, increasing personal power, and defining core values. More than 600,000 copies of this book have helped literally millions of readers feel better about themselves, achieve greater success, and enjoy their lives to the fullest. You can do it, too!

Luck in the Shadows (Nightrunner, Vol. 1) 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Lynn Flewelling Spectra 1996 - 8
"A new star is rising in the fantasy firmament...teems with magic and spine-chilling amounts of skullduggery."–Dave Duncan, author of The Great Game
When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn’t commit, he is certain that his life is at an end. But one thing he never expected was his cellmate. Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things–none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec’s new mentor, and this time there just might be…Luck in the Shadows.

Code 豆瓣
作者: Lawrence Lessig Basic Books 2006
The "alarming and impassioned"* book on how the Internet is redefining constitutional law, now reissued as the first popular book revised online by its readers (* New York Times ) There's a common belief that cyberspace cannot be regulated-that it is, in its very essence, immune from the government's (or anyone else's) control. Code , first published in 2000, argues that this belief is wrong. It is not in the nature of cyberspace to be unregulable; cyberspace has no "nature." It only has code-the software and hardware that make cyberspace what it is. That code can create a place of freedom-as the original architecture of the Net did-or a place of oppressive control. Under the influence of commerce, cyberpsace is becoming a highly regulable space, where behavior is much more tightly controlled than in real space. But that's not inevitable either. We can-we must-choose what kind of cyberspace we want and what freedoms we will guarantee. These choices are all about architecture: about what kind of code will govern cyberspace, and who will control it. In this realm, code is the most significant form of law, and it is up to lawyers, policymakers, and especially citizens to decide what values that code embodies. Since its original publication, this seminal book has earned the status of a minor classic. This second edition, or Version 2.0, has been prepared through the author's wiki, a web site that allows readers to edit the text, making this the first reader-edited revision of a popular book.

- 编辑推荐 -
★一场逼近临界时刻的深度访谈:当代资本主义意味着什么?解放难道不能带来自由吗?如何在我们的世界里毫无妥协地生存?
★让·鲍德里亚论当代资本主义、西方的衰落、解放价值观的残酷性、美国与欧洲社会、摄影与真实、艺术的终结……
★临界不是终结的那一刻,而是即将结束的那一刻,已无话可说之前的那一刻。在临界时刻,鲍德里亚告诫我们:“‘当我们揭开真相的面纱时,我们绝不能相信真相仍然是真相’——因此,真相从未赤裸裸地存在。当真实的幻觉被驱散时,我们绝不能相信真实仍然是真实——因此,真实就是没有客观性的现实。”
★“我们梦想着一个超越的、极度的价值突变,迎来的却是一个回缩的、逆行的、退化的价值突变”,于是“宁愿不再做、不再奔跑、不再竞争、不再消费,也不再以任何代价获得自由”。
- 内容简介 -
本书是法国记者菲利普·帕蒂对当代著名思想家让·鲍德里亚展开的一场深度访谈,广泛论及如下话题:福山,波斯尼亚、海湾战争、卢旺达和新世界秩序,全球化与普遍化,卷土重来的族裔民族主义,战争的本质,修正主义与大屠杀否定论,德勒兹、福柯、巴塔耶和维利里奥,虚无主义与启示录,写作实践,虚拟现实,东方与西方,受害者文化与忏悔文化,法国知识分子及其社会参与,当今资本主义的本质,消费社会与社会排斥,解放,死亡、暴力和恋尸癖,现实、幻觉和媒介,生活的全面失序。
鲍德里亚自如地游走在政治、哲学和文化之间,一针见血又不失幽默地对上述问题做出解答。对想要入门鲍德里亚思想的读者来说,这是一本现成的绝佳导读书;对熟悉鲍德里亚的读者来说,本书新颖地澄清了他晚期的思想立场,引人入胜。

Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch.
Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years.
With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.

The Uninhabitable Earth 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: David Wallace-Wells Tim Duggan Books 2019 - 2
It is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible—food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars and economic devastation.
An “epoch-defining book” (The Guardian) and “this generation’s Silent Spring” (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it—the ways that warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the trajectory of human progress.
The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action. For just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a single generation—today’s.

The man on the moon was dead. They called him Charlie. He had big eyes, abundant body hair and fairly long nostrils. His skeletal body was found clad in a bright red spacesuit, hidden in a rocky grave. They didn't know who he was, how he got there, or what had killed him. All they knew was that his corpse was 50,000 years old; and that meant that this man had somehow lived long before he ever could have existed!

Piranesi 豆瓣
9.2 (15 个评分) 作者: Susanna Clarke Bloomsbury Publishing 2020 - 9
The long-awaited return from the author of the multi-million copy bestselling Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
The Beautiful Orderliness of the House is what gives us Life.
Piranesi has always lived in the House; or, for as long as he can remember.
Day after day, Piranesi records in his notebooks with precision and carefulness the House's endless halls, their great and strange statues, the ebb and flow of the tides within its walls. He speaks to the birds; and brings tributes of food and waterlilies to the House's Dead. Once in a while, he sees his friend the Other. But mostly, he is alone.
Then messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk and spelled out in pebbles. A new person has come to the House, and there is something they are trying to tell Piranesi.
But another story is unfolding, within the pages of Piranesi's own journal. A story written in his own hand, that he cannot remember writing; a story of a group of strangers, in an unfamiliar world.
The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat 豆瓣
作者: Samin Nosrat / Wendy MacNaughton Simon & Schuster 2017 - 4
New York Times Bestseller
A visionary new master class in cooking that distills decades of professional experience into just four simple elements, from the woman declared “America’s next great cooking teacher” by Alice Waters.
In the tradition of The Joy of Cooking and How to Cook Everything comes Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, an ambitious new approach to cooking by a major new culinary voice. Chef and writer Samin Nosrat has taught everyone from professional chefs to middle school kids to author Michael Pollan to cook using her revolutionary, yet simple, philosophy. Master the use of just four elements—Salt, which enhances flavor; Fat, which delivers flavor and generates texture; Acid, which balances flavor; and Heat, which ultimately determines the texture of food—and anything you cook will be delicious. By explaining the hows and whys of good cooking, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat will teach and inspire a new generation of cooks how to confidently make better decisions in the kitchen and cook delicious meals with any ingredients, anywhere, at any time.
Echoing Samin’s own journey from culinary novice to award-winning chef, Salt, Fat Acid, Heat immediately bridges the gap between home and professional kitchens. With charming narrative, illustrated walkthroughs, and a lighthearted approach to kitchen science, Samin demystifies the four elements of good cooking for everyone. Refer to the canon of 100 essential recipes—and dozens of variations—to put the lessons into practice and make bright, balanced vinaigrettes, perfectly caramelized roast vegetables, tender braised meats, and light, flaky pastry doughs.
Featuring 150 illustrations and infographics that reveal an atlas to the world of flavor by renowned illustrator Wendy MacNaughton, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat will be your compass in the kitchen. Destined to be a classic, it just might be the last cookbook you’ll ever need.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven 豆瓣
作者: Sherman Alexie Grove Press 2005 - 2
When it was first published in 1993, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven established Sherman Alexie as a stunning new talent of American letters. The basis for the award-winning movie Smoke Signals, it remains one of his most beloved and widely praised books.
In this darkly comic collection, Alexie brilliantly weaves memory, fantasy, and stark realism to paint a complex, grimly ironic portrait of life in and around the Spokane Indian Reservation. These twenty-two interlinked tales are narrated by characters raised on humiliation and government-issue cheese, and yet are filled with passion and affection, myth and dream. Against a backdrop of alcohol, car accidents, laughter, and basketball, Alexie depicts the distances between Indians and whites, reservation Indians and urban Indians, men and women, and, most poetically, modern Indians and the traditions of the past.

一个充满文化、魅力与特权的世界
一首唱给世纪末巴黎的挽歌
.
比普鲁斯特还精彩。
——塞西尔•戴维-魏尔(Cécile David-Weill),《君子好逑》(The Suitors and Crush)作者
.
备受好评的《罪与美:时尚女王与法国大革命》的作者如今又首次深入研究三位巴黎女人,将天才的洞察目光投向了世纪末巴黎那个华丽而腐朽的世界,她们是马塞尔•普鲁斯特的灵感来源,启迪他在小说《追忆似水年华》中塑造了出身高贵的魅力化身德•盖尔芒特公爵夫人。
.
热纳维耶芙•阿莱维•比才•斯特劳斯;阿代奥姆•德•舍维涅伯爵夫人洛尔•德•萨德;以及格雷菲勒伯爵夫人伊丽莎白•德•里凯•德•卡拉曼-希迈,是世纪末巴黎上流社会的三位超级明星,用卡罗琳•韦伯的话说,她们“把自己——同时也被她们身边的人——转变为传奇:集高贵、优雅和时尚于一身的完美典范。”这三个女人都在无爱的婚姻中备受压抑,因而从1870年代到1890年代,她们把自己重塑为时代偶像,从中寻找自由、追求满足。韦伯对她的女主人公们精心经营的公众形象背后那些偷香窃玉的爱情、不为人知的心碎和坚韧不屈的抱负进行了极近距离的审视。在她们著名的沙龙里,她们启迪和支持了好几代著名作家、艺术家、作曲家、设计师和新闻记者的创作,让那些人对她们无限着迷,无限景仰。
.
1870年第二帝国崩溃、1870-1871年普法战争爆发、亨利五世的流亡宫廷、以及德雷福斯事件前的第一波反犹主义暗流,在如此丰富而生动的文化和历史背景下,韦伯带读者进入了这三个风情万种的女人的日常生活,她们参加仪式化的假面舞会、正式晚宴、歌剧和戏剧之夜、打猎、以及王室庆典。1890年代,年轻的普鲁斯特还只是远远地对她们投去景仰的目光,后来他会与她们会面、为自己笔下那位著名的复合人物收集素材。韦伯大量依赖私人家族档案,发现了不少新资料,还发现了两篇此前不为人知的普鲁斯特的文章。
.
《普鲁斯特的公爵夫人》集故事性和学术性于一体,文笔优美、叙事全面生动,为一个时代的终结撰写了令人难忘的传奇:曲高和寡的贵族理想轰然坍塌,华美的特权精英社会苟延残喘,不久,那个社会就会彻底消失在第一次世界大战的战壕里。
.
一部迷人的三人传记……韦伯集中书写了普鲁斯特为之着迷的三位魅力无限的女人,精准详实地描绘了受到社会和政治深刻变革威胁的法国贵族阶层……细致入微地记述了她们的离合悲欢、恩怨情仇……她生动再现了她们的府邸城堡乃至王室成员、艺术家和作家们光临的聚会和沙龙的奢华氛围、装束和装饰,这一切让胸怀抱负而又敏感多情的青年普鲁斯特深深陶醉。对这三位非凡的女人和她们那个风起云涌、脆弱易逝的世界做了洞悉幽微的迷人刻画。
——《柯克斯书评》(精选星级书评)
.
凭借她令人震惊、值得嘉奖的研究,卡罗琳•韦伯对普鲁斯特借以创作德•盖尔芒特公爵夫人的三位真实女人的了解,甚至超过了创造神话的普鲁斯特本人。这是一部极佳的社会史。
——《马塞尔•普鲁斯特传》的作者埃德蒙•怀特(Edmund White)
.
韦伯揭示了在她们精心打造的公共形象背后,三位女主人公非凡生活中的种种私密细节。如雷贯耳的大名被作者信手拈来,如五彩纸屑一般撒落在字里行间……韦伯女士以出色的功力把我们带回到那个充满文化、魅力和特权的世界,而那一切都随着第一次世界大战的枪声灰飞烟灭了。
——莫伊拉•霍奇森(Moira Hodgson),《华尔街日报》
.
这部妙不可言的著作集叙事天分、文学研究和原始新素材为一体,以敏锐而绚丽的眼光对那个时代高低贵贱的社会和文学予以洞察,写作风格与主题一样优雅活泼。它的主题是19世纪末巴黎三位卓越的女性,和她们一起走上耀目舞台的是从普鲁斯特到莫泊桑这一群作家、亲王、女伶、政治家、记者、艺术家、妓女。这是对一个时代、一个地点及其所启迪的伟大艺术所做的研究,超群拔类、天分惊人、魅力无限。
——《罗曼诺夫皇朝,1613~1918》作者西蒙•塞巴格•蒙蒂菲奥里
.
一部天才的研究……最丰富的社会史,而且非常非常有趣。
——埃德蒙•怀特(Edmund White),《泰晤士报文学增刊》年度最佳图书
.
详尽、有趣、非凡的研究……这本书详细地阐明了普鲁斯特的方法……在这个虚假做作、光怪陆离的世界,普鲁斯特仿佛戴着眼镜观察着,公爵夫人和她们的客人们穿行其中,如梦似幻,却对一切信以为真。
——科尔姆•托宾(Colm Tóibín),《纽约书评》
