From women’s mental health specialist and New York Times contributor Pooja Lakshmin, MD, comes a long-overdue reckoning with the contradictions of the wellness industry and a paradigm-shifting program for practicing real self-care that will empower, uplift, and maybe even start a revolution.
You may have noticed that it’s nearly impossible to go even a couple days without coming across the term self-care. A word that encompasses any number of lifestyle choices and products—from juice cleanses to yoga workshops to luxury bamboo sheets—self-care has exploded in our collective consciousness as a panacea for practically all of women’s problems.
Board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin finds this cultural embrace of self-care incomplete at best and manipulative at worst. Fixing your troubles isn’t simple as buying a new day planner or signing up for a meditation class. These faux self-care practices keep us looking outward—comparing ourselves with others or striving for a certain type of perfection. Even worse, they exonerate an oppressive social system that has betrayed women and minorities.
Real self-care, in contrast, is an internal, self-reflective process that involves making difficult decisions in line with our values, and when we practice it, we shift our relationships, our workplaces, and even our broken systems.
In Real Self-Care, Lakshmin helps readers understand what a real practice of caring for yourself could—and does—look like. Using case studies from her practice, clinical research, and the down-to-earth style that she's become known for, Lakshmin provides a step-by-step program for real and sustainable change and solace. Packed with actionable strategies to deal with common problems, Real Self-Care is a complete roadmap for women to set boundaries and move past guilt, treat themselves with compassion, get closer to themselves, and assert their power. The result—having ownership over one’s own life— is nothing less than a personal and social revolution.

★ 当黑夜降临，宇宙幕布开启，欢迎来到科幻大师布拉德伯里的脑内小剧场
★ 18则“黑镜”式怪诞诗意反转剧
★ 《华氏451》的大火从这里开始燃烧，《火星编年史》的飞船自此地启航

《图案人》是科幻大师雷•布拉德伯里的经典短篇小说集。以一个全身遍布可以预知未来的文身图案的神秘男子为线索，牵出18则“黑镜”式天马行空的科幻奇妙物语，每一篇都有诗意而奇诡的想象和出人意料的结局。本书曾于1969年被改编为cult电影，同名系列剧集预计将于2022年由《超感猎杀》导演迈克尔•斯特拉辛斯基搬上荧幕。
作为公认的科幻大师，布拉德伯里的作品别具一格：并非硬核科幻，却能洞察人性和科技间最尖锐的矛盾，抵达内心深处的欲望和恐惧。每个故事都像一则寓言，穿梭在科幻与现实、戏谑与严肃之间，悲观而又不乏对人类未来最真诚的期望。那些美丽的奇思妙想，金色的怀旧，偶尔加剧的刺痛，提醒着我们未曾老去的好奇心。
特以此精装典藏版，纪念雷•布拉德伯里。他是科幻界的爱伦•坡，狡黠而热忱的怪老头。天空中有以他名字命名的小行星，火星上有向他作品致敬的火山口。他是斯皮尔伯格、史蒂芬金的缪斯。他去世时美国总统亲自致悼词。如今，他离开我们八年了。来看看他笔下的世界，和我们身处的世界，有着怎样可悲又可叹的相似？

Wide Sargasso Sea, a masterpiece of modern fiction, was Jean Rhys’s return to the literary center stage. She had a startling early career and was known for her extraordinary prose and haunting women characters. With Wide Sargasso Sea, her last and best-selling novel, she ingeniously brings into light one of fiction’s most fascinating characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. This mesmerizing work introduces us to Antoinette Cosway, a sensual and protected young woman who is sold into marriage to the prideful Mr. Rochester. Rhys portrays Cosway amidst a society so driven by hatred, so skewed in its sexual relations, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind.
A new introduction by the award-winning Edwidge Danticat, author most recently of Claire of the Sea Light, expresses the enduring importance of this work. Drawing on her own Caribbean background, she illuminates the setting’s impact on Rhys and her astonishing work.

Do you remember the 'Climategate' email leak? Or the 'Frankenfoods'- style headlines about the perils of GM foods? What about the time the government sacked its own science advisor for challenging drug laws?

We rely on the media to help us make sense of complicated scientific developments that could transform our world. Yet in the past, media coverage was often less fact than fiction, while scientists frequently either avoided engaging with the press or were actively prevented from doing so. The result? Media hype, political spin and misinformation from those with vested interests.

The Science Media Centre was set up by scientists to change this, encouraging openness and accuracy in science communication. Founding director Fiona Fox has had a front row seat at the major scientific media controversies of the past twenty years and takes us through each crisis, from Climategate to Covid, showing us what happened, how things have changed and why we still need to defend openness as a crucial principle.

With interest in public health at an all-time high, these gripping dispatches from the frontlines of science are essential reading for everyone.

杰瑞·透纳是剑桥大学的古罗马史学家，在社会史、文化史领域颇有建树，不断开拓罗马史研究的新课题和讲述罗马史的新方式。他虚构了马尔库斯·西多尼奥斯·法尔克斯这个角色。法尔克斯是位古罗马大奴隶主，除了奴隶制之外他无法想象有其他的生活方式和社会结构。
《回到罗马做主人》是来自法尔克斯这位“上流人士”关于购买、使用、惩罚、驯养、解放奴隶的“心得”和“建议”，而《回到罗马做主人2》是他关于自己罗马贵族身份的认同、个人价值观以及对当时社会的观察。每章之后透纳附上评注。在虚虚实实、调侃戏谑之间，构建古今对话，令读者轻松地全面了解古罗马奴隶制度与社会结构。

◎ 内容简介
奴隶制是贯穿古罗马的核心制度。对罗马人而言，拥有奴隶是再正常不过的事情。剑桥大学古典历史学教授、专攻罗马史的杰瑞·透纳先生，采用令人耳目一新的历史VR手法，将故纸堆中庞大艰涩的资料幻化成一位活生生的奴隶主马尔库斯·西多尼奥斯·法尔克斯，让他开口告诉我们公元 1—2 世纪罗马帝国中的贵族是如何看待与管理奴隶的。而透纳先生甘愿成为法尔克斯的评述者，为他的建议加上了文化背景、延伸阅读，并且对其中毫无建设性的观点提出不同意见，为感兴趣的读者提供可进一步挖掘的原始素材。

《在其他的世界》中，玛格丽特•阿特伍德讲述了她的一生与科幻小说的关系，从作为儿童读者的孩提时代，到在哈佛大学求学，学习维多利亚时期的科幻小说形式，再到后来成为科幻小说作家和评论家。在这些文章中，玛格丽特•阿特伍德详细讲述了乌托邦、反乌托邦以及自己对这些构建的探索，她还探究并阐明了严格意义上的“科学小说”和“推理小说”的差异。
《在其他的世界》不是一部科幻小说目录，不是一个宏大的理论，也不是一部文学史；它不是一部论著，不是不可修改的，不是详尽无遗的，更不是权威认定的。它不是学术训练的成果，也不是知识体系的卫道者。相反，它是对个体生命与一种或多种文学形式、或替代形式之间关系的探讨，对读者和作家都是如此。

Inspired by a true story, a beautiful novel-in-verse about a child far from home. From award-winning poet Liz Berry.

'Stunning' Megan Hunter, author of The End We Start From
'Ground-breaking' Benjamin Zephaniah
'Exquisite' Hannah Lowe, author of The Kids

'Home's not a place, you must believe this,
but one who names you and means beloved.'

In 1908, Eliza Showell, twelve years old and newly orphaned, boards a ship that will carry her from the slums of the Black Country to rural Nova Scotia. She will never return to Britain or see her family again. She is a Home Child, one of thousands of British children sent to Canada to work as indentured farm labourers and domestic servants.

In Nova Scotia, Eliza's world becomes a place where ordinary things are transfigured into treasures - a red ribbon, the feel of a foal's mane, the sound of her name on someone else's lips. With nothing to call her own, the wild beauty of Cape Breton is the only solace Eliza has - until another Home Child, a boy, comes to the farm and changes everything.

Inspired by the true story of Liz Berry's great aunt, this spellbinding novel in verse is an exquisite portrait of a girl far from home.

'A haunting, deeply compelling narrative' Andrew McMillan, author of physical

'Only Liz Berry could write such raw and staggeringly beautiful poems' Fiona Benson, author of Vertigo & Ghost

Like the work of Cormac McCarthy, Denis Johnson, Richard Ford, and Annie Proulx,
represents a near-perfect confluence of sensibility and setting, and the introduction of an exceptionally powerful and original literary voice. In each of these ten unforgettable stories, Claire Vaye Watkins writes her way fearlessly into the mythology of the American West, utterly reimagining it. Her characters orbit around the region's vast spaces, winning redemption despite - and often because of - the hardship and violence they endure. The arrival of a foreigner transforms the exchange of eroticism and emotion at a prostitution ranch. A prospecting hermit discovers the limits of his rugged individualism when he tries to rescue an abused teenager. Decades after she led her best friend into a degrading encounter in a Vegas hotel room, a woman feels the aftershock. Most bravely of all, Watkins takes on – and reinvents – her own troubled legacy in a story that emerges from the mayhem and destruction of Helter Skelter. Arcing from the sweeping and sublime to the minute and personal, from Gold Rush to ghost town to desert to brothel, the collection echoes not only in its title but also in its fierce, undefeated spirit the motto of her home state.

《宛转环》是青年创作者慕明的首部作品，收录了她自2017年创作以来的《宛转环》《涂色世界》等获奖篇目，也有在2020至2022年间创作和重写的《破境》《铸梦》等新篇目。科技前沿的工作背景，跨学科的阅读趣味，使得这些小说具有开阔的视野和严谨的思维方式，而从科幻、推想等类型创作中提炼的方法将思辨与想象共冶一炉，铸成了故事。这些小说既独立成篇，也通过细致深入的线索勾连，编织出了一个丰富隽永的环形时空。从杳冥上古到当代生活再到极远的未来，故事以不同的书写尺度折射出现实的影子，也因此没有被现实压垮，而是以智识再造真实，以灵巧抵达自由。

At the University of North Carolina, Ronny's made some friends, kept his secrets, survived dorm life, and protected his heart. Until he can't. Ben is in some ways Ronny's opposite; he's big and solid whereas Ronny is small and slight. Ben's at UNC on a football scholarship. Confident, with that easy jock swagger, and an explosive temper always simmering. He has a steady stream of girlfriends. Ben's aware of the overwhelming effects he has on Ronny. It's like a sensation of power. So easy to tease Ronny, throw playful insults, but it all feels somehow loaded. Meanwhile, Ronny's mother has moved to Vegas with her latest husband. Ben's mother is fighting advanced cancer. A bubble forms around the two, as a bubble is tested when the rest of life intervenes. The Dove in the Belly is about the electric, dangerous, sometimes tender but always powerful attraction between two very different boys. But it's also about the full cycles of love and life and how they open in us the twinned capacities for grief and joy.

In this, her bestselling journal, May Sarton writes with keen observation and emotional courage of both inner and outer worlds: a garden, the seasons, daily life in New Hampshire, books, people, ideas—and throughout everything, her spiritual and artistic journey. "I am here alone for the first time in weeks," May Sarton begins this book, "to take up my 'real' life again at last. That is what is strange—that friends, even passionate love,are not my real life, unless there is time alone in which to explore what is happening or what has happened." In this journal, she says, "I hope to break through into the rough, rocky depths,to the matrix itself. There is violence there and anger never resolved. My need to be alone is balanced against my fear of what will happen when suddenly I enter the huge empty silence if I cannot find support there."

In this book, we are closer to the marrow than ever before in May Sarton's writing.
