"There is a difference between Exercise and Training. Exercise is physical activity for its own sake, a workout done for the effect it produces today, during the workout or right after you're through. Training is physical activity done with a longer-term goal in mind, the constituent workouts of which are specifically designed to produce that goal. Training is how athletes prepare to win, and how all motivated people approach physical preparation. Practical Programming for Strength Training 3rd Edition addresses the topic of Training. It details the mechanics of the process, from the basic physiology of adaptation to the specific programs that apply these principles to novice, intermediate, and advanced lifters..."--Publisher description.

In an epic story that spans 150 years and continues to the present day, Iris Chang tells of a people’s search for a better life—the determination of the Chinese to forge an identity and a destiny in a strange land and, often against great obstacles, to find success. She chronicles the many accomplishments in America of Chinese immigrants and their descendents: building the infrastructure of their adopted country, fighting racist and exclusionary laws, walking the racial tightrope between black and white, contributing to major scientific and technological advances, expanding the literary canon, and influencing the way we think about racial and ethnic groups. Interweaving political, social, economic, and cultural history, as well as the stories of individuals, Chang offers a bracing view not only of what it means to be Chinese American, but also of what it is to be American.

In this inspiring coming-of-age memoir, a world-renowned astrophysicist emerges from an impoverished childhood and crime-filled adolescence to ascend through the top ranks of research physics.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY KIRKUS REVIEWS •“You’ll encounter one extraordinary turn of events after another, as the extraordinary chess player, puzzle solver, and occasional grifter works his way from grinding poverty and deep despair to worldwide acclaim as a physicist.”—Bill Nye, CEO of The Planetary Society
Navigating poverty, violence, and instability, a young James Plummer had two guiding stars—a genius IQ and a love of science. But a bookish nerd is a soft target, and James faced years of bullying and abuse. As he struggled to survive his childhood in some of the country’s toughest urban neighborhoods in New Orleans, Houston, and LA, and later in the equally poor backwoods of Mississippi, he adopted the persona of “gangsta nerd”—dealing weed in juke joints while winning state science fairs with computer programs that model Einstein’s theory of relativity.
Once admitted to the elite physics PhD program at Stanford University, James found himself pulled between the promise of a bright future and a dangerous crack cocaine habit he developed in college. With the encouragement of his mentor and the sole Black professor in the physics department, James confronted his personal demons as well as the entrenched racism and classism of the scientific establishment. When he finally seized his dream of a life in astrophysics, he adopted a new name, Hakeem Muata Oluseyi, to honor his African ancestors.
Alternately heartbreaking and hopeful, A Quantum Life narrates one man’s remarkable quest across an ever-expanding universe filled with entanglement and choice.

《亚洲周刊》2020年十大小说 华语文学的惊喜收获
王德威×王安忆 倾力推荐 “黎紫书为当代马华文学注入几分少见的温情”
《流俗地》以马来西亚锡都，被居民喊作“楼上楼”的小社会拉开序幕。讲述其中市井小民的俗务俗事，迂回曲折的情节，仿佛召唤生命中至关重要的小事。
在“楼上楼”的他们如风中之烛，看似脆弱实则强韧，一旦离开，便流落于人海各自漂流；仿佛走的那一日也意味着困境已渡，人生到了宽敞地，再不需要人相濡以沫。作者融合热带国度的风土民情、政治时局，人们追忆往事，每翻开一页象是自己被时光推到了局外，旁观着当年的自己。
这里的雨下得频繁，人生不少重要的事好像都是在雨中发生。那些记忆如今被掀开来感觉依然湿淋淋，即便干了，也像泡了水的书本，纸张全荡起波纹，难以平复。
马来锡都世俗小城里的平淡生活，数十年历史深处的一众卑微生命。
个人命运的创伤与徙家流落，不同族群关于各自民族的身份认同与情感交融。每一种悲凉的生存底色中，都高昂着人性的倔强。每一个个体的浮沉，都渗透着作者对历史饱含关怀的回望，对现实政治有距离的观望，对海外华人民族身份的复杂情结。

A fascinating, thought-provoking journey into our built environment

Modern humans are an indoor species. We spend 90 percent of our time inside, shuttling between homes and offices, schools and stores, restaurants and gyms. And yet, in many ways, the indoor world remains unexplored territory. For all the time we spend inside buildings, we rarely stop to consider: How do these spaces affect our mental and physical well-being? Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors? Our productivity, performance, and relationships?

In this wide-ranging, character-driven book, science journalist Emily Anthes takes us on an adventure into the buildings in which we spend our days, exploring the profound, and sometimes unexpected, ways that they shape our lives. Drawing on cutting-edge research, she probes the pain-killing power of a well-placed window and examines how the right office layout can expand our social networks. She investigates how room temperature regulates our cognitive performance, how the microbes hiding in our homes influence our immune systems, and how cafeteria design affects what—and how much—we eat.

Along the way, Anthes takes readers into an operating room designed to minimize medical errors, a school designed to boost students’ physical fitness, and a prison designed to support inmates’ psychological needs. And she previews the homes of the future, from the high-tech houses that could monitor our health to the 3D-printed structures that might allow us to live on the Moon.

The Great Indoors provides a fresh perspective on our most familiar surroundings and a new understanding of the power of architecture and design. It's an argument for thoughtful interventions into the built environment and a story about how to build a better world—one room at a time.

The must-read national bestseller that's redefining hospitality and inspiring readers in every industry.

Will Guidara was twenty-six when he took the helm of Eleven Madison Park, a struggling two-star brasserie that had never quite lived up to its majestic room. Eleven years later, EMP was named the best restaurant in the world.
 
How did Guidara pull off this unprecedented transformation? Radical reinvention, a true partnership between the kitchen and the dining room—and memorable, over-the-top, bespoke hospitality. Guidara’s team surprised a family who had never seen snow with a magical sledding trip to Central Park after their dinner; they filled a private dining room with sand, complete with mai-tais and beach chairs, to console a couple with a cancelled vacation. And his hospitality extended beyond those dining at the restaurant to his own team, who learned to deliver praise and criticism with intention; why the answer to some of the most pernicious business dilemmas is to give more—not less; and the magic that can happen when a busser starts thinking like an owner.
 
Today, every business can choose to be a hospitality business—and we can all transform ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences. Featuring sparkling stories of his journey through restaurants, with the industry’s most famous players like Daniel Boulud and Danny Meyer, Guidara urges us all to find the magic in what we do—for ourselves, the people we work with, and the people we serve.

《热什哈尔》记述了乾隆年间被清政府两次镇压的回民哲合忍耶派，以及他们的苏菲导师的故事。
它是非官方的、被禁绝的、底层民众的历史文献。由于残酷的迫害，一身褴褛满心悲愤的回民们选择了拒否，这种拒否在文史上的表现形式就是：不使人读。《热什哈尔》一书主要用阿拉伯文写成，这样便拒绝了汉语世界对之阅读的可能。写成后从未刻版，仅仅在哲合忍耶派回民的一些大学者（阿訇意即学者）中传抄。而作者为了进一步守密，书的后半部又改用波斯文，这样继而拒绝了相当多数的阿訇阅读，因为阿訇中识波斯文的毕竟更少。然而钞本亦极少。
“热什哈尔”一词系阿拉伯文rashah，原义是“泄漏出、出汗”；引伸常为“晶莹、烁亮”。约十世纪的诸苏菲主义（即伊斯兰神秘主义）著作中，有一部《原本生活的露珠.注》，就用了这个词。现在将它的文学含义译为“露珠”。

Electoral autocracies - regimes that adopt democratic institutions but subvert them to rule as dictatorships - have become the most widespread, resilient and malignant non-democracies today. They have consistently ruled over a third of the countries in the world, including geopolitically significant states like Russia, Turkey, Venezuela, Egypt, Indonesia, Nigeria and Pakistan. Challenging conventional wisdom, Popular Dictators shows that the success of electoral authoritarianism is not due to these regimes' superior capacity to repress, bribe, brainwash and manipulate their societies into submission, but is actually a product of their genuine popular appeal in countries experiencing deep political, economic and security crises. Promising efficient, strong-armed rule tempered by popular accountability, elected strongmen attract mass support in societies traumatized by turmoil, dysfunction and injustice, allowing them to rule through the ballot box. Popular Dictators argues that this crisis legitimation strategy makes electoral authoritarianism the most significant threat to global peace and democracy.

The Educated Mind offers a bold and revitalizing new vision for today's uncertain educational system. Kieran Egan reconceives education, taking into account how we learn. He proposes the use of particular "intellectual tools"—such as language or literacy—that shape how we make sense of the world. These mediating tools generate successive kinds of understanding: somatic, mythic, romantic, philosophical, and ironic. Egan's account concludes with practical proposals for how teaching and curriculum can be changed to reflect the way children learn.

"A carefully argued and readable book. . . . Egan proposes a radical change of approach for the whole process of education. . . . There is much in this book to interest and excite those who discuss, research or deliver education."—Ann Fullick, New Scientist

"A compelling vision for today's uncertain educational system."—Library Journal

"Almost anyone involved at any level or in any part of the education system will find this a fascinating book to read."—Dr. Richard Fox, British Journal of Educational Psychology

"A fascinating and provocative study of cultural and linguistic history, and of how various kinds of understanding that can be distinguished in that history are recapitulated in the developing minds of children."—Jonty Driver, New York Times Book Review

Here is the classic, much-read introduction to the craft and history of mathematics by E.T. Bell, a leading figure in mathematics in America for half a century. Men of Mathematics accessibly explains the major mathematics, from the geometry of the Greeks through Newton's calculus and on to the laws of probability, symbolic logic, and the fourth dimension. In addition, the book goes beyond pure mathematics to present a series of engrossing biographies of the great mathematicians -- an extraordinary number of whom lived bizarre or unusual lives. Finally, Men of Mathematics is also a history of ideas, tracing the majestic development of mathematical thought from ancient times to the twentieth century. This enduring work's clear, often humorous way of dealing with complex ideas makes it an ideal book for the non-mathematician.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From Wharton professor and author of the popular One Useful Thing Substack newsletter Ethan Mollick comes the definitive playbook for working, learning, and living in the new age of AI

Something new entered our world in November 2022 — the first general purpose AI that could pass for a human and do the kinds of creative, innovative work that only humans could do previously. Wharton professor Ethan Mollick immediately understood what ChatGPT meant: after millions of years on our own, humans had developed a kind of co-intelligence that could augment, or even replace, human thinking. Through his writing, speaking, and teaching, Mollick has become one of the most prominent and provocative explainers of AI, focusing on the practical aspects of how these new tools for thought can transform our world.

In Co-Intelligence, Mollick urges us to engage with AI as co-worker, co-teacher, and coach. He assesses its profound impact on business and education, using dozens of real-time examples of AI in action. Co-Intelligence shows what it means to think and work together with smart machines, and why it's imperative that we master that skill.

Mollick challenges us to utilize AI's enormous power without losing our identity, to learn from it without being misled, and to harness its gifts to create a better human future. Wide ranging, hugely thought-provoking, optimistic, and lucid, Co-Intelligence reveals the promise and power of this new era.

★城市巨轮运转下，保洁员群体被遮蔽的日常
是谁在维系超级城市的“体面”与“洁净”？这是一群用体力劳作填满超长工作时间的外来务工者，他们在深圳这座包容万象的城市中寻找自己的生存空间，与污渍、垃圾为伴，支撑起城市文明对整洁细节的无限追求。作者张小满的母亲就是城市保洁群体中的一员。他们落脚城市的初衷是如此相似，一路走来的人生又与时代发展的轨迹紧紧捆绑。他们在深圳寻找自己的生存缝隙，有自己的生活圈子，知道如何寻找机会，很清楚自己在整个阶层划分中的地位，用一种贬低自己的语气谈论着他们所做的工作。他们是一个庞大的群体，却总是处在城市生活的边缘，城市的“整洁”“舒适”“便利”几乎与他们无缘。而他们身上所承载的命运本质，其实也映照着绝大多数的我们。
★母与女，“蓝”与“白”，两代人的隔阂与交融
当母亲成为一名城市保洁员后，“我”与母亲重新生活在一起。母亲用批判的眼光观察“我”的生活，而“我”也激烈地回应。但“我”爱母亲，更想理解母亲。“我”试着从了解母亲在超级商场的保洁工作开始去理解她，母亲又为“我”带回非常具体而生动的保洁员群体日常素描，母女二人一起拼贴出这一群体的生存境况。母亲一辈子都是付出体力劳动的蓝领，而“我”则是看似跃入“体面阶层”的白领，母亲向来以此为荣。随着母女二人在记录保洁员群体故事的过程中，“我”得以重新回望自己的来处，越来越感到，自己很多看似努力的行为，看似接触到的圈子，其实不堪一击，“我”与母亲、与保洁员们，一样是无法豁出去的人，我们有共同的来处。而母亲也在这一过程中，颇感悲伤地意识到，苦读成材的子女，最终也不过是在城市生活中勉力维系一份螺丝钉般的工作，稍有不慎，同样会滑至“主流生活”之外。通过保洁员群体的故事，或许我们也能关照自身的处境，对自身的生活有所省视。至于“我”与母亲，两代人之间的真正理解也许永远无法抵达，但记录、书写母亲生活的这一过程，令“我”与母亲比从前任何时候都要信任对方、支持对方。
★梁鸿、陈年喜、黄灯联袂推荐！
【内容简介】：2020年，52岁的母亲从陕南农村来到深圳务工。独立生活十几年后，“我”与母亲在深圳相聚，重新住在一个屋檐下。我们在狭小的房间中争吵，母亲看不惯“我”的花钱方式，“我”难以忍受母亲的生活习惯。我们深陷彼此纠缠、负担和依赖的关系。然而我们彼此相爱，“我”深知母亲的软肋便是对我毫无保留的爱。于是，“我”想理解她。“我”的母亲在矿场、在建筑工地挥洒了年轻的汗水，如今在城市写字楼的几格空间中做保洁员。“我”想记录下母亲的打工史，努力穿梭过她记忆中的生命。母亲的人生为做着螺丝钉般工作的“我”建立起一块生活的“飞地”，让“我”得以喘息、回顾，珍重自己的来处。这是我们母女共同完成的一场写作。

2022年世界歷史協會班特利圖書獎<br />從全球史的角度去詮釋潮州人成功的歷史，驚人深刻，饒有勝意！<br />傳統中國被視為欠缺海洋與殖民影響力的大陸帝國，作者麥柯麗挑戰此一觀點，揭示中國東南地區的經濟擴張，可與歐洲人的海外殖民野心分庭抗禮。<br />【內容說明】<br />在這個始於工業革命、終於經濟大蕭條的故事中，麥柯麗闡述了中國強悍之地的旅外者，如何崛起成為南海商業霸主。她的 重心放在潮州──中國重要海域省分廣東之一角。潮州在海外華人水域中的崛起，是中國與東南亞相互連結的歷史中，驚人的社會發展之一。 麥柯麗追蹤這些潮州人如何在未建立正式統治權威的情況下，卻能在故鄉跟海外擷取海外殖民體系帶來的諸多好處。本書中浮現的畫面，並非是跟西方現代性分流的中國發展，而是兩者在殖民場域內的匯流；這些場域則是現代發展與資本加速積累的關鍵。<br />本書是一份全球脈絡下的地方研究。它將闡明中國東南方、上海、香港與東南亞區域之間交纏的歷史 ；這些東南亞區域是十七世紀後旅外潮人遷徙的目的地，包含暹羅灣上的曼谷與柬埔寨、西婆羅洲、馬來亞南部、新加坡及越南的湄公河三角洲。如同邁可·沃納與班乃迪克特·齊默曼所示，交纏歷史（entangled history）是一種在跨國脈絡中研究個人與機構的研究方法取向。突顯出外國遭遇的複雜性，他們主張文化並非只是從更強大或夠有錢的團體，轉移到更弱勢的團體，或者從「中心」到「邊陲」；而是各方以隱微或深刻的方式相互影響。<br />「明朝末年廣東潮州一帶以多盜聞名，出過林鳳、林道乾等知名海賊。可是十九世紀中葉以後，潮州人卻被公認為擅長貿易，在東南亞以及中國沿海港市都見得到他們投資經營的事業。作者創造了一個『海洋潮州』的概念，從全球史的角度去詮釋潮州人成功的歷史，饒有勝意。」──陳國棟｜中央研究院歷史語言研究所研究員<br />【專業推薦】<br />李仁淵｜中央研究院歷史語言研究所副研究員<br />林滿紅｜中央研究院近代史研究所兼任研究員<br />倪墨杰｜國立政治大學歷史學系助理教授<br />陳一隆｜臺中一中歷史科教師兼任秘書<br />陳國棟｜中央研究院歷史語言研究所研究員<br />蔡偉傑｜國立中正大學歷史學系助理教授<br />蔣竹山｜國立中央大學歷史學研究所副教授<br />【各界讚語】<br />「本書引人入勝之處，不單在於比較中國與西方的經濟發展史，而是以『交纏歷史』的方法把中國東南沿海的經濟發展、海外華人在東南亞的商業活動以及西方帝國主義的擴張這三段歷史連結起來，探究三者互動所產生的密集跨國聯繫。麥柯麗以潮州海域為重心，在全球史的研究框架中進行細緻的社會史分析。本書是把中國歷史與全球歷史結合的典範之作。」──倪墨杰｜國立政治大學歷史學系助理教授<br />「麥柯麗教授對東南亞潮州人的研究不僅是所謂的『海外華人』史，更挑戰我們習慣的思考框架。我們討論歷史常以國家、城市或村落等規模不一的地理界線作為基本單位，或者以『中心-邊陲』來架構空間關係。本書引入『交纏歷史』取向，強調跨地域的交互聯繫以及全球史在地方社群的效應，並且以潮州人的東南亞經驗反省民族國家、殖民主義等從歐洲歷史出發的概念。對全球史、海洋史、東南亞史及台灣史有興趣的讀者，相信都可以從中得到啟發。」──李仁淵｜中央研究院歷史語言研究所副研究員<br />「本書以潮州人在原鄉與海外商貿擴張的歷史互動場景，分析全球歷史，突破中學教科書中臺灣、中國與世界的分域架構。以奠基在同鄉網絡的跨國華人資本主義與移民的敘事，比擬近代西方勢力的擴張，論述其獲取海外經濟的做法成本較低，比以政治軍事殖民的民族國家征服行動來得有效！這樣的理解，不僅擴大了理解形塑當代世界過程的「多重視野」，其歷程亦改變了東南亞與中國自身。本書合適做為中學教材補充，亦可作為學生探究與實作題材。」──陳一隆｜臺中一中歷史科教師兼任秘書<br />「作者廣泛運用了中國、香港、臺灣、英國與新加坡等地所庋藏的檔案文書，鉤沉了這部潮州人擴殖東南亞的幽微歷史。書中引述了十九世紀歐洲人的觀點，認為潮州人向東南亞的擴張與西方勢力在當地的擴張，同樣具有某些殖民計畫的特徵：例如潮州商業菁英榨取海外原物料。並為其產品銷售及資本投資營造了新的海外市場；他們也爭奪當地土著的領地，以便為母國的過剩勞動力提供就業機會。作為一名內亞史研究者，本書的論點讓我聯想到，許多蒙古學者在回顧清代蒙古歷史時，認為蒙古人同時受到滿洲人的政治殖民以及山西商人的經濟殖民，處於雙重殖民的情境。本書所研究的案例可以讓我們注意到近現代中國漢人在關外與海外的擴殖活動的相似性，並且為相關的帝國與殖民研究開展提供更多的比較案例。對於近現代帝國、殖民與移民議題有興趣的讀者，千萬不要錯過本書。」──蔡偉傑｜國立中正大學歷史學系助理教授<br />「麥柯麗以精銳分析與豐厚細節，揭示了出洋潮州人與中南半島之間的交纏歷史。《遙遠的海岸》展現出若欠缺地方觀點，我們將無法全盤掌握區域與全球發展。」──杜贊奇（Prasenjit Duara）｜杜克大學<br />「這本極具說服力的重要著作，大幅改寫歐洲帝國主義高峰之際中國衰微的敘事。麥柯麗展現出在獲取重要土地與資源以維持潮州故里的過程，潮州海域如何在競爭中超越公認更加強大的歐洲對手。」──麥哲維（Steven B· Miles）｜聖路易華盛頓大學<br />「這齣旅外強悍潮州移民的引人入勝大戲，包含了暴力、海寇、鴉片及滔天財富。同時也是一部精采的跨國經濟社會史，寫下中國殖民擴張大軍遭遇的災難與勝利，他們奠定中國人在東南亞掌控權的基礎。麥柯麗的故事極具感染力，色彩豐厚，深具洞見。驚人深刻之作！」──濮德培（Peter Perdue）｜耶魯大學<br />「麥柯麗寫下一部既富細節又見理論重要性的潮州華人研究。她精細追蹤旅外經驗的種種線索，再結合中國土地上發生的歷史事件，為此帝國晚期重要社群的權力結構與經濟演化，提出當前亟需的分析傑作。」──曾小萍（Madeleine Zelin）｜哥倫比亞大學<br />【作者簡介】<br />柯麗人Melissa Macauley）<br />美國西北大學歷史系教授，著有《社會權力與法律文化：中華帝國晚期的訟師》（Social Power and Legal Litigation Masters in Late Imperial China）。<br />【譯者簡介】<br />林玉菁<br />紐約市立大學政治學博士班，劍橋大學印度研究碩士，政大新聞系。曾任職IFRC國際紅十字與紅星月會聯合會美洲辦公室、雲門基金會、北藝大傳統藝術研究中心及國內外NGO組織。現為專職口譯、筆譯。

你是否想过，为什么人人都说暴力不好，它却从未消失？从小老师教我们暴力不对，却又体罚我们；法律禁止杀人，却用死刑惩罚罪犯。到底哪一种才是正义？
从普通人的争吵，到不同组织之间的冲突，再到国与国的战争，暴力可以说无处不在。既然如此，想要在这个世界上生存，只怀有善意行得通吗？暴力又能否用简单的“好”或“坏”来评判呢？
是时候思考暴力为何物，以及如何与它相处了。
萱野稔人用通俗易懂的语言、绵密的逻辑推理，将暴力的本质、道德的力度和缺陷、国家与暴力的关系一一剖析。同时，他还探讨了死刑的正当性，追溯国家的起源，分析黑社会与国家的差异。
这些很大很硬的话题，看似离日常生活有些遥远，但只要一个人还存在于国家当中，受到法律的约束和保护，就不可避免地与这些问题打交道。
读完本书，你原本坚信的是非善恶，可能会被全部颠覆。

本书是作者最重要的代表作，酝酿二十年，三易其稿。正如作者自己所说“我为它而活着，并为写它推迟了我的死亡”。小说诗意地叙述了一个在废纸回收站工作三十五年的打包工汉嘉，他把珍贵的图书从废纸堆中捡出来，藏在家里，抱在胸口。他狂饮啤酒，“嘬糖果似的嘬着”那些“美丽的词句”。这是一个忧伤的故事，爱情的忧伤，文化的忧伤。汉嘉最终将自己打进了废纸包，他乘着那些书籍飞升天堂。

Walking through this park-like area, the memorial appears as a rift in the earth -- a long, polished black stone wall, emerging from and receding into the earth. Approaching the memorial, the ground slopes gently downward, and the low walls emerging on either side, growing out of the earth, extend and converge at a point below and ahead. Walking into the grassy site contained by the walls of this memorial, we can barely make out the carved names upon the memorial's walls. These names, seemingly infinite in number, convey the sense of overwhelming numbers, while unifying these individuals into a whole...
So begins the competition entry submitted in 1981 by a Yale undergraduate for the design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. -- subsequently called "as moving and awesome and popular a piece of memorial architecture as exists anywhere in the world." Its creator, Maya Lin, has been nothing less than world famous ever since. From the explicitly political to the unashamedly literary to the completely abstract, her simple and powerful sculpture -- the Rockefeller Foundation sculpture, the Southern Poverty Law Center Civil Rights Memorial, the Yale Women's Table, Wave Field -- her architechture, including The Museum for African Art and the Norton residence, and her protean design talents have defined her as one of the most gifted creative geniuses of the age.
Boundaries is her first book; an eloquent visual&#47;verbal sketchbook produced with the same inspiration and attention to detail as any of her other artworks. Like her environmental sculptures, it is a site, but one which exists at a remove so that it may comment on the personal and artistic elements that make up those works. In it, sketches, photographs, workbook entries, and original design are held together by a deeply personal text. Boundaries is a powerful literary and visual statement by "a leading public artist." (Holland Carter). It is itself a unique work of art.

An extraordinary book that will dramatically change the way you experience life.Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life， the games we play in business and politics， in the bedroom and on the battlefied -- games with winners and losers， a beginning and an end. Infinite games are more mysterious -- and ultimately more rewarding. They are unscripted and unpredictable; they are the source of true freedom.In this elegant and compelling work， James Carse explores what these games mean， and what they can mean to you.
