这个世界可以没有伟人吗？可以。但已不是这个世界。新千年刚刚开启，翻开历史，回首往昔，并不是每个人期望不朽的梦想都能如愿。在政治，经济，科技，文化等方面为人类文明的进步做出贡献的人永远值得我们赞美和学习。杜牧是晚唐时期著名的诗人，他阅历丰富，著作颇丰。本书对其一生的轨迹做了细致而清晰的勾画，是杜牧传记类书中不可不得的佳作。

The long-awaited retrospective from the internationally renowned film director celebrated for his visually lush and atmospheric films. Wong Kar Wai is known for his romantic and stylish films that explore—in saturated, cinematic scenes—themes of love, longing, and the burden of memory. His style reveals a fascination with mood and texture, and a sense of place figures prominently. In this volume, the first on his entire body of work, Wong Kar Wai and writer John Powers explore Wong's complete oeuvre in the locations of some of his most famous scenes.
The book is structured as six conversations between Powers and Wong (each in a different locale), including the restaurant where he shotIn the Mood for Love and the snack bar where he shot Chungking Express. Discussing each of Wong's eleven films—fromAs Tears Go By and Days of Being Wild to 2046 and The Grandmaster—the conversations also explore Wong's trademark themes of time, nostalgia, and beauty, and their roots in his personal life.
The first book by Wong Kar Wai, and the first comprehensive look at his oeuvre, this stunning, lavishly illustrated volume is as evocative as walking into one of Wong's lush films. With more than 250 photographs and film stills and an opening critical essay by Powers, this volume is poised to become the film book of the year.

Masters of Doom is the amazing true story of the Lennon and McCartney of video games: John Carmack and John Romero. Together, they ruled big business. They transformed popular culture. And they provoked a national controversy. More than anything, they lived a unique and rollicking American Dream, escaping the broken homes of their youth to produce the most notoriously successful game franchises in history— Doom and Quake — until the games they made tore them apart. This is a story of friendship and betrayal, commerce and artistry—a powerful and compassionate account of what it's like to be young, driven, and wildly creative.

The definitive story of Amazon.com, one of the most successful companies in the world, and of its driven, brilliant founder, Jeff Bezos.
Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now. Brad Stone enjoyed unprecedented access to current and former Amazon employees and Bezos family members, giving readers the first in-depth, fly-on-the-wall account of life at Amazon. Compared to tech's other elite innovators--Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg--Bezos is a private man. But he stands out for his restless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing.
THE EVERYTHING STORE will be the revealing, definitive biography of the company that placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet and forever changed the way we shop and read.

阿伦·艾弗森，这名NBA历史上最伟大的传奇球星之一，再度以一部纪录片的形式回归到球迷的视线。
这部最新的个人纪录片，被简单地命名为《艾弗森影片》（IversonTheMovie）。5月17日，纪录片在美国电视台CBS旗下的Showtime纪录片频道上映，将持续播出一个月。
与其他大牌球星的纪录片不同，艾弗森选择了一位名不经传的导演，Zatella Beatty。而这部片子正是她的导演处女作。“当我开始接触电影创作的时候，我无法确定最终的产品会是什么样的，后来我为艾弗森选择了相对平和的叙事方式，但是效果却很震撼和强大。”Zatella Beatty在接受《赫芬顿邮报》电话采访时说道。
众所周知，艾弗森是NBA赛场上最具争议的球星之一。仅身高1米83的艾弗森，凭借着惊人的天赋和意志力，1996年以状元身份加入NBA。整个职业生涯中，他曾四次荣膺得分王，11次入选全明星，并夺得2000-2001赛季常规赛的MVP奖杯。
在到达职业生涯巅峰之后，因无数次受伤，艾弗森也曾跌入了谷底。2006-2007赛季，在为76人效力了10年之后，艾弗森先后辗转于孟菲斯、费城、土耳其等地，渐渐走向职业生涯的下坡路。2013年，他最终以伤病为由黯然退役。
此外，赛场之外的种种丑闻，也让艾弗森在事业与家庭两方面受到了双重打击。因此，外界对这位前NBA巨星的评价，往往是带有保留的夸奖。
“在纪录片中，我们试图把过去十二多年的重要时刻串起来，让人们了解他在赛场内外所作出的决定。”Zatella Beatty说道，片子将呈现那些重要事件的事实，为球迷和质疑者还原一位真实的艾弗森。
