The first sleep book by a leading scientific expert—Professor Matthew Walker, Director of UC Berkeley’s Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab—reveals his groundbreaking exploration of sleep, explaining how we can harness its transformative power to change our lives for the better.
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life—eating, drinking, and reproducing—the purpose of sleep remained elusive.
An explosion of scientific discoveries in the last twenty years has shed new light on this fundamental aspect of our lives. Now, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker gives us a new understanding of the vital importance of sleep and dreaming. Within the brain, sleep enriches our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming mollifies painful memories and creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge to inspire creativity.
Walker answers important questions about sleep: how do caffeine and alcohol affect sleep? What really happens during REM sleep? Why do our sleep patterns change across a lifetime? How do common sleep aids affect us and can they do long-term damage? Charting cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and synthesizing decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood, and energy levels; regulate hormones; prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes; slow the effects of aging; increase longevity; enhance the education and lifespan of our children, and boost the efficiency, success, and productivity of our businesses. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book

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.

The definitive inside story of WeWork, its audacious founder, and what its epic unraveling says about a financial system drunk on the elixir of Silicon Valley innovation—from the Wall Street Journal correspondents (recently featured in the WeWork Hulu documentary) whose scoop-filled reporting hastened the company’s downfall.
WeWork would be worth $10 trillion, more than any other company in the world. It wasn’t just an office space provider. It was a tech company—an AI startup, even. Its WeGrow schools and WeLive residences would revolutionize education and housing. One day, mused founder Adam Neumann, a Middle East peace accord would be signed in a WeWork. The company might help colonize Mars. And Neumann would become the world’s first trillionaire.
This was the vision of Neumann and his primary cheerleader, SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son. In hindsight, their ambition for the company, whose primary business was subletting desks in slickly designed offices, seems like madness. Why did so many intelligent people—from venture capitalists to Wall Street elite—fall for the hype? And how did WeWork go so wrong?
In little more than a decade, Neumann transformed himself from a struggling baby clothes salesman into the charismatic, hard-partying CEO of a company worth $47 billion—on paper. With his long hair and feel-good mantras, the six-foot-five Israeli transplant looked the part of a messianic truth teller. Investors swooned, and billions poured in.
Neumann dined with the CEOs of JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, entertaining a parade of power brokers desperate to get a slice of what he was selling: the country’s most valuable startup, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a generation-defining moment.
Soon, however, WeWork was burning through cash faster than Neumann could bring it in. From his private jet, sometimes clouded with marijuana smoke, he scoured the globe for more capital. Then, as WeWork readied a Hail Mary IPO, it all fell apart. Nearly $40 billion of value vaporized in one of corporate America’s most spectacular meltdowns.
Peppered with eye-popping, never-before-reported details, The Cult of We is the gripping story of careless and often absurd people—and the financial system they have made.

A brain scientist's journey from a debilitating stroke to full recovery becomes an inspiring exploration of human consciousness and its possibilities
On the morning of December 10, 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven-year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist, experienced a massive stroke when a blood vessel exploded in the left side of her brain. A neuroanatomist by profession, she observed her own mind completely deteriorate to the point that she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life, all within the space of four brief hours. As the damaged left side of her brain--the rational, grounded, detail- and time-oriented side--swung in and out of function, Taylor alternated between two distinct and opposite realties: the euphoric nirvana of the intuitive and kinesthetic right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace; and the logical, sequential left brain, which recognized Jill was having a stroke, and enabled her to seek help before she was lost completely.
In My Stroke of Insight , Taylor shares her unique perspective on the brain and its capacity for recovery, and the sense of omniscient understanding she gained from this unusual and inspiring voyage out of the abyss of a wounded brain. It would take eight years for Taylor to heal completely. Because of her knowledge of how the brain works, her respect for the cells composing her human form, and most of all an amazing mother, Taylor completely repaired her mind and recalibrated her understanding of the world according to the insights gained from her right brain that morning of December 10th.
Today Taylor is convinced that the stroke was the best thing that could have happened to her. It has taught her that the feeling of nirvana is never more than a mere thought away. By stepping to the right of our left brains , we can all uncover the feelings of well-being and peace that are so often sidelined by our own brain chatter. A fascinating journey into the mechanics of the human mind, My Stroke of Insight is both a valuable recovery guide for anyone touched by a brain injury, and an emotionally stirring testimony that deep internal peace truly is accessible to anyone, at any time. Questions for Jill Bolte Taylor Amazon.com: Your first reaction when you realized what was happening to your body was one you would expect: "Oh my gosh, I'm having a stroke!" Your second, though, was a little more surprising: "Wow, this is so cool!" What could be cool about a stroke? Taylor: I grew up to study the brain because I have a brother who is only 18 months older than I am. He was very different in the way he perceived experiences and then chose to behave. As a result, I became fascinated with the human brain and how it creates our perception of reality. He was eventually diagnosed with the brain disorder schizophrenia, and I dedicated my career to the postmortem investigation of the human brain in an attempt to understand, at a biological level, what are the differences between my brain and my brothers brain. On the morning of the stroke, I realized that my brain was no longer functioning like a "normal" brain and this insight into my brother's reality excited me. I was fascinated to intimately understand what it might be like on the inside for someone who would not be diagnosed as normal. Through the eyes of a curious scientist, this was an absolutely rare and fascinating experience for me to witness the breakdown of my own mind. Amazon.com: What did you learn about the brain from your stroke and your recovery that your scientific training hadn't prepared you for? Taylor: My scientific training did not teach me anything about the human spirit and the value of compassion. I had been trained as a scientist, not as a clinician. I can only hope that we are teaching our future physicians about compassion in medicine, and I know that some medical schools, including the Indiana University School of Medicine, have created a curriculum with this intention. My training as a scientist, however, did provide me with a roadmap to how the body and brain work. And although I lost my left cognitive mind that thinks in language, I retained my right hemisphere that thinks in pictures. As a result, although I could not communicate with the external world, I had an intuitive understanding about what I needed to do in order to create an environment in which the cells in my brain could be happy and healthy enough that they could regain their function. In addition, because of my training, I had an innate trust in the ability of my brain to be able to recover itself and my mother and I respected the organ by listening to it. For example, when I was tired, I allowed my brain to sleep, and when I was fresh and capable of focusing my attention, we gave me age-appropriate toys and tools with which to work. Amazon.com: Your stroke affected functions in your left brain, leaving you to what you call the "la-la land" of your right hemisphere. What was it like to live in your right brain, and then to rebuild your left? Taylor: When the cells in my left brain became nonfunctional because they were swimming in a pool of blood, they lost their ability to inhibit the cells in my right hemisphere. In my right brain, I shifted into the consciousness of the present moment. I was in the right here, right now awareness, with no memories of my past and no perception of the future. The beauty of La-la land (my right hemisphere experience of the present moment) was that everything was an explosion of magnificent stimulation and I dwelled in a space of euphoria. This is great way to exist if you don't have to communicate with the external world or care whether or not you have the capacity to learn. I found that in order for me to be able to learn anything, however, I had to take information from the last moment and apply it to the present moment. When my left hemisphere was completely nonfunctional early on, it was impossible for me to learn, which was okay with me, but I am sure it was frustrating for those around me. A simple example of this was trying to put on my shoes and socks. I eventually became physically capable of putting my shoes and socks on, but I had no ability to understand why I would have to put my socks on before my shoes. To me they were simply independent actions that were not related and I did not have the cognitive ability to figure out the appropriate sequencing of the events. Over time, I regained the ability to weave moments back together to create an expanse of time, and with this ability came the ability to learn methodically again. Life in La-la land will always be just a thought away, but I am truly grateful for the ability to think with linearity once again. Amazon.com: What can we learn about our brains and ourselves from your experience, even if we haven't lived through the kind of brain trauma you have? Taylor: I learned that I have much more say about what goes on between my ears than I was ever taught and I believe that this is true for all of us. I used to understand that I had the ability to stop thinking about one thing by consciously choosing to preoccupy my mind with thinking about something else. But I had no idea that it only took 90 seconds for me to have an emotional circuit triggered, flush a physiological response through my body and then flush completely out of me. We can all learn that we can take full responsibility for what thoughts we are thinking and what emotional circuitry we are feeling. Knowing this and acting on this can lead us into feeling a wonderful sense of well-being and peacefulness. Amazon.com: You are the "Singin' Scientist" for Harvard's Brain Bank (just as you were before your stroke). Could you tell us about the Brain Bank (in song or not)? Taylor: There is a long-term shortage of brain tissue donated for research into the severe mental illnesses. Most people dont realize that when you sign the back of your license as an organ donor, the brain is not included. If you would like to donate your brain for research, you must contact a brain bank directly. There is also a shortage of "normal control" tissue for research. The bottom line reality is that if there were more tissue available for research, then more scientists would be dedicating their careers to the study of the severe mental illnesses and we would have more answers about what is going on with these disorders. The numbers of mentally ill individuals in our society are staggering. The most serious and disabling conditions affect about 6 percent--or one in 17--adults and 9-13 percent of children in the United States. Half of all lifetime conditions of mental illness start by age 14 years, and three-fourths by age 24 years. For more information about brain donation to the Harvard brain bank, please call 1-800-BRAINBANK or visit them at: www.brainbank.mclean.org If you would like to hear me sing the brain bank jingle, please visit www.drjilltaylor.com!

玛格丽特27岁，是个很普通的女孩。她喜欢动物，喜欢阳光灿烂的天气，也喜欢她的小猫发出的呼噜呼噜的声音。从外表上，你看不出她和其他女孩的区别，但玛格丽特的确与众不同。她不喜欢生活里的变动，上下班要走一样的路，甚至早餐都要吃一样的东西。她对人群和噪声格外敏感。她很难听懂同事开的玩笑，也不理解其他人委婉的表达。她不知道自己为什么和其他人不同，直到有一天，她知道了一个名词——孤独症。

《梵高》是荷兰漫画家芭芭拉•施托克所绘著图像小说，也是荷兰被翻译最多的图像小说。
画家文森特•梵高一生的起伏，至今仍是人们不竭的灵感源泉。在这个故事中，漫画家芭芭拉•施托克带领读者一窥梵高居住在法国南部的岁月，同时也是其生命中的最后几年。
这是一个紧凑的时期：梵高在阿尔勒的梦想，是为自己和他的艺术界朋友们成立一间“艺术家之家”。但是，在一次精神病发中，他突然彻底迷失了自己，病情在不光彩的割耳事件后达到高潮，也使得这个梦想分崩离析。
梵高对对他的专业充满了热情。他对成功、挫折和有意义的人生的想法，在我们充斥着个人主义和经济思想的当代，型塑了一种有趣的抗衡。

我很怕魚，非常怕魚，當我看見魚類的眼神時，我確定牠們正在吞噬我的靈魂。－
台灣首次以魚類恐懼症為靈感發想的原創故事！
「Ichthyophobia」這複雜的英文字最直接的翻譯就是「魚類恐懼症」。
全書沒有任何對白的《怕魚的男人》，是近年在國際獲得眾多矚目的傑出青年漫畫家李隆杰的半自傳式最新代表作。共收錄了：《信仰-Faith》、《愛情-Love》、《狩獵-Hunt》、《決鬥-Duel》、《威脅-Threat》、《逃亡-Escape》和《安息-Rest in peace》七篇在《亞細亞原創誌》長達兩年的精彩連載內容。在每一回精彩的人魚大戰故事背後，其實都隱藏著一位憂鬱青年、以極細膩的、認真的、深情的透過漫畫的每一格畫面傳達屬於他內心深處的刻骨銘心感受。
《怕魚的男人》中，作者放棄了電腦繪圖，維持最純粹的手繪方式，每一格充滿強烈戲劇張力的畫面，都是作者一筆一畫在一張張畫紙上淬鍊出的動人精華。全書完美展現了屬於台灣漫畫原創作者的堅毅個性和藝術魅力。

兩位作者繼《灣仔畫當年》後，再次攜手合作，寫成《深水埗畫當年》。深水埗處於新舊交替之間，建築物結構獨特：李鄭屋古墓、主教山配水庫等，別樹一幟；宗教團體建樹良多，惠澤萬民；學校春風化雨，作育菁莪；商舖交易頻繁，價廉物美。兩位作者考察經年，走訪深水埗每個角落，運用圖文做城市速寫，展示古老照片，結合有趣故事，成果豐碩。兩位作者在瞬息萬變的香港城市中，捕捉事物變化，與讀者領略風土人情，趣味無窮。

Nothing is more inspiring than a big vision that becomes a triumphant, new reality. Think of how the Empire State Building went from a sketch to the jewel of New York’s skyline in twenty-one months, or how Apple’s iPod went from a project with a single employee to a product launch in eleven months.
These are wonderful stories. But most of the time big visions turn into nightmares. Remember Boston’s “Big Dig”? Almost every sizeable city in the world has such a fiasco in its backyard. In fact, no less than 92% of megaprojects come in over budget or over schedule, or both. The cost of California’s high-speed rail project soared from $33 billion to $100 billon—and won’t even go where promised. More modest endeavors, whether launching a small business, organizing a conference, or just finishing a work project on time, also commonly fail. Why?
Understanding what distinguishes the triumphs from the failures has been the life’s work of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg, dubbed “the world’s leading megaproject expert.” In How Big Things Get Done, he identifies the errors in judgment and decision-making that lead projects, both big and small, to fail, and the research-based principles that will make you succeed with yours. For example:
• Understand your odds. If you don’t know them, you won’t win.
• Plan slow, act fast. Getting to the action quick feels right. But it’s wrong.
• Think right to left. Start with your goal, then identify the steps to get there.
• Find your Lego. Big is best built from small.
• Be a team maker. You won’t succeed without an “us.”
• Master the unknown unknowns. Most think they can’t, so they fail. Flyvbjerg shows how you can.
• Know that your biggest risk is you.
Full of vivid examples ranging from the building of the Sydney Opera House, to the making of the latest Pixar blockbusters, to a home renovation in Brooklyn gone awry, How Big Things Get Done reveals how to get any ambitious project done—on time and on budget.

胡金铨为何写老舍？
胡金铨研究老舍的前因后果，在其生前唯一口述自传《胡金铨武侠电影作法》中有所交代。他喜欢看老舍的小说，在为导演处女作《大地儿女》创作剧本时，“有小部分是从老舍的《火葬》中获得灵感的”，而且“从《四世同堂》也拿了一部分过来”。胡金铨还曾想过和李翰祥一起，将《四世同堂》拍成电影，可惜碍于原著的篇幅没能拍成。
胡金铨真正动笔做老舍研究，则源于一个偶然的契机。他看到香港杂志《明报月刊》上刊出有关老舍的文章，反馈给总编辑胡菊人说：“这文章很多错处。”胡总编趁势向胡导演邀稿，于是胡金铨在《明报月刊》上开了连载专栏来讲老舍生平和创作，而后集结成书即为《老舍和他的作品》。
除了对老舍作品的喜爱带来动力外，“写这些文章还有一个理由，那是因为老舍自杀而死，但当中的经过不太清楚，我想了解真相，所以执笔写那些文章。”不过胡金铨对老舍人生的记述，包含的是老舍的出生、求学、写作、异国辗转、回国教书及至抗战时主持“文协”的经历，尚未涉及到老舍去世的六十年代，个中原因今日已不得而知，但从其对老舍个性和处世哲学的总结中，我们也许能对胡金铨未解答的疑问有所领会。
◇◆◇
胡金铨语录
“老舍的作品最接近北京的劳苦大众，豆汁儿是北京劳苦大众的食品（很多有钱的北京人不喝）。根据我的理论：能喝豆汁儿才能体会出老舍作品里的趣味。”
“‘小窝头’象征老舍的一生，没落贵族，苦读成名，文艺斗士，入庙堂，投湖自尽。”
“北京小市民的特点是本分、窝囊、有正义感，但好耍小心眼、自私、好面子，在适当的情形下也帮助别人。做事任劳任怨，但无进取心。无论在哪方面都没有惊人的成就，可也不作大恶。老舍具备了这些特性。”

这本老舍专著也可用作老舍研究资料（生平、创作、翻译研究）用。对1970年代以前之欧美日研究专著与翻译之评介，甚为宝贵，且是早期从文学价值来评论老舍的少数好著述。
——王润华（前新加坡作家协会会长），《老舍小说新论》
在海内外众多研究老舍的著作中，著名武侠片导演胡金铨1977年所写的《老舍和他的作品》 是很特殊的一本。因为文学家评论电影素来并不稀罕，而反过来电影家研究文学并能著书立说的就不多见了。这两位文艺大家虽年纪相隔了一代，但因都是地道的北京人，文字中多少都有些相似的幽默爽朗之气。胡金铨说，要想具备研究老舍的资格，首先得能喝“豆汁儿”。老舍的作品最接近北京的劳苦大众，而“豆汁儿”是北京劳苦大众的食品，能喝“豆汁儿”才能明白他的“哏”，体会出老舍作品里的趣味。其次，“研究老舍，还必须知道仿膳的‘小窝头’不是栗子面做的”。1950年5月北京“文代会”期间，老舍曾在北海仿膳给与会代表讲慈禧和栗子面小窝头的故事。胡金铨根据后来公布的菜谱写了这句话，其潜台词就是说，小窝头这东西虽据传慈禧曾经吃过，1925年赵仁斋在北海创办仿膳时也卖过它，可终究并非什么金贵的稀罕物。然而1955年仿膳被收归国有，次年10月1日在国庆招待外宾的晚宴上，仿膳提供了四千个小窝头，让它一时扬名海外。由此，胡金铨不无感慨地写道：“‘小窝头’象征老舍的一生，没落贵族，苦读成名，文艺斗士，入庙堂，投湖自尽。”
——沙丹（中国电影资料馆电影策展人），《幕味：重访影史与策展实践》
豆汁儿叫他难忘。他曾经研究过老舍，写过《老舍和他的作品》。梁实秋说，胡在书中一开头就写，不能喝豆汁儿的人算不得是真正的北平人。真是地道北平人才说得出这样的话。
胡金铨写老舍不是无缘无故的。其间的连接点，当然是故乡北京。北岛在洛杉矶认识他，发现他能说一口地道的京片子，“那是没有经过革命风暴污染的京片子，会让人唤起一种比乡愁更加悠远的记忆。”
说到故乡北京，他的感情却颇为复杂。在《他乡与故乡》中他写道：“也是在‘旧社会’，有这么个说法：世界上有两个都市是‘流沙’，就是北京和巴黎；只要你在这两地方住上几年，就不想搬了。说北京和巴黎像‘流沙’，是形容这两个都市迷人的地方，要慢慢地体会，时间长了，你就爱上她了。越陷越深，终于老死斯土。这种说法是对‘外地人’而言，像我这种在北京土生士长的人，并没有这种感觉，而且很厌倦那种死气沉沉的环境，时时想冲出去。”他冲了出去，这一出去故乡就成为天涯，远隔着千山万水。他从此没有回来过。晚年有人问他乡关何处，他或曰香港或曰洛杉矶，单单不提北京。伤心世变，北京，还是形诸梦寐的好。
——周成林（独立作家、译者，译有《时光中的时光：塔可夫斯基日记》），《胡不归——胡金铨二三事》

※内容简介※
老舍和胡金铨都是老北京人，都爱好书画曲艺、民俗文化。作为同乡，胡金铨喜欢读老舍的小说，创作电影时也曾受其影响。1973年到1975年，胡金铨在《明报月刊》上发表了研究老舍的系列文章，而后集结成书，即为《老舍和他的作品》。
本书是胡金铨对老舍生平、作品和文艺活动的梳理，从老舍的出生起笔，详述其求学、写作、异国辗转、回国教书及至抗战时主持“文协”的经历。胡金铨认为老舍具有北京小市民的特点——“安于现状，不做过激的事情”，他称之为“北京（骨泉）人”。这种个性影响了老舍的为人处世，也在其笔下人物的身上得到展现。书中所引资料包括老舍的自述、友人的回忆和其他发表于世界各地报刊上的文章等等，由胡金铨走访英美大学图书馆调查整理而成。
擅拍武侠电影的胡金铨，银幕内外都处于行走的旅途中，老舍在其笔下也有了漂泊者的形象。以故乡北京为连接点，“走”成为这两位大师人生轨迹的关键词，其间的艺术影响和气韵传承可以借本书一窥。

A look deep inside the new Silicon Valley, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Everything Store
Ten years ago, the idea of getting into a stranger's car, or a walking into a stranger's home, would have seemed bizarre and dangerous, but today it's as common as ordering a book online. Uber and Airbnb have ushered in a new era: redefining neighborhoods, challenging the way governments regulate business, and changing the way we travel.
In the spirit of iconic Silicon Valley renegades like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, another generation of entrepreneurs is using technology to upend convention and disrupt entire industries. These are the upstarts, idiosyncratic founders with limitless drive and an abundance of self-confidence. Led by such visionaries as Travis Kalanick of Uber and Brian Chesky of Airbnb, they are rewriting the rules of business and often sidestepping serious ethical and legal obstacles in the process.
The Upstarts is the definitive story of two new titans of business and a dawning age of tenacity, conflict and wealth. In Brad Stone's riveting account of the most radical companies of the new Silicon Valley, we discover how it all happened and what it took to change the world.

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/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.
