Know Your Remedies presents a panoramic inquiry into China’s early modern cultural transformation through the lens of pharmacy. In the history of science and civilization in China, pharmacy—as a commercial enterprise and as a branch of classical medicine—resists easy characterization. While China’s long tradition of documenting the natural world through state-commissioned pharmacopeias, known as bencao, dwindled after the sixteenth century, the ubiquitous presence of Chinese pharmacy shops around the world today testifies to the vitality of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Rejecting narratives of intellectual stagnation or an unchanging folk culture, He Bian argues that pharmacy’s history in early modern China can best be understood as a dynamic interplay between elite and popular culture.
Beginning with decentralizing trends in book culture and fiscal policy in the sixteenth century, Bian reveals pharmacy’s central role in late Ming public discourse. Fueled by factional politics in the early 1600s, amateur investigation into pharmacology reached peak popularity among the literati on the eve of the Qing conquest in the mid-seventeenth century. The eighteenth century witnessed a systematic reclassification of knowledge, as the Qing court turned away from pharmacopeia in favor of a demedicalized natural history. Throughout this time, growth in long-distance trade enabled the rise of urban pharmacy shops, generating new knowledge about the natural world.

A gripping work of narrative nonfiction recounting the history of the Dresden Bombing, one of the most devastating attacks of World War II.
On February 13th, 1945 at 10:03 PM, British bombers began one of the most devastating attacks of WWII: the bombing of Dresden. The first contingent killed people and destroyed buildings, roads, and other structures. The second rained down fire, turning the streets into a blast furnace, the shelters into ovens, and whipping up a molten hurricane in which the citizens of Dresden were burned, baked, or suffocated to death.
Early the next day, American bombers finished off what was left. Sinclair McKay’s The Fire and the Darkness is a pulse-pounding work of history that looks at the life of the city in the days before the attack, tracks each moment of the bombing, and considers the long period of reconstruction and recovery. The Fire and the Darkness is powered by McKay’s reconstruction of this unthinkable terror from the points of view of the ordinary civilians: Margot Hille, an apprentice brewery worker; Gisela Reichelt, a ten-year-old schoolgirl; boys conscripted into the Hitler Youth; choristers of the Kreuzkirche choir; artists, shop assistants, and classical musicians, as well as the Nazi officials stationed there.
What happened that night in Dresden was calculated annihilation in a war that was almost over. Sinclair McKay’s brilliant work takes a complex, human, view of this terrible night and its aftermath in a gripping book that will be remembered long after the last page is turned.

A New Program for Graphic Design is the first communication-design textbook expressly of and for the 21st century. Three courses―Typography, Gestalt and Interface―provide the foundation of this book.
Through a series of in-depth historical case studies (from Benjamin Franklin to the Macintosh computer) and assignments that progressively build in complexity, A New Program for Graphic Design serves as a practical guide both for designers and for undergraduate students coming from a range of other disciplines. Synthesizing the pragmatic with the experimental, and drawing on the work of Max Bill, Beatrice Warde, Muriel Cooper and Stewart Brand (among many others),, it builds upon mid- to late-20th-century pedagogical models to convey contemporary design principles in an understandable form for students of all levels―treating graphic design as a liberal art that informs the dissemination of knowledge across all disciplines. For those seeking to understand and shape our increasingly networked world of information, this guide to visual literacy is an indispensable tool.

本書是一扇誘人的窗，讓人窺見文化、時尚與歷史三者如何相互交織，彼此影響。——《華爾街日報》
從完美復刻的軍裝外套，到以老式梭織機織成的復古丹寧褲，從某一點上來看，日本的男裝可說是封存了美式服裝經典風格的時光膠囊。然而，是什麼原因才讓日本在二次大戰後引發如此變遷? 而且，日本生產的美式服裝何以青出於藍，樣貌更勝美國? 日本時尚雜誌如《POPEYE》的編輯細膩與多樣令人驚嘆，但如此獨樹一格的精細樣貌，又是從何演進而來，與美國文化又有什麼連結？
《洋風和魂》以長達六十年的時間跨度，從日本服裝及時尚風格的演進為觀點，有趣且詳盡地剖析文化、時尚與歷史三者在日本各個世代之間如何相互交纏、影響，讓一個在美國本土已然隱隱消逝的衣著傳統，能在日本落地生根，成長茁壯，繼而發展出島國日本獨屬的樣貌，而日本又如何以其追求高度細緻和品質的古老職人傳統，將這個演進過後的美式風格反向輸出西方，進而影響全球。
在抽絲剝繭美國與日本這兩個迥異文化彼此的牽繫之際，《洋風和魂》也逐一從歷史傳統、商業行銷、設計精神、街頭潮流、跨界合作等面向解答這些問題，豐富呈現出現代東西文化風格交流的美妙景象。不論是喜愛日本戰後大眾文化、時尚風格、服裝工藝、雜誌編輯的讀者，皆能在本書中發現驚人且珍貴的資訊與知識。

承接著明治維新以來的崛起，以及大正時代文化的發達。
日本為何走向戰爭中？
一九二六年十二月二十五日，日本進入昭和時代。此時的日本，延續著甲午、日俄戰爭的勝利，逐步走向「大國」的行列，為了在帝國主義的競爭中，保衛本土的安全，因而將防衛線擴大到海外。而滿州——這個物產豐富，又處於日、中、俄三國勢力交會的土地，就成了昭和日本走向戰爭的起點。
同時，在日本國內，由於《明治憲法》的設計，軍人成為獨立於內閣體制之外的獨特群體。使得他們可以在國外進行非法的戰爭活動，在國內運用軍部大臣的人事或暗殺手段，干預內閣政治。並利用大眾媒體，煽動輿論情緒。逐步將日本導向軍國主義國家之路。
本書作者以講論授課的方式，用淺白的文字，為讀者們抽絲剝繭，理解昭和歷史的發展經過，體會任何一件大事的發生，必定會有無數的小徵兆。讀歷史的目的，不僅是在增廣見聞，更是作為思考未來的基礎。日本的這段歷史，也會給台灣的讀者們，帶來許多的的思考與啟發。

This 25th anniversary edition of Steven Levy's classic book traces the exploits of the computer revolution's original hackers -- those brilliant and eccentric nerds from the late 1950s through the early '80s who took risks, bent the rules, and pushed the world in a radical new direction. With updated material from noteworthy hackers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zukerberg, Richard Stallman, and Steve Wozniak, Hackers is a fascinating story that begins in early computer research labs and leads to the first home computers. Levy profiles the imaginative brainiacs who found clever and unorthodox solutions to computer engineering problems. They had a shared sense of values, known as "the hacker ethic," that still thrives today. Hackers captures a seminal period in recent history when underground activities blazed a trail for today's digital world, from MIT students finagling access to clunky computer-card machines to the DIY culture that spawned the Altair and the Apple II.

Amazon.com Exclusive: The Rant Heard Round the World
By Steven Levy

Author Steven Levy When I began researching Hacker s--so many years ago that it’s scary--I thought I’d largely be chronicling the foibles of a sociologically weird cohort who escaped normal human interaction by retreating to the sterile confines of computers labs. Instead, I discovered a fascinating, funny cohort who wound up transforming human interaction, spreading a culture that affects our views about everything from politics to entertainment to business. The stories of those amazing people and what they did is the backbone of Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution .

But when I revisited the book recently to prepare the 25th Anniversary Edition of my first book, it was clear that I had luckily stumbled on the origin of a computer (and Internet) related controversy that still permeates the digital discussion. Throughout the book I write about something I called The Hacker Ethic, my interpretation of several principles implicitly shared by true hackers, no matter whether they were among the early pioneers from MIT’s Tech Model Railroad Club (the Mesopotamia of hacker culture), the hardware hackers of Silicon Valley’s Homebrew Computer Club (who invented the PC industry), or the slick kid programmers of commercial game software. One of those principles was “Information Should Be Free.” This wasn’t a justification of stealing, but an expression of the yearning to know more so one could hack more. The programs that early MIT hackers wrote for big computers were stored on paper tapes. The hackers would keep the tapes in a drawer by the computer so anyone could run the program, change it, and then cut a new tape for the next person to improve. The idea of ownership was alien.
This idea came under stress with the advent of personal computers. The Homebrew Club was made of fanatic engineers, along with a few social activists who were thrilled at the democratic possibilities of PCs. The first home computer they could get their hands on was 1975’s Altair, which came in a kit that required a fairly hairy assembly process. (Its inventor was Ed Roberts, an underappreciated pioneer who died earlier this year.) No software came with it. So it was a big deal when 19-year-old Harvard undergrad Bill Gates and his partner Paul Allen wrote a BASIC computer language for it. The Homebrew people were delighted with Altair BASIC, but unhappy that Gates and Allen charged real money for it. Some Homebrew people felt that their need for it outweighed their ability to pay. And after one of them got hold of a “borrowed” tape with the program, he showed up at a meeting with a box of copies (because it is so easy to make perfect copies in the digital age), and proceeded to distribute them to anyone who wanted one, gratis.
This didn’t sit well with Bill Gates, who wrote what was to become a famous “Letter to Hobbyists,” basically accusing them of stealing his property. It was the computer-age equivalent to Luther posting the Ninety-Five Theses on the Castle Church. Gate’s complaints would reverberate well into the Internet age, and variations on the controversy persist. Years later, when another undergrad named Shawn Fanning wrote a program called Napster that kicked off massive piracy of song files over the Internet, we saw a bloodier replay of the flap. Today, issues of cost, copying and control still rage--note Viacom’s continuing lawsuit against YouTube and Google. And in my own business—journalism--availability of free news is threatening more traditional, expensive new-gathering. Related issues that also spring from controversies in Hackers are debates over the “walled gardens” of Facebook and Apple’s iPad.
I ended the original Hackers with a portrait of Richard Stallman, an MIT hacker dedicated to the principle of free software. I recently revisited him while gathering new material for the 25th Anniversary Edition of Hackers , he was more hard core than ever. He even eschewed the Open Source movement for being insufficiently noncommercial.
When I spoke to Gates for the update, I asked him about his 1976 letter and the subsequent intellectual property wars. “Don’t call it war,” he said. “Thank God we have an incentive system. Striking the right balance of how this should work, you know, there's going to be tons of exploration.” Then he applied the controversy to my own situation as a journalism. “Things are in a crazy way for music and movies and books,” he said. “Maybe magazine writers will still get paid 20 years from now. Who knows? Maybe you'll have to cut hair during the day and just write articles at night.”
So Amazon.com readers, it’s up to you. Those who have not read Hackers, , have fun and be amazed at the tales of those who changed the world and had a hell of time doing it. Those who have previously read and loved Hackers , replace your beat-up copies, or the ones you loaned out and never got back, with this beautiful 25th Anniversary Edition from O’Reilly with new material about my subsequent visits with Gates, Stallman, and younger hacker figures like Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook. If you don’t I may have to buy a scissors--and the next bad haircut could be yours! Read Bill Gates' letter to hobbyists

中國式的「抵禦外侮｣，
從殺中國人開始。
歷史課本不會有的角度I
從「八國聯軍」的角度，來看義和團事件－－
「八國聯軍」一直以來都被視作為中國的國恥，列強侵略的代表作。但為什麼會有「八國聯軍」出現？歷史課本上輕描淡寫地帶過的「天津教案」「庚子拳亂」「德國公使被殺」，實際 上是什麼樣的情形？對歐美各國來說，又代表什麼樣的意義？
本書作者黛安娜•普雷斯頓（Diana Preston）蒐集了來自牛津大學圖書館、大英圖書館、英國國立陸軍博物館、國立海軍博物館；美國胡佛圖書館、美國海軍歷史中心；澳洲的馬歇爾圖書館等重要的研究機構或圖書館所提供，事發當時的外交人員與軍官、眷屬的書信、日記、記錄，從國際事件的角度，還原義和團事件與八國聯軍的始末。
歷史課本不會有的角度II
「義和團事件」，其實是國際人道、衝突事件？
而透過當時外交人員與軍官、眷屬的書信、日記、記錄，本書不但詳實且生動地還原當時這些外國人遭遇的險惡情況（無分老幼老女與身分被大規模攻擊、殘殺等等）也回顧當時中國的基督徒，基於什麼樣的實際與政治需求被認定「不是中國人」，因而遭到大規模的迫害與屠戮。
我們會發現：中國式的抵禦外侮，就從迫害有了其他選擇的中國人開始。再加上各式各樣政治上的、個人的企圖與私慾，以及歐美各國的錯誤判斷，現代根本無法想像的大規模國際人道、衝突事件，荒謬卻又慘絕人寰地在近代中國上演，進而引發各國雖然互相對立，但被作者界定為「聯合國維安行動雛形」的「八國聯軍」。
歷史課本不會有的角度III
一百二十年後，「義和團事件」真的過去了嗎？
二○二○年將是「義和團事件」的一二○週年。一九○○年時，任職大清海關總稅務司的愛爾蘭人羅伯・赫德（Sir Robert Hart）曾經認為「西元二千年的中國，將會跟一九〇〇年的中國，大不相同！」這會是真的嗎？
事實上，透過作者的梳理與回顧，我們會發現：一九○○年後，義和團仍持續受到多方肯定，其中不但包括中共政府及其重要人物（如周恩來），就連被視為中華民國國父的孫中山也曾公開肯定義和團的「愛國情操」。
