代理商:大苹果 DEN TOD üBERLEBEN (SURVIVING DEATH: COMING TO GRIPS WITH THE UNFATHOMABLE)
by WILHELM SCHMID
页数:141    定价:美元   上传日期:2024-3-28
< /td>
英文概要: Surviving death, how do you do that? This is the immediate challenge for anybody who has to keep on living after having lost someone dear to them. It’s helpful to acquaint yourself with some of the phases you are about to move through. A popular method of surviving death is not to talk about it. In his new book, Wilhelm Schmid tries to do the polar opposite.

Because there is no cure for it: for the time being, death continues to be the end point of life for every human being. The only variations are when and how we die. Usually, death comes too soon and leaves a great deal of suffering in its wake. Can this drama be mitigated by the belief that death is not the end of all life? In his new book, Wilhelm Schmid takes a fresh, in-depth look at questions that have plagued humankind for millennia. Such as: Where does a person go when they leave us? Do they begin a new life? Might there really be life after death? How might we imagine it? And can the mere possibility an afterlife offer us solace?

代理商:大苹果 READY TO DIVE: FIVE DECADES OF ADVENTURE
by CURT NEWPORT

< /td>
英文概要: In Ready to Dive, Curt Newport describes his role in some of the most daring and consequential deep ocean search and recovery operations of our time. Newport was there on the front lines and in the trenches, rigging lift lines, piloting underwater vehicles, and dealing with the carnage following both military and civilian plane crashes. Starting with his life as the son of a US Army aviator during various international postings before covering his conflicts with his father during the turbulent 1960s, the book details how he got into the subsea field. In a career lasting nearly fifty years, probing waters deeper than three miles, Newport describes unwinding passenger clothing from submersible propellers during the Air India salvage, recovering tons of volatile fuel–laden solid rocket motor parts from the Space Shuttle Challenger, thumbing through the wallet of a young girl lost during the crash of TWA Flight 800, and deciphering the navigational mystery of the USS Indianapolis. Ready to Dive is a gritty, blunt, and real firsthand subsea account unlike any other. 
 
中文概要:
作者介绍: Curt Newport retired in 2022 after forty-seven years in the underwater profession. During his work with underwater vehicles, he operated Canadian, US, British, and Norwegian vehicles on an international basis, ranging from the Arctic to the “Roaring Forties,” the Persian Gulf, the North Sea, and both sides of the equator in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Overall, he has participated in over 150 undersea operations in water depths down to 5,500 meters (over 3.4 miles). He has supported numerous undersea operations such as the salvage of Air India Flight 182, the Space Shuttle Challenger, the recovery of Liberty Bell 7, TWA Flight 800, the broadcast of live images from the RMS Titanic, and the USS Indianapolis, as well as many classified missions involving the loss of military aircraft.

《對愛的追求:一個兒童性奴隸的回憶錄》
by ANNEKE LUCAS
亚马逊评级: 亚马逊评级 页数:0    定价:24.5 美元   上传日期:2024-3-26
< /td>
英文概要: This memoir invites the reader into the heart and mind of a young Belgian girl as she shares events out of one year of her life, her voice supported by the vocabulary and understanding of the adult author. The child’s circumstances are brutal; she is being sold by a mentally ill mother into a murderous pedophile network. She desperately clings to the belief that in spite of all appearances, true love does exist, and searches for the faintest sign of it in the midst of hell. When her blind love for her mother is transferred onto a charming perpetrator, she experiences romantic passion, but is soon cast into abject betrayal and violence, ultimately leading to her certain demise. In the darkest of circumstances, a near-death experience shows her the truth underlying her phenomenal world, and she is given a glimpse of that great love for which she is so desperately seeking.

Extreme, organized child abuse is horrifying, and often impossible to contemplate. And yet, acknowledging the reality of darkness is the first step towards healing. This account offers both the raw, cold facts as well as the resilience and grace from the victim’s perspective, revealing that the darkest of nightmares is rarely just that, but commensurate with gifts of light. This ten-year old’s journey suggests that heinous suffering can unlock hidden spiritual treasures of transcendence and unconditional love. 

 
中文概要: 這本回憶錄邀請讀者走進一位年輕的比利時女孩的內心和思想,她分享了她一年中的事件,她的聲音得到了成年作者的詞彙和理解的支持。 孩子的處境很殘酷; 她被一位患有精神疾病的母親賣入一個兇殘的戀童癖網絡。 她絕望地堅信,無論表面如何,真愛確實存在,並在地獄中尋找它最微弱的跡象。 當她對母親的盲目愛轉移到一個迷人的施暴者身上時,她經歷了浪漫的激情,但很快就陷入了卑鄙的背叛和暴力,最終導致了她的死亡。 在最黑暗的情況下,一次瀕臨死亡的經歷向她展示了她現象世界背後的真相,並讓她瞥見了她如此拼命尋求的偉大愛情。

極端的、有組織的虐待兒童行為令人震驚,而且往往令人難以想像。 然而,承認黑暗的現實是治癒的第一步。 這個敘述既提供了原始、冷酷的事實,也從受害者的角度展現了堅韌和優雅,揭示了最黑暗的噩夢很少只是這樣,而是與光明的禮物相稱。 這個十歲孩子的旅程表明,令人髮指的苦難可以解開隱藏的超越和無條件的愛的精神寶藏。(Zoe)

作者介绍: Anneke Lucas 是一位作家、演說家、人口販運受害者的倡導者和無條件模型的創建者。 她的作品是基於在被家人賣作兒童性奴隸後倖存下來的長達數十年的治癒之旅的個人經歷。 她透過心理治療、寫作、瑜伽和冥想進行治療,這是她在十年間透過她創立的非營利組織為被監禁者以及監獄內外性販運的倖存者服務的綜合成果。 她分享她自己的治療方法,塑造了她透過無條件模式實現個人和全球進化的訊息,這是她開發的一種模式,並與世界各地的治療師和瑜伽教練合作。

Anneke Lucas is an author, speaker, advocate for human trafficking victims and creator of the Unconditional Model. Her work is based on personal experience of a decades-long healing journey, after surviving being sold by her family as a child sex slave. Her healing through psycho-therapy, writing, yoga and meditation were synthesized during a decade of service with incarcerated populations through the non-profit organization she founded, and with survivors of sex trafficking inside and outside of prisons. Sharing her own healing shaped her message for personal and global evolution through the Unconditional Model, a modality she developed and teaches in workshops with therapists, yoga instructors and providers around the world.

代理商:大苹果 I’D LIKE YOU MORE IF YOU WERE MORE LIKE ME: GETTING REAL ABOUT GETTING CLOSE
《如果你更像我,我会更喜欢你》
by JOHN ORTBERG
亚马逊评级: 亚马逊评级 页数:320    定价:22.95 美元   上传日期:2024-3-23
< /td>
英文概要: I’d Like You More If You Were More like Me takes on one of life’s most important questions: How can I get closer to God and other people?

We were created for deep connections. When people have deep connections, says John Ortberg, they win in life. When they don’t have deep connections, they cannot win in life. I’d Like You More if You Were More like Me offers help in overcoming one of the biggest obstacles to making deep connections: the fact that we’re so different. Different from God and different from each other.

The good news is that connectedness is not based on similarity, but on shared experiences. When one person invites another to share an experience, they’re connected. It can be sharing a beautiful sunset or a meal, having a great conversation over cup of coffee, going for walk, or even teasing somebody. And when we share those same experiences with God, we get closer to him, too. God wants to connect with us―so much that he sent his son to live as a human being. God took on flesh and shared every human experience. So we don’t have to wonder what a close relationship with God looks like anymore.

An intimate relationship with God and other people doesn’t have to be a cliché, it can be a daily way of life. 

 
中文概要: 《如果你更像我,我会更喜欢你》探讨了人生中最重要的问题之一:我怎样才能更接近上帝和其他人?

人类是为建立深厚有意义的人际关系而生的。约翰·奥特伯格说,当人们拥有深厚的关系时,他们就会成为生命的胜利者。当他们没有深厚的关系时,他们就无法在生命中获胜。《如果你更像我,我会更喜欢你》这本书有助于克服建立深厚联系的最大障碍之一:我们是如此不同。与神不同,彼此也不同。

好消息是,联系不是基于相似性,而是基于共享的经历。当一个人邀请另一个人分享经历时,他们就建立了联系。它可以是分享美丽的日落或一顿饭,喝杯咖啡进行愉快的交谈,散步,甚至是取笑某人。当我们与上帝分享同样的经历时,我们也与他更加接近。上帝想要与我们建立联系——以至于他派他的儿子作为一个人生活。神道成肉身,分享人类的每一个经历。所以我们不必再想知道与神的亲密关系是什么样的。

与上帝和其他人的亲密关系不一定是陈词滥调,它可以是一种日常生活方式。

英文概要: Sensual, magnetic, wild

The long-awaited novel by Małgorzata Lebda

May. End of the world. It’s a long way from here. Two women come here, leaving their previous lives behind. But they are not greeted by an idyllic reality. Róża is ill, and her husband, in order to save her, slowly dismantles the order that he has built throughout his life.

Maja is affected by a change that is difficult to tame. The visitors cannot, or perhaps do not want to, prevent the inevitable catastrophe that is slowly spreading to the entire village. Memories mix with the here and now, human with animal, concern with fury. The living desperately opposes death.

Małgorzata Lebda’s spare, sensual novel combines sensitivity to nature, of which humans are a part, with linguistic mastery. The author creates a multi-layered story about the power of the elements, greed for life and the private cosmos in a moment of trial.

POLISH
Sensualna, magnetyczna, dzika

Wyczekiwana powieść Małgorzaty Lebdy

Maj. Koniec świata. Stąd wszędzie jest daleko. Dwie kobiety przyjeżdżają tu, zostawiając za sobą dotychczasowe życie. Ale nie wita ich sielska rzeczywistość. Róża choruje, a jej mąż, by ją ratować, powoli rozmontowuje porządek, który konstruował całe życie.

Maja dotyka zmiana, którą trudno oswoić. Przyjezdne nie mogą, a może nie chcą, zapobiec nieuchronnej katastrofie, powoli rozprzestrzeniającej się na całą wieś. Wspomnienia mieszają się z tym, co tu i teraz, ludzkie ze zwierzęcym, troska z furią. Żywe rozpaczliwie sprzeciwia się śmierci.

Oszczędna, oddziałująca na zmysły czytających powieść Małgorzaty Lebdy łączy wrażliwość na naturę, której częścią jest człowiek, z maestrią językową. Autorka tworzy wielowarstwową opowieść o sile żywiołów, zachłanności na życie i prywatnym kosmosie w momencie próby.

Ridiculed by the police, who have declared the deaths of natural cause, she starts her own murder investigation, unbeknownst to anyone but her loyal cook Franciszka and one reluctant nun.

by SONIA AGGIO
页数:300    定价:18 欧元   上传日期:2024-3-21
< /td>
英文概要: An impeccable historical novel, with the flavor of a classic with a plot full of intrigues, loves and terrible deceptions, and an engaging and refined style, which takes the reader through the glittering rooms of the imperial palaces and their magnificent gardens, showing us the secret sides of the cities of the East.

John i Tzimiskes who grew up with his maternal uncles, the Phokas, over the time became a valiant leader and fought courageously for the Byzantine Empire alongside Nikephoros II, the most brilliant general of his era, and Leo Phokas. War is all he has left: his wife died during childbirth and his father’s relatives, the Kurkuas, consider him a traitor. When it seems that Giovanni has no other purpose than fighting alongside the Phokas, three witches prophesy that he will become emperor. But how can this be possible, given that Nikephoros, his mentor, sits on the throne and he is the man who raised him and for whom he would give his life?

When Nikephoros turns his back on him and the charming Theophano knocks on his door, Tzimiskes has to decide what he wants to do with his future: remain faithful to the emperor, supporting the principles he grew up with, or take his place, definitively accepting his destiny?

Wars, murders, conspiracies and betrayals: after her debut with Magnificat, Sonia Aggio returns to bookstores with a gripping novel full of twists and turns, retracing the events of an extraordinary man who, starting from a simple soldier, managed to change the fate of his Empire by unexpectedly conquering the crown. In this book, with great talent and accuracy, the author reconstructs the existential parable of John I Tzimiskes through the epic tale of his rise to the throne, describing the daily reality of one of the most extensive dominations the world has ever known.

Taping with kinesiology tapes is a drug-free treatment method that is well established in therapy and in the world of sport. Apart from the medical aspect, the psychologic effect of taping is enormous. Children have fun with the tapes, are proud of their taping, and deal with their injury in a cheerful and relaxed way. Taping can also be used sensibly and effectively in the orthopedic field, be it to correct postural weakness in children and adolescents or to address deviations of the leg axis in conditions such as knock knees or bow legs.

In this book, with its numerous illustrations and helpful hints, the author describes typical symptoms and the corresponding taping systems step by step. The practical handling is presented in an easily comprehensible way with a series of illustrations to enable implementation quickly and without problems. In addition, for each tape system the possible causes of the complaints are discussed, and a self-exercise is presented with which the child can become active in a preventive way.

The tape exercises presented in this book offer parents, therapists, and all professionals who work with children an effective approach to supporting the healing process for many typical everyday ailments in children.

英文概要: "A model of popular-science writing" STEVEN POOLE

Who was "the first speaker" and what was their first message?

An erudite, tightly woven and beautifully written account of one of humanity’s greatest mysteries - the origins of language.

Drawing on evidence from many fields, including archaeology, anthropology, neurology and linguistics, Sverker Johansson weaves these disparate threads together to show how our human ancestors evolved into language users. The Dawn of Language provides a fascinating survey of how grammar came into being and the differences or similarities between languages spoken around the world, before exploring how language eventually emerged in the very remote human past.

Our intellectual and physiological changes through the process of evolution both have a bearing on our ability to acquire language. But to what extent is the evolution of language dependent on genes, or on environment? How has language evolved further, and how is it changing now, in the process of globalisation? And which aspects of language ensure that robots are not yet intelligent enough to reconstruct how language has evolved?

Johansson’s far-reaching, authoritative and research-based approach to language is brought to life through dozens of astonishing examples, both human and animal, in a fascinatingly erudite and entertaining volume for anyone who has ever contemplated not just why we speak the way we do, but why we speak at all.

Translated from the Swedish by Frank Perry 

 
中文概要: 谁是“第一位发言者”?他的第一个信息是什么?

本书博学、严谨、文笔优美,讲述了人类最大的谜团之一 —— 语言的起源

Sverker Johansson 约翰逊 借鉴考古学、人类学、神经学和语言学等多个领域的证据,将这些不同的领域搜集到的线索编织在一起,展示我们的人类祖先是如何进化为语言使用者。 《语言的黎明》对语言文法的形成以及世界各地语言之间的差异或相似之处进行了引人入胜的调查,然后探讨了语言最终如何在非常遥远的人类过去出现。

进化过程中我们的智力和生理变化都对我们习得语言的能力产生影响。但语言的进化在多大程度上是依赖于基因还是依赖语环境所在呢?在全球化的过程中,语言又是如何进一步发展的,以及现在又是如何变化的?语言的哪些方面能够确保智能机器人还没有足够的智能来重建语言的进化过程?

约翰逊对语言的研究影响深远、他是这方面的权威,且基于研究的方法将此书通过数十个令人惊叹的例子(包括人类和动物)生动地呈现在这本引人入胜、博学而有趣的书中,此书适合给所有曾经思考过为什么我们会这样说话的人阅读,,同时思考我们到底为什么要说话。

英文概要: What is the story behind your name? In fact, why do you have a name at all? Sverker Johansson tells you. With an eye to evolutionary history as well as specific unusual examples, he ranges across time and space to capture the diversity of naming traditions.

Depending on where we end up in time and space, a name can be determined based on the day of the week, ancestors, which evil spirits need to be tricked or what the mother sees when the child is born. In addition to first names, we can have surnames – but also parents’ names, farm names, village names, children’s names, caste names, middle names, generational names or nicknames based on everything from complexion via professions to television programs. Did you know, for example, that Caligula means baby boots, that John is the most common first name on Wikipedia, that dolphins have name melodies and that Mao Zedong’s middle name Ze comes from a poem from which his family for fourteen generations took their names?

“This historical tour is both educational and well-executed.” – Fokus  

 
中文概要: 你的名字背后有什么故事?你为什么有名字?斯韦尔克约翰逊 Sverker Johansson 会在这本书里面一一回答。着眼于进化历史以及具体的不寻常例子,约翰逊跨越时间和空间来了解人类命名传统的多样性。

根据我们在时间和空间上的最终位置,可以根据星期几、祖先、需要欺骗哪些邪灵或母亲在孩子出生时看到的东西来确定名字。除了名字之外,我们还可以有姓氏——还可以有父母的名字、农场的名字、村庄的名字、孩子的名字、种姓、中间名、辈分或昵称,这些昵称的基础包括从肤色、职业到电视节目等各种内容。例如,您是否知道卡利古拉的意思是婴儿靴、约翰是维基百科上最常见的名字、海豚的名字是有旋律的、毛泽东的中间名“泽”来自一首诗,他的家族十四代人的名字都取自这首诗?

< /td>
英文概要: Why are thousands of languages spoken in New Guinea, but only one in Madagascar? How many Chinese languages are there? And can dead languages truly come back to life?

Sverker Johansson, author of the highly successful LANGUAGE DAWN, is back with a new riveting account about how we humans speak—and why.

In FOOTPRINTS OF LANGUAGE, the reader is taken on a linguistic journey across time and space where human diversity is the steering force. With the help of the latest language research, but also of archaeology and genetics, Johansson points out both well-trodden paths that lead to big languages as well as barely visible footprints that reveal languages few of us have heard of.

With language diversity being the central theme, FOOTPRINTS IN LANGUAGE account for the fascinating diversity of human cultures across the globe and what effects these differences have on how we speak.

By not restricting the exploration to well-known languages, the book attempts to show the full spectrum of language diversity, including languages that are “off the beaten path”. Not all of the 7,000 languages of the world can be covered in one book—but the author touches on all continents, and all major—and many minor—language families. More than 400 different languages are used to provide examples in the book, from Abkhaz to Zulu.

Sverker Johansson is a physicist and linguist. He has conducted research at CERN in Switzerland and participated in EVOLANG—the leading international conference for research on the origins and evolution of language—since 2006. He is also the individual in the world with the most Wikipedia articles published. Through a bot that he programmed, Lsjbot, Johansson is behind an estimated 8% of all articles on Wikipedia, covering everything from fungi to municipalities in the Philippines.

In 2019, he debuted with LANGUAGE DAWN, which has been translated into eight languages—including English at MacLehose Press and Spanish at Editorial Ariel.

英文概要: Imprisoned during World War I as a conscientious objector and interned during World War II as an enemy alien, Reginald Horace Blyth was a poet, a scholar, a musician, a linguist and a student of Zen who ultimately became teacher to an emporer. His pivitol works were published in Japan even during his internment.

Blyth ultimately became the key link and mediator between the Imperial Household and the occupying American forces, whom many credit with saving Japan from chaos after the war. His fingerprints are everywhere today in the study of Zen, Haiku and Japanese culture, and his work has influenced some of the most important writers of the 20th century— including Huxley, Oshi, Aiken, Watts, Salinger, Kerouac, Ginsberg and others. He was, in many ways, a man who changed the world!

Mister Timeless Blyth is his story.

Written in the form of an autobiographical novel filled with Zen and poetry, this book recounts a life of hard work, books and music, of spiritual questing, and of learning to be at peace with one’s self and one’s choices. It celebrates a man who built bridge between East and West for the greater part of his lifetime. Through it, we understand someone who moved with a sense of purpose, warmth and humor and left a mark that was very distinct indeed.
