代理商:大苹果 ARTIFICIAL WOMEN: SEX DOLLS, ROBOT CAREGIVERS, AND MORE FACSIMILE FEMALES

页数: 220 到书日期: 1900-1-1 上传日期: 2024-3-29

中文概要:


英文简介: What distinguishes humanity from artificial beings? What do constructed creatures tell us about ourselves?

From sex dolls to Siri, talking Barbies to robotic mothers, Artificial Women explores the ways in which today’s simulated females—both real and fictional—reflect and expose our own ideas about gender and female identity. Join Julie Wosk as she probes the realm of compliant sex workers, nurturing caretakers, genial servants, and rebellious creations in film, television, literature, art, photography, and current developments in robotics. These modern-day Galateas must embrace their own synthetic nature while also striving for authenticity and autonomy, all the while foregrounding gender stereotypes and changing perceptions of women and their roles. They embody the paradoxes and tensions that continue to arise in our increasingly simulated world, where the lines between the real and the virtual only continue to blur. As these "artificial women" become ever more lifelike, so too do the questions they raise become more provocative, and more illuminating of our own conceptions and conventions.

Artificial Women pushes the boundaries of gender, sexuality, and culture studies to consider new digital technologies, artificial intelligences, and burgeoning simulations.

中文概要:


英文简介: Amid the bloody Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2021 and the escalating tensions across the Taiwan Strait, the geopolitical balance of power has changed significantly in a very short period. If current trends continue, we may be witnessing a tectonic realignment unseen in more than a century.

In 1904, Halford Mackinder delivered a seminal lecture entitled "The Geographical Pivot of History" to a packed house at the Royal Geographical Society in London about the historic changes then taking place on the world stage. Britain was the great power of that historical moment, but its political, military, and economic primacy was under serious challenge from the United States, Germany, and Russia. Mackinder predicted that the "heartland" of Eastern Europe held the key to global hegemony and that the struggle for control over this region would be the next great conflict. Ten years later, when an assassin’s bullet in Sarajevo launched the world into a calamitous war, Mackinder’s analysis proved prescient.

As esteemed historian Jeremy Black argues in this timely new volume, the 2020s may be history’s next great pivot point. The continued volatility of the global system in the wake of a deadly pandemic exacerbates these pressures. At the same time, the American public remains divided by the question of engagement with the outside world, testing the limits of US postwar hegemony. The time has come for a reconsideration of the 120 years from Mackinder’s lecture to now, as well as geopolitics of the present and of the future.

代理商:大苹果 DEN TOD üBERLEBEN (SURVIVING DEATH: COMING TO GRIPS WITH THE UNFATHOMABLE)

页数: 141 到书日期: 2024-3-28 上传日期: 2024-3-28

中文概要:


英文简介: 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

页数: 302 到书日期: 1900-1-1 上传日期: 2024-3-28

中文概要:


英文简介: 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.

代理商:大苹果 QUEST FOR LOVE: MEMOIR OF A CHILD SEX SLAVE

页数: 0 到书日期: 2024-3-27 上传日期: 2024-3-26

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)


英文简介: 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.

代理商:大苹果 I’D LIKE YOU MORE IF YOU WERE MORE LIKE ME: GETTING REAL ABOUT GETTING CLOSE

页数: 320 到书日期: 2024-3-23 上传日期: 2024-3-23

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。


英文简介: 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.

英文简介: 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.
