There’s something out there:
a juggernaut of evil bearing down to crush the Republic—
unless one lone Jedi, shunned and reviled, can stop it.

Revan: hero, traitor, conqueror, villain, savior. A Jedi who left Coruscant to defeat Mandalorians—and returned a disciple of the dark side, bent on destroying the Republic. The Jedi Council gave Revan his life back, but the price of redemption was high. His memories have been erased. All that’s left are nightmares—and deep, abiding fear.

What exactly happened beyond the Outer Rim? Revan can’t quite remember, yet can’t entirely forget. Somehow he stumbled across a terrible secret that threatens the very existence of the Republic. With no idea what it is, or how to stop it, Revan may very well fail, for he’s never faced a more powerful and diabolic enemy. But only death can stop him from trying.

Path of Destruction: Star Wars Legends (Darth Bane): A Novel of the Old Republic

Once the Sith order teemed with followers. But their rivalries divided them in endless battles for supremacy. Until one dark lord at last united the Sith in the quest to enslave the galaxy–and exterminate the Jedi. Yet it would fall to another, far more powerful than the entire Brotherhood of Darkness, to ultimately realize the full potential of the Sith, and wield the awesome power of the dark side as never before.

Since childhood, Dessel has known only the abuse of his hateful father and the dangerous, soul-crushing labor of a cortosis miner. Deep in the tunnels of the desolate planet Apatros, endlessly excavating the rare mineral valued throughout the galaxy, Dessel dreams of the day he can escape–a day he fears may never come. But when a high-stakes card game ends in deadly violence, Dessel suddenly finds himself a wanted man.

On the run from vengeful Republic forces, Dessel vanishes into the ranks of the Sith army, and ships out to join the bloody war against the Republic and its Jedi champions. There, Dessel’s brutality, cunning, and exceptional command of the Force swiftly win him renown as a warrior. But in the eyes of his watchful masters, he is destined for a far greater role in the ultimate Sith plan for the galaxy–if he can prove himself truly worthy.

As an acolyte in the Sith academy, studying the secrets and skills of the dark side at the feet of its greatest masters, Dessel embraces his new Sith identity: Bane. However the true test is yet to come. In order to gain acceptance into the Brotherhood of Darkness one must fully surrender to the dark side through a trial by fire that Bane, for all his unquenchable fury and lust for power, may not be strong enough to endure . . . especially since deception, treachery, and murder run rampant among the Sith disciples, and utter ruthlessness alone is the key to survival. Only by defying the most sacred traditions, rejecting all he has been taught, and drawing upon the long-forgotten wisdom of the very first Sith can Bane hope to triumph–and forge from the ashes of that which he must destroy a new era of absolute dark power.

Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

The Choice of Magic

The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite—a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

But this will change, for the greatest power comes with knowledge, and the deeper teachings of wizardry have not been utterly lost. The last wizard of the old tradition still survives in solitude, nursing tired grudges and waiting for death.

His passing might have gone unnoticed, but for the imposition of a youth too stubborn to accept his refusal to take an apprentice. With a new student comes new hope, and that hope has caused old powers to stir again. That the world will change is inevitable, but the shape of the future is anything but certain.

When it came, it brought the music industry to its knees and ended an era when American rappers were leaders in using their art to speak the truth to corporate, government, and judicial power.

Last Word: My Indictment of the CIA in the Murder of JFK

Mark Lane

Mark Lane tried the only U.S. court case in which the jurors concluded that the CIA plotted the murder of President Kennedy, but there was always a missing piece: How did the CIA control cops and secret service agents on the ground in Dealey Plaza? How did federal authorities prevent the House Select Committee on Assassinations from discovering the truth about the complicity of the CIA?

Now, New York Times best-selling author Mark Lane tells all in this explosive new book—with exclusive new interviews, sworn testimony, and meticulous new research (including interviews with Oliver Stone, Dallas Police deputy sheriffs, Robert K. Tanenbaum, and Abraham Bolden) Lane finds out first hand exactly what went on the day JFK was assassinated. Lane includes sworn statements given to the Warren Commission by a police officer who confronted a man who he thought was the assassin. The officer testified that he drew his gun and pointed it at the suspect who showed Secret Service ID. Yet, the Secret Service later reported that there were no Secret Service agents on foot in Dealey Plaza.

The Last Word proves that the CIA, operating through a secret small group, prepared all credentials for Secret Service agents in Dallas for the two days that Kennedy was going to be there—conclusive evidence of the CIA’s involvement in the assassination.

Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word

Randall Kennedy

It’s “the nuclear bomb of racial epithets,” a word that whites have employed to wound and degrade African Americans for three centuries. Paradoxically, among many black people it has become a term of affection and even empowerment. The word, of course, is nigger, and in this candid, lucidly argued book the distinguished legal scholar Randall Kennedy traces its origins, maps its multifarious connotations, and explores the controversies that rage around it.

Should blacks be able to use nigger in ways forbidden to others? Should the law treat it as a provocation that reduces the culpability of those who respond to it violently? Should it cost a person his job, or a book like Huckleberry Finn its place on library shelves? With a range of reference that extends from the Jim Crow south to Chris Rock routines and the O. J. Simpson trial, Kennedy takes on not just a word, but our laws, attitudes, and culture with bracing courage and intelligence.

The Nemesis

第 3 冊

In the heart-pounding conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Diabolic series, the Empire teeters on the edge of destruction as rumors spread that Nemesis is still alive.

Three years ago, Tyrus Domitrian shocked the galaxy by killing the woman he swore to love forever. The woman for whom he upended the Empire. The woman with whom he wanted to build a new and brighter future.

Now, the once-idealistic heir apparent has become the cruel Emperor Tyrus, wielding his authority with an iron fist, capable of destroying planets with a single word, controlling all technology with a simple thought. He has bent the Grandiloquy to their knees, and none has the power to stand against him.

But there is a muttering among the Excess. They say that Nemesis is not truly gone. They whisper of her shadow spotted in distant star systems. They say that Nemesis lives. That she will rise, and rally the people to topple the man who was once her truest love—and is now her fiercest enemy.

Do What You Want: The Story of Bad Religion

Bad Religion

From their beginnings as teenagers experimenting in a San Fernando Valley garage dubbed "The Hell Hole" to headlining major music festivals around the world, Do What You Wanttells the whole story of Bad Religion's 40-year career in irreverent style.

Do What You Want: The Story of Bad Religion reveals the ups and downs of the band's forty-year career. From their beginnings as teenagers jamming in a San Fernando Valley garage dubbed "The Hell Hole" to headlining major music festivals around the world, Do What You Want tells the whole story in irreverent style.

While Do What You Want tracks down nearly all of Bad Religion's members past and present, the chief storytellers are the four voices that define Bad Religion: Greg Graffin, a Wisconsin kid who sang in the choir and became an L.A. punk rock icon while he was still a teenager; Brett Gurewitz, a high school dropout who founded the independent punk label Epitaph Records and went on to become a record mogul; Jay Bentley, a surfer and skater who gained recognition as much for his bass skills as for his onstage antics; and Brian Baker, a founding member of Minor Threat who joined the band in 1994 and brings a fresh perspective as an intimate outsider.

With a unique blend of melodic hardcore and thought-provoking lyrics, Bad Religion paved the way for the punk rock explosion of the 1990s, opening the door for bands like NOFX, The Offspring, Rancid, Green Day, and Blink-182 to reach wider audiences. They showed the world what punk could be, and they continue to spread their message one song, one show, one tour at a time -- with no signs of stopping.

Squeeze Me: A novel

Carl Hiaasen

From the best-selling author of Skinny Dip and Razor Girl, a hilarious new novel of social and political intrigue, set against the glittering backdrop of Florida's gold coast.

It's the height of the Palm Beach charity ball season: for every disease or cause, there's a reason for the local luminaries to eat (minimally), drink (maximally), and be seen. But when a prominent high-society dowager suddenly vanishes during a swank gala, and is later found dead in a concrete grave, panic and chaos erupt. Kiki Pew was notable not just for her wealth and her jewels--she was an ardent fan of the Winter White House resident just down the road, and a founding member of the POTUSSIES, a group of women dedicated to supporting their President. Never one to miss an opportunity to play to his base, the President immediately declares that Kiki was the victim of rampaging immigrant hordes. This, it turns out, is far from the truth.

The truth might just lie in the middle of the highway, where a bizarre discovery brings the First Lady's motorcade to a grinding halt (followed by some grinding between the First Lady and a love-struck Secret Service agent). Enter Angie Armstrong, wildlife wrangler extraordinaire, who arrives at her own conclusions after she is summoned to the posh island to deal with a mysterious and impolite influx of huge, hungry pythons . . .

Carl Hiaasen can brighten even the darkest of days and Squeeze Me is pure, unadulterated Hiaasen. Irreverent, ingenious, and highly entertaining, Squeeze Me perfectly captures the absurdity of our times.

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art

James Nestor

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly.

There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.

Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.

Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is.

Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

So You Want to Talk About Race

Ijeoma Oluo

In this New York Times bestseller, Ijeoma Oluo offers a hard-hitting but user-friendly examination of race in America

Widespread reporting on aspects of white supremacy -- from police brutality to the mass incarceration of Black Americans -- has put a media spotlight on racism in our society. Still, it is a difficult subject to talk about. How do you tell your roommate her jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law take umbrage when you asked to touch her hair -- and how do you make it right? How do you explain white privilege to your white, privileged friend?

In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to "model minorities" in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life.

"Oluo gives us -- both white people and people of color -- that language to engage in clear, constructive, and confident dialogue with each other about how to deal with racial prejudices and biases." -- National Book Review

"Generous and empathetic, yet usefully blunt . . . it's for anyone who wants to be smarter and more empathetic about matters of race and engage in more productive anti-racist action." -- Salon (Required Reading)

A deliciously funny, remarkably poignant, and simply unputdownable novel about the power of friendship, the lure of frenemies, and the importance of making peace with yourself through all life’s ups and down. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good in Bed and Best Friends Forever, Big Summer is the perfect escape with one of the most lovable heroines to come to the page in years.

Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasn’t spoken one word to Drue in all this time—she doesn’t even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media—so when Drue asks if she will be her maid-of-honor at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless.

Drue was always the one who had everything—except the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphne’s no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. She’s built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friend’s siren song.

A sparkling novel about the complexities of female relationships, the pitfalls of living out loud and online, and the resilience of the human heart, Big Summer is a witty, moving story about family, friendship, and figuring out what matters most.

An unforgettable memoir about a young girl who, kept out of school, leaves her survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge University

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.

“Beautiful and propulsive . . . Despite the singularity of [Tara Westover’s] childhood, the questions her book poses are universal: How much of ourselves should we give to those we love? And how much must we betray them to grow up?”—Vogue

“Westover has somehow managed not only to capture her unsurpassably exceptional upbringing, but to make her current situation seem not so exceptional at all, and resonant for many others.”—The New York Times Book Review

Becoming

Michelle Obama

An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WATCH THE EMMY-NOMINATED NETFLIX ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER • ONE OF ESSENCE’S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS

In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare.

In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.

The Sentinel: A Jack Reacher Novel

第 25 冊

Jack Reacher is back! The “utterly addictive” (The New York Times) series continues as the acclaimed #1 bestselling author Lee Child teams up with his brother, Andrew Child, fellow thriller writer extraordinaire.

As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee.

But there’s nothing pleasant about the place.

In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one” . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution.

The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name.

Reacher is intrigued. There’s more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder—all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he’s up against.

Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side.

Molly Broussard is no stranger to being in the limelight, so when the former cage fighter turned in her boxing gloves for pots and pans, everyone who knew her was surprised…until they ate her food.

With no evidence of foul play, Sinful residents are ready to conclude that this is simply another tragic and all-too-common accident.

Nickel Bordelon spent half of his time in trouble and the other half paying for it. But one thing he knows for certain—Molly was murdered. When he asks Fortune to take the case, she isn’t sure there’s anything to find, but his emotional plea has her agreeing to look into it. As Swamp Team 3 begin their investigation, they find more layers to Molly’s disappearance than in Ida Belle’s wedding cake.

The Damned Trilogy: A Call to Arms, The False Mirror, and The Spoils of War

Alan Dean Foster

Humans are caught up in an alien war in this epic from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Trek Into Darkness.

For millennia, the Weave, an alliance of species, have fought to resist the telepathic Amplitur, who strive to unite all self-aware life-forms in their great “Purpose.” The Weave is slowly losing ground, but for both sides, warfare focuses more on outthinking and outmaneuvering your foe than destruction. In fact, most regard violence as hideously barbaric, and even the thought of harming another sentient being is beyond imagining.

Then they come to Earth . . .

A Call to Arms
When one of its scout ships lands on Earth, the Weave quickly realizes that humanity’s almost innate ability to wreak havoc and death may hold the key to turning the tide in their fight. Unfortunately for all, the Amplitur have the same idea—and mankind is caught in the middle.

The False Mirror
When the Amplitur unleash an elite cadre of fighters, it soon becomes clear that they have subjected their human prisoners to horrific genetic manipulation. But if the Weave attempts to undo the effects, they may change the former warriors into something far, far worse.

The Spoils of War
With mankind’s help, the Weave is finally on the verge of victory against the Amplitur. Until an alien scholar uncovers a terrifying truth: Earthlings might not even be capable of being civilized—and a shadowy group of powerful humans is already poised to unleash war across the entire galaxy.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alan Dean Foster including rare images from the author’s collection.

Rage

Bob Woodward

An unprecedented and intimate tour de force of original reporting on the Trump presidency from Bob Woodward.

Rage goes behind the scenes like never before, with stunning new details about early national security decisions and operations and Trump’s moves as he faces a global pandemic, economic disaster and racial unrest.

Woodward, the #1 internationally bestselling author of 13 #1 bestsellers, including Fear: Trump in the White House, shows Trump up close in his entirety before the 2020 presidential election.

President Trump has said publicly that Woodward has interviewed him. What is not known is that Trump provided Woodward a window into his mind through a series of exclusive interviews.

At key decision points, Rage shows how Trump’s responses to the crises of 2020 were rooted in the instincts, habits and style he developed during his first three years as president.

Rage draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand witnesses, as well as participants’ notes, emails, diaries, calendars and confidential documents.

Woodward obtained 25 personal letters exchanged between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that have not been public before. Kim describes the bond between the two leaders as out of a “fantasy film,” as the two leaders engage in an extraordinary diplomatic minuet.

Rage will be the foundational account of the Trump presidency, its turmoil, contradictions and risks. It is an essential document for any voter seeking an accurate inside view of the Trump years—volatile and vivid.

The Galaxy, and the Ground Within: A Novel

Return to the sprawling, Hugo Award-winning universe of the Galactic Commons to explore another corner of the cosmos—one often mentioned, but not yet explored—in this absorbing entry in the Wayfarers series, which blends heart-warming characters and imaginative adventure.

With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. The only thing it has going for it is a chance proximity to more popular worlds, making it a decent stopover for ships traveling between the wormholes that keep the Galactic Commons connected. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop.

At the Five-Hop One-Stop, long-haul spacers can stretch their legs (if they have legs, that is), and get fuel, transit permits, and assorted supplies. The Five-Hop is run by an enterprising alien and her sometimes helpful child, who work hard to provide a little piece of home to everyone passing through.

When a freak technological failure halts all traffic to and from Gora, three strangers—all different species with different aims—are thrown together at the Five-Hop. Grounded, with nothing to do but wait, the trio—an exiled artist with an appointment to keep, a cargo runner at a personal crossroads, and a mysterious individual doing her best to help those on the fringes—are compelled to confront where they’ve been, where they might go, and what they are, or could be, to each other.

A Time for Mercy

John Grisham

Jake Brigance is back! The hero of A Time to Kill, one of the most popular novels of our time, returns in a courtroom drama that showcases #1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham at the height of his storytelling powers.

Clanton, Mississippi. 1990. Jake Brigance finds himself embroiled in a deeply divisive trial when the court appoints him attorney for Drew Gamble, a timid sixteen-year-old boy accused of murdering a local deputy. Many in Clanton want a swift trial and the death penalty, but Brigance digs in and discovers that there is more to the story than meets the eye. Jake’s fierce commitment to saving Drew from the gas chamber puts his career, his financial security, and the safety of his family on the line.

In what may be the most personal and accomplished legal thriller of John Grisham’s storied career, we deepen our acquaintance with the iconic Southern town of Clanton and the vivid cast of characters that so many readers know and cherish. The result is a richly rewarding novel that is both timely and timeless, full of wit, drama, and—most of all—heart.

Bursting with all the courthouse scheming, small-town intrigue, and stunning plot twists that have become the hallmarks of the master of the legal thriller, A Time for Mercy is John Grisham’s most powerful courtroom drama yet.

There is a time to kill and a time for justice. Now comes A Time for Mercy.

Straight as an arrow special agent Kate O’Hare and international con man Nick Fox have brought down some of the biggest criminals out there. But now they face their most dangerous foe yet—a vast, shadowy international organization known only as the Brotherhood.

Directly descended from the Vatican Bank priests who served Hitler during World War II, the Brotherhood is on a frantic search for a lost train loaded with $30 billion in Nazi gold, untouched for over seventy-five years somewhere in the mountains of Eastern Europe.

Kate and Nick know that there is only one man who can find the fortune and bring down the Brotherhood—the same man who taught Nick everything he knows—his father, Quentin. As the stakes get higher, they must also rely on Kate’s own father, Jake, who shares his daughter’s grit and stubbornness. Too bad they can never agree on anything.

From a remote monastery in the Swiss Alps to the lawless desert of the Western Sahara, Kate, Nick, and the two men who made them who they are today must crisscross the world in a desperate scramble to stop their deadliest foe in the biggest adventure of their lives.

The Coast-to-Coast Murders

James Patterson

A detective and FBI agent join forces on what seems like an open-and-shut case -- but a new rash of killings sends them on a pulse-pounding race against time in this intense thriller.
Michael and Megan Fitzgerald are siblings who share a terrifying past. Both adopted, and now grown -- Michael is a long-haul truck driver, Megan a college student majoring in psychology -- they trust each other before anyone else. They've had to. Their parents are public intellectuals, an Ivy League clinical psychologist and a renowned psychiatrist, and they brought up their adopted children in a rarefied, experimental environment. It sheltered them from the world's harsh realities, but it also forced secrets upon them, secrets they keep at all costs.
In Los Angeles, Detective Garrett Dobbs and FBI Agent Jessica Gimble have joined forces to work a murder that seems like a dead cinch. Their chief suspect is quickly identified and apprehended --but then there's another killing just like the one they've been investigating. And another. And not just in Los Angeles -- the spree spreads across the country. The Fitzgerald family comes to the investigators' attention, but Dobbs and Gimble are at a loss -- if one of the four is involved, which Fitzgerald might it be?
From coastal California to upstate New York, Dobbs and Gimble race against time and across state lines to stop an ingenious and deeply deranged killer -- one whose dark and twisted appetites put them outside the range of logic or experience.

Dungeon of Death:: Chris Benoit and the Hart Family Curse

Scott Keith

"Asking Scott Keith about professional wrestling is like asking Wayne Gretzky about hockey." --Murtz Jaffer, Inside Pulse

The True Story Behind Wrestling's Deadly Secret

On June 25, 2007, Canadian pro wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, and their seven-year-old son Daniel were found dead in their Fayetteville, Georgia, home. The ruling of murder-suicide caused a media frenzy and stunned wrestling fans around the world.

Yet the Benoit tragedy was only the latest in a string of disasters that have dogged Stampede Wrestling, operated by the Calgary-based Hart family. In the first book of its kind, Scott Keith offers an in-depth look at the Hart family "curse" that has left all the Stampede Wrestling alumnae either crippled or dead. Were these deaths preventable or inevitable? How did a sport famous for showmanship and entertainment become overrun by rampant drug use, depravity, and greed?

Chris Benoit isn't the only wrestler to be brought down by a history of drug use--many other big names in the sport have fallen victim to wrestling's drug culture and steroid obsession. Why has nothing been done about this, even now after these latest deaths?

Scott Keith knows wrestling from the inside out. This compelling and candid account reveals not only what's gone wrong in the world's most spectacular sport but what must be done to save it.

What Lurks Beneath

Ryan Lockwood

From the acclaimed author of Below comes a new breed of terror that rises from the depths of the ocean. To hunt. To devour. To kill.

The first attack occurrs in the underwater caverns of the Bahamas. Two professional divers exploring the unknown. A monstrous flesh-ripping predator they never see coming.

Now the attacks are coming closer and closer to shore. A sun-soaked playground for sea-loving tourists. A human feasting ground for whatever lurks beneath.

Now, in a desperate race against time, Eric Watson, an expert on remote control underwater vehicles, and marine biologist Valerie Martell, must identify a savage new species of killer—and piece together one of nature’s most horrific mysteries. But the most terrifying discovery of all waits for Val and her team at the bottom of the sea. A discovery too shocking, to comprehend.

Because up till now, this creature existed only in mankind’s darkest nightmares. Not anymore.

Waking Lions

Ayelet Gundar-Goshen

After one night's deadly mistake, a man will go to any lengths to save his family and his reputation.

Neurosurgeon Eitan Green has the perfect life -- married to a beautiful police officer and father of two young boys. Then, speeding along a deserted moonlit road after an exhausting hospital shift, he hits someone. Seeing that the man, an African migrant, is beyond help, he flees the scene.

When the victim's widow knocks at Eitan's door the next day, holding his wallet and divulging that she knows what happened, Eitan discovers that her price for silence is not money. It is something else entirely, something that will shatter Eitan's safe existence and take him into a world of secrets and lies he could never have anticipated.

Waking Lions is a gripping, suspenseful, and morally devastating drama of guilt and survival, shame and desire from a remarkable young author on the rise.

Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire

Rebecca Henderson

A renowned Harvard professor debunks prevailing orthodoxy with a new intellectual foundation and a practical pathway forward for a system that has lost its moral and ethical foundation in this "powerful" book (Daron Acemoglu).
Free market capitalism is one of humanity's greatest inventions and the greatest source of prosperity the world has ever seen. But this success has been costly. Capitalism is on the verge of destroying the planet and destabilizing society as wealth rushes to the top. The time for action is running short.

Rebecca Henderson's rigorous research in economics, psychology, and organizational behavior, as well as her many years of work with companies around the world, gives us a path forward. She debunks the worldview that the only purpose of business is to make money and maximize shareholder value. She shows that we have failed to reimagine capitalism so that it is not only an engine of prosperity but also a system that is in harmony with environmental realities, striving for social justice and the demands of truly democratic institutions.

Henderson's deep understanding of how change takes place, combined with fascinating in-depth stories of companies that have made the first steps towards reimagining capitalism, provides inspiring insight into what capitalism can be. With rich discussions of how the worlds of finance, governance, and leadership must also evolve, Henderson provides the pragmatic foundation for navigating a world faced with unprecedented challenge, but also with extraordinary opportunity for those who can get it right.

I'll Stay

Karen Day

In this compelling, emotionally complex novel, a college friendship sparks a life-changing sacrifice that connects two women forever--even as it shatters their closeness . . .

“Let her go. I’ll stay.”

There are some decisions you can never unmake. You can only atone for them—or try to. During her senior year of college, Clare Michaels takes a spring break trip to Florida with three other girls, including her best friend, Lee. She’s hoping for adventure and a few stories to share back at school. Instead, a string of bad choices leads to a horrific encounter, and Lee offers herself up so that Clare can escape.

In the weeks and months that follow that fateful incident, Lee, once so dynamic and ambitious, flounders and withdraws. Clare was the only person to whom she’d ever confided about her troubled past. For Clare, that role felt like an honor—until it became a burden. Now she’s trying to make amends for her momentary selfishness by taking care of Lee—just as she’s been taking care of her high-strung mother, whose bestselling novel has been both windfall and curse. Years pass, circumstances change, and contact between Clare and Lee ebbs and flows, but the events of that night in Florida are impossible to escape. They keep dragging Clare back—forcing her to confront what really happened, and her part in it, in hopes of untangling guilt from loyalty and earning forgiveness at last . . .

“I'll Stay is a heart-pounding, addictive portrait of how one split-second choice can twist our whole lives—and how the patterns of our lives lead us to those choices. A smart, compassionate, psychological spellbinder of a book—with one of the scariest scenes you'll read anywhere that'll stay with you forever!”
--Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Stormchasers

Need to Know

第 28 冊

Justice is music to the Sisterhood’s ears as they delve into the dark side of celebrity—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Crash and Burn.

Through all their missions and adventures, the tightknit group of friends who make up the Sisterhood have learned one vital lesson: everybody has a weak spot. In the case of Yoko Wong’s dear friend Garland Lee, the multimillion-selling performer known as America’s beloved songbird, that weak spot was trusting her lawyer, Arthur Forrester. For years, he’s taken advantage of her faith in him to amass a secret fortune. And now, in the deepest betrayal yet, he’s dragged her into a lawsuit that could cost her everything.

The Sisterhood know they can’t let that happen. Forrester has some of the country’s top judges in his pocket, and a list of influential and ruthless friends—not to mention knowledge of all the ways the law can be corrupted to work in his favor. But he doesn’t have the Vigilantes’ deep-seated loyalty and determination. And all his years of underhanded dealings won’t prepare him for the type of creative payback that the Sisters have made their specialty . . .

The Silent Patient

Alex Michaelides

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller

"An unforgettable—and Hollywood-bound—new thriller... A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy."
—Entertainment Weekly

Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.

Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia.

The Institute: A Novel

Stephen King

A NEW YORK TIMES 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2019 SELECTION

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King, the most riveting and unforgettable story of kids confronting evil since It.

In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis’s parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there’s no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents—telekinesis and telepathy—who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and ten-year-old Avery Dixon. They are all in Front Half. Others, Luke learns, graduated to Back Half, “like the roach motel,” Kalisha says. “You check in, but you don’t check out.”

In this most sinister of institutions, the director, Mrs. Sigsby, and her staff are ruthlessly dedicated to extracting from these children the force of their extranormal gifts. There are no scruples here. If you go along, you get tokens for the vending machines. If you don’t, punishment is brutal. As each new victim disappears to Back Half, Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help. But no one has ever escaped from the Institute.

As psychically terrifying as Firestarter, and with the spectacular kid power of It, The Institute is Stephen King’s gut-wrenchingly dramatic story of good vs. evil in a world where the good guys don’t always win.

A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book One

NOW THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES—THE MASTERPIECE THAT BECAME A CULTURAL PHENOMENON

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season.

Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms.

Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys.

Neon Prey

Lucas Davenport tracks a prolific serial killer in this nail-biting #1 New York Times-bestseller from John Sandford.

Clayton Deese looks like a small-time criminal, muscle for hire when his loan shark boss needs to teach someone a lesson. Now, seven months after a job that went south and landed him in jail, Deese has skipped out on bail, and the U.S. Marshals come looking for him. They don't much care about a low-level guy--it's his boss they want--but Deese might be their best chance to bring down the whole operation.

Then, they step onto a dirt trail behind Deese's rural Louisiana cabin and find a jungle full of graves.

Now Lucas Davenport is on the trail of a serial killer who has been operating for years without notice. His quarry is ruthless, and--as Davenport will come to find--full of surprises . . .

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

Mark Manson

#1 New York Times Bestseller

Over 1 million copies sold

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.

For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.

There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

The 48 Laws of Power

Robert Greene

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.

In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.

Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Neil Gaiman

The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, soon to be an original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant.

“Good Omens . . . is something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. Lots of literary inventiveness in the plotting and chunks of very good writing and characterization. It’s a wow. It would make one hell of a movie. Or a heavenly one. Take your pick.”—Washington Post

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.

So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

The Reckoning: A Novel

John Grisham

#1 bestselling author John Grisham’s The Reckoning is his most powerful, surprising, and suspenseful thriller yet.

“A murder mystery, a courtroom drama, a family saga…The Reckoning is Grisham's argument that he's not just a boilerplate thriller writer. Most jurors will think the counselor has made his case.”
—USA Today

October 1946, Clanton, Mississippi

Pete Banning was Clanton, Mississippi’s favorite son—a decorated World War II hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning he rose early, drove into town, and committed a shocking crime. Pete's only statement about it—to the sheriff, to his lawyers, to the judge, to the jury, and to his family—was: "I have nothing to say." He was not afraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave.

In a major novel unlike anything he has written before, John Grisham takes us on an incredible journey, from the Jim Crow South to the jungles of the Philippines during World War II; from an insane asylum filled with secrets to the Clanton courtroom where Pete’s defense attorney tries desperately to save him.

Reminiscent of the finest tradition of Southern Gothic storytelling, The Reckoning would not be complete without Grisham’s signature layers of legal suspense, and he delivers on every page.

至今為止的人生都在努力為他人的期望而活？
重視內心的聲音一次，做我一直想要做的，
從經濟到插畫，從臺灣到世界，開始發光發熱，
像被放進水裡的魚，終於進入自己的人生！

「不是得到眾人羨慕的事物或成就，你就會開心。」

因為讀書還行，Cinyee一路念到了臺大經濟系，
卻在畢業後頓覺這個路線不是自己想要的。

重新翻出長久以來偷偷藏著的夢想，用畫筆一點一點開拓出屬於自己的道路，
捨棄用「腦」活的人生，開始用「心」活的人生，因為任由自己追尋想要的，
她一路趨近自己的理想生活。

到美國留學插畫、獲得許多國際插畫獎項肯定、遇上契合伴侶、客戶來自世界各地、出版得獎繪本、一邊工作一邊環遊世界長達一年半……

「我現在的生活非常舒適而美好，十分感謝！那你呢？」

▍對於那些「不知道未來方向在哪裡」的人……
好好思考你想過怎樣的人生？你希望為世界帶來怎樣的價值？
從根本認識「自己」，充滿迷霧的路就會變得稍微清晰一點，你的人生就會更靠向那條路一些，而所謂的「自己」，也是在這樣一次次摸索中捏出來的。

▍對於那些常常想著「如果年輕時怎樣就好了」的人……
請記得，對於未來，現在的你永遠年輕，別拖了，想要就去做吧。
去做讓你覺得活過來的事、讓你覺得變年輕的事、讓你忘記年齡的事。

▍對於那些照著「別人期待的生活」而活的人……
失去自己是漸進的過程，不要等到身陷深淵才行動。
現在就可以做的是：對自己誠實，勇敢活出屬於「你」的，如魚得水的人生！

房思琪的初戀樂園

林奕含

　　令人心碎卻無能為力的真實故事。
　　性、權力、升學主義──青澀的表皮、變態社會的日常
　　如果這件事情正在發生，我們要怎麼假裝世界上沒有人以強暴小女孩為樂？

　　「我下樓拿作文給李老師改。他掏出來，我被逼到塗在牆上。老師說了九個字：『不行的話，嘴巴可以吧。』我說了五個字：『不行，我不會。』他就塞進來。那感覺像溺水。可以說話之後，我對老師說：『對不起。』有一種功課做不好的感覺。」

　　痛苦的際遇是如此難以分享，好險這個世界還有文學。

　　小小的房思琪住在金碧輝煌的人生裡，她的臉和她可以想像的將來一樣漂亮。補習班國文名師李國華是同一棟高級住宅的鄰居。崇拜文學的小房思琪同樣崇拜飽讀詩書的李老師。
　　
　　有一天李老師說，妳的程度這麼好，不如每個禮拜交一篇作文給我吧，不收妳鐘點費。思琪聽話地下樓了。老師在家裡等她，桌上沒有紙筆。
　　
　　思琪的初戀是李老師。因為李老師把她翻面，把他的東西塞進去。那年的教師節思琪才十三歲，這個世界和她原本認識的不一樣。
　　
　　如果這是愛情，為什麼覺得暴力？為什麼覺得被折斷？為什麼老師要一個女學生換過一個女學生？如果這不是愛情，那滿口學問的李老師怎麼能做了以後，還這麼自信、無疑、無愧於心？
　　
　　這是一部驚人而特別的小說，小說作者既具有高度敏銳的感受力、又是一個近距離目擊者，使這整件事像一個「倖存的標本」那樣地被保留下來。整本書反覆地、用極度貼近被侵害者的視角，直直逼視那種「別人奪去妳某個珍貴之物」的痛苦──且掠奪之人是以此為樂。

　　【Misfits書系】

　　聚焦於各種底層、邊緣、非主流、格格不入的個人或群體的生命記事。取材自民族誌、生命史、報導文學、陰性書寫、人文研究、社科調查等。書系精神為不渲染浮誇悲歌、不消費廉價溫情、不製造刻板印象、不鞏固傲慢偏見，但求揭露隱蔽、翻轉污名、傳達喑啞者的聲音、體現各種活著的姿態。最終讓人明白，故事的書寫者、故事裡的主人翁，乃至故事的閱讀者，在生命旅程中都可能是misfit。

驚心、難捨──各界推薦

　　「《房思琪的初戀樂園》具足了擲地有聲的雛鳳挺拔之姿。」──張亦絢

　　「來自於真實世界的故事、惡意，……這本書的書寫，本身就是一種知識傳遞的可能。」──蔡宜文

　　「這是個恐怖，耽美，像轉動音樂盒那樣各部位小齒鍵，又像無數玫瑰從裂縫伸出，綻放的故事。很像納博可夫和安潔拉．卡特的混生女兒。」──駱以軍

　　「這本小說乍看談論權力不對等之性與暴力，實際上更直指文學及語言如何成為誘姦與哄騙之物……顯然不只是一本最佳新人等級的作品。」──湯舒雯

沒關係，是悲傷啊！：直視悲傷的真相，練習守護自己與關愛他人的情緒照護指南

梅根．德凡（Megan Devine）

唯有我們理解並尊重「失去」的歷程，

才能允許悲傷，避免「悲傷剝奪」。

認同、傾聽，學習與悲傷共處，才能讓失去的痛有所依附。

★亞馬遜361條讀者評論，4.8顆星評價

★出版後連續15個月至今，分類排行榜前10名

當失去摯愛、痛徹心扉的悲劇來敲門，我們必須知道的第一件事：悲傷沒有錯。

悲傷，其實是我們面對「失去」時自然而理智的反應。那麼，為什麼我們要視悲傷為疾病，總是試圖在悲傷被表達之前，就強行抹去，並努力想盡快治癒它？

在《沒關係，是悲傷啊！》裡，梅根告訴我們面對悲傷的新方式，以及如何幫助經歷悲傷的親友。身為治療師的梅根經歷過失去摯愛的悲傷，親眼目睹摯愛的伴侶在意外中溺斃，因而能以更細膩的文字，深刻描繪難以言喻的失落、愛和悲傷。

我們總認為，面對悲傷的最終目標是回歸正常的「快樂」生活，但是；梅根卻指出了一條更健康的路：不要想著克服，學習與悲傷共同生活。在這本溫暖、細膩又真誠的書中，我們將從「悲傷者」與「關懷者」的兩種角度，同時學習到：

關懷者│出現，傾聽，不要修復

▶ 悲傷不是問題，不用急著跳出來收拾一切，設法讓痛苦消失。

▶ 別急著安慰，錯誤的支持、建議與引導，將對悲傷者造成二度傷害。

▶ 悲傷無法比較，不要急著證明自己可以理解對方。

▶ 如何幫助我們愛的人：支持和安撫的技巧、建議和注意事項。

悲傷者│失去摯愛的痛，究竟該如何調適？

▶ 允許悲傷：痛苦是失去摯愛的正常反應，沒有什麼大不了。

▶ 回不去了：生命的景色已經改變，沒有「正常」可以回復。不用修復痛苦，而是要試著照護痛苦。

▶ 實用守則：書中提供許多小練習，在悲傷初期能幫助舒緩壓力、改善睡眠、降低焦慮感，在黑洞邊緣好好活下去。

悲傷，也是一種愛的形式

若愛不需要解決，悲傷亦然

我們常將悲傷與不健康畫上等號，甚至精神科定義持續超過特定時間的悲傷就是疾病，需要醫療干預。於是當我們立意良善地想「化解」悲傷，卻反而讓失落痛苦的人覺得蒙受批判、誤解、排拒。

有太多時候，悲傷者會聽到：

「至少你們還有這麼多快樂的回憶」

「還有人比你痛苦多了」

「她已經沒有病痛了」……。

我們會覺得這些話聽來總讓人不太舒服，卻說不上原因。而梅根告訴我們，那是因為這些話都隱含了下半句的批判：「所以為什麼你不快樂起來？」

但每個人經歷悲傷的步調都不同，沒有人應該被規範或責怪。就像梅根所寫的：「愛不需要解決，悲傷亦然。」她也同時提醒我們：不要急著證明自己可以理解對方（我的爺爺也過世了，我懂…）、不要否定對方的悲傷（你怎麼還走不出來？）、不要老是想當啦啦隊（加油！你可以的！）。我們可以不爭辯講理，靜靜陪伴，不急著給建議或發表意見，只讓對方知道，你會待在他身邊。

本書透過經驗分享、研究文獻，以及正念的練習，梅根帶領我們通過悲傷這人生無法避免的歷程，無論是自身、親友，或是更廣闊的世界。

￭內容特色

▶ 在我們所處的這個閉談死亡的社會文化中，《沒關係，是悲傷啊！》指出了悲傷的真相，讓我們知道如何與悲傷共處，無論是悲傷者自己，或是關心他們的人。

▶ 本書作者梅根．德凡是一位專研於「悲傷治療」的諮商心理師，為顧及悲傷者在「失去」的情緒中閱讀與理解的困難，在撰寫本書時，與專業團隊反覆推敲出理想的篇幅長度。

▶ 本書包含研究文獻、作者的經驗、「悲傷寫作班」中失去摯愛者道出真實的心聲，以及與悲傷共處的「試試看小練習」，是一本兼顧理論與實用的書籍。

▶ 附錄提供〈可以/不可以這麼做〉的陪伴法則，提供「如何幫助悲傷的朋友」參考。

￭書評摘要

「《沒關係，是悲傷啊！》這本書讓我們在悲傷時，可以面對最真實的感受、做內心想做的、說想要說的話。或許全世界都極盡全力想逼你回歸『正軌』，但你很清楚，這是不可能的，你已經不是以前那個人了。」

──強納生．菲爾德茲（Jonathan Fields），著有《如何快樂生活》

「梅根．德凡深刻描繪了關於悲傷的經驗：悲傷不是一個待解決的問題，而是一個值得崇敬的奧祕。她了解人們在經歷悲傷時，還必須承受其他像是批判、輕蔑和誤解等痛苦。像《沒關係，是悲傷啊！》這樣的書我已經等了三十年，現在終於可以推薦給蒙受喪子、喪偶或失去親友的人。」

──唐娜．舒爾曼（Donna Schuurman），道奇悲傷兒童與家庭中心（The Dougy Center for Grieving Children & Families）

「梅根．德凡美麗的文字撫慰我們破碎的心，並破解了文化中迫使我們擔負無法承受之痛的錯誤觀念。我們不需要為了悲傷道歉！悲傷也不是一種需要盡快治療的疾病！相反地，悲傷是我們所能經歷最神聖的境界之一。梅根是我們無畏、堅強、極富同情心的引導者。」

──蜜拉白．思達爾（Mirabai Starr），譯有《在黑暗夜裡的心靈》，著有《沒有絕望的商隊》

「梅根從自身經歷中所得到的智慧，幫助我們能用更正常的觀點看待悲傷。如果厭倦了別人老是問你「好點了沒？」就來讀這本書吧！你會有嶄新體悟的。」

──克里斯‧古利博（Chris Guillebeau），《追尋吧！過你夢想的人生》

「這本書充滿著力量。有太多悲傷相關的書籍都關注在「克服」這件事上，但這本書告訴我們的卻是：「直視悲傷，和悲傷共處。」帶領我們無所畏懼地面對悲傷，充滿智慧而真誠。經歷過悲傷的人都應該讀一讀這本書。」

──泰瑞莎．里德，《塔羅牌著色書》的作者

者簡介：

查爾斯．哈尼爾（Charles F. Haanel）

美國知名作家、企業家。1866年生於美國密西根州的安娜寶市（Ann Arbor）。年輕時在聖路易（St. Louis）工作，後來為了建立事業，辭職自立門戶。他從一個小小的雜工做起，15年後創辦了自己的公司。哈尼爾善於抓住機遇，運用獨特的精神力量和商業技巧使自己的公司成長為他所屬的年代最大的企業集團之一。

1912年，46歲的哈尼爾將多年奮鬥經驗進行了詳細的總結和概括，完成了《萬能金鑰》(The Master Key System)。最初的形式是一套24週的函授課程教材，1916年才集結成一本勵志書籍，深受讀者喜愛。在本書中，作者認為個人的精神力量具有巨大的潛能，一旦掌握這些潛能，便可以獲得巨大的成功。這種觀點對於成功學的影響深遠，影響了西方國家無數的成功人士，連「成功學之父」拿破崙．希爾（Napoleon Hill）也直言自己深受其影響，甚至為本書作序。

然而，《萬能金鑰》卻在暢銷20萬冊後，於1933年在美國被教會列為禁書，70年不見天日。即使如此，仍無法澆熄人們對這本能改變命運的奇書的好奇，很多人都私下尋找閱讀，並以讀到此書為榮。在矽谷有一個人盡皆知的祕密，那就是：從矽谷起家的百萬富翁到億萬富翁，幾乎每個人都講過這本書，就連比爾‧蓋茲也在本書鼓舞下棄學從商，堪稱百年不墜的勵志經典。

股海老牛專挑抱緊股，穩穩賺100％：10項指標篩選股票，四大心法看準買賣點，伺機抱緊，這輩子從此穩穩賺

股海老牛

　　股海老牛推薦，20檔最佳抱緊股，讓你穩穩賺100％。

　　2018年，
　　臺灣股市全年共跌掉915點，股民平均賠近25萬，
　　但股海老牛卻低檔搶進股王大立光（3008）、製鞋三雄之一豐泰（9910），
　　加上長期投資的金融股，讓他賺股利也賺價差。
　　當其他股民虧得哀鴻遍野時，他每支股票的年報酬率都超過一倍以上！

　　怎麼辦到？很簡單，他掌握「抱緊處理」四原則，
　　找到能獲利一輩子的「抱緊股」，然後狠狠抱緊。
   　
　　抱：挑到好公司就要一直抱著。
　　緊：以好價格買進才抱得緊。
　　處：上下震盪能處變不驚，不敗在情緒。
　　理：理智配置投資組合，順勢加減碼。

　　作者股海老牛是痞客邦百萬財經部落客，曾創下單日5萬人造訪次數。
　　他也是商周財富網、Smart自學網、Smart台股戰情室等專欄作家。
　
　　從事股市投資多年的他，最初也自豪於自己的當沖技術，沉浸於天天獲利的喜悅，
　　但長久下來卻發現，衝的越多賠越多，不斷放空，只會讓自己的口袋也空空。
　　於是他決定改變投資方法，研究出股海老牛的「抱、緊、處、理」心法，
　　自此每年都可以穩穩獲利100%！

　　◎「抱」：挑到好公司就要一直抱著
　　好公司怎麼找？別人看每股盈餘，他說營益率才是關鍵。
　　多數人只看「現金流」，股海老牛更重視「自由現金流」，兩者差別在哪裡？
　　他更整理出找到隱形冠軍的十大指標，幫你篩選出最值得抱緊的五大台股。
　　（原來某檔股票小編也有，小編決定抱緊處理！）

　　◎「緊」：以好價格買進，你才抱得緊
　　這檔股票該用多少錢買，才是好價格？四大估價方法幫你分析出：
　　一支股票何時進場最便宜、未來成長力道如何、股利可以給到多少。
　　股海老牛用超豐（2441）、中租（5871）、智邦（2345）三檔股票親自算給你看。
     　　
　　◎「處」：上下震盪能處變不驚，不敗在情緒
　　真正害你賠錢的，不是大盤的漲跌，而是你的情緒。
　　哪些情緒老是在關鍵時刻偷走你的積蓄？
　　股海老牛用10個字告訴你。

　　◎「理」：理智配置投資組合，順勢加減碼
　　持股應分兩大類：
　　1. 核心持股（能持續發股利的大型股）。
　　2. 衛星配置（成長型的中小型股）。
　　股市新手怎麼配？老手又該怎麼配？萬一股災來臨，該如何調整？

　　巴菲特曾說：「我最喜歡的持股時間是 ──永遠。」
　　所以，找到好股票，你唯一要做的就是，伺機抱緊處理！

不一樣的中國史3: 從爭戰到霸權，信念激辯的時代──春秋戰國、秦

楊照

「中國史」是「臺灣史」的重要部分！

要回答臺灣怎麼來的，不能不理解中國歷史。

以歸零、新解的思維，扭轉你過去所讀的歷史印象

一套重新理解臺灣、理解中國、理解世界的書──

【本冊簡介】

　　春秋，是個人個性強烈發展的時代，服膺「賴活不如好死」的生命原則，這樣的信念何以被後世遺忘？戰國，是戰爭規模持續升級的時代，富國強兵是國君放不下的目標、人民躲不掉的日常，又如何衍生歷史詮釋權爭奪的現象？

　　雄辯，是戰國的風格標誌。墨家以「天志」保證兼愛；孟子讓「仁義」在戰國現實中還有用武之地；荀子講「禮」的約束訓練；國際秩序則取決於縱橫家的穿梭遊說；而在南方的楚文化，神話與異界交織的環境裡，還有個書寫個人極端情緒的屈原。最後勝出的法家，靠的是現實示範，由此建立「絕對王權」的起點。

　　秦朝是個早熟的帝國。抗拒死亡、相信久長，是秦始皇的執念；雷厲執行一統、重今賤古，是秦始皇的野心。但法家的「輕罪重罰」，形成龐大的刑徒部隊，竟成為秦帝國快速滅亡的根本原因……

【突破看點】

◆ 從《左傳》等自殺故事，看春秋人的生命情調

◆ 戰國的主題當然是「戰」，看戰國人的動員生活

◆ 深入諸子的雄辯現場，探訪癲狂的楚文化

◆ 從兵馬俑考古，挖掘秦始皇「空前」的心事

◆ 無賴劉邦和梟雄項羽的心理戰略成敗

【系列特色】（共13冊，陸續出版中）

◆ 這是為臺灣讀者而寫的中國通史──只看臺灣，不可能真正認識臺灣。從臺灣主體性出發，中國史是構成及解釋臺灣史的重要部分。

◆ 既是「一家之言」，又超越「一家之見」──楊照自比為「二手研究整合者」，站在前輩同輩學者的龐大學術基礎上，為讀者進行有意義的選擇，建立有意義的觀點。

◆ 全「新」的讀史方法──考古挖掘、敦煌文獻、大內檔案……，王國維、陳寅恪等開啟的新史學革命，以及中、臺、日和歐美學界的新研究成果，充分運用近百年新史料、新觀點，取代傳統舊說法。

◆ 用問題邀請讀者──探討歷史運作的深層邏輯，不只學What（歷史上發生了什麼），更要探究How and Why（這些事如何發生，為什麼會發生）。

◆ 點燃思考的靈光──從社會型態、民生經濟、食衣住行、文化思想的角度切入，關注歷史變化脈絡，自然而然引導獨立思辨的能力。

◆ 學習「活」的歷史──打破傳統帝王將相的「王朝史觀」，去除「中國同質性文化」的假設，改用「求異」的眼光，凸顯長久以來被忽視或誤讀的現象。

◆ 清奇的「說史」方式──既有平易酣暢的故事感，亦有歷史的現場感，更有啟迪思考的深度與廣度。

　　本書以輕鬆、簡易的方式，帶領讀者進入金錢管理的領域，並讓錢為人所用、所役使，讓錢自動變出更多的鈔票來。以最實用、不咬文嚼字，教導如何讓金錢的雪球滾得更有效率。並建立起投資理財的標準作業流程，架構一套一生受用的財務自主方案。希望讓愈來愈多的人，都能自由運用金錢的力量來圓夢，免除於金錢匱乏的恐懼。讓每個人都有錢有快樂！

　　正確的理財投資觀念：
　　◎理財的基礎，其實是一個人的「信用」問題。
　　◎投資時永遠要記住兩條準則：第一，不能虧錢，第二，永遠不能忘記第一條準則。
　　◎口袋現金不足的現代新窮人，人生中「不必要」的支出就是利息負擔。
　　◎投資理財是一件專責、專業的金錢管理流程，要懂得設立一個「資產管理帳戶」，專注做好財務管理事宜。
　　◎理財的致富方程式，就是：本金×穩定報酬率×時間＝財富！
　　◎風險並不可怕，可怕的應該是我們對投資工具或商品的不理解。
　　◎掌握變現性原則，就掌握了理財致富的關鍵密碼。
　　◎當我們整個人生的財務風險都鎖住了以後，就可以積極來衝刺高風險，但也是高報酬的投資工具！
　　◎從「變現性」來考量，我們第一個該瞄準的理財市場，其實應該是「就業市場」。
　　◎一個不穩定的報酬率，不如一個年年保持穩定的低報酬率！
　　◎負債，又不理債，基本上就是一個理財角度上的窮人。

第二座山: 當世俗成就不再滿足你，你要如何為生命找到意義？

大衛．布魯克斯David Brooks

★《紐約時報》暢銷書第一名

★《成為更好的你》（原書名《品格》）、《社會性動物》大衛．布魯克斯，最貼近生命的人生進階課

★《紐約時報》《舊金山紀事報》《今日美國》等主流媒體一致盛讚

《紐約時報》最具代表性專欄作家

大衛．布魯克斯 David Brooks

以理性與洞察剖析社會的紛擾

以自省與謙卑探究人生的價值

一個人的承諾，定義了他是什麼樣的人！

在征服世俗成就的第一座山之後，

有一種人選擇攀上第二座山，

臣服於對家庭、志業、信仰、價值的承諾，

承諾，不會帶來疲憊，只會產生無窮的力量！

看見更深層的自己，追尋靈魂渴求的進階人生。

你知道，應該要為一個比自己更崇高的理念而活。

不過，這世界早已為你設下一條攻上人生頂峰的路線：財富、權力、名聲，努力獲得幸福人生。

只是，有些人在嘗到成功滋味後，卻覺得有些悵然，

「人生只有這樣嗎？」有些人因為事業、家庭或名聲的挫敗，

從山上跌落下來；還有些人因為不在計畫中的人生悲劇，被迫走上另一條路。

這時，你意識到原來人生並不只要攀爬世界為你樹立的第一座山；

還有第二座山，同樣值得你努力征服。

《紐約時報》暢銷作家大衛．布魯克斯以敏銳且兼具智慧與哲理的文字，

探討如何在這個以自我為中心的世界，活出有意義的人生。

第二座山的人生由四個承諾所定義：家人、志業、人生觀、社會。

而能否實踐第二座山的人生，取決於是否慎選與執行這些承諾。

布魯克斯觀察許多擁有喜樂與堅定人生的人，他們充滿智慧的生命故事，

指引我們如何選擇伴侶和志業、實踐人生信念、貢獻社會，

全然將自己投身於這四個重要承諾之中，並在攀爬第二座山的路途上，看見不一樣的風景。

「『第二座山』在我的生命中始終不曾缺席。

嚴格來說，兩座山並沒有先後之別，甚至可以合而為一。

我常感到，人要獲得滿足，有兩種相反的途徑：一個是再多要一些，

另一個是少要一點，這正好點出這兩座山的差異。

第二座山便是追求人生深層的滿足，那是發自內心、滿溢著光的喜樂，

而這個喜樂來自於對『大我』的獻身。

而且第二座山的風景遠比第一座山更加迷人、新奇、神祕，

這是待在第一座山根本無從想像的。」——嚴長壽，公益平台文化基金會董事長

Luster: A Novel

Raven Leilani

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER
NATIONAL INDIE BESTSELLER

"So delicious that it feels illicit . . . Raven Leilani’s first novel reads like summer: sentences like ice that crackle or melt into a languorous drip; plot suddenly, wildly flying forward like a bike down a hill." —Jazmine Hughes, The New York Times Book Review

“An irreverent intergenerational tale of race and class that’s blisteringly smart and fan-yourself sexy.” —Michelle Hart, O: The Oprah Magazine

No one wants what no one wants.
And how do we even know what we want? How do we know we’re ready to take it?

Edie is stumbling her way through her twenties—sharing a subpar apartment in Bushwick, clocking in and out of her admin job, making a series of inappropriate sexual choices. She is also haltingly, fitfully giving heat and air to the art that simmers inside her. And then she meets Eric, a digital archivist with a family in New Jersey, including an autopsist wife who has agreed to an open marriage—with rules.

As if navigating the constantly shifting landscapes of contemporary sexual manners and racial politics weren’t hard enough, Edie finds herself unemployed and invited into Eric’s home—though not by Eric. She becomes a hesitant ally to his wife and a de facto role model to his adopted daughter. Edie may be the only Black woman young Akila knows.

Irresistibly unruly and strikingly beautiful, razor-sharp and slyly comic, sexually charged and utterly absorbing, Raven Leilani’s Luster is a portrait of a young woman trying to make sense of her life—her hunger, her anger—in a tumultuous era. It is also a haunting, aching description of how hard it is to believe in your own talent, and the unexpected influences that bring us into ourselves along the way.

Villains of All Nations: Atlantic Pirates in the Golden Age

Marcus Rediker

Villains of All Nations explores the 'Golden Age' of Atlantic piracy (1716-1726) and the infamous generation whose images underlie our modern, romanticized view of pirates.

Rediker introduces us to the dreaded black flag, the Jolly Roger; swashbuckling figures such as Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard; and the unnamed, unlimbed pirate who was likely Robert Louis Stevenson's model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island.

This history shows from the bottom up how sailors emerged from deadly working conditions on merchant and naval ships, turned pirate, and created a starkly different reality aboard their own ships, electing their officers, dividing their booty equitably, and maintaining a multinational social order. The real lives of this motley crew-which included cross-dressing women, people of color, and the'outcasts of all nations'-are far more compelling than contemporary myth.

The Wife Between Us: A Novel

Greer Hendricks

The instant New York Times Bestseller (January 2018)!

"A fiendishly smart cat-and-mouse thriller" —New York Times Book Review

"Buckle up, because you won't be able to put this one down." —Glamour

"Jaw dropping. Unforgettable. Shocking." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"The best domestic suspense novel since Gone Girl." —In Touch Weekly

When you read this book, you will make many assumptions.
You will assume you are reading about a jealous ex-wife.
You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement – a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love.
You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle.
Assume nothing.

Twisted and deliciously chilling, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen's The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Read between the lies.
