英文简介: What does climate change actually mean for ordinary people, right now?

In Between the Lines, award-winning travel writer Gunnar Garfors sets out on an extraordinary journey along the Equator and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles to find out. His route takes him far off the beaten path, down the Congo River on a cargo ship, across Siberia by train, and over Antarctic ice in a tracked vehicle, as he seeks to understand the human cost of a rapidly changing climate.

Through powerful storytelling, vivid nature writing, and moving encounters with people along the way, Garfors offers a status report from a world under pressure. He shows how a changing climate affects the daily lives of fishermen, farmers, city dwellers, and Indigenous communities — from the Amazon rainforest to the icy wilderness of Greenland.

This is climate reporting with a human face. Gripping, eye-opening, and deeply moving. Between the Lines is not just a travelogue, but a vital document of our time.

中文概要: 一部充滿女性機智交鋒、幽默的回憶錄，帶人一窺英國貴族女性與女僕的真實生活

「我能夠與樓梯下和樓上的每個人都相處得很好，至少我是這麼認為的，直到我開始為阿斯特子爵夫人工作……」

1929 年，約克郡姑娘羅西娜·哈里森(Rosina Harrison) 成為阿斯特子爵夫人(Lady Astor) 的侍女：阿斯特夫人是第一位獲得席位的女議員，也是英格蘭最富有的貴族之一的妻子。

阿斯特夫人才華橫溢，但脾氣暴躁，直言不諱的羅西娜盡其所能。這兩個女人之間的意志和智慧角力持續了 35 年，直到一段不太可能的友誼開始出現。

《夫人的侍女》對「樓上」的巨額財富和「樓下」無休止的工作進行了引人入勝的洞察，但羅西娜與阿斯特夫人的獨特關係使這本書真正引人入勝。(Zoe)

英文简介: ’I was able to get on well with everyone below stairs and above, or so I thought until I began working for Lady Astor...’

In 1929, Yorkshire lass Rosina Harrison became personal maid to Lady Astor: the first female Member of Parliament to take her seat and wife of one of England’s wealthiest lords.

Lady Astor was brilliant yet tempestuous, but outspoken Rose gave as good as she got. For 35 years the battle of wills and wits raged between the two women, until an unlikely friendship began to emerge.

The Lady’s Maid is a captivating insight into the great wealth ’upstairs’ but also the endless work ’downstairs’, but it is Rose’s unique relationship with Lady Astor that makes this book a truly enticing read.

中文概要: 本书既是一段个人陈述，又是信息丰富的科学观点，探讨了暴食症的问题。作者Kathryn Hansen在书中坦诚地与大家分享了自己作为暴食症患者的经历和恢复的方法。本书与其它相关图书的主要区别在于，它没有将暴食症作为复杂的情绪和心理问题的表现形式。作者在书中反驳了这种主流观点，并解释了为什么传统饮食紊乱疗法没能治好包括她自己在内的许多人的暴食症。她用一种全新的方式看待自己的暴食症，并利用自己大脑的力量快速且永久地治愈了暴食症。作者还对进食障碍的一些相关话题如低自尊、不良体型、节食等进行了启发性的探讨。本书是一部勇敢的作品，能够通过其传播的有关自由意志、自我依赖和自我控制的积极信息帮助许多人。（LYR）

英文简介: Second Edition:

After completely and independently conquering a debilitating eating disorder, Kathryn Hansen wrote Brain over Binge to share her struggle—and her escape from it—with those still trapped in the compulsive binge-purge cycle. Since the book’s initial release in 2011, it has endured as an essential road map for using the power of the brain to erase harmful habits and create lasting change. The second edition is fully revised and updated with new information, compelling insights, and uplifting success stories that will inspire readers to break free from their own self-defeating behaviors.

Brain over Binge is both a memoir and a scientific account, providing a gripping personal narrative and a research-based perspective on bulimia and binge eating disorder. Kathryn traces the course of her own condition and then describes in detail her unconventional approach to recovery. In the process, she offers a much-needed alternative viewpoint on the landscape of eating disorder literature to help others in the throes of any form of out-of-control eating.

The mainstream view of bulimia holds that it’s a complex disorder that manifests as a means of coping with deep underlying emotional and psychological problems. But the author resolutely departs from this philosophy, cuts through the confusion she experienced in traditional therapy, and simplifies both the origins of binge eating and its cure. As Kathryn explains the brain-based principles that led to her recovery from relentless bingeing and purging, Brain over Binge sheds current and crucial light on our human potential to overcome destructive patterns and reclaim our lives.

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.

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.

英文简介: 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.

英文简介: A darkly funny memoir and investigation into the charms and crimes of the untrustworthy

Romance scams, pyramid schemes, bogus debts and fake news, the world is awash with confidence tricksters and swindlers. But what happens if the fraudster is your lover?

It has been said that trust is a risk masquerading as a promise and, as Hemingway suggested, ‘The way to make people trustworthy is to trust them’. Once we have fallen under the spell of malevolent hucksters, their power is real, as is the loss of self and hope when the spell breaks.

A hybrid memoir and a personal detective story, Trust is an exploration of what it means to trust, why we trust, and what happens when trust is betrayed. With a particular view to fraud and corruption within the hallowed walls of sandstone universities, Ryckmans brings to light the oft subtle, brutal nature of the control that fraudsters have over their victims, and shows the deep impacts their actions have on others personally and professionally. The cover up – sometimes said to be worse than the crime – has insidious effects.

Trust is a fractured fable. It is darkly funny, wistful, and spare in tone and approach.
