中文概要: Yumiko Kadota是每個亞洲父母的夢想：模範生，是醫學院的佼佼者，並有望成為一名外科醫生。她自認是工作狂，犧牲自己的生活，因為知道這一切都是值得的，目的她將達成渴望的職業。終於她完成學業，成為實習醫生，沒想到這竟是惡夢的開始，面連醫院的剝削，職場的霸凌及歧視，長時間的工作待命，終於她精疲力盡崩潰了…
此書將由她自述如何從身心創傷後重新找回自己，並揭發澳洲的實習醫生培訓的不平等及種族性別歧視等問題。(Vincent)

英文简介: Yumiko Kadota was every Asian parent’s dream: model student, top of her class in medical school and on track to becoming a surgeon. A self-confessed workaholic, she regularly put ‘knife before life’, knowing it was all going to be worth it because it would lead to her longed-for career.
But if the punishing hours in surgery weren’t hard enough, she also faced challenges as a young female surgeon navigating a male-dominated specialty. She was regularly left to carry out complex procedures without senior surgeons’ oversight; she was called all sorts of things, from ‘emotional’ to ‘too confident’; and she was expected to work a relentless on-call roster – sometimes seventy hours a week or more – to prove herself.
Eventually it was too much and Yumiko quit.
Emotional Female is her account of what it was like to train in the Australian public hospital system, and what made her walk away.
Yumiko Kadota is a voice for her generation when it comes to burnout and finding the resilience to rebuild after suffering a physical, emotional and existential breakdown. This is a brave, honest and unflinching work from a major new talent.

中文概要: 道格•克尔肖作为小提琴手、作曲家和歌手的音乐生涯跨越了70多年。他出生在路易斯安娜州西南部沼泽地带的一艘拴在柏树上的游艇上，他的家人沿着墨曼迪河上下捕鱼为生。鳄鱼和蛇潜伏在水下。酗酒和暴力在上空潜伏。那些流行的船屋舞，是逃避严酷生活方式的唯一方法。

在克尔肖一家因为家庭悲剧被迫搬到镇上之前，克尔肖只会说卡戎语法语。当他八岁的时候，他得到了他的第一双鞋，同年他开始通过拉小提琴和擦鞋来养活他的母亲。在他的职业生涯中，他已经掌握了28种乐器。由于他的音乐创作和娱乐的标志性风格，克尔肖被许多人认为是一个完美的表演者和讲故事的人。

这是一个经典的美国故事，讲述了一个年轻人如何从沼泽地带的贫困中崛起，登上卡内基音乐厅的舞台。尽管很多演艺人员都有酗酒、吸毒、离婚、丑闻、破产、音乐行业的困境，甚至癌症，但道格•克尔肖的生活充满了令人兴奋和滑稽的冒险。证据就在他一路上遇到的那些了不起的人身上:罗杰•米勒、约翰尼•卡什、玛丽•泰勒•摩尔、克里斯•克里斯托弗森、鲍勃•迪伦、利昂•拉塞尔、让•谢菲尔德、切特•阿特金斯、杰瑞•李•刘易斯、比尔•怀曼等等。

英文简介: Doug Kershaw’s musical career as a fiddler, songwriter, and singer has spanned over seventy years. Born on a houseboat tied to a cypress tree in the swamps of Southwest Louisiana, his family followed the fishing up and down the Mermantau River. Alligators and snakes lurked beneath the waters. Alcoholism and violence lurked above. The fais do-dos, those popular houseboat dances, were the only escape from a harsh way of life.

Until the Kershaws were forced to move into town following a family tragedy, Kershaw spoke only Cajun-French. He got his first pair of shoes when he was eight years old, the same year he began supporting his mother by playing fiddle and shining shoes. Throughout his career, he has mastered twenty-eight instruments. Because of his signature style of music-making and entertaining, Kershaw is considered by many to be a consummate performer and storyteller.

His is a classic American story of how one young man rose from poverty in the swamps to the stage at Carnegie Hall. Despite the pitfalls known to many entertainers--alcohol and cocaine rehab, divorces, scandal, bankruptcy, music business woes, even cancer--Doug Kershaw’s life was filled with exciting and comic adventures. The proof is in the amazing people he met along the way: Roger Miller, Johnny Cash, Mary Tyler Moore, Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Jean Shepherd, Chet Atkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Wyman, and many more.

Kershaw recalls the bad and the good with the same humor that helped him survive it all. While many accolades have since come his way, his greatest pride was hearing his autobiographical song, "Louisiana Man," broadcast back from space before Apollo 12 landed on the moon.

英文简介: Before the devastating ’loss of her marbles’, Mrs Royle, a nurse by profession, is a marvellously no-nonsense character, an autodidact who reads widely and voraciously - from Trollope to Woolf, Tennyson to Foucault - swears at her fox-hunting neighbours, and instils in the young Nick a love of reading and of wildlife that will form his character and his career.,br> In this touching, funny and beautifully written portrait of family life, mother-son relationships and bereavement, Nicholas Royle captures the spirit of post-war parenting as well as of his mother whose dementia and death were triggered by the tragedy of losing her other son - Royle’s younger brother - to cancer in his twenties.
At once poetic and philosophical, this extraordinary memoir is also a powerful reflection on climate crisis and ’mother nature’, on literature and life writing, on human and non-human animals, and on the links between the maternal and memory itself.

中文概要:

英文简介: This engaging and touching historical memoir based on years of research and unforgettable interviews is a tale of Britons and Germans, and their contrasting values. It is the life story of a journalist who has lived with both peoples for over 50 years. His German mother emigrated to England after falling foul of the Nazis. His British father fought in World War II, and the author grew up proud of Britain’s victory over Hitler. Yet from an early age, he became acquainted with German relatives and the German economic miracle. After creating mayhem during the Nazi era, Germans have regained the high ground through unreserved assumption of guilt. Through the hard work and thrift the author already observed in his grandfather, Germans are set to become the natural leaders in Europe. During the Cold War, the author lived as a Reuters correspondent in Communist East Berlin, the only Western journalist permitted to do so, experiencing the militaristic habits of old Germany and the humiliation of a people saddled with a failed economic system they did not want.

Acutely observed and brilliantly narrated, the book traces the dramatic changes which have taken place in the two peoples’ attitudes since the war: Britain acts according to the principles of its military heritage, while Germany has swung to pacifism. The author highlights exceptional characters (and controversial ones) who dared to swim against the tide. Some paid a severe price, but others such as Ludwig Erhard, Lucius Clay and Willy Brandt changed the course of history. No religion, doctrine or teaching showed them which way to go. They instinctively felt back to simple values in their inner consciences. With a foot in both camps, the author has to define where he stands on important moral issues of our time, inspiring the reader to do the same.

中文概要:

英文简介: Betty Bard MacDonald (1907–1958), the best-selling author of The Egg and I and the classic Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle children’s books, burst onto the literary scene shortly after the end of World War II. Readers embraced her memoir of her years as a young bride operating a chicken ranch on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, and The Egg and I sold its first million copies in less than a year. The public was drawn to MacDonald’s vivacity, her offbeat humor, and her irreverent take on life. In 1947, the book was made into a movie starring Fred MacMurray and Claudette Colbert, and spawned a series of films featuring MacDonald’s Ma and Pa Kettle characters.

MacDonald followed up the success of The Egg and I with the creation of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, a magical woman who cures children of their bad habits, and with three additional memoirs: The Plague and I (chronicling her time in a tuberculosis sanitarium just outside Seattle), Anybody Can Do Anything (recounting her madcap attempts to find work during the Great Depression), and Onions in the Stew (about her life raising two teenage daughters on Vashon Island).

Author Paula Becker was granted full access to Betty MacDonald’s archives, including materials never before seen by any researcher. Looking for Betty MacDonald, a biography of this endearing Northwest storyteller, reveals the story behind the memoirs and the difference between the real Betty MacDonald and her literary persona.
