英文简介: A PERSONAL CODE FOR GETTING THE BEST FROM EVERYONE.

We all know someone who is a natural ‘people person’. They seem to understand what people really want, what they really think and what they really mean. They can effortlessly get people onside, and keep them happy and motivated.

Is there something they know that the rest of us don’t? Is it something we can all learn? The answer is a resounding yes. They know The Rules of People.

These Rules are the guiding principles that show you how to connect with strangers, build strong relationships with friends and colleagues, and even get the best out of difficult people. They will help you say the right thing, do the right thing, and know instinctively how to handle every situation. You’ll have relaxed, easy relationships and you’ll be that person who gets on with everyone.

中文概要: 我一直很喜欢科茨沃尔德。我想我在找到这处世外桃源之地之前就对之心之向往，在尚未成形之前，我可以在此安家。这是一片祥和宁静的绿草如茵的地方，道路在干石墙间蜿蜒曲折，从一个小镇至另一个小镇， 蓝色的小溪如绸带般流淌至河流，又从河流返回到小溪。

8年来，克莱尔麦金托什(Clare Mackintosh)为《科茨沃尔德田园诗般的生活》讲述了她和一个年轻家庭在乡下生活的起起落落。在这部回忆录中个，她第一次将所有这些故事，甚至更多的故事，汇聚在一起。从养鸡到喝醉，渴望能一劳永逸地对付虱子，作者以温馨，诙谐和暖心的文笔为读者打开了一扇通向乡村家庭生活的大门。(Sandy)

英文简介: A heart-warming and humorous look at nature and motherhood by the most successful crime writers of recent years

I have always loved the Cotswolds. I think I loved them even before I found them, in that half-formed ideal one has of where to put down roots. Somewhere peaceful, green, where the road meanders between drystone walls and from town to town, and a strip of blue bursts from brook to river and back again.

For 8 years, Clare Mackintosh wrote for Cotswold Life about the ups and downs of life with a young family in the countryside. In this memoir she brings together all of those stories - and more - for the first time. From keeping chickens to getting the WI drunk, longing for an Aga to dealing with nits, Clare opens the door to family life with warmth and humour and heart.

英文简介: "[Strange Harvests is] an impressive addition to the modern travelogue, painting some of the world’s most remote terrain in visceral and sometimes breathtaking prose . . . an engrossing read." --NPR

An original and magical map of our world and its riches, formed of the stories of the small-scale harvests of seven natural objects

In this beguiling book, Edward Posnett journeys to some of the most far-flung locales on the planet to bring us seven wonders of the natural world--eiderdown, vicuña fiber, sea silk, vegetable ivory, civet coffee, guano, and edible birds’ nests--that promise ways of using nature without damaging it. To the rest of the world these materials are mere commodities, but to their harvesters they are imbued with myth, tradition, folklore, and ritual, and form part of a shared identity and history.

Strange Harvests follows the journeys of these uncommon products from some of the most remote areas of the world to its most populated urban centers, drawing on the voices of the people and little-known communities who harvest, process, and trade them. Blending history, travel writing, and interviews, Posnett sets these human stories against our changing economic and ecological landscape. What do they tell us about capitalism, global market forces, and overharvesting? How do local microeconomies survive in a hyperconnected world? Is it possible for us to live together with different species? Strange Harvests makes us see the world with wonder, curiosity, and new concern.

中文概要: 一個關於追捕世界頭號蝴蝶走私商的真實故事

蝴蝶是世界上最美麗、也是瀕臨絕種的生物之一。蝴蝶在黑市的要價，和猩猩、熊貓和犀牛不相上下。而在這競爭激烈、獲利價值高達兩百萬美元的蝴蝶走私產業，Yoshi Kojima 賺的錢最多，也是蝴蝶保育的最大威脅。
美國漁業與野生動物局新手特務 Ed Newcomer ，下定決心要將Kojima 繩之於法。 為了接近 Kojima，Ed 假扮成想要進入這個走私產業的學徒。由於 Ed經驗不足，讓原本就具有高超生存本領和多疑性格的 Kojima 兩次都成功脫逃了。
眼看就要永遠錯失逮捕 Kojima的時機，Ed 終於又得到最後一次機會。在這場追捕中，Kojima 居然開始對 偽裝成學徒的Ed感到好奇……。而為了蒐集資料，本書作者 Jessica發現自己竟然也捲入這場摻雜貪婪、迷戀和性誘惑的追捕過程中……(Jennifer)

英文简介: “I am the world’s most wanted butterfly smuggler. I am the Indiana Jones of insects.”—Yoshi Kojima

A tale of greed, obsession and sexual temptation in the vein of The Orchid Thief—the story of the world’s most wanted butterfly smuggler, the rookie U.S. Fish and Wildlife agent who finally brings him down, and the writer who found herself at the middle of the story

One of the world’s most beautiful endangered species, butterflies are as lucrative as gorillas, pandas, and rhinos on the black market. And in this cutthroat $200 million business, no one made more money—or posed a great ecological danger—than Yoshi Kojima, the kingpin of butterfly smugglers.

Determined to capture Kojima, rookie U.S. Field and Wildlife Agent Ed Newcomer became close to the smuggler, posing as a young apprentice eager to learn the trade. But twice the agent’s inexperience allowed this criminal with a nearly supernatural sense of survival and an overwhelming sense of paranoia to get away.

Just when it seemed Kojima was out of reach, Newcomer was given one last chance to reel him in. Somewhere in the hunt, Kojima had become obsessed with the agent—a mistake that would lead to almost two years in prison and deportation.

But the story doesn’t end there. Working undercover to research this book, Jessica Speart
befriended Kojima as...
