英文简介: Celebrating 20 years of Cloud Atlas, this edition includes sprayed edges, illustrated endpapers, a foreword by Gabrielle Zevin and a new afterword by the author.

How vulgar, this hankering after immortality, how vain, how false.

Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies…

Six interlocking lives – one amazing adventure. In a narrative that circles the globe and reaches from the 19th century to a post-apocalyptic future, Cloud Atlas erases the boundaries of time, genre and language to offer an enthralling vision of humanity’s will to power, and where it will lead us.

英文简介: Universities have a crucial role in the modern world. In England, entrance to universities is by nation-wide competition which means English universities have an exceptional influence on schools--a striking theme of the book. This important book first investigates the university as an institution and then tracks the individual on their journey to and through university. In A University Education, David Willetts presents a compelling case for the ongoing importance of the university, both as one of the great institutions of modern society and as a transformational experience for the individual. The book also makes illuminating comparisons with higher education in other countries, especially the US and Germany.

Drawing on his experience as UK Minister for Universities and Science from 2010 to 2014, the author offers a powerful account of the value of higher education and the case for more expansion. He covers controversial issues in which he was involved from access for disadvantaged students to the introduction of L9,000 fees. The final section addresses some of the big questions for the future, such as the the relationship between universities and business, especially in promoting innovation.. He argues that the two great contemporary trends of globalisation and technological innovation will both change the university significantly.

This is an authoritative account of English universities setting them for the first time in their new legal and regulatory framework.

中文概要: 由于我们受快节奏的社会、社交媒体的影响和气候变化的威胁，今天的儿童面临着他们这一代人特有的挑战。将正念作为课程的一部分，无论是在课堂上还是在家庭学校环境中，都能传授宝贵的生活技能，孩子们可以将其应用于学习的各个方面，并在以后的生活的各个阶段得以提升。

心理学家阿莫尼塔•贝克斯坦和正念教育家兼实践者乔娜•约克汇集了他们的知识和经验，合作编写了一份为期八周的课程，其中包括基于经验的练习，用于将正念融入课堂，以及讨论问题，以提高批判性思维技能。

作者使用元音（包括“你”的Y）作为助记符，每个元音代表一个帮助学生培养当下意识的课程：注意力、体验、调查、观察和理解。书中的四十项引人入胜的活动和游戏帮助孩子们将学到的概念付诸实践。《正念教学》提供了正念教育的基本核心原则，丰富了教学和学习经验。(ZY)

英文简介: Due to our fast-paced society, the impact of social media, and the threat of climate change, today’s children are facing challenges unique to their generation. Incorporating mindfulness as part of their curriculum―whether in a classroom or a home school setting―teaches invaluable life skills that children can apply to all aspects of learning, and later, through all stages of life.

Psychologist Amoneeta Beckstein and mindfulness educator and practitioner Jana York have pooled their knowledge and experience and teamed up to compile an eight-week curriculum with empirically-based exercises for integrating mindfulness in classrooms, as well as discussion questions for enhancing critical thinking skills.

The authors use vowels (including Y for “You”) as a mnemonic device, with each vowel representing a lesson that helps students develop present-moment awareness: Attention, Experience, Investigate, Observe, and Understand. Forty engaging activities and games help children put into practice the concepts they learned. Teaching Mindfulness provides the essential core principles of mindfulness education and enriches both the teaching and learning experience.

中文概要:

英文简介: As the world undergoes daily transformations through the application of technoscience to every aspect of life, science fiction has become an essential mode of imagining the horizons of possibility. However much science fiction texts vary in artistic quality and intellectual sophistication, they share in a mass social energy and a desire to imagine a collective future for the human species and the world. At this moment, a strikingly high proportion of films, commercial art, popular music, video and computer games, and non-genre fiction have become what Csicsery-Ronay calls science fictional, stimulating science-fictional habits of mind. We no longer treat science fiction as merely a genre-engine producing formulaic effects, but as a mode of awareness, which frames experiences as if they were aspects of science fiction. The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction describes science fiction as a constellation of seven diverse cognitive attractions that are particularly formative of science-fictionality. These are the "seven beauties" of the title: fictive neology, fictive novums, future history, imaginary science, the science-fictional sublime, the science-fictional grotesque, and the Technologiade, or the epic of technsocience’s development into a global regime.
