Placebo: The Belief Effect

by Dylan Evans

安慰剂: 信念的效果

2003   32  240

 

 

 

 

 

内容简介:

人们是否可以只凭思想的力量来治病?信念治疗师和替代疗法治疗师相信是可以的。那么科学怎么说呢?与一般人的感觉相反,传统的医学竟然也相信思想的治疗作用。例如,像糖丸和清水注射剂这样一些安慰剂就广泛地应用于各种病症。由于安慰剂只对相信的人才起作用,所以宣传思想的治疗作用就变得十分必要。根据免疫学和进化生物学的新思想,本书探讨了安慰剂的作用原理,以及它的欠缺和局限。

I’m with stupid: One man. One woman. 10000 years of misunderstanding between the sexes cleared right up

by Gene Weingarten and Gina Barreca

1230.00  32  240

 

 

 

 

 

 

内容简介:

Is God male or female? Why do women, but not men, flush public toilets with their feet? Why are men, but not women, obsessed with parallel parking? Why do women, but not men, leave eleven-minute messages on answering machines? Why do men feel guilty about nothing, and women feel guilty about everything? Was Marilyn Monroe...fat?  These philosophical quandaries, and more, are finally debated in I'm with Stupid, an uproariously funny dialogue between Gene Weingarten, the gleefully misogynistic Washington Post humor columnist, and Gina Barreca, the gleefully feminist University of Connecticut professor.  The first significant book about men and women actually written by a man and a woman, I'm with Stupid is privy to the dark secrets of both sexes. It's not a lecture, but an extended argument, a combustion of viewpoints that winds up unearthing startling truths. In the words of Gene and Gina: "Our Mars and Venus breach their orbits and collide in a screaming fireball from Hell."  The subject matter spans art and expression, science and technology, politics and history, spirituality and religion, sex and sexuality, as well as the complex etiology, sociology, and etymology of dirty jokes. Men: Learn at last how to know for sure when you are having a fight. Women: Learn what he really means when he says "I'm sorry." Take sides as Gene and Gina face off in a haggling challenge in which the winner manages to get the lowest price for a Mercedes S500. Or just take in the show.  I'm with Stupid is the book that finally establishes, conclusively, that women are funnier than men. And vice versa.

Germany at war: unique color photographs of the second world war

by Lt Col. George Forty

0267.00   256  24   彩图书

 

 

内容简介:

Germany at War goes far beyond the familiar images of the Third Reich, presenting rare and unseen color images of the Second World War taken by German photographers, troops and civilians.

Germany, unlike the Allies, had access to color film stock and positively encouraged the taking of pictures, particularly in the early, triumphant years of the war. These powerful photographs show for the first time the reality of the war as the Germans saw it, both in the homeland and abroad, and the color brings an added dimension to the scenes, making them somehow more ‘real’ to modern readers than sepia-toned or black and white shots. The authoritative accompanying text from military expert Lt Col. George Forty gives the background detail behind the images.

Most of all, Germany at War shows you how the war really looked to those who were actually there; it is both a unique record of this massive conflict and a reminder to today’s generations, most of whom have not experienced warfare at first hand, of the rise of fascism and the horror and devastating cost of global conflict.

 

 

 

作者简介:

Lt Col. George Forty joined the Army in 1945, was commissioned from the RMA Sandhurst in July 1948, served for 32 years in the Royal Tank Regiment, and first saw active service in Korea, where he was wounded during the Hook battle in May 1953, whilst commanding a troop of Centurion tanks in support of the Duke of Wellington’s Regiment. Ten years later, he commanded an armoured reconnaissance squadron on operations in Aden, the Persian Gulf and Borneo. He attended the Staff College in 1959 and his staff appointments included command of the RAC Tactical School. His last appointment was GSOI of the RAC Gunnery School. He left the Army in 1975 to pursue a writing career and in 1981 was appointed Director and Curator of the world-famous Tank Museum in Bovington, Dorset. During the next twelve years, with the inspirational help of his wife Anne, who worked alongside him, he tripled the size of the museum, modernized it and turned it into one of the foremost military museums in Europe. Shortly after retiring from the museum in 1993, he was made a Fellow of the Museum Association and was awarded with an OBE in the 1994 New Year’s Honours list. To date he has written over 50 books and currently edits the Regimental Journal Tank.

The miracle detective: An investigation of holy visions

by Randall Sullivan

0550.00  32  442

 

 

 

 

内容简介:

In a tiny, dilapidated trailer in northeastern Oregon, a young Mexican woman saw a vision of the Virgin Mary in an ordinary landscape painting hanging on her bedroom wall. After being met with skepticism from the local parish, the Catholic diocese officially placed the matter “under investigation.” Investigative journalist Randall Sullivan wanted to know exactly one might conduct the official inquiry into such an incident and set off to interview “the miracle detectives.” These were the theologians, historians, and postulators from the Sacred Congregation of the Causes for Saints who were charged by the Vatican with testing the miraculous and judging the holy.

What Sullivan didn’t know was that his own investigation would lead from Vatican City in Rome to the tiny village of Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where six visionaries have been receiving apparitions of the Virgin Mary. Amid a tapestry of believers, skeptics, and apostates, we meet the compassionate Father Slavko Barbaric, an intellectual priest who is known as the Medjugorje seers’ “spiritual director,” and the legendary Father Groeschel, who is continually called upon to investigate supernatural-or at least strange-phenomena across America. Sullivan’s quest turns personal, taking him from the halls of the Vatican, where Pope John Paul II counts himself among Medjugorje’ s numerous believers, to Scottsdale, Arizona, site of America’ s largest and most controversial instances of Virgin Mary sightings, culminating an eight-year investigation of predictions of apocalyptic events, false claims of revelation, and the search for a genuine theophony, that is, the ultimate interface between man and God.

Randall Sullivan is a contributing editor to both Rolling Stone and Men’s Journal. He is the author of The Price of Experience and Labyrinth.

THE CHINESE CENTURY is a magnificent and moving photographic chronicle of the past tumultuous century of china's history. It brings together nearly 300 hundred stunning photographs, most of them never before published outside China, and an authoritative and accessible text by Jonathan Spence and Annping Chin.

Alongside these often shocking scenes are glorious landscapes and teeming cities, intimate portraits of Chinese men and women, townspeople and peasants, artists, writers, film stars and the country's leaders, as they have rarely been seen in the West. THE CHINESE CENTURY's spectacular array of photographs bring to life, as never before, the hidden face of China.

Dogs at War: True Stories of Canine Courage Under Fire

by Blythe Hamer

0267.00 32 160

 

 

内容简介:

Dogs at War is a fascinating collection of true-life accounts of canine courage under fire. In military conflicts around the world, these often unsung heroes have proved themselves time and time again to be the soldier's best friend in moments of crisis, and many have won decorations for their acts of bravery. From the 'kamikaze' mine-attack dogs used by the Red Army to destroy panzers in the invading Wehrmacht's tank parks, to the parachuting dog who went into action with a British airborne division in World War Two, and the forgotten 'War Dogs' who saved up to 10,000 lives in the Vietnam War, these extraordinary stories will appeal not just to military history enthusiasts but to all true dog lovers.
